Deniability, it's as simple as that. His Cesear moment is coming though. Money won't be enough to protect him forever or from the mobs of pissed off MAGA Veterans (shooters) he's ruined. 38% isn't a good poll to have.. just my thoughts.

Fraud, Waste and Abuse. All we have to do is know those tasked to oversee our tax dollars are being spent wisely are now understaffed or gone all together. This also happened with his CARES Act, "F-W-A" ran rampant! Hundreds of billions of his $2.2 Trillion dollar handout were stolen.

I've more trust that these budget cuts to most Americans will be the jolt that gets Americans off their couches and into the streets in revolt. Republicans face severe cuts to rural living and I'd argue even more severe than in urban communities. It's good that Republicans own whats happening imo.

I give it another month before his base retaliate, especially when Congress slashes these social programs. Republicans aren't the brightest crayons and they thought a vote for trump would affect others, not them. WELL, it's going to affect them much more than urban communities.

He is losing support around this country and if republicans pass draconian cuts to social services like medicaid, SNAP and senior benefits??? He's going to see his approval rating drop by double digits by the end of March. Americans don't understand how much of our economy is from the federal govt.

Republicans will never (IMO) impeach Trump in Congress. It will take a flip in Congress to Democrat/Independent representatives/senators.

The problem is that the incentives to throw away are greater than fixing the problem. American stores throw away far more than customers know. That food rots in landfills which has and is causing massive methane release all across this country. 2 birds 1 stone.

Incentives to donate these foods like dry goods (beans, rice, pasta etc) that reach their date to food banks. Make walmarts(& others) all have backup generators so when (not if) power goes out they don't throw millions of dollars out.
Waste increases the cost of non expired products that are bought.

Hunger? Waste is massive. I've worked in grocery stores. Perfectly good food is thrown away because the "use by" dates hit. Grocery stores can't sell goods like canned soup, dry pasta et al. Want to stop waste? Fix expiration dates and revise how stores get to write those losses off on their taxes.

I've heard from very reliable sources that Mars has a golf course 4 times better than anything Earth has and the women!? The women LOVE the color orange!

Janet, do not cave to this idiot. After the budget it's likely going to sink MAGA when their base turn on Trump and President Musk. 1200 drop today in market, prices skyrocketing.. gas prices not diving as promised and he's firing millions AND wants to give everyone another Inflationary Stimulus?!

This has been their stance with who is in charge of doge. Apparently no one is in charge? It's by design, no one in charge means no one goes to jail later. They KNOW what they're doing is illegal. Performance is their reason. Lawsuits will be big as their reason is a lie for these terminations.

They'll be hurt more than urban districts anyway. As someone in Rural America can attest most of those who see doctors here use medicaid/medicare and as someone who worked at a grocer ~20% use EBT benefits or snap. Many aren't aware of these proposed cuts and when I mention it they turn more white.

This is the early stages of privatizing the usps. President Musk will rename it "Xmail" soon as president Musk will take this 200yr old service off the publics hands, for a small price ofc.

some go in for the money... Trump is there for the power. I hope this doesn't mean down the road that he'll have a say in what broadcasters can broadcast if the very conservative Courts give him this.

And this sums up why I am and have been a registered Independent since 2014. Sure, I absolutely voted for Biden and then Harris not because I liked them. Because the status quo was better than what we're experiencing now with this yellow potato reject.

I've been in support of cutting this since 2014. Freedom of speech tied to your bank account allows assholes like musk to buy elections. They tried a similar thing in the 1970s and it lasted a very short while. People were more wise back then compared to today.

Absolute cowards. They'll send OUR kids into war but won't save what many many thousand DIED to protect. COWARDS! TRAITORS!

getting rid of hard currency like pennies is a better talking point than eggs, sorry. Egg prices are easily explained. Prior to Trump taking over conservatives I know were losing their shit at the idea of Biden getting rid of hard currency then Trump did. This freaks them out.

They'll make more in the private sector just as many of our civil servants can or could. It's not always about the money for some, for some it's pride knowing what they do matters. For some its saving the environment, others its finding cures to disease or the pride of putting on a ranger hat.

The entire federal civilian workforce amounts to about 8% of federal spending. If you want to truly cut out spending they'll have to Axe things like Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid and SNAP entirely. That's a huge amount, not to mention military spending which is also gigantic. 8% though?

I really don't think anyone in that administration gives 1 iota of dookie about your laws. YOU follow them, they don't. Unless the court has control over the secret service? then maybe POTUS would care... and that's a stretch.

I am unaware of the Courts powers over other branches of government. Outside of "laws" or "constitution" or WORDS in general... what TEETH do our courts possess? Because they can sling words all day at someone who gives zero crap about them. Clearly Congress is in Kahoots with his crazy.

Yet he is all in for what causes many to seek IVF, micro-plastics. We don't know much about them but fertility and mental health were a couple early discoveries. We also know most people are collecting micro-plastics in their bodies.

It is defined as Fraud, waste and abuse.
The reality? They're not mission critical, we're not at war and THIS erodes the public's trust towards our public institutions. He was GIVEN a lucrative deal as payment for helping Trump get elected. Falls on deaf ears in congress as this is common.

Fraud, abuse and waste.
Fraud: quid pro quo
Abuse: public trust
Waste: we do not need armored tesla for anything at all. We're not in war time spending.

I spent enough years in as a civil servant to tell you the fraud and waste isn't created or perpetuated by civil servants. That trophy lands with businesses lobbying congress members to provide services or equipment. Here's an example: $400million for armored Teslas. LOADS of abuse in that pkg.

I live in Rural America, I worked today and had a conversation about the Nuclear specialists he fired, the ATC's he also fired, how musk has their IRS and Treasury information and can literally take money out of your account as he did that to the NY Bank. Oh, they're more upset about Pennies!! haha

"Rigged" ... yep, I remember that too and knew he wasn't going to leave peacefully after his first term. I told an uncle (trump supporter) he wasn't going to leave he said he would, then January 6th happened. I'm telling everyone the obvious now, he's not going to leave peacefully this round too.

If you're a Federal Civilian Employee do not open any email until you've downloaded, printed or saved your SF50's, all your evaluations or any other information related to your position. I'm hearing once you open the "termination" email it locks you out of your system/comp.

I would've figured they'd have realized the country was watching and tuck tail and about face... Nope? He really means to break the law to "save our country" (by letting criminals roam free???! who are they kidding!?).

He assimilates with rapists and human traffickers. He was a frequent flier with 7 flights logged with his pal and long time miscreant, Jeffery Epstine.
