US MSM glows in the dark. I guarantee you if any of their ongoing ops are reported on, its because they were explicitly allowed to and it poses no threat to the ops continued success.
On the other hand the MSM is uncompromisingly anti Trump and the Feds are currently in the middle of a shadow Civil War with Trump. This could be some anti Trump feds leaking to the press in an effort to self sabotage the operation.
 
Trump really is an IRL anime protagonist.
Season 1: He was a plucky upstart who was eventually betrayed and defeated due to his trust and naivete.
Season 2: He is training and preparing to defeat Freeza deep state while they do all they can to finish him off for good.
Season 3: Everyone gives him their energy so he can survive and win the election and now with his new found wisdom and friendships he is finally the shonen hero America deserves!
Death to all anime avatars, here on the Farms too!
 
Dam I ended up in the Elon thread from the happenings thread those people are legit bluesky tier lmao. Do people really think the SSA isn't being scammed out of money with dead SSN numbers? we have seen stories of that exact thing happening for decades just because they didn't have a way to ensure someone who dies is marked as deceased. There have been legit govt investigations confirming yes millions of SSNs never got marked deceased due to how poorly the system is run and payments are barely monitored at all as seen in the recent treasury stuff.

Every single govt program is scammed by bad actors in one way or another and they all basically need to be torn down and remade at a minimum.
 
Germs, Franks, and Goths. (lol, what's the difference? They're all considered Germanic at the end of the day and who can blame anyone?)
keep in mind those are just the general words for coalitions of different peoples
And there were at least fucking three major ones we know of
Germany was an assortment of tribes only up until the Franco-Prussian war where a "single" German identity was born but their peoples were still "germanic" hence why I call them "germs" and quite frankly, they're all to blame, the goths taking the lion's share.
 
I take back everything I ever said about the British.
the british do it too. every single country in europe is corrupted. they whine and whine and whine about muh evil russia but they're all petty dictatorships, exactly the same as russia

Hundreds charged with online ‘speech crimes’ under ‘Orwellian’ crackdown​

Hundreds of people have been charged with online “speech crimes” amid claims from the Trump administration that civil liberties are under threat in Britain.

Almost 300 people have been charged with spreading illegal “fake news” or sending “threatening communications” since the Online Safety Act came into force in 2023. Dozens have received convictions under the act.
The Online Safety Act, which was passed into law under Rishi Sunak’s Conservative government, requires technology giants to tackle dangerous online posts and videos or risk billions of pounds in fines.

It also created a number of new criminal offences. These include cyberflashing, sharing “revenge porn” and sending illegal false communications, more commonly referred to as a “fake news” offence.

thank you for the very cool meme you found on facebook, grandpa. i hope your recent colonoscopy went well
 
You're missing the last part: when you do try to shake things up for the benefit of the company, you get shut down by higher-ups who don't want the change because it disrupts how they want things done, or because it makes them look like slobs. Then there are the people around that higher up who are simply lazy or are rumpswabs and don't want any change that requires them to do work or might upset their manager (whom they think is their friend, lol).
For sure. It's the garbage-in, garbage-out mentality. Your bosses got where they're at because they're brown nosing, business as usual snakes, so that's what they reward. Any challenge to the status quo is a perceived challenge to their authority, because if the BIG bosses knew that you were actually competent and willing to put in effort to make things smoother, then your immediate boss would potentially be out of a job.

There's a lot of layers to the dysfunction present in any large entity. While there's obviously going to be some growing pains, we've already seen it with the administration accidentally laying people off that should've actually been retained, I think in four years, at the end of it all, we'll be better off for it.
It’s led by the world’s richest autist and history’s most spiteful president. We won’t have to worry about bribery for at least another year, and by that point it’ll have already been a tremendous success.
I'm of the Louisiana way of thinking, where it's expected for politicians to be "reasonably corrupt" as long as they get the job done. The problem is that for a long time, DC has been quite flagrantly, unreasonably corrupt, while also committing the cardinal sin of not getting the job done.

Saxons - England and Scotland

Lombards - Italy

Yeah, but the British have cool movies, music, and history. We share a linguistic, political, and legal history with the British.

What do the Germans have? Several religious wars, two world wars, and... Nena?

The krauts were no more than a random disease finishing off an AIDs patient. A healthy Rome would've easily culled and assimilated the remnants.
 
I don't think there's any serious allegation that they are, but really, since there's no news about their methods, it's probably something dead damned simple, like that or just looking over spreadsheets in the most basic way possible. We're getting the poorly hidden, surface level stuff.
I bet it's one of those things where they find the one thing that is actually being allocated for what it's called and does something noble then everything else is the culprit.

Hasn't it been like this since at the very least when JFK took office? Anyone who didn't play ball ended up like him.
If Trump can finally put the feds in their place during his term, he will be the greatest president of our time in my book.
 
actual, genuine treason. this is just proof of treason in my view, outright. there is zero reason for there to be an option to make it untraceable. unbelievable.
INTENTIONALLY made untraceable.
Whole egregious, it's mostly laziness. How it works is there's a code for why the money is going out. Thank if it like an invoice. Basically, these lazy fucks were sending out payments and not bothering to do the extra five minutes to enter the pay code and recipient information.

This is something that very likely became common just from complacency and laziness, and rightly the administration has made this a mandatory step in the process.

Also notice DOGE specifically giving an attaboy to the US Treasury, which further reinforces my point that, very likely, the majority of these reforms are being driven by the rank and file finally having an outlet to voice concerns and be heard.
 
the british do it too.
We're also very eager to acquiesce to the US, even if we grumble, so I think we'd be the first to slide back into relative freedom pre-'97 if Trump and Vance push hard enough. I think the Europeans, even Germany and Sweden, will come around eventually once America sets a new paradigm just as they did during the Cold War, the War on Terror, etcetera. You saw with the CBS crew that some Americans would jump at the chance to mimic the tyranny found in Europe if they could, because they ultimately agree with the notion that preserving someone's feelings is more of a priority than freedom of speech. Americans are very fortunate for the constitution, since its protected them from sliding into the quasi-dystopia that emerged across Western and Central Europe. Even France, which died and rebirthed itself over and over again, attempting to set a new foundation for liberalism and democracy each time, can't rise to the level of freedom offered by the constitution.
