Representative Maxwell Frost told the crowd. “What’s going to stop him from stealing taxpayer money?”

YEAH! Because that’s your job, right? STFU!

To quote the inestimable Chuck U Schumer: “We will win! We will win! We will win!”

And you dumblecrats can suck it.

Members of Congress, including Maxine Waters, Al Green, Ayanna Pressley, and senators Chuck Schumer, Jeff Merkley and Richard Blumenthal, joined in the condemnations against Musk’s ‘hostile takeover’ of Treasury’s suspect federal payment systems.

Crackpot Crockett sounded off: “We are not going to sit around while you go and desecrate our constitution. We are going to be in your face and on your a**es!”

Some of these belligerent Dems tried to force their way into the bldg Trump closed down.

What did you think "drain the swamp" meant?

Vibes, papers, essays?

So in other words the Democrats plan on reverting back to their tried and true response to not getting their way.

The entire world is seeing the “Democrat” response to adversity and it’s nothing more than a TODDLER TEMPER TANTRUM with full blown crying, screaming and stomping their feet!!

DOGE has access to information the left doesn’t want anyone to know about is the issue. Getting caught is their worst nightmare.

““He has access to all our information, our social security numbers, the federal payment system,” Representative Maxwell Frost told the crowd.”

So do the Chinese.

““What’s going to stop him from stealing taxpayer money?””

Worried he’s going to horn in on your business?

Yes, they have already stolen trillions. Every single person protesting at the Treasury should have been arrested. We HAVE to have treason trials.

“What’s going to stop him from stealing taxpayer money?”

This is a new one for Democrats in government when it comes to stealing money, but the answer might be: He doesn’t want to go to jail.

Also, I doubt he needs much money, nor does his incredible team. Musk has enough to pay everyone involved in his DC work to never need a job again, nor their kids ever needing jobs, nor their grand-kids, nor their great grand-kids, etc...

And that’s the problem - the Democrats cannot imagine anyone with that much access to money not wanting to steal some or all of it...that’s just beyond what they can envision.

Hundreds? Looks like closing USAID has already cut into the “rent-a-mob” funding.😂

Personally I was going to protest the cutting of funding for Irish DEI musical, but then realized i had to pay my property taxes, oh and mop the floor😎

Musk has the power to do exactly nothing. What he IS doing is shining light on what was previously an intentionally kept secret, namely, how the government wastes our money.

The piggies in the ruling class don’t like it much.

I suspect the taxpayers are more than thrilled that the lights have been switched on.

Oh yes but it’s nothing new around here is it ? Freepers are like “what’s the fuss?”

The media attention IS though. Finally some are doing their job.

This ‘story’ should have been told a long time ago!

The protests targeted reports of the “department of government efficiency” (Doge) team’s reported access to sensitive government financial data, including information related to social security payments, Medicare reimbursements, and tax refunds – systems that process trillions of dollars in annual transactions.

IOW, Musk now has access to all OUR (DS) records which contained "sensitive government financial data, including information related to social security payments, Medicare reimbursements, and tax refunds".

You all just had it all conveniently in one place and thought nobody could ever find it out.
