So they spent lots of money and the optics were the opposite of what they intended. We needed DOGE back then.

the best people to ask about how well electric vehicles perform is anyone who used one to escape a hurricane or a wildfire.

No concern about the billions that went for EV charging stations that resulted in almost no new charging stations. Wonder when anyone will got to jail or be sued into oblivion for that obvious fraud. Should be easy to follow the money.

Maybe the soon to be laid off IRS workers can become new auditors under DOGE?

But would you trust them?

Charlotte to Memphis is about 650 miles. Easily done in a day. Unless you’re in an EV. Then it’s easily a couple of days. And why would anyone go to Memphis on purpose?

Further, we found four travel vouchers for which government-issued travel cards were not used for expenses, as required.

Emergency lap-dances?................

“Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm and her staff of clowns”

That pretty much describes Biden’s whole DEI administration like the one stealing women’s luggage and then wearing it and the Navy Admiral who doesn’t seem to know what sex
he/she/it is.

Makes me wonder why they paused in Augusta GA. Not exactly on a Google maps itinerary.

I85 SOUTH to ATL, 20 W to Tuscaloosa, then I22 to Memphis makes more sense. 635 miles, 10 hours in an ICE vehicle.

They probably used their own credit cards. Government credit cards take a while to be issued and become effective. Very likely, these people had not received their government cards in time for the trip, or had not known they had to apply for them.

Not an uncommon problem. I went through the transition to the “government credit card required”. Sounded good on paper for the government. In reality, more paperwork burden, more wasted time for the employees.

Most of the kinks were eventually worked out.

A lot of Truth there. In a Tesla ya just plan your route and the car receives ‘available’ fast charging stations all along the route.

When I was working I would deliberately rent Teslas from Hertz because of their low cost per day, AND despite the haters here they were fun and quiet to drive. Charging was easy and pretty fast, with no stops longer than about 20 min.

I think what it means is they used government issued credit cards for personal expenses not related to travel...........booze, cigs, condoms, etc............ 😉

Pretty clear to me. They did not use government credit cards for expenses.

They used something else for expenses.

If they had committed fraud, it would be a headline.

Concept: FRESH Water quenches thirst

Democrat: “Let’s ban fresh water and mandate that citizens drink salt water instead”

Republican: “Its been tried before and found to kill people”

Democrat: “no, it wasn’t tried correctly before! All one needs to do is sip it instead of gulping the water down- that way they won’t get sick and die”

Republican : “why the pressing need to stop drinking fresh water anyways”

Democrat: “The climate man, the climate! Sheesh, do we have to explain everything?”
