Do you know the most comical aspect of these revelations? Watching these congressmen and senators pretend they were unaware of it happening.

And IF they were…doesn’t that mean they were not doing their constitutional duty to control appropriations and be good stewards of the public coffers?

This is laughable theater. They all…ALL, need to be thrown out.

I wonder if any of the mass media “fact checkers” want to dispute any of these.

Oh wait—their USAID gravy train just stopped funding them.

Lol.

I want to see names of the people who put this crap in the bills to pass. That is the only way to stop this theft.
Then follow the money trail to see how they benefited.
Why else would they spend money this way if not to get a kickback?

Yes, who put the Mars study on the agenda? Who exactly received the money for the study?

This might be why Trump said some of the .gov debt may be fraudulent. If all this spending was useless and fraudulent, and bonds were issued to finance it, then those bonds could be voided; best to start with bonds held by the shadow owners of the Fed. Time for Ron Paul to get his own geek squad on the case.

I do think that Rand has been raising hell about this for years and has often voted against things that he was either the only or one of a few that voted against a measure.

The money is going to the Martians against Mr Musk on Mars committee.
