Rep Tim Burchett says he’s willing to lose his job to tell us the REAL REASON government officials are opposing Elon Musk and DOGE

“They’re gonna push back because you’ve got Congressmen on both sides of the aisle. If they follow that paper trail, it's going to come back to them. You've got their wife and or girlfriend that works for some agency, quasi-agency or some business. This towns as crooked as a dogs leg”

“I’ll get primaried for saying that but that’s the truth and we all know it”

“Somebody’s gonna straight it out, it looks like it’s gonna be Elon Musk”

I’m waiting for an SNL skit where armed gangsters meet nervously in a back alley in what looks like a drug deal, but it turns out they’re selling eggs.

Good for Tim. Providing an example would be useful too.

You certainly have something there. The “F” word is in just about every movie now for quite some time. And it is not occasional, it’s practically in every scene for some flicks.

There are many reasons why movies from the 30’s through the 90’s are so watchable. The lack of extreme foul language is one of them.

And there are those that simply do no think taking the Lord’s name in vein is cussing.

No surprise. Criminal activity that has taken place for decades and the sheer size of it demanded a lot of participation for it to continue. Prosecutions, incarcerations, and ill gotten asset seizure are the only remedies. Hope DOJ is up to the job.

I kinda think most Americans, rat or Republican, have known this for years. Until now government corruption has pretty much been an accepted norm. It has been accepted because there’s nothing the average person can do about it. Now we have DJT in charge, and the cockroaches are running like mad to find cover.

Burchett is a different breed. In the interest of full disclosure he’s my congressman. There are very few politicians he has any respect for and the few he does respect have earned it. As our County Mayor (County Executive) he would drop into the morning talk show on his way to the office to reveal government waste in the budget. His first day he turned down the county owned vehicle and reserved parking spot and never changed his mind. Lots of other stories. He’s really one of the good guys with a wicked sense of humor.

It’s more than insider trading. Musk, in his own words:

Imagine the kind of people who would be attracted to the wealth, power--and opportunities!--concentrated in a place like Washington!

Such people have been around as long as the human race, but only in recent decades have they found it possible to mine the enormous treasure of the USA--that is, to mine it with such unbridled rapaciousness! They're not about to abandon their mining operations without a fight.

Beware their supporters! They are useful idiots. They are stupid. Their stupidity is dangerous.

“As good as the DOGE team is, they’ll never find it all.”

Right. We’ll need to settle for 97%.

So WUT? Jail every criminal. Political party is not relevant. Mebbe if the place is cleaned up we will get some who apply for the job who are not scum.

Criminals learn only from punishment. Not taking away $$. Taking away life’s time.

The Clinton gang were the smart criminals.

The current clowns are too stupid to hide their tracks very well.
