This is the first time I've felt like breaking down. But that means letting them win.Look... I don't know who you are. Unless you're Bill Kristol, I don't know why you hate me so. I gave up a lucrative career to do this. It was never for money.
Why am I doing this? I know numbers. I see that my children have no future unless we tame spending. And as we are finding out, taming spending, also means taming the corruption in the government.
The numbers don't lie. Look at them, logically. Look at how much of our economy is sustained on deficit government spending. Look at the exponential rise in interest rate payments. We are not far from where we have to borrow to pay off the interest. And from there, it's only disaster.
I survived 20% layoffs. Most of the private sector has. Layoffs are healthy. There is no way, shape, or manner that what DOGE is doing comes anywhere near to "cruelty."
You are trying to kill my husband when all I want to do was give my children a future.
Why?
Just why?
Please repent and come to Jesus. Literally.

I haven’t changed my tagline in years.
That’s because it’s true.

Well, it IS true!
“How many of you guys will go out in public right now and wear the red MAGA hat?”
Did it today. My wife and Mr Browning accompanied me to a lovely brunch.

I would wear a red MAGA hat in public - but I wouldn’t put a Trump/Vance sticker on my car.
I like my car’s paint job the way it is.
In the General/Chat forum, on a thread titled DOGE | DataRepublican: "You are trying to kill my husband when all I want to do was give my children a future. Why? , pghbjugop wrote: Honest question here. We hear about all the fraud waste and abuse everyday, but 95% of Americans do not.
ransomnote: That was true when Twitter was censored by the government, but now that Musk set X.com comparativelyfree, and people like Joe Rogan (x.com, podcasts, youtube videos) and Musk have massive followings, far more people get the truth.
Therefore, the media is still free to write the narrative to control the next election.
ransomnote: The media was shocked to discover it has lost some of its power when Trump won. Hollyweird gave it their all, yet Trump won. The MSM will still write the narrative but from fewer outlets with less staff, as the legacy media is shrinking and continues to lose its audience (cough* Rachel Maddow *cough).
Elections turn on the economy. No one cares about waste in Africa if their own financial position is fine and viceversa if voters are economically distressed they still don’t care about waste in Africa if the media does not sell the narrative that their position is directly related to the corruption of the federal government.
ransomnote: "Waste in Africa" is actually money denied those in North Carolina living in destruction following the hurrican, or those burned out in LA or Hawaii. People denied help in need don't like hearing that billions were sent to Africa to support transgender issues. It's going to be very obvious when the DOGE process is done - it won't be some obscure 'Africa' issue.
In addition, congress just passed to spend every penny again on waste and corruption that DOGE has found from last year.
ransomnote: Not sure which bill you're refering to here. The government will be so transformed and realigned with truly American issues that the lamentations of today will seem strange then. Trump can cut and revise until the government is the right size, spending money on the right issues, and that will indeed be a shock.
The president has to spend the money since congress controls the purse strings, so what’s the end game here?
ransomnote: It sounds like you're refering to the recent CR. NOrmally such spending bills specify what the money could be spent on. But this bill omitted specific expenditures so the president is not confined to spending the money on issues/programs he does't want. That's why the big tantrums on the left.
Elon has no authority to cut any money or fire anyone and without a media outlet there blasting away at all the findings it’s value is worthless.It gets the people who care all worked up but for no effect.
ransomnote:The public approves of the cuts Elon is making and the media 'blasting away' calls attention to this graft - further reducing the likelyhood that people won't hear about 'cuts in Africa.' The President is doing a great job of telling the public and DOGE has a portal showing the public what's going on. Elon and DOGE are reporting their finds to X.Com and various interviewers are talking about it on their own programs. Recall the White House threw AP out and gave front row seats to small media outlets. Those small outlets are gaining strength. It will take time, but the message is continuing to seep out to the public.
If Trump really cut a trillion in spending that would crash the economy temporarily and by the time it recovered, the republicans will be back in the minority, Trump will gone and the dems will go back to status quo.
ransomnote: So much more is going on outside your doom post. 'Small things' like closing the Department of Ed and sending education back to the states will impact anyone with children. The changes in DC are growing in size and scope, Trump is lining up to take on the courts etc. From the time the left started persecuting him, more of the public tuned in and they haven't gone away. It won't be smooth sailing, but this is radically different from Biden.
Trump didn’t even push a budget that included his own tax cuts which will never pass during an election year next year.
ransomnote: Trump will be able to talk about the wild improvements across his government, saving hundreds of billions and he has talked about 'no taxes under $150,000 etc - I just am not going to count him out. He doesn't signal his whole plan ahead of time as enemies would attack it before its born. Things are going very well.
In general, your post sounds like it's still 2022. Take heart, EVERYTHING is changing and will look different from here on out.
nope
do not want my truck keyed
demoNcrats are extremely unstable people
Well said, ransomnote.
Thank you.
Trying to REASON with these bastards? They are *STEALING* the money! They don't care about anything but getting that money, and *YOU* are interfering with them getting more of that free money!
Of course they hate you! Of course they want you dead! You are causing problems for these thieves and parasites getting their hands on all that corruption money.
You can't reason with them. The only fact that they understand is that they want that money, and how *DARE* you stop them from getting it!?
Civil War ping. More government corruption and special interest corruption which is what *CAUSED* the Civil War.
Still going on today, isn't it?
If they could call on the army to invade and subjugate DataRepublican, they would do so.
Nope, not my style. JimRob genuinely does not approve of keyword b0mbing.
Ahhh...I did not know that was a thing. Glad it wasn’t you.
There is a punk-a&& little faggot Keyword Stalker that doesn't have the courage to come out in the open.
You little faggot. Come out, you cowardly little bitch-a&& punk.
Face us like a man would. Oh, but you won't, because you hide behind the keyword system.
Sidebar, can you identify the person who defaced this thread with the keyword 'moonbat'? I'd really like to know.
