What has become abundantly clear since Trump was elected is that the radical, Satanic sexual deviants got hold of our government and sought to loot the treasury to try and spread their poison worldwide as fast as they could. Look at almost every single insane expenditure found by DOGE and it always promotes a sexual deviance and attempts to normalize deviance around the globe. That, IMO, is Satanic.

It’s starting to look like all the new department heads are having a competition to see who can chop the most jobs!

Yeah, baby!! Go, go, go!

That list of execrable spending is about $4 million in cuts. Is that junk the worst of the worst? What’re are the other $128 million in cuts?

“… Forest and Gender Consultant …”

.

It is imperative that we know a tree’s gender accurately.
Blue chainsaw, or pink? or purple. It matters ya know… misgendering trees…

Whatever…

If you want to tame a forest into a brazilian you might want a cosmetologist rather than a gender consultant.

——sought to loot the treasury——

Sought to? They did in fact actually loot the treasury.

They must be held accountable with their very lives.

Sexual deviance has become part of our national identity. Embassies were flying the rainbow flag back in the 0bama days.

Even upon reaching 2 trillion in cuts, that only balances it this year. 28 trillion is still lurking out there. Even if they can cut an additional 1 trillion beyond a balanced budget, it will take 28 years to get it paid. Wow.

Yeah, good point. It really did start in earnest with Obama, why himself likely is bisexual

You must consider the age old way kings always resolve their debts.

They devalue their currency. Presently, inflation is at work making the $$’s owed less valuable than those borrowed. The devaluation necessary all across the world will very effectively resolve the debt issues in far less than 28 years

Can you imagine the staggering amount of money being skimmed from these programs, quietly siphoned through complex networks and funneling straight into Democrat politicians' pockets?

Something massive is about to happen in D.C.—something the political elite never saw coming. They believed their schemes were untouchable, buried under layers of bureaucracy and endless transactions. Even if someone managed to audit these agencies, the Democrats were confident that their scams were too deeply embedded, too well-disguised, for anyone to trace the money back to them.

They never accounted for Trump, Musk, and DOGE armed with Grok3.

Musk and DOGE are deploying Grok3 to plunge into the vast ocean of government data, using its advanced AI to rapidly detect fraud, waste, and corruption. What was once buried in financial black holes can now be exposed in seconds, stripping away the bureaucratic smokescreen and revealing exactly where the money has gone—and who’s behind it.

The leftist scams are in every Department—no matter how small.

Every penny must be audited—no matter how long it takes.
