    Fraud, waste, and abuse

    I got so very sick of seeing those assholes all repeating that line in the first part of 2025. It sounded like they all had an alien parasite that crawled into their heads.

    Especially that grinning idiot of a chipmunk, Kevin Hassett.

    What I find so annoying is that none of these asshats seemed to get put on the spot to have to define just what that even means. It’s like they just rode on the myth of the $600 hammer “government bad” stuff and it was/is all so very stupid…

      Anything that helps the poor: “fraud, waste, and abuse!”

      Anything that transfers wealth from taxpayers to the rich (especially Elon): “NBD, that’s just business”

      Apparently conflict of interest means nothing anymore. Or collusion, embezzlement, or emoluments…

        I sometimes have daydreams of getting to watch people struggling hard enough and have been adversely affected by bullshit artists like Elon and Kevin Hassett being given atomic wedgies and swirlies.

        But just before, they get to look right into the camera and repeat that mantra for everyone. Then the swirlies, etc., start…

        🤣
