1. I know, and fawk them all.

[Initech]

9. DOGE was a scam from the world's shittiest grifter.

There's no circle of hell biig enough for Elon Musk, and I'll tell him where he can shove his trillion dollars.

[Dr. T]

30. DOGE. They cuts billions

in spending that was supposed to pay down the national debt. Instead, they padded their personal bank accounts with it. And the mind-numbingly brain dead bastard MAGAt base are okay with that.

[mwmisses4289]

32. The whole point of dogey was to stop the various investigations

into t, eloon and their various allies.

[marble falls]

2. Why? They're getting thier cut.

[MerryBlooms]

3. Way inderselling trump rip-off from tax payers.

That's just the millions and billions we hear about

[Botany]

25. In his first term he had U.S. Military Flights go out of their way and land in Aberdeen, Scotland so the

passengers and crew had to stay @ his golf course’s accommodations and he pocketed
that money. BTW we have a new grifting Trump Trump’s granddaughter, Kai who has
just dropped her own line of KT “Merch.”

Using the White House and the Lincoln Memorial to pimp her crap.

31. I went to the link, and as far as I can tell, her clothing line consists of a single style of a pullover sweat shirt...

...with her initials on it.

It would be fascinating to know how any sales/orders she's had. Methinks someone has a very over-inflated idea of her own importance. The damn things cost $130.00.

[Botany]

33. Having Trump written across your chest will be like naming your son Adolf in Germany after 1945.

Btw she has publicly said that she sees Musk as Uncle Elon now. She knows he cheated.

Btw she is a Trump no doubt her company has been collecting orders for “her merch” but
as of yet hasn’t sent out anything.

[llmart]

35. Her clothing line will probably go the way of Ivanka's clothing line.

It failed miserably.

[RANDYWILDMAN]

4. Republican plan spend like thieves

when in charge

When democrats in charge complain about austerity and fiscally responsible, constantly and loudly and yell it from rooftops daily, hourly and have every MEDIA outlet complain right along with you !!!

When in charge again, spend like thieves run up the deficit, start credit card wars. Rinse and repeat

[wnylib]

14. They have lost ALL credibility forever on fiscal responsibility

and the national deficit.

When they try to whine about it again, we just need to say two words-- Donald Trump.

I do not care that Rs are not saying anything about waste, fraud, and abuse right now. I don't expect them to.

But I do want to hear Dems shouting it from the rooftops now and forever. Pin it on them. Nail them for it, over and over and over so that they NEVER escape the label.

They are the party of waste and fraud on the nation. They abuse power. They are thieves who can never ever be trusted. And they start effin' wars that they can't win, wasting more money and most of all, human lives.

Scum of the earth.

[dave99]

17. Democrats ARE. MEDIA owned by Republicans

[BattleRow]

19. He fux up. MAGA sux up.

[wnylib]

21. Trump is the worst but not the first.

There was Cheney with his energy agenda to benefit himself and crony corporations, followed by the cash cow for Haliburton in Iraq and Afghanustan.

[dave99]

18. and INCREASE taxes on corps, plug EVERY loophole. HIRE 30,000 IRS Auditors

[Punx]

40. Two Santa Claus Strategy

Been going on for a good part of my life.

[RANDYWILDMAN]

41. This

and it works and it sucks all at the same time

[Initech]

5. This would be a legitimate career ender for anyone else.

So why does he get an infinite number of free passes??

[dave99]

16. cause Republicans are in control

[Lovie777]

6. In denial...........

and blame game.................

[Diamond_Dog]

7. I have asked myself this question in regards to many of his failed taxpayer funded policies.

Instead they fire knowledgeable and faithful government employees and slash social safety nets.

[MustLoveBeagles]

8. IOWYAR

[Blue Owl]

10. These stupid motherfuckers don't deserve the responsibility of voting

Letting these goddamned morons set the bar is a serious blow to humanity

[flvegan]

11. Waste, fraud and abuse are three of the pillars of the GOP.

And those are three of the least offensive, cringeworthy pillars.

[erronis]

12. Why aren't the repugs yelling? Their mouths are full. (We all know with what.)

[oldinmtdem92]

13. simple cowards all of the dirty bastards .

[MyOwnPeace]

24. And we MUST remember this:

Yes, Trump is indeed the worst CRIMINAL we’ve ever elected to be our president - and he MUST be tried and convicted for his crimes……
BUT…..
It is the REPUBLICAN HOUSE and SENATE that have given him a ‘Get-Out-of-Jail-Free’ card, starting with the ‘back-in-the-hospital-hope-you-die-soon’ Mitch Fuckin’ Turtle McConnell!
If YOU are a Republican - YOU OWN THIS SHIT SHOW!!!!!!!!!

[dave99]

15. Same shit for Nixon, Reagan, Bush, Shrub

[AllaN01Bear]

29. ding. this.

[Martin Eden]

20. I suspect hypocrisy

Though I don't want to rush to judgement on that.

[Cha]

22. Ugly Fuck.

[Fil1957]

23. They never cared about "waste fraud and abuse" to begin with. That was only branding.

[AllaN01Bear]

26. oh, thats reserved for when democrats are in power.

[surfered]

27. I was working on a similar thread. Plus these..

11 ICE warehouses for $1 billion
$352 million for the ballroom
$80 billion is what the Pentagon is asking
for the Iran War
$300 billion to Iran in reparations

[usonian]

28. EVERY ACCUSATION IS A CONFESSION.

Definition of fraud: That's what people who disagree with me do.
Definition of abuse: Stuff that dems do.


Life's a mirror.

[Ford_Prefect]

34. The GOP can't do constructive math. They can only reduce things to base numbers.

[RandomNumbers]

36. Because that's NEVER what Republicans were ever about.

It was always bullshit cover for finding ways to oppose Democratic policies.

Just like adopting anti-abortion policies and rhetoric was always a tool for other objectives and NEVER about actually protecting life.

[Kablooie]

37. Because Trump still has 80% of Republican voters strongly supporting everything he wants.

If they disagree with Trump they will be voted out of office.
They would rather destroy the future for their kids and their country than disagree with Trump.

[es466]

38. It's NEVER 'waste, fraud and abuse' unless the other side does it

[Beartracks]

39. ... and even when they don't.

So much of what Republicans decry as "waste, fraud and abuse" is just Republicans ideologically lashing out at things they simply don't like that Democrats support.
