Idiocracy again..

[Captain Virgil Hilts]

Indeed.

Let's start with

"the overarching U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) has never passed a full financial audit. It remains the only major federal agency that has not been able to achieve an unmodified (passing) financial audit since the Chief Financial Officers Act of 1990."

I wonder how much of that lost money gets piped straight to Israel and other pockets.

"The Department of Defense has failed all eight of its comprehensive, department-wide financial audits since Congress mandated annual reviews in 2018. It remains the only major federal agency that has never passed a comprehensive audit. " - Military Times

 


The military spending is minuscule in comparison to domestic entitlement spending alone, never mind NGO's and foreign aid, including USAID and the United Nations. Most of the money given to Israel is spent on U.S. produced equipment, as far as it goes, so it at least goes back into the economy, rather than being laundered into politicians pockets and their reelection funds. And Israel is now actually supporting reduction in their aid from the U.S., probably seeing that a large segment of the U.S. government seeks to handicap Israel, and prevent them from defending themselves.

I'd certainly like to see the military spending audited. I'd like to see the money better spent to create a better military, and better supported personnel. But military spending is not the source of the nearing $40 trillion debt we have, which is the biggest threat to the economy.

The files surrounding the cases were sealed under court order during these terms as the investigation was ongoing.

Actually, the court order preventing their release came once AFTER Epstein was convicted the first time, once AFTER Epstein was dead, and once AFTER Maxwell was convicted. Then AGAIN when Trump authorized the release, and was renewed after congress passed the measure calling for their release and Trump signed that. And no one else of any consequences has been indicted. The case was mostly ignored by Obama/Biden, after Epstein was given a sweetheart deal by their DoJ.

So, certain fraud is OK.

As long as the money goes to the right pockets.

When you worry about ALL the fraud, I will take you seriously.

BTW,  Social Security and Medicare pass their audits.

Trumpstein ran on releasing the files.

Legislation was passed and signed by him to release all the files.

All the files have not been released and several instances of improper redacting of donor names have been caught.

Release everything.  Only the names of under-18 should be redacted.  Let the rest of the chips fall where they may. 

I am certain there are names on both sides of the aisle.  Let them be judged.

Even if Trumpstein's friends are hurt.


Maybe his Mossad friends.

You ignored the rest, I see. Figures. The last sentence of that post includes the military spending fraud.

And that's why I don't take YOU seriously.

Social Security and Medicaid/Medicare all FAILED the DOGE audits miserably. But, hey, ignore what you don't like.

[CptTrips]

You ignored the rest, I see.

Yes.

Until you show equal concern for all fraud, nothing else you say matters.

Tell me you don't know or understand ANYTHING about the DoJ without saying it.

Until the DoJ is fully purged, and no republican president has been successful in doing so, you'll NEVER see the entire "Epstein files."

The DoJ remains AT LEAST 80% DEMOCRAT and they ain't releasing those files, they can't stand the damage. They redacted the files, mostly at the FBI. Remember who ran the FBI during the first Trump administration. They were obviously NOT Trump allies.

But, hey, don't let the truth and facts get in the way of your agenda.

[Captain Virgil Hilts]

Yes.

Your hypocrisy knows no bounds.

[CptTrips]

 

Your hypocrisy knows no bounds.

Am I mistaken?

If you are as concerned about the billions of missing money in the DoD, then that is as good place as any to start full Congressional spending review.

[CptTrips]

Trumpstein promised to release all the files.

All the files have not been released and Trumpstein has fought tooth and nail to stop it.

I'm sorry, what? The plea agreement was signed in 2007 and Epstein plead guilty in 2008. Can you tell me who was president in 2007 and 2008?

First deal. You are absolutely correct. In fact, that makes it pretty obvious that the DoJ was turning a blind eye toward Epstein. But who were his known associates? It wasn't Bush, or any significant member of his administration. And do you REALLY think Bush actually purged the DoJ of the Clinton people?

Again, look who was actually in control of the DoJ. It wasn't Bush, or his administration. If you study the DoJ, in detail, you'll see that it is politically compromised, as is the CIA, among other agencies. At least half the time, even the AG is not in control. Do you really believe that Pam Bondi was in control of anything? I seriously doubt Patel even has complete control of the FBI, although he does seem to have some decent influence.

Consider that Epstein obviously continued to operate AFTER that initial deal. During which era?

Blah blah blah.

Trumpstein is POTUS now.

Release the files now.  All of them.  The only redactions should be the names of under-18.  NNOTHING ELSE.  Let the chips fall where they may.  Why would Trumpstein fear that?  Why would you?

Trumpstein is some kind of Superman and he can't order the release of some files?

HE can start a war, but can't get some paperwork released?

MTG already revealed that Trump admitted to her he doesn't want the files released.

To what end?  Simply to satisfy people's lurid curiosity?  If Very Famous People were implicated in criminal activity, there would have been prosecutions already, either under the Biden administration or under Trump's.  I've never figured out why so many people so earnestly believe there's a major scandal that two opposing administrations have covered up.  But we already know that anyone whose name appears in an e-mail or other communication to Epstein has his/her reputation ruined forever, no matter how silly the exchange may have been.

Ask gates how it's going...I don't really think he cares as his enormous wealth smooths out the bumps easily..

They are all rich bored pedophiles imo..

Blackmail of orange man perversions allowed this Iran illegal war..

Don't believe we will ever see all the files as the truth is so sick ...

Diversion after Diversion until its so old no one cares as there's bigger things to worry about by then...

At least we have the Kennedy Center back to normal..

How inflated can ones ego get...it's not healthy for a world leader to be so full of themselves imo..
