The Official President Trump Thread - Second Term Edition

What a disgrace. Millions in restitution to innocent victims wiped away with the flick of a pen. Normal citizens get ****ed while rich and elite steal from the poor.

Nd his cultists will continue to worship him. Sick stuff

States that refuse to open their books on food-stamp spending are about to feel real pressure from Washington. Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins told the Trump cabinet Tuesday that the USDA will cut off federal SNAP funds to any state that keeps hiding its data -- a direct response to what she called a mountain of fraud sitting inside a program used by 42 million Americans.

Rollins said the problem came into full view earlier this year, when the USDA asked every governor to hand over their SNAP data so federal investigators could finally track where the money was going. Only 29 states -- almost all Republican-led -- cooperated. The others, including California, New York, and Minnesota, refused outright. Rollins said that refusal has consequences. Starting next week, she announced, "the money stops moving" until those states comply.

Rollins said the partial dataset already reviewed shows the program is bleeding taxpayer dollars on an astonishing scale. She pointed to 186,000 dead Americans still receiving benefits -- and that's just from the states that turned over their records. She told Newsmax the deeper the USDA digs, the more outrageous the findings become: EBT cards with balances over $10,000, cards untouched for years, and some issued to people who never existed.

 

If you show me evidence of 186k dead Americans getting food stamps like you claim I'll zelle you 100 bucks right now. Open offer to any other MAGAT @El_Conquistador @Tomstro

 

Is Nixon's lead safe? Only time will tell.

 

If it is in cards never used, that isn't fraud and also not actually lost. Heck, I'm part of that group from unused COVID EBT funds.

 

Undocumented migrants dont qualify for any federal benefits

 

Exactly! Which is why it's such a scandal that illegals have been receiving benefits AND voting. These are facts. Thank you President Trump for putting a stop to this invasion. It's shocking to me that illegals would enter the country, break the law in the process, and then proceed to defraud the system. Immigrants from Africa (Somalia), Haiti, El Salvador, and Muslim nations tend to abuse the system the worst.


GOOD DAY

 

The pardon grift is strong this term.

 

Losing a penny on the dollar in restitution is not that big a deal. The fact that the guy doesn't go to prison is a big issue. The fact that they got 15M restitution on 1.6B is another issue. Why are they ordering less than 1% restitution. I just closed a case about a string of auto burglaries about a month ago (as an aside, my supervisor told me he didn't understand my theory of the case and that he wouldn't charge it). Five of seven defendants agreed to pay 100% restitution to every victim (joint and several with each other), even victims they didn't themselves target (but their coconspirators did). One of seven agreed to make one victim whole by herself (the only one she could be directly tied to). One of the seven was just picked up on a warrant and his case is now pending. Agreeing to less than 1% restitution is abominable to me. The prosecutor gave away 99% of the restitution, why get mad at Trump for the last 1%.

Somewhat misleading. One of Biden's pardons was to every member of the Jan 6th committee, every member of their staffs, and every member of the Capitol police who testified. Biden also commuted the sentences of about four thousand people, by far the most combined pardons and commutations. Trump's 2025 pardons are overwhelmingly the people prosecuted for Jan 6th.

 

You are not one to judge weather 1% is enough or not. That's up to the victims and you dont know their situation. You making dumb assumptions on someone else's financial state shows how entitled you are.

Biden didnt sell pardons to the highest bidder nor did biden pardon drug king pins like Trump is. Trump is openly selling pardons on the black market for 2-3 min dollars. Hes pardoning people who help make him billions in crypto scams just to enrich himself.

Trumps pardons of the drug lords and scammers will define his presidency. This is the most corrupt presidency in American history and it's not even close.

 

Not so much shook as unsurprised that yet another totally unqualified person is doing Cabinet-level things that benefit no regular people, but the agribusiness sector loves her.

I know you have no clue who she really is and what she does or what she thinks, because that's just way above your intelligence "pay grade".

 

I am both an attorney and a very accomplished math student. I think I can tell what value 1% has vs. 99%.

Victims are specifically not empowered to determine plea bargains.

I never mentioned anything about anyone's financial state. I spoke about prosecutors giving cases away too cheaply.

That is a lot of stuff that has nothing to do with what I said.

 

Idiots are going to idiot.

 

In this country, we have a practice of naming things after someone has served or died to commemorate their accomplishments. Congress typically has the duty to name federal buildings and there are usually a number of bills each session officially naming post offices, court houses, etc. We typically don't let someone name something after themselves by themselves and I can't remember this happening in modern US history.

 

Absolute disgrace

 

Trump out here still railing about the 2020 election while (checks notes) speaking at the White House Christmas Tree lighting.

The guy is the most vulgar person to ever serve as President.

 

He wasn't the only guy involved in the fraud? The company that he was CEO had some settlements. It really just sucks all around.

 

An absolute embarrassment to the USA

eta:

it's fun that the Trump White House has a "pardon czar", Alice Marie Johnson**, who is a convicted (pardoned by Trump) federal cocaine trafficer/distributor

Doesn't this shitbag's pardon also prevent any civil trials to recoup losses?

**Johnson's was one of the 16,776 petitions filed in the Obama administration's 2014 clemency project.[15] In 2016, she wrote an op-ed for CNN asking for forgiveness and a second chance.[22] Her application was denied just before Obama left office. In 2018, Kim Kardashian and President Donald Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner sought to persuade Trump to grant clemency to Johnson.[15] In late May 2018, Kardashian met with the President in the Oval Office to urge him to pardon Johnson.[23] On June 6, 2018, following Kardashian's appeal, Trump commuted Johnson's sentence,[7] and Johnson was released.[12] The commutation was one of a series of acts of clemency made by Trump in a "few high-profile cases brought to him by associates and allies."[7] Kardashian's then-husband Kanye West was a noted supporter of Trump, something she attributed to be partially responsible for Johnson's release.
