    Has Musk won contracts like this before and what does this have to do with cutting federal waste?

    So someone in charge of the spending of Federal institutions that award contracts to the person in charge you don't see a conflict of interest?

    If someone got a job as loan officer at the bank and then gave himself and his family millions of dollars in loans but also prevented anyone from checking to see if there was legitimate collateral, would that not be a conflict of interest?

    I just asked if he had been awarded these types of loans before? I bet he has been awarded contracts like this long before DOGE.

    I really dont care because even if he hasn't he's still saving the country tons of money even if he's being awarded contracts.

    So you may not care about conflicts of interest and corruption but many others do. You're entitled to not care about that.

    Wow ! This is the worst comeback attempt I’ve ever read.

    Your momma obviously didn’t teach you to be witty.
    Too busy with @jo mama i guess…

    How does one save money when they replace no profit entities like the DOzd with private entities that require a return on investment for those capital holders?

    Tell me how the federal government is going to save money converting government programs and agencies that don't have a profit motive with private entities that have CEOs with 20 million dollar compensations?


    What is the salary of the highest ranking general in America?

    What is Eric Prince's net worth? We are going to have military commanders with stock options. Have fun.

    its so bad i dont even have a response. im now no longer sure that english is his first language. terrible sentence construction..

    he said "I threw the runny eggs in her face ala James Cagney’s style" - this implies that james cagney had a certain style of throwing eggs in womens faces instead of what i assume he meant to say which is that the eggs were james cagney style.

    he also said "I also told your mom if she speaks to you, I told her to tell you that I said hi and get the hell off the D&D because you suck."

    he should have said "I also told your mom that if she speaks to you to tell you that I said hi and get the hell off the D&D because you suck."

    Your mom called me again damn it. I let it go straight to voicemail and now she’s having a meltdown. Lol

    I’m not even sure if you know who James Cagney is? Maybe English is not your first language?

    They're going to do away with a lot of agencies. The Department of Education and return education to the states .

    They will do away with USAiD and turn the non fraud part of it over to the State Department

    Etc... this really isn't hard to figure out or accomplish.

    You still havnt posted a single fraudulent transaction. Not one. Waste is not the same as fraud. I know right wingers aren't the most educated but Jesus.

    There's no corruption if he was going to receive this money regardless of whether he was heading up DOGE or not.

    Even if there's corruption at least he's paying for it many times over by saving money.
