Gee I wonder where that money went… This just in: Narcissistic racist oligarch with a breeding fetish likely stole the money for his “legion” fund. Funny how both him and Epstein were obsessed with populating the earth with their progeny. Too bad only one of them is dead.
The man is a thief, but there's nothing to steal here. He's lowering his totally bogus $ amount that he supposedly saved the government based on contract and lease cancellations.
Every single contract (~10) that I know very specific details about that was DOGE-cancelled has a problematic "savings" amount on the doge.gov website. Every one is wrong. That's just the 10 I know about where I have privileged information. There's currently more than 8000 listed. I suspect most of those have similar issues with the reported "savings" amount.
This is straight accounting that they are botching.
Nevermind that the $ savings is bogus even if the accounting was accurate. Because these cancellations are costing the US taxpayer big-time in the long run.
I appreciate your input and I acknowledge I’m being a reactionary jerk off. Thanks for doing what you do.
🤜🤛
There's a place for you both. One can bring the needed anger, the other can bring the details in case we can ever get some fucking justice in this world for these fucking fascist fucks. Myself, I wish a painful death on each of them. (NSA: I'm not going to cause their deaths, just rejoice when they die. They are thieving evil scumbags)
