Federal programs: What the Trump administration has done to fight fraud | CNN Politics
“The Trump administration is doubling down on its fraud-fighting crusade as it seeks to show Americans that it is an attentive steward of taxpayer funds ahead of November’s midterm election.
Vice President JD Vance highlighted his anti-fraud task force’s efforts in Maine on Thursday, just a day after he and other top officials unveiled multiple measures aimed at combatting fraud in Medicare and Medicaid. Maine’s Senate race, where GOP Sen. Susan Collins is running for a sixth term, is expected to be among the most competitive contests this year.
“What is so different about our approach in this administration is that we’re not just sending money out the door and then trying to find the fraudsters afterwards,” Vance said Thursday. “We’re actually making the money conditional on state governments fighting fraud to begin with.”
If this is not the FRAUD OF THE CENTURY, I don’t know what is!
While our illustrious whatever you what to call him continues to ravish the globe with his illusions of grandeur and schemes that LINE HIS POCKETS WITH MORE AMERICAN LUCRE, his Hillbilly Huckster of a VP calls for transparency in Medicare and Medicade — the very programs that support those PEOPLE WHO VOTED THIS TRAVESTY INTO OFFICE. Not to mention the rest of us.

“Erielle Reshef questioned Boyle on Trump’s ballroom project and how Democrats are demanding affordability amid increasing gas prices.
To Reshef’s question, “What are the plans from Democrats when it comes to easing the pain of Americans out there? Can you outline exactly what your party plans to do?”, the congressman said, “Well, let’s be clear about a few things. First and foremost, there is no way in h — — I’m voting for $1B of taxpayer money to go to a stupid, unnecessary ballroom that it is nothing but a vanity project for Donald Trump. That’s number one.”
“Number two, on top of all the other challenges that we discussed with gas prices, let’s not forget that later this year, because of the bill that was passed by Republicans last summer, about 15 million Americans are going to begin to lose their health care.” MSN
Bad enough that Republicans consider our hard-earned tax dollars paid into these programs “entitlements.” Bad enough, too, that the whatever you want to call him continues his OPENLY ARROGANT THEFT OF AMERICAN TAX DOLLARS for his own gain! Trump yet again promotes his personal business on taxpayers’ dime
Worse still that his chosen cronies have or are falling out of favor like a bad game of dominos because they are perpetuating the very thing their Supreme Leader espouses.
Gaetz, Chavez, Patel, Hegseth, Bondi, Noem and others who continued to perpetuate the FRAUD THAT IS DONALD TRUMP. Still — the biggest loser here is YOU — the unfortunate AMERICAN who voted in this mess! New research on Trump voters: They’re not the sharpest tools in the box — Salon.com
“Conservatives now inhabit their own self-created media echo chamber, which functions as a type of lie-filled and toxic closed episteme and sealed-off universe. The creation of such an alternate reality is an important attribute of fascism, in which truth itself must be destroyed and replaced with fantasies and fictions in support of the leader and his movement.”

“Our survey found that many of these 21 million people with insurrectionist sentiments have the capacity for violent mobilization. At least 7 million of them already own a gun, and at least 3 million have served in the U.S. military and so have lethal skills. Of those 21 million, 6 million said they supported right-wing militias and extremist groups, and 1 million said they are themselves or personally know a member of such a group, including the Oath Keepers and Proud Boys.
Only a small percentage of people who hold extremist views ever actually commit acts of violence, but our findings reveal how many Americans hold views that could turn them toward insurrection.”
If this is the America y’all aspire to, you can keep it!
