Ok

One MAGA lies and one Russian lie in the same post! 🙂

He signed the 15% minimum tax agreement. Trump pulled out! https://www.reuters.com/world/us/trump-declares-oecd-tax-deal-has-no-force-or-effect-us-2025-01-21/

It seems Musk gets a taste of his own medicine! 🤣 https://www.nbcnews.com/tech/tech-news/musk-pushes-debunked-dominion-voting-conspiracy-theory-campaign-appear-rcna175985

And don't let truth get in the way of a good MAGA fake story! 😆 It was in 2022 and they were not machines tabulating ballots! "Benson noted that the voting machine was originally from Wexford County and clarified that it was not used to tabulate ballots. (The Dominion-made apparatuses are built to function as voting machines or ballot printing devices. In Michigan, they were used to print voter ballots.)" https://www.npr.org/2022/09/08/1121682138/a-hacker-bought-a-voting-machine-on-ebay-michigan-officials-are-now-investigatin

Did Illisdean give you his propaganda job on the forum? 🤣

In other wo4ds, you have nothing! 🙂

And, obviously, some people can easily be tricked by him! 😆

That's the title of the article you linked: 🙂 Are 150-year-old Americans receiving Social Security checks, as Elon Musk said? The explanation for apparent 150-year-olds receiving checks could relate to arcane coding practices, experts said https://www.poynter.org/fact-checking/2025/social-security-fraud-discovered-doge/

Says Musk! 😆

Lol! Even Russian outlets criticising Putin are forbidden in Russia! 🤣

Phony only in the MAGA alternate universe, 😆

With Trump 'at the wheel', &krainians have all reasons to be scared! It will be open bar for Russia! 😆

If you had read the article, you would know that the reason evoked is that the team hired by the Kraken lawyer breached into an election office after the election, stole a copy of the software, and put it on a server. https://apnews.com/article/2022-midterm-elections-technology-donald-trump-voting-92c0ace71d7bee6151dd33938688371e Warning: I don't support this conspiracy theory, but it's not dumber than the MAGA conspiracy theory about the 2020 election! 😆

GAG! DOGE targets agencies not flagged for fraud by the GAO, raising conflict of interest concerns https://discrepancyreport.com/doge-targets-agencies-not-flagged-for-fraud-by-the-gao-raising-conflict-of-interest-concerns/ The GAO’s 2024 report, “PAYMENT INTEGRITY: Significant Improvements Are Needed to Address Improper Payments and Fraud,” does not mention USAID, the CFPB, the Department of Education, or the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)—all of which have been primary targets of DOGE.

It's not new. It's been reported in MSM in April last year! Ex https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2024/04/16/government-fraud-gao/

A non-MAGA conspiracy theory. How refreshing!

Do you really believe what you write, or are you just on propaganda mode?

Come on, not wnd again!

It was not an helicopter but a jet flying over Turkish territory despite being warned 10 times. It was unfortunate but there had been several airspace violation by Russia previously. It was obvious that Putin would not have started a war for that.

And, of course, you have proof of it!

This new administration is chaotic! 🙂

That's obvious! There are more Dem recipients than Republican recipients, but there are still recipients. The problem for Republican politicians is that they are not evenly geographically distributed. They tend to be concentrated in some red rural areas which are playing a key role in the U.S. electoral system. The GOP politicians they elected, in particular, are not eager to shoot themselves in the foot! 🙂

Apparently, improper SSA payment are nothing new, and the rate is not higher than in Insurance companies. One reason for this long-lasting phenomenon is that Congress (whatever the majority party was) never allocated money to improve the computer system (which makes sense if they are still using Cobol). So the problem is known and remedies are also known. No reason for another clown show à la Musk! "Between fiscal years 2015 and 2022, which includes Trump’s first presidency, the Social Security Administration sent almost $71.8 billion in improper payments, according to a July 2024 agency inspector general report. The inspector general’s office called improper payments "a longstanding challenge." A November 2021 inspector general’s report found $298 million in payments after death to some 24,000 beneficiaries. (About $84 million was returned, the report said.) The Social Security Advisory Board, a group of outside experts, has regularly issued bipartisan recommendations to improve the agency’s accuracy record for payments, such as shifting death data collection to the Treasury Department." https://www.politifact.com/article/2025/feb/17/are-150-year-old-americans-receiving-social-securi/ A quite influent seem to be the budget rules, which are not inciting to solve this problem. 'To secure that first dollar to invest in technical fixes, the agency needs to lobby Congress, which is never easy and which could result in offsetting cuts to other parts of the agency. Then, if the agency does get that dollar and ends up saving $10 in payments, those proceeds would remain in the Social Security Trust Fund, which doesn’t help Congress’ own fiscal balance sheet, nor the agency’s own administrative budget."

Repeat after your master: fraud fraud! 😆
