I have already replied that it's not enough.... and that a proposal to do more has been rejected by the GOP.

Phagocytosis comes to mind...

In other words, you have no meaningful reply....

He said that later when he started to backpedal. Before the election, that's what he said. Sorry not nrc, press conference. https://edition.cnn.com/2024/12/12/economy/grocery-prices-inflation-trump-interview/index.html

A the NRC and during the debate with Harris.

Anybody with half a brain knew that Trump was lying when he said he would bring down the price of food immediately. MAGAs simply don't care about Trump's lies.

And Russia is 1.7%. And its main neighbour is China with 17% of the world's population! 😆

On this matter, your support is eloquent! 🙂

They have a plan which is quite different from Trump's takeover project, which they rejected., How is it a win for Trump? 😆

And, of course, someone just appointed by Trump can be trusted to tell the truth! 🤣

Lol! This contract was made and started by the Trump administration in 2018! Another ridiculous MAGA fake scandal! It's on usaspending.com, just like the other MAGA fake scandals! https://www.usaspending.gov/award/CONT_AWD_FA865018C7886_9700_-NONE-_-NONE- And that's the subject of the contract: ACTIVE SOCIAL ENGINEERING DEFENSE (ASED) LARGE SCALE SOCIAL DECEPTION (LSD) North American Industry Classification System (NAICS)Code 54 : Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services 5417: Scientific Research and Development Services 541715: Research and Development in the Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences (except Nanotechnology and Biotechnology) Product or Service Code(PSC) RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT AC: C – National Defense R&D Services AC62: R&D- DEFENSE SYSTEM: ELECTRONICS/COMMUNICATION EQUIPMENT (APPLIED RESEARCH/EXPLORATORY DEVELOPMENT) What is social engineering Defense? “The Active Social Engineering Defense (ASED) program aims to develop the core technology to enable the capability to automatically identify, disrupt, and investigate social engineering attacks. If successful, the ASED technology will do this by actively detecting attacks, intervening in communications between users and potential attackers, and coordinating investigations into the source of the attacks,” said the U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA). https://www.klzradio.com/2025/02/07/u-s-military-under-scrutiny-over-9-million-payment-to-reuters-news-agency-worthy-news-investigation/

The $1.4B is from mid-2023, I don't know the current count. It's certainly not enough but due to the large number of cases, it's not surprising that it may be slow. The Dems proposed a fraud prevention and recovery act particularly aimed at Covid related fraud. Guess which party opposed it? I would not be surprised if the GOP ends up voting a similar bill one day.

And they have done something.

Dully noted! 🙂

Ah OK, I thought that was the source in the post to which Yellowtail replied when he made the quoted comment. This one https://www.justice.gov/archives/opa/pr/justice-department-announces-results-nationwide-covid-19-fraud-enforcement-action

This not from the article I cited....

Do you have two forum IDs? I was replying to Yelowtail! 🤣 And it's you lying again. It's not in the article I posted! 🙂

Blah blah.

You are polite! 🙂

You are lying again. Your sources don't show that fema subverted funds from disaster relief. You are just using the MAGA lame confusion tactics.

So they did something. You made a baseless assumption. It was mid 2023. Where does this 430$ billion number come from?

That's not true. The only event was the chief of security requiring security clearance to allow access.

Replied already! You are continuously making unsubstantiated assumptions!

Why should I suppose that nothing has been done? 😆 https://www.justice.gov/archives/opa/pr/justice-department-announces-results-nationwide-covid-19-fraud-enforcement-action

Are these Covid programs still active? I doubt it.
