Democrats were right

[Sangersteve]

Yeah I said it democrats were right, technically.

Otherwise they are dead wrong

They do have a team devoted to searching out waste, fraud, and abuse.

They are called inspectors general.

They unfortunately have a fatal flaw.

They do not have an on switch. Systems do not function in the O F F position.

So these inspectors never saw the waste, fraud, and abuse.

Fortunately for us this flaw was detected by Trump.

He then launched DOGE

DOGE does not have an off switch.

[GFB]

So, what were they right about?

[Sangersteve]

So, what were they right about?

The inspectors general are supposed to find waste, fraud and abuse.

They just don't

[BigTex]

DOGE is looking for receipts. What a concept.

[BigTex]

An oversimplification, but not by a whole lot.

I wonder what Meryl Streep thinks about her principled press now. (Rhetorical - I'm sure she thinks they've been doing the Lord's work)

It was detected long before Trump by the founding fathers. It was built into the Constitution and worked like a charm until it was shitcanned. It was called the "Gold Standard".

How do you explain the Teapot Dome Scandal?

[Mark]

An oversimplification, but not by a whole lot.

Now do swamp creature bank accounts.

The Teapot Dome scandal has historically been regarded as the worst such scandal in the United States[28] – the "high water mark" of cabinet corruption. It is often used as a benchmark for comparison with subsequent scandals. In particular it has been compared to the Watergate scandal, in which a cabinet member, Attorney General John N. Mitchell, went to prison, the second time in American history that a member of the cabinet has been incarcerated.[31] During the first Trump administration, news outlets compared alleged misconduct by members of the Trump cabinet,[32][33][34][35] and specifically by Secretary of the Interior Ryan Zinke,[36][37][38] to the Teapot Dome scandal.

Yes, and that happened a decade before we went off the gold standard. So, you must have just thrown that in there gratuitously. Either that, or you're trying to make a different point, presumably about politicians abuse of the money supply.
