I'm a nobody. So are you. Does that mean that you and I deserve to be slaves?

@Evolion23151 @Sandersd84 @phviking76 @PudgyTrashPanda The President can, in fact, do what he wants with the bag of money given to his departments of the EXECUTIVE BRANCH within the budgetary constraints provided by Congress. There are no constraints that prevent him from doing precisely what he's doing right now.

@Evolion23151 @phviking76 @Sandersd84 @PudgyTrashPanda The President is given a bucket of cash with constraints from Congress. Within those constraints, he can do whatever he damn-well pleases with that money. There are no constraints against what he is doing right now. None. No, the Constitution has nothing to say on it. Stop lying

@Evolion23151 @phviking76 @Sandersd84 @PudgyTrashPanda No, the executive branch does, which is run by the President of the United States. > Is the treasury politically independent and executes every order given by Congress? No, you dumb fsck. Do you not understand the difference between a budget and operating authority?

@Evolion23151 @phviking76 @Sandersd84 @PudgyTrashPanda No. The executive branch determines how the money is spent. Congress provides OVERSIGHT. They do not execute laws. That's the executive branch. The ones that --execute-- the law.

@Evolion23151 @PudgyTrashPanda @phviking76 @Sandersd84 @POTUS Source: "I was told that there are currently over $100B/year of entitlements payments to individuals with no SSN or even a temporary ID number. If accurate, this is extremely suspicious." Cue "REEEEEEEEE!!" about how this is not Politico.
To be clear, what the @DOGE team and @USTreasury have jointly agreed makes sense is the following: - Require that all outgoing government payments have a payment categorization code, which is necessary in order to pass financial audits. This is frequently left blank, making audits almost impossible. - All payments must also include a rationale for the payment in the comment field, which is currently left blank. Importantly, we are not yet applying ANY judgment to this rationale, but simply requiring that SOME attempt be made to explain the payment more than NOTHING! - The DO-NOT-PAY list of entities known to be fraudulent or people who are dead or are probable fronts for terrorist organizations or do not match Congressional appropriations must actually be implemented and not ignored. Also, it can currently take up to a year to get on this list, which is far too long. This list should be updated at least weekly, if not daily. The above super obvious and necessary changes are being implemented by existing, long-time career government employees, not anyone from @DOGE. It is ridiculous that these changes didn’t exist already! Yesterday, I was told that there are currently over $100B/year of entitlements payments to individuals with no SSN or even a temporary ID number. If accurate, this is extremely suspicious. When I asked if anyone at Treasury had a rough guess for what percentage of that number is unequivocal and obvious fraud, the consensus in the room was about half, so $50B/year or $1B/week!! This is utterly insane and must be addressed immediately.

@Whalberto Already done with the neck of a bottle of Cutty Sark. Could not care less who wins. If they both could lose, that would make me happier.

@MagneticNorse I really wish the camera was wider during the nassy salute rant. I'm betting he was 10-15 degrees from a salute himself.
