DOGE Is Now Investigating How So Many Congressmen Become "Strangely Wealthy"

[dblack]

This could be devastating to Republicans since 17 of the richest 25 members of Congress are Republicans

But they all earned their money honestly. At least those who are strong MAGA supporters did.

 

[Man With A Plan]

Fair point but that’s 2 people out of what… 550?

Again… wealth seems to gravitate towards the GOP

Fair enough...who would you put forth as the GOP counterpart to Pelosi? A Republican who became fabulously rich AFTER becoming a member of Congress?

 

[dblack]

A purge of what, exactly?

Political opposition. Or are you just feigning ignorance for the sake of it?

I only see a purge of corruption and fraud, perhaps you can educate us?

Of course that's all you see!

I think it's a 'limited hangout' and a distraction from what's actually going on...moving us toward an AI-driven technocratic system.

While rooting out corruption, waste and fraud is a great thing (or would be a great thing, if that's what this was really about).... to me it's sad and surreal that so many people are being deceived into thinking that Musk and Trump are actually "taking down the deep state."

We all know we're moving towards and AI driven world, so how exactly is this 'distracting' from that?

You don't think anything going on is what's 'really going on', everything has a hidden agenda, is there anything that isn't a conspiracy?

 

[Lesh]

You inferred something. I simply asked you to clarify your premise. Rick Scott is the wealthiest member of Congress but that's because he made a ton of money before going into politics. I believe Nancy Pelosi is number 2. Her personal fortune has exploded AFTER she got into Congress! Do you see the difference?

I’m not sure Scott was the best person to bring up.

He was CEO of a healthcare company that defrauded Medicare, Medicaid and other federal orgs

They get paid by lobbyists.

Are you finally ready to go for the necks of Washington's lobbyists and the companies and corporations that they represent?

Who's getting paid by lobbyists? Sitting members of Congress?

 

[OldFlame]

Political opposition. Or are you just feigning ignorance for the sake of it?

Of course that's all you see!

And how is it accomplishing that?

 

[dblack]

Ok, you're just playing stupid.

Next.

If all of this is true, why are these people fronted as candidates for office? Then that means there are other problems.

I simply pointed out that he made his money BEFORE he became a member of Congress! So did Dan Goldman. I wouldn't accuse him of what you inferred Scott was guilty of. Did you want to address Nancy Pelosi?

I think you're wrong, Ben. DOGE is investigating the Department of Defense. Did you see that coming?

Anyone paying attention already knows how congress critters get rich. My personal favs are Grassley and the lady hog farmer. But this is sweet.

Rick Scott's connection to massive Medicare fraud scandal resurfaces

Scott, a Republican senator from Florida, challenged President Joe Biden to a debate about Medicare and Social Security on Thursday.

Scott robs tax payers blind over medicare, gets his company fined ..... and ..... D0ge will say6 Medicare is corrupt we need to cut it.

Don't get me wrong. Pelosi's husband most likely used insider trading.

But Musky is corrupt himself. This is about cutting middle class entiltlements and not fraud.

Who said that? I think there are R's and D's equally on the take, they protect each other. If any politician is found to have committed fraud, they should be prosecuted the furthest extent of the law. I'm guessing that the majority if my fellow conservatives in here would agree with me.

Most likely? LOL Come on, Ben...you know as well as I do that Paul Pelosi was being fed insider information by Nancy! They didn't even try to hide it.
Musk is corrupt? How so?

The WEF/Democrats will start ww3, lock Americans down and quickly depopulate them.

If Nuremberg 2.0 doesn't happen, prepare for the worst.

Totes disagree

 

[OldFlame]

Ok, you're just playing stupid.

Next.

So you can't answer any questions, not surprising. You come on here with bullshit platitudes with nothing to back up any of what you say, typical leftie.

Explain to me how getting rid of fraud and waste in Medicare is "cutting it"?

Ok. I take it back. You're not just "playing" stupid.

 

[buttercup]

OldFlame, did you watch the video in post #34, yes or no?

If you did, do you really have no problem with Musk agreeing with and promoting numerous WEF ideas? (And that video didn't cover all of them, that was just a sample.)

They don't try to hide it because it isn't illegal. It was illegal, for a couple of Months. Then they changed the law back where they could invest money in stocks affected by legislation. They could also 'short' those stocks.

LOL...and who was behind that change, Edge? That would be Nancy P.
