@ff2024abc@ZacksJerryRig If you voted for him, you did vote for the tariffs. He was saying he’d do sweeping tariffs for like a year before Election Day. And they sounded just as stupid then to people with the wisdom to take him at his word.
@beinlibertarian The people burning teslas are not the same people that lightly chuckled about the right’s inane boycott of a beer brand for acknowledging a trans person. Not everyone that disagrees with you are the same people. This shouldn’t need to be explained.
@mweinbach You guys are going to twist yourselves up defending the indefensible again. Doesn’t it get tiring making excuses for these people? Here’s the CYA Tesla has on their website about autopilot.
@RichardGrenell Tolerance is for those that obey the rule of law. Being intolerant to someone whose administration is engaged in illegal impoundments and corruption at a scale we could hardly have imagined is only natural.
@NILES100 Ain’t no shame in swinging back around on a baddie. Affleck is gonna pull up to Jennifer Garner’s house like MJ in the Remember the Time video.
@dialogizwmetha@ReinhardVAstrea@mpopv@vanillaopinions You have no actual reference for what would be unusual in an audit. Almost no one does when it come to these amounts, but those that have experience doing even a "partial audit" of much lower revenue organizations can tell you the validity of this "audit" is highly suspect.
@dialogizwmetha@ReinhardVAstrea@mpopv@vanillaopinions So, in the end, you really have no reason to doubt all of the people telling you that this "audit" is invalid other than Google results and reports from DOGE, the organization that has stated 50b in savings while only listing 16?
@dialogizwmetha@ReinhardVAstrea@mpopv@vanillaopinions I’m only asking you about your personal experience. You are acting like an expert on audits and their typical processes, not me. Why is it unacceptable to ask why you what informs your opinion outside of the information that is currently in dispute?
@dialogizwmetha@ReinhardVAstrea@mpopv@vanillaopinions I’m not appealing to authority… I asked you about your personal experience. That’s where you’d be drawing this conclusion from right? Since you aren’t in DOGE and have no real insight into their process.
How exhaustive do you think an audit should be to cut thousands of jobs?
@ScottJenningsKY This is a sequel to an old sketch where by answering questions correctly they find out they have a lot in common. The point of the sketch is that you can’t judge a book by its cover - In either direction. You guys are so ready to be offended.
@lfstevens@eyeslasho@JamesSurowiecki It’s a contracted organization and not an official part of the government. I feel like you haven’t been paying any attention but have tons of opinions.
@lfstevens@eyeslasho@JamesSurowiecki It’s his company, if the government didn’t pay them, he would have to. He’s being compensated for his work of spreading lies about our government.
@lfstevens@eyeslasho@JamesSurowiecki Good practice? He's telling you he hasn't checked so he can lie and then say he made a mistake knowing you'll accept it. Would you accept that your lawyer, doctor, or even mechanic didn't check before diagnosing your problem and billing you? He's being paid millions to lie to you
@lfstevens@eyeslasho@JamesSurowiecki I know that before I put a public statement out alleging something, I'd check it. I think that he knew that it wasn't the Gaza Strip but also knew that the headline was too good to pass up. He also knew that people like you would accept any excuse he gave. So why not lie?
