EXCELLENT TALKING POINT

[4bonhoffer]

I heard Randi Rhodes say this. IF YOU ARE TRYING TO CUT WASTE, YOU BRING AN AUDITOR. NOT SOMEONE WHO WRITES CODE !
Hopefully this will become a meme for all our Democratic Reps, on every platform.

4. Excellent Point, but

“They” aren’t trying to cut waste, only create the illusion. They are experts at breaking things, lying about it and hurting people.

Welcome Aboard 4bonhoffer. Great to have you with us.

5. "Musk is a disruptor..."

is much of what you'll get back in return. They don't care about the particulars of the matter - Musk is a rich tech baron, and many people (not just Maga) buy into a sort of tech utopianist view of the world. Rachel was talking about this on Friday.

6. I've seen that on MSNBC and BlueSky. It is a great point! nt

[Nanjeanne]

7. I've been saying this since the beginning. A forensic accountant find fraud and waste.

9. I think it's a great point...

I unfortunately believe we are past the point of needing talking points.

This is not business as usual, and it is not a false alarm.

11. Maybe they should bring back all the Inspector General's they fired.

If they were trying to cut waste, that is. Maybe it's the identifying corruption part of their job that Trump and Musk wanted to get rid of.

12. Or a forensic account or a systems/personal manager

Musk is there to steal data, fire people, get his hands on the money, and replace people
with his AI capabilities from his new super computer in Tennessee.

13. Yep

15. Posted this almost a week ago ...

I'll believe it's an audit when they produce accountants, CPA's & numbers
For now it's just programmers moving from department to department
without providing any proof of corrupt spending.
It's all Ai as far as I'm concerned.
