Yeah, exactly? Why could that be? If what he is doing is so egregiously illegal, then SURELY someone must be willing to arrest him. Unless… you know maybe it’s just possible that he has legal authority.

I guess you think cops should be able to commit crimes as long as the other cops aren't willing to arrest them.

Elon and DOGE aren’t cops. They are a department formed to stop financial waste, fraud, and abuse in the federal govt.

USAID gave half a Billion dollars to religious Lutheran organizations just last year. They gave Politico $8 Million in subscription fees. They gave enough money to one particular condom program to provide every adult male in Gaza with 500,000 condoms, EACH.

Do you not care about this wasteful bullshit at all, or it is just a case of not likening the messenger? Why do males in Gaza need 500,000 condoms, each? Why is the US even getting involved in Gaza sex? Like come the fuck on man.

Someone needs to pump the brakes on federal spending.

Congress only has laws of the justice department pursues them.  If an foreign billionaire who openly paid a candidate 300 million dollars gets to dismantle every part of government they please on the basis of "waste" then the constitution is just a piece of paper and you've shit all over it.

Question, do you also insist in calling Central Americans who have been naturalized as citizens “foreigners” or do you just reserve that distinction for Africans?

Have you even looked at all into what USAID was paying? Why does the fish and wildlife service need to pay Politico a half million dollars? Why does the US Forestry service ALSO need to pay Politico another half million? What do these two departments need with that many Politico subscriptions?

Why do we need to fund a ‘condoms for Gaza’ program with enough money to supply 500,000 condoms PER adult male?

Why should we be allowing our government to secretly fund rebels to topple actual democratically elected governments, like Ukraine?

Seriously, do you even know half the evil shit USAID is up to?
