NEW: As legal challenges to DOGE mount, the White House claims Elon Musk is not technically in charge of the effort and has no decision-making power. That contradicts Trump/Musk's own public portrayal. www.politico.com/news/2025/02... https://bsky.app/profile/kyledcheney.bsky.social/post/3ligbsnnfox2a
I’m reading when the clock broke and my only takeaway about 30% in is that David Duke lost an election and won every subsequent republican primary for the next 35 years
I’ll sign off for the night but I guess you guys missed the point as to why it offended me a little. Fuck Rush forever and always but his addiction wasn’t the problem.
I enjoy that Rush’s last year+ was extremely painful (Bane voice), but also think it’s cool that you’ve thwarted off your addiction as to now. That said, I hope he gurgled on pleural fluid like crazy.
It’s just an incredibly outdated and ineffective way of showing displeasure. The waiter is beating the shit out of their wives and they’re talking about cutting the top down to 10%
Idk why someone bumped Icognito’s scandal this morning on Twitter, maybe this photo? Richie is def a member of MAL in retirement.
Nothing like seeing an idiot that doesn't understand how a data source is used having access to the data source.
Most were dead before their deaths could be electronically verified. They aren’t reporting income or drawing benefits, and are assumed dead, but going back in to fix the input on millions of people would be far more time consuming and expensive than beneficial.
SSA believes the cost to update that database exceeds the value in doing so, as there are other mechanisms in place to stop payments to deceased people This sketchy looking link is an Inspector General audit report from 2023 covering this new issue Elon has discovered: https://acrobat.adobe.com/id/urn:aaid:sc:VA6C2:4421fb81-e2a6-4700-af41-f55fe9a9070c
Not to mention this same IG report found that 98% of those in the SSA database that are listed as over 100 received no benefits. Also, since 2015, SSA has automatically removed people from benefit disbursements when they reach 115 in the database.
Someone posted a video but it's bc they don't understand how to read the code. A blank field reads as 1875 birth year in that code which translates to 150 years old.

The endless shit of nonsense that he's posting that is essentially immediately invalidated is astonishing. It's like he's just being given free reign to query a database, has absolutely zero understanding of how the database is used and what down stream processes happens, then makes wild accusations that are completely false It's basically Cop Shooting 101. Lie endlessly to set the narrative then it's nearly impossible for convince ppl otherwise when the facts come out Fuck this govt
I knew it was something easily disproven. Let’s see if anyone I know that bought it will listen to the easily verified explanations. probably not.
Imagine if they took the next logical step to compare these numbers to either the date of the last payment, or value of last payment, to validate the “fraud”. It’s either they didn’t do that intentionally to spread their narrative, or total incompetence. Probably both.
The IG report was already shared. Here you go about 115 and up being removed automatically since 2015. https://secure.ssa.gov/poms.nsf/lnx/0202602578
Just a simple comparison of the number of people in the SSA database he shared to the number of benefit disbursements made in 2023 would show that the database contains more than 5x the number of people than the number of disbursements paid.
But again correcting it doesn’t matter. All the right now knows in their heart is that there’s massive fraud in SS being committed by relatives of dead people so when it’s cut they’re going to be ok with it. Facts are irrelevant
Imagine knowing anything at all about history and thinking a $2.3 million program in Cambodia some egregious spending line item.
