  • President Trump accuses Senator Adam Schiff of mortgage fraud

  • So the assumption would be that he listed both properties as a primary address to get a lower interest rate on the loan. (As clearly he couldn't lie about the value, being that the bank giving him the loan would own the property essentially). I mean it should be pretty easy to clear up if he didn't do it. And since Trump made the comments publicly, I can't imagine it to be hard for a court to consider it defamation. If he did do it, then welp he's dumb for doing so.

  • Ah so that should be pretty accurate then, because the amount of users spoofing their OS is likely fairly low, and I would assume would mostly be Linux users as well, meaning it wouldn't sell the data as being higher than it is, but rather possibly lower.

  • Wasn't there a whole thing about the lawmakers not being allowed to sleep in their office in D.C. anymore which made it so less wealthy politicians would struggle to be able to afford to rent a place in D.C. until they started having money actually roll in. It would make sense that the politicians either rent or own a place near D.C. if they have to work there and can't stay in their offices. If the property was owned in say Florida, Tennessee, Texas, Alaska, or some other state that doesn't have income taxes and was claiming that as his primary residence I could understand why it could be cause for alarm, but nope. The place he lives and represents... And the place he works from to represent them.

  • A lot of it kicks back to companies as well. If every time someone interviews for a new job they are telling users they need to run their programs or even just the application for the interview from a Windows machine it pressures users into going back. I always see shit like that for stuff that is even just browser based. I prefer not to install zoom, teams, and such and just open in the browser, but ive run into companies saying their typing tests and other pre employment material only run on Windows. It's usually false, as I never actually have needed it to install Windows, but it sows doubt in people who don't want to take chances when they are already in a potentially tight spot.

  • Pam Bondi's key Epstein prison video claim blows up

    Jump

  • I was joking, but the fact that it's questionably real that they are VHS tapes instead of digitally saved recordings is telling about or prison systems. Note, this is also a high end prison for the rich, haha

  • Pam Bondi's key Epstein prison video claim blows up

    Jump

  • They physically remove the VHS tapes in order, and place another tape back in and hit the record button manually. Then write the dates on the box with a sharpie and put them in the rack to save for backups. The tapes only hold 8 hours so they have to swap them 3 times a day, which ends up losing about a minute a piece.

  • Republican leading inquiry into Biden’s autopen use has digitally signed letters

    Jump

  • It's just a digital signature from what I am understanding. The same thing accepted by the federal governments executive branch for every IRS tax form I've submitted since 2006 when I started working.

    If they believe a digital signature doesn't count, the executive branch should return all taxes paid with digital signatures immediately and ask we resubmit them come April when taxes are do again.

    Edit: oh, also near all student loans are signed digitally, so they need to void those all as well.

  • I think I get what you mean. You're saying that lying to people saying you are going to help them, them assuming it is true, and then you not doing so doesn't include the part that it is supposed to hurt others if I understand correctly, right?

    So this is just a standard lie of not helping people who thought their community would be safer with this pedophile ring exposed and off the streets.

  • Charlie Kirk says he is "done talking" about Jeffrey Epstein for the moment

  • I mean I hope/wish it was a joke

    “Matt Gaetz would be the best,” former Trump strategist Steve Bannon said on stage with conservative activist Charlie Kirk at this weekend’s Turning Point USA summit.

    “Matt Gaetz would be a no brainer, right?” Kirk added to rapturous applause by the crowd.

  • Charlie Kirk says he is "done talking" about Jeffrey Epstein for the moment

    Jump

  • Charlie Kirk and Steve Bannon are pitching a special prosecutor to look into the Epstein stuff.. who do they support to do it? Matt Gaetz. You know, the guy who also traffics underage women for sex. Why would you want something like that one would ask? Child rapists investigating child rapists? Simple... If Gaetz doesn't manipulate the investigation in a manner that goes the way Trump wants it too, the DOJ can charge and convict him of trafficking and having sex with an underage girl for money, because they never formally charged him previously.... It's not much of a reach to say it was just blackmail they were putting aside to ensure his full cooperation after swearing him in Attorney General. (Thankfully he wasn't)

  • Donald Trump wants FEMA "remade," not eradicated—DHS Secretary

    Jump

  • The goal was to shift the majority of all costs to the States and reduce flood insurance coming from the federal government. Remove near all grants to get rid of disaster readiness. How do we know this, it was ALL written in Project 2025.

    "These opportunities include privatizing TSA screening and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) National Flood Insurance Program, reforming FEMA emergency spending to shift the majority of preparedness and response costs to states and localities instead of the federal government, eliminating most of DHS’s grant pro- grams, and removing all unions in the department for national security purposes."

    "Replacement of the Entire Homeland Security Advisory Committee. The Secretary should plan to quickly remove all current members of the Homeland Security Advisory Committee and replace them as quickly as is feasible."

    "Under the Stafford Act, FEMA has the authority to adjust the per capita indi- cator for damages, which creates a threshold under which states and localities are not eligible for public assistance. FEMA should raise the threshold because the per capita indicator has not kept pace with inflation, and this over time has effectively lowered the threshold for public assistance and caused FEMA’s resources to be stretched perilously thin. Alternatively, applying a deductible could accomplish a similar outcome while also incentivizing states to take a more proactive role in their own preparedness and response capabilities. In addition, Congress should change the cost-share arrangement so that the federal government covers 25 per- cent of the costs for small disasters with the cost share reaching a maximum of 75 percent for truly catastrophic disasters."

    "FEMA is also responsible for the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP), nearly all of which is issued by the federal government. Washington provides insurance at prices lower than the actuarially fair rate, thereby subsidizing flood insurance. Then, when flood costs exceed NFIP’s revenue, FEMA seeks taxpay- er-funded bailouts. Current NFIP debt is $20.5 billion, and in 2017, Congress canceled $16 billion in debt when FEMA reached its borrowing authority limit. These subsidies and bailouts only encourage more development in flood zones, increasing the potential losses to both NFIP and the taxpayer. The NFIP should be wound down and replaced with private insurance starting with the least risky areas currently identified by the program."

    ^^^Note, in November 2017 this $16 billion in debt was bailed out with a Republican Majority in the Senate, the House, and President was Donald Trump. Bill: H.R. 2874

    So they used their own acts as the reason why the government was "misusing" funds for federal relief to try to highly shift all recovery efforts to the states.

    What does this mean effectively?

    The plans for the current administration not only blame Texas's flooding recovery misfortunes on Texas's misuse of federal funds that the Republicans "should not have incentivized them to do.". Then when disaster struck they didn't answer 2/3rds of the calls, and spent 3 days waiting to deploy relief because their new policy on $100,000+ efforts must all be signed off on prior by DHS (Kristi Noem), yet she effectively didn't pick up the phone when the emergency occured, nor used any tools/resources to act prior to the event to ensure resources would be available in a scenario of such likeness.

  • There are currently 4 vacancies in Congress, half a point a piece per vacancy means 216 to pass, granted it may have been 217 at the time, may have only been 3 out. Hence why they had 217 votes.

    Edit: It may have been 3 at the time, either way 216.5 votes
