Do you Trust this man with your private information?

The world’s richest man may now have access to the confidential personal information of every taxpayer in the United States.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent on Friday granted Elon Musk and his minions at the faux-agency DOGE full access to the Treasury’s massive federal payment system.

It’s not at all clear what he plans to do with this unprecedented access. But I figure because he is working for a very spiteful and greedy man it won’t be anything good. Cheers!

    How do you think those white people in S. Africa got "their" land?  They stole it from the Africans!  Pretty much the same way as the white people in the US stole land from the Native Americans and forced them onto reservations. This post was edited by Spunky at April 4, 2025 1:21 PM MDT

    I don't know the exact history there. 
    But whatever it was does not justify murdering anyone. Regardless of race, creed, color, or religion. Which happening now.

    Pendulums have a habit of swinging. During apartheid, black men who spoke out "disappeared", many were found on the pavement outside tall government buildings afterward having "fallen". Black women and girls were kidnapped and raped by white police.
    At least in modern South Africa, although lawless, it's not the POLICE who are brutalizing whites. They're just overwhelmed by a wave of justifiably angry Africans exacting revenge. The anger is justifiable, the revenge isn't but that's the pendulum effect.

    Not the same.   Terrorists do not deserve protection.  They deserve at minimum prison.

    HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! I'm sorry, a MAGA bleating about due process is HILARIOUS!
    Tell that to the gay hairdresser, a US citizen, who was sent to the El Salvador concentration camp.

    Okay, a would-be US citizen, in the country legally, who committed no crime and was absolutely denied due process before his application for naturalization could even be assessed. Three US citizens DID end up there.
    Your MAGA terrorists, who took part in a VIOLENT attack on the Capitol, were white. They were arrested for common assaults and more than a few had warrants out, like the nonce who made incest porn with his under-age daughters. Unlike several dark skinned people, legal residents, who may have been involved in PEACEFUL protests (Romero wasn't involved in anything) and deported. The ICE agents involved should be fired, they're actually required to refuse illegal orders and didn't. This is Anne Frank level stuff.

    The whole world could be called a "would be citizen." 
    If you are in the country without permission....that is in itself a crime.  That is why they are referred to legally as an "illegal alien."
    What are the names of these supposed American citizens who were deported? 

    I have zero problems with sending anyone who behaves wrongly to prison...and the guy who made porn with his kids deserves the death penalty.   (I do not want to pay for him to live and do not want some stupid judge or POTUS letting him out later because he is a "non violent offender.")

    For Jan 6th BS.  He is NOT off the hook for his pervert actions. And will be punished as long as he does not get a liberal judge to sympathize with him.

    Links?  The only thing I find on Guerrero is the actress from Orange is the New Black parents being deported when she was 14. 

    The girl with the tumor (not cancer) was removed by choice with her parents who were illegals. She and her siblings could have stayed but the parents chose to keep them all together.  (I would have made the same choice) Parents were deported and chose to take their children.

    How about the 15000 children that are thought to have been killed in Gaza? Did they not deserve protection because of how their parents (or grandparents) voted in 2006?

    Tell that to Hamas terrorists who use them as human shields. And the UN who hires HAMAS as workers.

    Well, if you don't know the history there, perhaps it's time that you informed yourself of the history of this country.  We aren't the saviors of the world we would like people to think we are.  Try reading a book called Bury My Heart At Wounded Knee" and you'll get a very small idea of what a bunch of horrible people took over this country.
