New AG urging for Adams case to be "dismissed"?

You didn't answer. Why won't they NOW? Why were they given orders by the NEW AG office to dismiss?

It's NOT "lawfare". Another lame excuse and spin.
There was no case. It was lawfare. Trump said during the campaign it was a dumb charge and it always was. Research it. He was being attacked because he asked the government to stop blowing up the NYC budget by forcing them to fund illegal migrants.

Here's a brief synopsis of alleged crimes and/or criminal activity of the Biden crime family. You will not find one post criticizing any of this from anyone on the Left...not one.

Here is what the Biden crime family has been up to since 2014

The final corruption of Joe Biden

Door may be open to impeaching Biden for misdeeds committed prior to presidency: legal experts

US House Republicans say Biden committed impeachable offenses


Impeachment report lays out President Biden's alleged offenses


In report, House Republicans claim Biden committed impeachable offenses, but next steps unclear


FBI informant who lied about Biden family Ukraine bribery scheme takes plea deal for false records and tax evasion, faces up to 35 years in federal prison

EXCLUSIVE: Audit Reveals ‘Improper Payments’ From Feds Ballooned To Over Half A Trillion Dollars Under Biden


It's all right there (for anyone who wants to read it) and I purposely used primarily legacy media web sights and news reports which tended to either ignore or at least be "indifferent" to holding creepy Joe accountable for all of these criminal allegations. Nor will you find I might add, any other apologists or excuse makers on the Left critical about any of this, certainly not as much as they complained or commented on erroneous or even fabricated allegations involving Trump! :rolleyes:

Case closed.


Gee, I read some of that stuff, and I don't remember a thing about any of it!
iu

I believe you creepy Joe, I'd even suggest you probably don't remember anything from the past 4 years! :rolleyes:

Damn... 'ya know what atl???? That's probably a pretty good guess!
iu

No no creepy Joe...that's a fact!

Aww......are you crying again? Don't go running off like you did on the Blue Lot.
 
That's not calling for an investigation. All you are saying is you are ok with investigations into Biden and Trump if they do them.

Not once have you demanded accountability from the Biden crime family. Petty partisanism is never a good look.
'Ya know you had me laughing so hard the other day when you said that particular poster was "so full of sh*t, his skin was brown"...not only was that side splittingly funny, it was spot on too pinning the sh*t on that guy who's about as honest as someone who lays a stink bomb fart in Church, then tries to pretend they don't know where it came from? :rolleyes:

You called him on his two faced phoniness, and I've posted a veritable encyclopedia ITT of alleged Biden criminal activity which he and the rest of the indifferent Left have had zero, zippo, zilch, nada ...to say about any of it other than supposedly not being "opposed" to any of it being investigated. 😏

Well as of today, very little of it has been, and he's equally "OK" with that little factoid too!

What do Leftists say when they're caught by their own lies and deceit? Read this board. They call names, deflect & besmirch but they never admit to their dishonesty...never! They just pretend not to be embarrassed after they're left stripped naked and exposed as two faced frauds. 😏

Read this thread as a matter of fact to see how one mind numbed Leftist tried to pretend to be as equally "outraged" over creepy Joe Biden's alleged crimes as Trump's alleged malfeasance.

In his criminal case, Adams was accused of accepting illegal campaign donations, as well as flight upgrades and other travel benefits, from a Turkish official and other foreign nationals who were attempting to influence his decision-making. Multiple members of his administration have been investigated and charged in the probe. One of Adams' former City Hall aides agreed to plead guilty to charges stemming from the investigation last week.

In January, federal prosecutors hinted that additional charges might be coming against the mayor, saying in a court filing that investigators have "continued to identify additional individuals involved in Adams' conduct, and to uncover additional criminal conduct by Adams." Court records showed that the grand jury in the case heard from new witnesses as recently as December.
 
Just pointing out how you treat the race of people you feel superior too.
There is only one poster on this board who's ever questioned my race, and that poster is the same one who's been virtually silent criticizing the entire crime riddled career of creepy Joe Biden & his corrupt crime family, up to and including the "big guy's" last minute blanket pardons for each and every one of his cohorts in the family criminal enterprise!

I appreciate the lack of attention from my supporters over all that graft & corruption too atl let me tell 'ya!

You are indifferent to whether they investigate the Biden crime syndicate.
Being indifferent to investigations, by definition, is not wanting to hold corrupt officials accountable. Like I said, you never advocated for holding Biden accountable.
I have not read one post with a factual rebuttal to this. Not one. 😏

Wonder why not?

"Who said I wasn't against collecting data? Have at it. I've stayed steady on all this from day 1. If the government wants to investigate Trump, Biden, Hunter, Fauci........have at it. But we both know that whatever the findings, neither side will accept it."
 
If Elon Musk wants to investigate fraud & abuse in the Department of Education, HAVE AT IT!

You won't see many on the unrepentant Left as willing to support that investigation...at least not as vociferously as they're currently supporting creepy Joe Biden be investigated for his fraud & abuse! :rolleyes:

They're not going to like what I find once I get into the books of the DOE, but it'll probably be enough to shut it all down once and for all!

Great! Do it! I've even posted that as well. Just don't start crying and running off like you did on the Blue Lot when all this comes back to bite you in the a$$.
 
As Bannon said (as much as I don't like him, he understands it), when you start impacting the lives of Americans negatively with your policies or procedures, you lose votes from those people AND their extended families. Just like how the Democrats pushed the pronouns, transgender, open borders, etc etc. It destroyed their chances. If Trump thinks that turning Elon loose will do him good, then he better hope he's backing the right horse in this race. I just hope that you or your family are not impacted from all this negatively, just the same as I hope mine isn't.
 
One thing I'm happiest about in my Life is I don't need government for anything! Never have, never will. Don't need it for my food, housing, medical care, to educate my children, insure my Life, or even pay for my retirement. I have all of that handled quite well without any help from government and I've done quite well for myself & my family in spite of it!

All I need from government is to leave me alone. If they shut it all down tomorrow, my life would go on unencumbered and free from all of the trouble it (big government) otherwise causes me.

Fact.

Exactly! Trump got elected specifically to "disrupt the lives" of government bureaucrats making the rest of our taxpaying lives so miserable! :mad:
 
Can anyone reading this thread think of anything in their own lives that wouldn't get done unless some government bureaucrat did it for them? Or put another way, what is it you need government to do first for you that you first can't do for yourself?

I'd suspect that answer for most folks is zero . (unless you're like @moe or some other teet sucking Leftist depending on government confiscating someone else's money and then giving it to you through some program or handout.) :rolleyes:

You really embarrassed yourself this time Sally. I am so sorry that you are butthurt that they are looking into wasteful spending but the reality is, most Americans do not benefit from this fraud. That is why the majority of Americans support DOGE and Donald J Trump tackling this issue. The only people opposing it are those who are guilty of fraud and those who are left wing idealogues.

This is what MountaineerWV doesn’t get.
Waste, fraud and abuse of taxpayer funds is wrong, no matter who it benefits. Medicaid has its share of waste and fraud but Medicaid affects a large number of Americans. All Bannon was saying was that caution must be taken to avoid draconian cuts in Medicaid which could hurt many citizens, particularly now that Obamacare has shifted so many to Medicaid. When Bannon refers to MAGA people he means the forgotten middle class. There are too many on Medicaid. The goal is to revive the economy and job market for the people so they can get off Medicaid.

Bullshit. That’s not what he meant. He doesn’t mix words. He said exactly what he said and meant it.

I’ve stayed out of this moronic thread, but I read it the same way as phillya. You can’t just go into Medicaid as you can the DEI stuff. The DEI you can summarily end because it provides no intrinsic value. Medicaid actually provides value.

Now, one can fully argue there are people that are on it that shouldn’t be, and I agree. But it’s not something you can just wreck and try to repair after the fact. That will impact a lot of people who voted for Trump. You’re going to have to be more deliberate about it.

What you’re pissed off about is that Bannon is acknowledging these people matter and it’s not the GOP of old who’d just demonize the poor as lazy. It really wrecks a narrative you’ve established as gospel politically speaking. You’re still not acknowledging what many of us have, and that’s Trump is taking the commoners approach to governing while the GOP and DEM party had largely abandoned the middle class. MAGA is actually doing great things right now and it’s hitting core needs many of us on different sides actually have in common. You just can’t bring yourself to admit you were wrong and get on board. You’re still trying to play stupid gotcha games as opposed to acknowledging you’d been played by those you out your trust in. I abandoned the GOPe awhile ago and the liberal left of Obama sold out their base very early on for Marxist ideology.

You need to open your mind up some. There is a reason why that 60% middle has rallied together. This DOGE initiative is cutting away the festering rot of DC and establishment politics. How you can’t see it, or acknowledge it being a good thing is crazy to me, unless you were benefitting directly from it. And even then, if you were, you were part of the problem and a parasite on the backs of the millions of people you said you were for. No sane person can be against what DOGE is doing right now.

Right. And by you admitting this, you are admitting that he doesn't care about "waste", he cares about upsetting people who are exploiting the system to KEEP THEIR VOTE. That's how/what he said, not what I'm saying.
 
Well stated in post #73. The following is what hacks most taxpayers off and why DOGE is so hated by the Left

Elon Musk’s DOGE Team Uncovers Millions of Social Security Records Listing Americans Over 200 Years Old

excerpt
Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has uncovered significant irregularities in the U.S. Social Security database, revealing more than 25 million individuals registered as being over 100 years old, with some claimants listed as older than the United States Constitution itself.
Late Sunday night, Musk shared a post on X displaying a table of ages from the Social Security database, exposing a staggering anomaly in how the federal government maintains its records.

“According to the Social Security database, these are the numbers of people in each age bucket with the death field set to FALSE. Maybe Twilight is real, and there are a lot of vampires collecting Social Security,” Musk quipped.

it's so bad, the Social Security administrator has abruptly RESIGNED, rather than cooperate with DOGE auditors!

Top Social Security Official Leaves After Musk Team Seeks Data Access

These are the headlines that are sending Leftists into mental spasms. :mad:

That’s just not the case. If there are fraudulent cases, those should be handled appropriately. Obama and Biden significantly lowered the bar altering what is considered eligible. You don’t just change and alter that without an appropriate path and plan to address it. You can still audit Medicaid. Bannon clearly said you don’t take a meat axe to it. Agreed. Medicaid is different than DEI. DEI provides no value and those are things you can take a meat axe to.

What you want is not happening, and what you want is there to be negative publicity. I’m sorry that the administration is being more methodical than you want. You can run your mouth and say whatever you want. You’re pushing water up a hill. You’re not even making a dent. You’re in the extreme minority of people opposed to what DOGE is doing. You’re using straw men arguments that are so transparent it’s beyond laughable. Looking at the thread, literally no one is biting on your argument. You just look foolish.

Dude, you are so far up his a$$ that you don't get it. I'm not arguing anything. I'm simply putting out there what Bannon has said........openly. That cuts are needed, but DOGE better be careful when it comes to Medicaid due to the fact that many MAGA voters rely on it, and don't want to piss off those voters. Again, that's HIS WORDS, not mine......that's HIS ARGUMENT, not mine.

Correct, but you’re trying to make it somehow a controversial thing.

Medicaid needs reformed: Fact. We all agree. But it needs to be done methodically so as to not hurt people. Fact. Many on Medicaid are Trump supporters. Fact.

There is nothing controversial about these facts, but you’re trying to make it that. I’m sorry these guys are doing things the right way and you’re not getting your narrative.

And again, the rest of the cuts being recommended and executed provide no value whereas Medicaid does. You have to do it differently.
