A place to discuss pro-conservative stuff

  1. Be excellent to each other. Civility, No Racism, No Bigotry, No Slurs, No calls to violences, No namecalling, All that good stuff, follow lemm.ee's rules, follow the rules of your instance, etc.

  2. We are a Pro-Conservative forum. Posts must have a clear pro-conservative, or anti left-wing bias. We are interested in promoting conservatism and discussing things that might get ignored elsewhere. All sources are acceptable, however reputable sources with a reputation for factual reporting are preferred.

  3. Dissent is allowed in the comments, but try to be constructive; if you do not agree, then provide a reason which is backed up by references or a reasonable alternative interpretation of the provided facts. That means the left wing is welcome to state their opinions, but please keep it in good faith.

A polite request, not a rule, if you feel the need to report a comment, please don't reply to it.

So if they aren't signing up for them, then you don't have to be upset about restrictions. Since they don't use them anyway, right? :)

If they’re paying taxes, and they are paying taxes, they are entitled to benefits.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Yeah? So did Biden pay them benefits? Was Harris going to pay them benefits?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Do you have a problem with providing benefits to taxpayers?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Nope. I also don't have a problem with more strict oversight so that waste can be eliminated from that.

So do you think that there is no waste?

Maybe the democrats could just do an audit, release all the numbers and motivations. They actually have more access than Musk does. So it would be really really easy to show how much he's fucking things up.

So why aren't the Democrats just releasing audits and numbers to explain how everything was the way it was supposed to be before Musk fucked everything up?

Good, it's about time they released some figures. So how come the news doesn't report these numbers?

And you don't see annnnyyyy waste in there?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

GAO was founded in 1921 and they’ve released 900 to 1,000 reports every year.

The news actually does cover these concerns when they come up. When GAO finds waste, they report to congress. It is ultimately up to congress to take action.

Cool. Then this won't be a huge issue then.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

What won’t be a huge issue?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

What will be a huge issue?

I recognize the words, but still feel like I'm resting a foreign language, given I cannot drive any meaning from your post. And the combination of arrogance and stupidity on display here is simply not worth the energy of "getting upset". Y'all are simply just not that interesting.

But like I said, if they aren't getting them anyway, then why be upset about this policy. I mean, the policy doesn't change anything at all, right?
