To be clear, I am talking about the approval rating. Yes, the actions are aberrational, but they're cheap pandering to the base so that so far have not materialized much.
They will soon (in next few weeks) become far more material, and you’ll see approvals fall.
And yet if you stop watching the news nothing has really changed at all.
80% of “most consequential president” is just media nonsense.
Stop following the news and suddenly things don’t seem that bad. Because in reality all the media (all media not just the media one disagrees with) does is fuck with your brain and intentionally divide people and piss everyone off.
Has anyone done these kinds of audits ever? Prices are shockingly higher than they have ever been because of the OBVIOUS AND BLATANT CORRUPTION of politicians funneling TRILLIONS of our tax dollars out all sort of various back doors.
Yes, USAID was successfully audited by an independent 3rd party financial auditor literally in November, for example.
And that was using actual GAAP accounting auditing methods!
So I guess if the “like this” you mean an ideological Cmd+F “audit” done by people with apparently zero financial experience, never mind public sector auditing, then no.
Can you share a specific instance of fraud that has been found?
Incredible lack of perspective. It's more than USAID. FBI, CIA, IRS, DOD, EVERYONE is being FULLY audited. This has never happened, ever. If you're not stunned about the corruption being revealed and eliminated by now, I'd suggest you've fully bought the narratives that the USAID media has pumped you. You are a target and a victim.
The US Treasury can't track $4.7 trillion in payments.
Medicare sent $2.7 trillion overseas to people that weren't eligible.
Pentagon lost track $2.5 trillion.
Social Security sends $100 billion a year to people with no identity.
Department of Education spends $50 billion a year to make your kids gay.
USAID spends $50 billion a year to make everybody else gay.
And you think all of that is 'not fraud'? IDGAF what it's called, people should go to prison and no other president has even tried to get in touch with this filth.
I climbed about 250' at highest, working for a WISP about 6-7 years ago.
The first climb, I got about 75 feet up. My body froze to the tower. I watched as I told myself in my mind 'go. Continue climbing.', and my body refused to budge. It was pretty surreal. After a bit of this back and forth I gave up and climbed back down. The boss told me "it's alright, everyone does that."
The next day I went up to the top of that one, 200' up. It's terrifying at times but it gets easier. It never got easy though, and I quit after just a few months. I thought about my wife and kids everytime I went up, and how if I splattered they would be devastated.
Pretty early on I dropped a nice Dewalt cordless drill. I was 150 or 200' up and I thought to myself "is that thing ever going to hit the ground?" I didn't even hear it impact, but could see it explode into a few pieces. Must have been a windy day.
I built a full featured Laravel crud app recently with probably 10 tables, auth, users, ‘beautiful’ tailwind styling, dark/light mode button, 5 different tabs, history function, email functions. 99% ai generated code. I almost didn’t even look at the code, just run some tests and make sure I’ve got functionality and no unexpected ‘normal’ bugs like min/max/0. Took me 15-20 hours with Windsurf. Windsail. Waveshark. Whatever that nice VSCode ai editor skin is called (completely forgettable name btw). It’s completely blowing my mind that this is even possible. There were of course some frustrating moments and back/forth (why did you change the layout of the list? I just wanted a filter…), but overall phenomenal. Deploying it shortly because if it dies, so what, this was a free job for a farm stand anyway. =)
