    Correction - they efficiently lost half a trillion dollars for the USA

    Folks, let me tell you, I just read the most fantastic article about the IRS and the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). And I’ve got to say, it’s a total win-win. Believe me.

    So, this so-called “report” from The Washington Post says that the IRS is expecting a huge loss in tax receipts due to the DOGE disruptions. But let me tell you, folks, that’s just fake news. It’s a total disaster. And I’m not talking about the fact that the report is based on data and trends. No way.

    I mean, think about it. The Department of Government Efficiency is a great name for an organization, by the way. So good. But what they’re doing is amazing. They’re shaking things up, folks. They’re making government more efficient. And that’s exactly what we need.

    Now, I know some of the fake news media outlets are saying, “Oh, the IRS is losing billions in tax receipts.” But let me tell you, folks, that’s just a bunch of losers talking. The real winners here are the American people. We’re going to save so much money by having fewer bureaucrats and less waste in government.

    And let’s be honest, folks. $500 billion is not even a significant loss when you think about it. I mean, what did we spend on our military last year? A tiny fraction of that. So, if the IRS is losing half a trillion dollars, that just means we’re saving the other half. It’s all part of the Trump magic.

    And by the way, folks, have you seen the new White House logo? It’s tremendous. The best. And I think it’s going to be huge for our government’s branding efforts. Just huge.

    So, let’s not focus on the fake news about the IRS and DOGE. Let’s focus on the real winners here: us, the American people. We’re going to come out of this recession in record time, believe me. And it’s all thanks to the Department of Government Efficiency and my amazing leadership.

    He also lost nearly a trillion dollars for Tesla. Tells the Tesla employees to keep their stock, hinting at how great things are and how much better they will be soon, and then the entire c-suite sells off around a hundred million in stock…

    Elmo really is the best of all humans… At evaporating the wealth of others

    I’ve said this for nearly s decade now, Elmo is a lyoni scammer who got lucky, that is all

      “He got lucky” is another way to also say that, as terrible as he is at everything he does, including hiding it, the people who give him literally anything are always clamouring to prove just how stupid they can be by simping for him at every turn.

        That too.

        The guy is (well, was) charming, in his weird ways, and he really does have a quality to somehow convince people of all the lies he’s spouting.

        Beyond that, he also got incredibly lucky

          Was he ever? Really his only thing was being a nerd, and we thought he was at least vaguely cool for the whole fast electric vehicle thing, but it took barely any time for it to come out that actually he’s both bad at being a nerd and a huge liar about how involved he really was with Tesla. He’s been poison for soooo long now, I literally have no idea how anyone falls for it these days.

          It’s not skill, there are just that many people who are that stupid.

      i don’t understand your point. the article reports that the IRS is being disrupted by DOGE, and as a result, IRS agents are not able to do their jobs properly, which results in less tax money being received

          Not sure what you mean. Their job is literally to collect money. If you want to play the revenue concept its till lost revenuer. Would you prefer theft by the rich?

          If you owe me money and I don’t get it then its lost. Or you didn’t pay me so you stole money from me. Please give me another example of how its not lost instead of just saying the words. Give me an explanation or an example.

            I think their argument is that the tax revenue is still owed, whether it’s collected or not. So the IRS could absolutely get back on track post Trump and pursue these unpaid taxes.

    IN A MONTH.

    4 years of months left to go.

    Maybe next time people can get off their fat fucking asses and vote. Or, if you did vote, maybe vote more intelligently next go around.
