Politics Thread

[ArizonaXUGrad]

AZ - you continue to beclown yourself on this thread. Benny didn't say it, Lee Zeldin said it. If you opened up the damn link first, and not your mouth, you wouldn't look like an idiot right now.

Posted by Benny Johnson and that doesn't save Lee Zeldin from being just as stupid. Beclown? Come back to me when you understand the federal grant system and it's audit requirements. To say he just "discovered" the money is dishonest or really an outright lie. Federal grants have applications, distributions, and audits of use, I know this because I actually audited these (a great many here in this state). I did it both as a contractor of and as an employee of the state legislature.

If Zeldin or that buffoon Johnson come out and say that audits were somehow illegitimate or fraudulent that is one thing entirely, but they aren't saying that. They are saying it was just discovered like it was nefarious in some way. Easier to score political points with their comment rather than doing actual work to determine whether the funds were correctly disbursed and used by reviewing applicable audit papers.

Number one, Benny Johnson received a lot of money from the Russian funded Tenet Media company. Take what he says with a grain of salt or toss it in the trash where he belongs.

That 20M was funded to hand out clean energy grants recipients in distressed communities being a focus. This is not a slush fund, it was NOT just discovered, it was a fund that was well discussed in Congress and the public back in 2022. Jesus, your post is at best ill informed and worst stupid.

Look, I was actually a government auditor working for a state legislature for a while, then at a private small firm a contract auditor for governmental agencies. I audited the recipients of these type of grants. It might shock you, if you receive federal grant money like this you are required to get an annual audit or have the this revenue stream a focus of an already yearly audit.

XU_Lou stop and get help if you continue to listen to Benny Johnson. The guy is a fool.

So, would you like to dispute anything in the actual post of az, or ? No, yeah I thought so.

Your m.o. is gobbling up whatever you can from one side and believing it 100%. You’re a cults’ dream.

AZ - I can understand how this could so easily go over the head of a dimwitted hilljack from Missouri, but do you realize you just threw an entire occupational profession under the bus?

There are billions and billions of dollars of corruption being exposed every day now. How in the hell did all of you auditors miss these over the last several decades?

Not properly trained?

Maybe many of you are on the take as well?

The constant personal attacks really says a lot about you winning the argument. And making fun of where I’m from? That’s interesting.

The way you consistently twist reality and deny facts is certainly impressive.


Here again I’ll remind and try to help you. Before posting links, digest the other side a bit and use some critical thinking skills before just believing whatever a politician is telling you. It would do you a lot of good, and maybe you’ll learn something.

“It was an insurance policy against Trump winning.”

“Get the money out as fast as possible before they [Trump Administration] come in ... it’s like we’re on the Titanic and we’re throwing gold bars off the edge.”

“Roughly twenty billion of your tax dollars were parked at an outside financial institution by the Biden EPA. This scheme was the first of its kind in EPA history and it was purposefully designed to obligate all of the money in a rush job with reduced oversight,” said Administrator Zeldin.

Two months ago, a video circulated on social media featuring a Biden EPA political appointee talking about “tossing gold bars off the titanic,” intentionally rushing to get billions of tax dollars recklessly out of the agency before Inauguration Day.

yes, we know lou. You posted the video already. None of this is new information and does zero for your argument.

LOL!!! You sure about that? I mean, are you really sure about that?

[XU_Lou]

Dimwitted.... Oh yea, apropos....

[Xville]

Yes Lou. Did you forget you posted a link from your favorite Benny Johnson with the video in which one of your golden calves talks about this? None of what you just posted furthers your argument, it’s just regurgitating your own crap.

You got fooled, yet again because you do zero research outside of your silo, and now you’re just doubling down. It’s embarrassing.
