Note the VP said, "you ought to go to jail". I guess he does know about the fraud in the Executive Branch. Otherwise, he would have said, "you will go to jail."

Congress is complicit in the taxpayer fraud, JD. We both know that this shit is never passing, and then the Republicans will blame the Democrats while not refusing the nuke the filibuster (which is a Senate custom, not even a law) to pass it or even fire the Democrat-appointed Parliamentarian (or override the her, which we know as Senate President you can do but have so far chosen not to, meaning that you're in on this sham too) to push it through via reconciliation.

No shit. That's why you're panicking about these midterms. You would rather sink the country than take responsibility and face the consequences for your actions.

Fiscal integrity demands strict audit enforcement, not passive oversight. Stealing taxpayer dollars is a direct breach of public trust that warrants mandatory sentencing. Sovereign audit requires total zero-tolerance: lock up fraudsters before public funds are drained.

I have a hard time understanding why this is required. If youre a fraudster, you are subject to the same laws as other fraudsters (civilian)

Stealing from programs designed for seniors, children, the sick and vulnerable isn’t a victimless crime. If someone is proven in court to have deliberately defrauded Medicare, Medicaid or Social Security, there should be serious consequences and taxpayers should get every possible dollar recovered. But enforcement must apply equally to everyone, regardless of wealth, connections or politics. Protect the vulnerable. Protect taxpayers. Prosecute proven fraud. Accountability should have no political party.

Can we start by setting examples of those in government who continuously do it? Those in power should be held to a higher standard. This was drilled into us in the Marine Corps.

For anyone wanting the specifics: at the Aug. 5 White House event, Stephen Miller called for mandatory minimums, along with state-federal data sharing and more money for investigators. He also claimed data sharing alone could solve 95 percent of the problem. Which of the three do you think matters most?

This is a joke right? 🙄 Donald Trump has pardoned or granted clemency to a significantly higher number of white-collar fraudsters and individuals convicted of financial crimes—and wiped away far more in court-ordered restitution and fines—than recent modern U.S. presidents

The funny part is you are too arrogant to realize trump has set you up to be humiliated. The world sees the hypocrisy with all the fraud he commits daily, his cabinet committed & continue now even more. We all see it dumbass, except for the very dwindling maga group, who are waking up more & more.

Aside from J6, over 70% of Trump's pardons have been to fraudsters, most of which made political donations to Trump either directly or by proxy.
