Agree with Tim about the Minnesota fraud. If Democrats are (broadly speaking) the party of government, we have to show that we take fraud seriously.

Relatedly, the DOJ just busted a similar fraud run by... Russians.

Again, all corruption should be investigated. Why’re the Dems being careful about the Somali community? Maybe because Trump’s picked them out as targets. And Trump’s the biggest most corrupt public figure in a minute…so, seems like a special circumstance

Something you didn't mention about DOGE: They got a sickening amount of personal data on nearly every American while they were mucking around in the IRS, Social Security, and Medicare/Medicaid. Peter Thiel is salivating.

Fraud is fraud. It is stealing taxpayers money. I despise the racism as much the fraud. If the fraud benefits a particular ethnic group, take them all to justice under the rule of law.

Tim and Bill, Nice chat around year one of the apocalypse. As I was listening, I was mentally recording the adjectives used to describe the events discussed, ludicrous, grotesque, insulting, farcical, absurd, incompetent, illegal, immoral, inappropriate, racist, grifting, and so many more I couldn't keep up. Like many things in this new alternative reality, we forget were talking about the government of the United States. Our f-ing government. Bill brought up the most salient point, in my humble opinion, that the Republicans in the Senate are complicit in this nightmare. But I would go further, they were the ones with the most blood on their hands. They betrayed their oaths to the Constitution and the American people for their own self-preservation and aggrandizement. Each and every one of them can take their place next to Benedict Arnold, they are traitors and, so far, they have escaped condemnation. This must not be allowed to stand.

Tim, Catherine Deneuve at one time was (rightfully) considered the most beautiful woman in the world. Look up her ads for Chanel No. 5.

Oh. Oh I wish I was consulted for the song. The Pretenders had a hit called “Message of Love” with a big shout out to Bridgette Bardot.

My only comment on the MN fraud case is that there were many prosecutions under the Biden DOJ and by the state. Clearly, it’s ongoing, but it’s not something that was just discovered. They’ve been investigating for almost a decade.

For Donald J Trump to say Russia has been ‘generous’ to Ukraine is so grotesque that now I REALLY believe the only explanation is he is a traitor or completely off his rocker. Donald Trump represents the worst kind of moral subversion that we have seen since Russia invaded Ukraine and then Hamas took advantage of the situation to further divide the West by attacking Israel on Oct 7. What a filthy bastard.

I love Bill at the end digging into Tim for references to Bill's age 🤣

That ones age is subject of too subtle insinuation. . .The real test of age is can one identify Jean-Marie vs. Marine. Nice standing up to the onslaught Bill. This faux youthiness is called out. I understand Miller is fortyish and thus, as Twain said, an unmitigated puppy.

I take their banter as typical teasing among co-worker/friends who enjoy each other's humor. I could be wrong. I know in my family if you are being picked on it is because you are loved. Busting chops is a sign of caring.

Every great cause starts as a movement, becomes a business, and eventually degenerates into a racket."/ Except MAGA was never a great cause.
