Pyramid Of Accountability
We bought a TV ad? Plus, where’s DOGE with all this ‘non-citizen voter’ & ICE waste?
The Ron Show airs weekdays at 8am and 4pm on Georgia NOW
If you’re like many Americans who spend the weekend absorbing football games on Saturday and Sunday, it was awful hard to miss that spray-tanned, purse-lipped face that won’t let us escape his orbit anytime soon. Between his appearing at half the Texas-Tennessee college game Saturday (wreaking havoc on the coaches’ communication equipment) to the Air Force One flyover at halftime (seriously?) to – get this – taxpayer funded TV commercials touting Donald Trump’s perceived accomplishments and aspirations, the man was everywhere.
Which begs the question: why are we allowing our taxpayer dollars to be used to recycle (literally!) Trump campaign ads? For a party that’s beat the drum ginning up fear of fascism and state-run media, the silence from Republicans is deafening on this and the rollout of “Trump TV” from the White House, no?
=+=+=+=
Then there’s the “narrative-to-nothing” trajectory of the Trump administration’s assertion that non-citizen voting is worthy of tens of millions of taxpayer dollars in investigation – and maybe even armed ICE agents at polling places – that’s become much ado about nothing in swing states like Nevada and yes, in Georgia, where they found three. Not three thousand or three hundred; just three. All that after salivating over the prospect of eliminating non-English ballots in the state. They’re telegraphing to us all what their strategy is: it’s just falling flat.
But wait – there’s more (waste): we already knew of ICE/DHS splurging on detention facilities because they over-spent in nearby Social Circle, but a GAO study found taxpayer dollars wasted throughout the country by ICE, and it leaves me wondering “where’s ‘Big Balls’ and his DOGE cronies?”
=+=+=+=
As an aside, how hilarious is it to have Fox News, MAGA and Trump fearmonger us about cOmMuNiSm and sOcIaLiSm while they skip work to go to a White House gala for China’s President?
