Donald Trump has found a new way to make America great again: paying people to become professional snitches. On Tuesday, the president and JD Vance unveiled a $25 million fraud whistleblower fund, under which Americans who provide tips leading to successful prosecutions would receive large financial rewards. Basically, you can rat on your enemies to the government for cash now — and, Trump added, he will be the personal arbiter on whether the fraud is real and how much money you get. Just think of it as a big reality TV show, like when Oprah gives out the cars except it’s that guy at work you once fell out with and you get to send him to jail. |

Yes, but now your the Nazi for trying to stop a genocide, and your neighbors can rat you out for cash if you make anti-semitic comments like "Please stop killing brown people to build a Trump Tower on the Gaza Strip.". |

It will be used for that. But it may also be used to put me in a camp for typng this comment... eventually And if not this proclamation, then the next. We are here. This is fascism. |

“The president always loses, whatever the reason, the midterms,” said Trump. “Great presidents, lousy presidents. Oz,is there a reason you can think of, medically?” Oz laughed weakly at that, and the president continued: “I do say this: When I was on the ticket — when I ran, we won everything. When I don’t run, people don't show up to vote. If I could get my voters to get out to vote… we’d win ...
Good grief, he IS on the fucking ticket! And that's why he's polling so badly. I guess one silver lining for him: at this rate he's going to get the record for the biggliest midterms loss in history. Given how much he likes holding records and having stuff named after him, this is an achievement of sorts. |

They receive insane sums in government support draining resources from real, hardworking Americans. Where? Yes, they’re actually in DC, the White House in fact. … Hello? Hello?? |

I feel like that's probably a huge misrepresentation of something legitimate. Like maybe the found an activities coordinator or recreational therapist or something and asked them what they were doing that day and they answered "well right now I'm unpacking these groceries for a cooking class we're doing tomorrow, and then I'm gonna go get things ready for game night, and I'm gonna be teaching them how to play mahjong" Or maybe they just found the kitchen staff playing mahjong on their lunch break after unpacking a bunch of groceries. |

Don't tell my neighbors. They only hate state approved scapegoat citizens minorities, not True Americans like the non-citizen Israelis. This double speak is getting cumbersome. Can someone ask the ministry of information to tighten up the propaganda? |

Wouldn't that come with the job of caring for the people at a senior center? Like, the ladies at the daycare I went to as a kid had to stock the kitchen and played games with us, seems like kind of the same deal depending on how much help the seniors need. Should they not be compensated for that? |

I know a guy who spent millions of taxpayer dollars running political ads to stoke his own ego. Maybe I can report him and get a payout. |

Two things are all but guaranteed to happen: Narcs will narc on fraud that doesn't really exist. Something, something, false flag fiesta. Naive, well-meaning narcs will narc on real fraud that is actually state-sanctioned and will find themselves on a list (or worse). This signals the fraudsters to get even fraudier. Lots of gaslighting of the narc may follow. Might even throw them into the loo...
Trump will just pocket the money for himself. |

We need a word for people fabricating allegations. Snitch implies they are correct in their allegations. This is not testilying, what is the word for fabricating scandals as such? Maybe we need to make a new word. |

How it happened... Trump: We're not grifting enough. Miller: We're grifting all the grift. Every scheme we know, in parallel. Big Balls: We're not smart enough. AI SI is smarter. It can think of more. Trump: I already asked the Google. Big Balls: We need a fraud-specialized training dataset. Miller: Say we'll pay them to tell us about fraud schemes. Trump: I'm not paying them. Miller: You never...
Don't call Thiel's fucktoys groomed for doge by their own nicknames. Ball boy here the one in question. |
