Nothing protects freedom like $15 million in ribeye.

    1. Right wing influencers already got their checks from Russia, they aren’t concerned with this.

      I know we’re all mad, but without context I really can’t say whether 140k on donuts is bad, or just how much money it costs to supply as many donuts as are necessary.

    3. I wonder if the ice cream machines are better than the always broken McDonald’s machines? Or maybe $124k is for one machine that doesn’t breakdown

      My fellow Americans. This is one of the many reasons you can’t have healthcare. It’s simply the price of freedom.

    5. It’s funny that these are almost the exact things that right-wingers usually complain about “welfare queens” spending their taxpayer dollars on.

    6. Anyone remember when Republicans freaked out because of Solyndra being a bad investment under Obama’s Green energy investment? That was about $500 million.

      Steak, lobster, and crab were probably pre-deployment meals. I’d never begrudge them that.

      The rest is gross though.

      Wasn’t there a conspiracy theory that people ordering furniture was a cover for a pedo ring ? Isn’t this bill suspiciously a perfect fit for all these conspiracy theory ?

      Journalism is no different than Pravda now.  The NYT has its reporters actually patrolling their comment sections to protect everything Epstein. And their superstar journalist Ezra Klein is now saying “I don’t know what my role is”, his podcast borrowing deeper into “discussions” that are increasingly more abstract and hypothetical, avoiding anything real and direct. 

    10. In the race to the Bottom, secretary Hegseth take a slight lead over former secretary Noem, but Secretary Kennedy has measales spreading rapidly with Treasury Secretary Bennett borrowing money at $50 billion per week. AG Bondi continues her cover up of Trump’s pedophilia. Secretary Wright is slowly gaining ground as he cripples Solar and wind power across the country. Commerce secretary Lutnick insists that the collapsing economy is going Great. Secretary McMahon gets a losing grade, which is her goal. Tulsi Gabbard, Director of National Intelligence, is barely noticeable. 

      Now back to The Pedophile in Charge, Donald Trump and his latest scheme to pocket Billions while ruining the country. 

    11. Love how trumpers like to shit on people on food assistance saying “They’re getting lobster dinners on my dime!!”

      Well…look who’s eating lobster dinners on our dime.

    12. They had to spend all those DOGE savings somewhere, right? Is that why we’re not getting the DOGE dividend checks?

    13. Any presidential candidate who as a part of their platform will require the Department of Defense pass an audit before receiving funding will get my vote. I fully expect that the current Administration will somehow work in a perpetual billion dollar annual maintenance fee to the Trump drone works.

      Doesn’t the military feed the troops an expensive meal before going to war? Was the purchase of ribeye steaks and lobster a signal that they were already planning on starting a war?

    15. Frame of reference is everything. What does the policy say? Who oversees it? What was the policy before this guy? Furniture might be reasonable? I agree they should not be buying lobster, steak and crab. Apple devices? That might be reasonable and within scope of work? Donuts? I’m ok with or other foods like pizza/ sandwiches. Typically you have a budget for food and approved items or places you can order from. Ice cream machines is a little weird, same with piano. Fruit baskets is also strange but maybe a lot of birthdays?

      Basically this whole thing looks like a disingenuous attempt to make the guy look bad. He does not need any help with that he has done plenty of other egregious things which should land him in jail. Republicans will use this smear campaign as justification to support the guy on his terrible stuff and say it’s just the libs looking for any little thing.

      VOTING MATTERED! 90 million people failed to vote allowing Pete to spends hundreds of millions as everyone else get layoffs, worse healthcare, rising gas prices and rising inflation

      EVERYONE WAS WARNED!

      Oh well!

    17. Think they bought American or was this all Argentinian beef? That would be the ultimate middle finger to the public.
