And if you think Trump's against fraudsters, just start looking at his pardons so far.

My intention of using the word "suppose", was the "b" portion of the definition, not the "a" portion:

More like evaluating the probability, not assuming.

Interjecting some doubt.

Here's "assume":

The #4 definition of "assume" was not my intention because I wanted to interject doubt.

Stephen Miller: Based on what we have found so far, we believe that the Somali fraud operation in Minnesota is the single greatest theft of taxpayer dollars through welfare fraud in American history.

You have to read Walz’s gobbledygook answers about this humiliation about the Democrat machine in Minnesota. Something about ‘Minnesota is a generous state’. This is a guy the Democrsts wanted us to vote for for Vice President.

What I think we "won't find" is the Dem politicians who were complicit in the fraud. Don't try to tell me some set of Dems didn't flat out encourage the fraud, and maybe got kickbacks. No, I won't be able to say who it was or give any details, because we 'won't find that' because the facts will be swept under the rug

Democracy should die:


Democracy contains the root word "da", meaning "to divide".

The same root as Demon.

Demons divide similarly as do Democrats.


We never had Democracy and never will.

We are a country of the opposite ["to unite", e.g. United States or become whole or become sane].

Specifically, a Constitutional Republic.


The Dems want to change [divide] our govt, because they think they're entitled to wages they don't earn [redistribution of wealth].

In short, they're generally lazy and/or not intelligent enough to earn their keep.


Newsom is trying to invoke the brainwashing of college educated individuals and MSM viewers.


And he would do good in European countries because most have dictatorships or Democracies.

But their economies will dwindle to practically nothing like other Communist countries.


----------------

NEWSOM: “If we don’t democratize our economy and allow for the distribution of wealth, our democracy will die.”

----------------


He's trying to get something for nothing [aka mooch].

The Judicial Branch judges and the majority of attorneys belonging to a secret society are corrupt:


Most things like this flow like a pendulum and a corrupt swing in is place.

It should swing towards the opposite side soon.


So I have hope.

Bessent linked rising beef prices to northward-moving screwworm outbreaks in livestock transported by migrants.

So. Let me get this straight: Migrants are walking their infected cattle Northwards up to the wall and are clambering over with them on their backs?
Or maybe they are flying in with them stored in the hold of the plane and then overstaying their visas.
Or maybe they bring them northwards for fun and abandon them to their fate at the wall?

"again, something we inherited.”

So, the cattle migrants are Biden's fault?

Or maybe Venezuelans are sneaking these infected cattle in on fishing boats.
Does Bessant think you are so stupid as not to question these assertions? No..... Not question..... repeat and parrot them.
