A place to discuss pro-conservative stuff

  1. Be excellent to each other. Civility, No Racism, No Bigotry, No Slurs, No calls to violences, No namecalling, All that good stuff, follow lemm.ee's rules, follow the rules of your instance, etc.

  2. We are a Pro-Conservative forum. Posts must have a clear pro-conservative, or anti left-wing bias. We are interested in promoting conservatism and discussing things that might get ignored elsewhere. All sources are acceptable, however reputable sources with a reputation for factual reporting are preferred.

  3. Dissent is allowed in the comments, but try to be constructive; if you do not agree, then provide a reason which is backed up by references or a reasonable alternative interpretation of the provided facts. That means the left wing is welcome to state their opinions, but please keep it in good faith.

A polite request, not a rule, if you feel the need to report a comment, please don't reply to it.

Massive fraud "red flag”, could also be a matter of data integrity issues. Anyway another example why DOGE is needed.

Who gives a shit about the "smell test"? You are just talking out of your ass, that's the smell. You keep asserting that it needs to be fixed, but there is nothing to support that. If it's not the system of record, then it's irrelevant.

A null record is nothing but a lack of data. The front end systems typically handle that by showing no information or N/A. Elon's clowns were not going through the front end systems. Depending how you query COBOL based systems, which these likely are, an empty record will come back as a 0, which COBOL interprets as the begining of it's date system, which is in 1875.

With that, I'm done talking to you like you are a genuine human making the best interpretation you can. You are a partisan hack with an agenda who will glom on to any interpretation of realty that can be bent to your purposes.

LMAO I'm stealing this. And yeah, redut isn't even from the US (admitted themselves), they are just a populist fanboy.

yep - I am not even a conservative but a libertarian. That's why I am a huge DOGE fanboy. This train just left the station, I hope it will be glorious and we will be able to enjoy a version of DOGE in the EU too.

If you truly think they have our best interest at heart, you're either willfully ignorant or you got swindled.

There's no receipts, it's the equivalent of yanking out server cables before understanding what they were there for. The same thing happened to Twitter.

Correct - it is a leap of faith. Nobody can predict the future. I haven't seen anything from the DOGE team that makes me worry though. It is going exactly as I was hoping for with the urgency that is needed. It is going well and according to Milei's playbook.
