Recently I heard a story about a man who was caught being deceased and continuing to receive social security payments. Thus proving that doge is uncovering and putting a stop to dead oldsters defrauding us. Way to go, doge!
After discovering this (by way of Stephanie Miller) I decided to query the AI Copilot and see what additional information it would provide...
Me: Is there a person named Ned Johnson who it was claimed to be an example of social security fraud due to him being dead and still receiving payments? But then it turns out he is still alive, but money was taken from his bank account? Is he going to get his money back?
Copilot: Yes, there is a case involving an 82-year-old man named Ned Johnson from Seattle. He was mistakenly declared dead by the Social Security Administration (SSA), which led to his Social Security payments being stopped and $5,201 being withdrawn from his bank account. This error also caused his Medicare to be canceled.
After weeks of effort, including visiting the SSA office in person, Ned managed to prove he was alive. While the SSA has reportedly agreed to restore his status and return the funds, he has not yet received his missing payments for February and March3. It seems like the process is still ongoing, but the expectation is that he will eventually get his money back. Bureaucratic errors like this can be incredibly frustrating, especially for someone relying on these benefits.
Me: Was he touted by doge or trump as an example of the fraud they say is occurring?
Copilot: Yes, Ned Johnson's case was highlighted by the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), led by Elon Musk under the Trump administration, as part of their efforts to expose Social Security fraud. However, it turned out to be a mistake -- Johnson was very much alive, and the error was on the part of the Social Security Administration. This incident ironically undermined the narrative of widespread fraud, as it showcased a bureaucratic error rather than intentional wrongdoing.
The Social Security Administration (SSA) mistakenly declared Ned Johnson dead due to an error in their records. While the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) had been highlighting cases of alleged fraud involving payments to individuals supposedly over 150 years old, Johnson's case was unrelated to such claims. Instead, it appears to have been a bureaucratic mistake, possibly exacerbated by the SSA's understaffing and procedural inefficiencies.
Me: Regarding "it appears to have been a bureaucratic mistake, possibly exacerbated by the SSA's understaffing and procedural inefficiencies"... I'd say it looks like they caused the error via all the firings. It's somewhat like a self fulling prophecy.
Copilot: That's a sharp observation. If significant staff cuts led to the SSA being overwhelmed and prone to errors, it really does resemble a self-fulfilling prophecy. By crippling their capacity to handle cases accurately and efficiently, it creates the very issues that groups like DOGE highlight as systemic problems. The cycle perpetuates itself.
It is now official. The republican party is now the American Nazi Party. As shown in the genuine, not photoshop or AI image above. Elon Musk did recently perform the Sieg Heil salute to show respect for his Nazi leader, Herr d0n0ld der Führer.
With the "election" of the Orange Turd, the future of civilization was assured? I think the destruction of civilization may have been assured, given that one of the first thing king d0n0ld did was to withdraw the US from the Paris Agreement. Again.
Musk defended his actions, saying that pointing out the obvious amounts to "dirty tricks". He also remarked that the "accusations of him being Hitler are sooo tired". I'm not aware that anyone called Elon "Hitler". People only point out the fact that he gave the Nazi salute.
He isn't Hitler. d0n0ld is Hitler. Musk is Goebbels. That seems right, given that he bought Twitter and transformed it into a cesspool of misinformation. Goebbels was Hitler's propagandist. Musk serves the same role to his Führer, d0n0ld.
Though I have no doubt that, in his mind, Musk was trolling. On Quora, Kevin F wrote, "whether Musk is a sincere Nazi is, in my view, besides the point. He can make offensive gestures all he likes because it's entertaining to him, and no one who matters is gonna do anything about it".
As per Wikipedia, the term Edgelord is "frequently associated with the forum site 4chan [and that] The renegade rhetoric of the edgelord is often intentionally employed by the far-right to troll leftist targets". Keven F says Elon is an "edgelord". "I can make the nazi saloot for tha lulz, cuz it triggers da libz". That's Elon's mindset, as per Kevin's Quora post.
I say Elon's troll was a Freudian slip, which is "an unintentional error regarded as revealing subconscious feelings". The Nazis were a White Supremacist cult and Hitler was a messianic figure who would save Germany. d0n0ld's cult members see him the same way. Only d0n0ld can fix it. That's what he claimed.
Hitler targeted Jews, Slavs, and Romani people. d0n0ld targets Mexicans, Muslims and people from "sh|thole countries". Also Chinese men. If you fall into one of those categories and aren't a US citizen, you could be deported. You could be deported even if you are a US citizen. Ask Tom Homan. If parents of US citizens who are themselves not US citizens, then the parents can "choose" to take their children with them when they are removed from the country.
The Orange Turd Emperor issued a royal decree (aka an "executive order") titled "Protecting the Value and Meaning of American Citizenship" which "states that children born in the U.S. must have at least one parent who is a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident to be granted citizenship". This is a "reinterpretation of the 14th Amendment".
I queried Copilot, asking if this is a power the president has, and the reply was "The President does not have the power to unilaterally reinterpret the Constitution". This will probably go to the corrupt supreme court. And then the corrupt supreme court could say that the form that d0n0ld twisted and shaped the Constitution into pleases them as well. The rightturds on the court, at least.
The chatbot that Elon paid to be developed known as Grok supposedly has a sense of humor. Grok is "a maximum truth-seeking AI". The first AI image above was created using Grok, which means that it represents "maximum truth".

Republiturds will say there is no way d0n0ld is in any way like a Nazi, because he opposes socialism. But that is BS, because the National Socialist German Workers' Party under Adlof Hitler was not socialist. That the party was socialist was propaganda intended to fool Germans into supporting it. d0n0ld does the SAME thing in regards to his phony claims that he fights for the "forgotten man".
Björn Höcke is a German politician and a prominent member of the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party. In a joint interview during a campaign event in Erfurt, AfD chancellor candidate Alice Weidel expressed support for Björn Höcke Höcke and highlighted his role as a key figure in the AfD.
Elon Musk has publicly endorsed Alice Weidel and the Alternative for Germany (AfD) party. In a recent live chat on his social media platform, X, Musk expressed strong support for Weidel and the AfD, stating that he believes they are the "best hope for Germany".
Copilot: The Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) party has faced several accusations of harboring neo-Nazi sympathies and aligning with far-right extremism. Here are some key points...
1. Extremist Factions: Sections of the party, particularly in eastern Germany, have been linked to far-right extremist ideologies. The "Flügel" faction, led by Björn Höcke, has been classified as "right-wing extremist" by Germany's domestic intelligence agency.
2. Controversial Statements: Prominent AfD members have made controversial statements about Germany's Nazi past. For example, Björn Höcke referred to Berlin's Holocaust memorial as a "monument of shame", and former co-leader Alexander Gauland described the Nazi era as a mere "speck of bird's muck" in over a thousand years of German history.
3. Associations with Far-Right Figures: Reports of AfD members meeting with known far-right activists, such as Martin Sellner of the Identitarian Movement, have fueled concerns about neo-Nazi ties.
4. Surveillance by Intelligence Agencies: Germany's domestic intelligence agency has placed sections of the AfD under surveillance, citing concerns about their potential to undermine the democratic order.
These factors contribute to the ongoing accusations and concerns about the party's alignment with far-right extremism.

As per Malcolm Nance, "I warned that these insurrectionists would become a version of Trump's self-deputized political enforcers, the American version of the Nazi Brown Shirts. Now that Trump has pardoned over 1,600 violent extremists, their threat has magnified now that we know that the US Government may become their official sponsor".
d0n0ld tRump is America's Hitler. Full stop. That is why Elon Musk gave him the Nazi salute and supports the AfD, the German Nazi Party that says they aren't Nazis. Fascists deny being fascists. That's what fascists do. Same as White Supremacists deny being White Supremacists.
If they hope to gain power, that's what they do. Some people might eagerly vote for fascism, but most won't. But you can easily trick many of those people into voting for fascism, as has been conclusively proven via the return of the fascist Orange Turd to the White House.

The pr0-d0n0ld bl0gger Minus FJ says Democrats are an "elite party run by billionaires". Apparently he believes it's impossible for the Democratic Party to represent the average American because working class Americans aren't running the DNC.
Meanwhile, republicans CAN represent Average Americans, because tRump's incoming cabinet can relate to working class Americans. Proven by their lowly net worths... @@
Reports indicate that the combined wealth of Trump's cabinet members is around $340 billion, making it 2,881 times richer than Biden's cabinet, which had a combined wealth of about $118 million.
Here are some of the notable picks for Trump's cabinet and administration and their estimated net worths...
01. Elon Musk. Department of Government Efficiency. $344.6 Billion.
02. Charles Kushner. Ambassador to France. Estimated net worth: $7 billion (Kushner family).
03. Stephen Feinberg. Deputy Defence Secretary (offered). $4.8 Billion.
04. Warren Stephens. Ambassador to the United Kingdom. $3.4 billion.
05. Linda McMahon. Department of Education. $2.5 billion (shared with Vince McMahon).
06. Howard Lutnick. Commerce Secretary. $1.5 billion.
07. Doug Burgum. Department of the Interior. $1.1 billion.
08. Vivek Ramaswamy. Department of Government Efficiency. $1.1 Billion.
09. Steve Witkoff. Middle East envoy. $1 Billion.
10. Scott Bessent. Department of Treasury. Not listed, but known Billionaire.
11. Frank Bisignano. Head of the Social Security Administration. $974 Million.
Trump assembling US cabinet of billionaires worth combined $340 Billion. 12/6/2024 Article from The Guardian by Robert Tait. Excerpts.
Enough billionaires and multimillionaires have been assembled by Donald Trump to fill key roles in his nascent administration to form a soccer team. In a recruitment process that appears to mock his campaign's appeal to working-class voters, the president-elect has brazenly tapped a gallery of mega-rich backers for key positions that, in some instances, will give them power to cut spending on public services that are used by the most poor and vulnerable.
At least 11 picks for strategic positions after Trump returns to the White House in January have either achieved billionaire status themselves, have billionaire spouses or are within touching distance of that threshold. The net result will be the wealthiest administration in US history -– worth a total of $340 Billion at the start of this week, before Trump further boosted its monetary value by trying to appoint at least three more billionaires.
The Economic Times says "Trump 2.0 cabinet is far richer than his first term cabinet and almost 2881 times richer than the outgoing president, Joe Biden's cabinet, which has a combined wealth of a mere $118 Million.
Going by the picks so far, it looks like Turd-2 will be 2881 times more out of touch than the Biden Administration. Yet Minus believes that d0n0ld's cabinet of Bilionaires will somehow be MORE attuned to the needs and concerns of working class Americans? Yeah, that's a claim that is obviously bullplop.
Though I think the point Minus is making is that Democrats run on being for the working class. While republicans run as being for the wealthy. So republicans are adhearing to their promise (with these billionaire appoinments) to inflict hardship on the average American.
And, apparently, that is what the voters who cast their ballots for tRump/Vance were hungering for. They love hardship and want more of it. Well, they are going to get it. Along with people who didn't want hardship, and so voted for Harris/Walz. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!
Video: Dec 6, 2024. India Today Global. President-elect Donald Trump is assembling the wealthiest cabinet in US history, with a combined net worth of over $340 billion. From tech moguls like Elon Musk to business tycoons like Linda McMahon and Vivek Ramaswamy, what does this mean for the working class?
These billionaires are taking these jobs to futher enrich themselves. Elon Musk admitted, his goal is to inflict hardship on the American people. While he personally gets significantly richer. As Joy Reid said recently on her MSNBC program, Turd-2 will be the largest smash-and-grab in human history.

Video: History professor Allan Lichtman wrongly predicted the 2024 election results, even while using his much touted "keys". Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian discuss on The Young Turks. Your Support is Crucial to the Show...
It wasn't just this video. I used to be a much bigger fan. Then I saw a few things that turned me off. I'm done with TYT now. Fvck you, Cenk and fvck you, Ana. You both suck. The two comments below sum up how I feel about this video.
@you_are_soul: You people are idiots, while Trump installs utter lunatics you are enjoying the tears of Lichtman, pretty pathetic. Especially considering that y'all like the rest of the media had no idea how to cover Trump.
@slakethesnake: You are both so annoying ...when I found your channel a year or so ago I thought I found a fairer view of the world and politics but you both are skewed as well. The sarcasm and elitism you exude is outrageous. This video cements it for me and I'll be watching elsewhere!
What professor Lichtman said about the electorate needing to be rational was 100 percent correct. Joe Biden has been a fantastic president and Kamala Harris absolutely should have won. Given the keys and given that tRump was a known quantity.
Everyone is (or should) be aware of the terrible job the Turd did in the Turd-1 administration. So why would the voters want to bring him back? It is completely irrational.
These developments are horrifying, yet Cenk and Ana are both laughing and gloating? As opposed to Cenk saying "I was right, although, dear God, I wish I had been wrong". Do Cenk and Ana think that the Hell on Earth that is surely to come is also something to laugh about?
The still of Cenk smiling and laughing that appears before "play" is pressed seriously pisses me off. He isn't a tRump fan, is he? I'm pretty sure neither of these Turds are. Yet it seems like he is so happy to have been right. And that, if he could have the chance to be wrong -- he wouldn't take it.
"But having been right brings me such joy! All the misery that Turd-2 will inflict on the American people is inconsequential to my happiness!"... I bet if Cenk found a magical lamp, rubbed it, and a Genie appeared, no wish of his would involve him being wrong and tRump not being predisent-elect. That would be a wish he would not make, because then he could not laugh at Allan Lichtman and gloat about having been right.
Excerpted from The Stephanie Miller Show, 11/13/2024...
Stephanie Miller: I glad, btw, that people like Allan Lichtman, talking about the same thing we've been talking about ... disinformation was the biggest factor in this election. It would be different ... if those had been issues we lost on. If they really were doing trans surgeries in schools without the parent's permission. If Haitians really were eating our pets. If [the Biden Administration] really was giving FEMA money to illegal immigrants and not helping Americans. ...we lost entirely on lies.
One of the richest men in the world with one of the biggest platforms in the world -- blasting out lies. That's what Allan Lichtman said. This is the only time he's ever been wrong [was due to] this massive amount of disinformation.
**skip**
Bob Cesca: There is a flow of disinformation from people who watch Fox News or The Daily Wire, podcasters or whoever -- they end up talking to normals. Then normals think that stuff is also true. There is a flow of disinformation from d0nald tRump's disgusting yapper all the way to the minds of all kinds of people who ought to know better.
I can't tell you the number of times I got text messages and DMs from people saying, "hey, is that true? Is Joe Biden really giving FEMA funds to migrangts? Are they really doing gender reassignment surgeries in elementary schools where they have to do raffels to buy notebooks?". It's not just the disinformation itself, it's how is that disinformation getting to people who really should know better. ... we have to interrupt that flow of disinformation from the weirdos to the normals.
Stephanie Miller: Thank you. Allan Lichtman ... I say he was right about 2000, because who could have seen the Supreme Court just appointing bush. Al Goredid win did win the popular vote and wold have won the presidency if they had continued counting in Florida.
Anyway, Allan Lichtman blamed Elon Musk and the explosion of disinformation. His keys have just been historically accurate. You know why? They are based in fact. The economy has been provably fantastic under Joe Biden. He said he was sounding the alarm...
[Quoting Allan Lichtman] "...disinformation has exploded to an unprecidented degree. We saw something brand new this time, billionaire Elon Musk putting his thumb on the scales. It's been reported his disinformation had billions of views. This spread to every aspect of this election. When I was a kid, I read science fiction books, you know, the premise was a few mega rich people are able to control society. We're not all that far from it and I am sounding the alam and I don't think I'm the only one.
"The premise of the keys is that a rational, pragmatic electorate decides whether the White House Party has governed well enough to get 4 more years. But, if views of the White House Party controlled by disinformation, particularly driven by those who are so rich they have extraordinary influence beyond anyone else, then maybe the premise of the keys needs to be changed".
In a normal, sane world Kamala Harris would have won. ... stock market is at an all time high [as are] wages. Inflation back down to prepandemic levels. Immigration reform, we could have gotten done. republicans and tRump are solely the ones that stopped that. What else? Corporate price gouging. Kamala Harris talked a lot about that. And what we do about greedflation.
See here for a discussion on The Vanguard podcast. Guest Sam Seder of "The Majority Report" joins hosts Zac Polston and Gavin Miller-Broomfield to talk about the pivot by Cenk and Ana of The Young Turks as well as the Tenet Media investigation which involved rightturds Dave Rubin, Tim Pool and Benny Johnson being paid bigly to propagate Putin propaganda.
For the record, when I say that I'm "done" with the Young Turks, I mean I'm done thinking that Cenk and Ana are likely to have opinions I will agree with. I might still watch some of their YouTubes. If I had ever considered supporting TYT, that is a definite NO now. And I do like The Damage Report with John Iadarola, which is a part of the TYTurd Network. Also Jayar Jackson. Maybe some of these good progressives who are associated with TYT are considering leaving?

g00gle AI: According to multiple reports, Elon Musk is on track to become the world's first trillionaire by 2027. Musk's wealth is growing at an average rate of 109.88% per year.
The Hill: Musk draws skepticism with call for $2 trillion in spending cuts. Article by Arlis Folley. 11/03/24 9:12 AM ET.
Tesla CEO Elon Musk's call for "at least" $2 trillion in cuts to federal spending is drawing skepticism from experts as the billionaire tech magnate cements himself as one of former President Trump's most prominent backers.
Figures from the Treasury Department show the federal government spent north of $6.7 trillion over the yearlong period that ended in September, running a deficit of more than $1.8 trillion during the time frame.
"Most importantly, we have to reduce spending to look within our means, and you know that that necessarily involves some temporary hardship, but it will ensure long-term prosperity", he also said at the time.
**End Article Excerpt**
The "prosperity" the evil Turd is referring to is the prosperity of the oligarchs. People like him. Those in the middle and at the bottom will endure the hardship. And that's a fact.
This image (the one at the top of the post) reminded me of Tom Cruise jumping on Oprah's couch in 2005 because he was so in love with Katie Holmes. Are d0n0ld and Elmo a bromance that will endure? Time will tell.
Elmo is almost certainly going to get much richer as a result of his backing of the Putin-puppet d0n0ld. That explains why he was jumping for joy. And he could have also been wacked out of his gourd on ketamine.
btw, I think it is very obvious now that the reason Elon Musk purchased Twitter was to help get d0n0ld elected. He simply didn't care that he overpaid for it. And he doesn't care about destroying brand value by renaming it to the completely moronic "X". And he does not care that advertisers and users are fleeing. And he does not care that it's losing money.
The only reason he purchased it was to help d0n0ld win the election. And it was an investment that has already paid off bigly. Tesla stock shot up as soon as tRump "won". And more money will be coming his way as a result of his association with tRump. He will probably become a trillionaire faster than projected now. What a Turd.
