All this "fraud" and yet still not a single fraud charge filed.

1. And even better fraud found under Biden that could have led to a 10 year sentence

A Trump appointed judge gave probation even though nearly $100K of SS benefits were fraudulently received.

2. Just wait

If they can kidnap you off to some El Salvadoran hellhole without a shred of evidence, they can fabricate whatever they want for no reason whatsoever.

5. You are so correct,

While the U.S. under Trump has not engaged in state-sponsored kidnappings in the way countries like Russia, North Korea, or Saudi Arabia have, there are concerning parallels in the use of power to suppress dissent, control narratives, and intimidate opposition.

Russia, for instance, has a well-documented history of targeting political dissidents both domestically and abroad, often through detention, forced disappearances, or worse.

Saudi Arabia’s involvement in the murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi is a chilling example of a regime that silences critics with impunity.

North Korea is notorious for disappearing citizens—including foreign nationals—for perceived disloyalty.

While Trump hasn’t gone to those extremes, there are echoes of authoritarianism in his behavior—such as:

Calling for the jailing of political opponents.

Undermining free press by labeling it "the enemy of the people."

Encouraging violence against protestors.

Threatening to invoke the Insurrection Act during protests.

Using federal agents against protestors in Portland without coordination with local officials.

These actions don’t equate to kidnapping, but they do show a willingness to blur the lines between strong governance and authoritarian overreach. It's not the same degree, but it may be part of the same playbook—one that seeks to centralize power, weaken institutions, and marginalize dissent.

3. because all of the data collected and entered by humans

is absolutely perfect. 100s of millions of records of births and deaths. all keyed in by a person someplace. all perfect!

4. A "survey"? What the hell is that, talking about crimes here you don't do a "survey."

I’m really tired of all this vague accusation. Show us some evidence and arrest some people or shut up. Trump‘s chumps are lapping this up like it was real

6. ALWAYS DEMAND...

That they fucking PROVE what they claim.

7. Total bullshit.

The Unemployment Insurance programs are run in each individual state, NOT at the Federal level. Each state has their own processes for identifying fraud.

Improper payments (not necessarily fraud) did increase temporarily in 2020 due to the quick implementation of several special programs to deal with layoffs due to COVID. This was temporary and I believe most of that money has been clawed back by this point in time.
