The "news" article even quotes the intent and then goes on to entirely ignore it

Naturally chuds

This bill is about sperm and regulating it, which is creepy, weird, and all sorts of 'WTF.'

Like chuds obsession with babies.

What a lovely night, tucked into bed with the boys and mister man

First, it is simply false to say that treasury payments do not have a "payment categorization code". It is notable, by the way, that he uses this completely invented phrase rather than the actual phrase "Treasury Account Symbol" (TAS). Indeed, it's impossible to find another use of this phrase using an internet search engine in any context, let alone the Treasury context. The far more limited "deficiency" pointed out by the Government Accountability Office report Krause referenced is that information about individual government transactions were recorded in multiple different account entries separately by some government agencies and thus individual transactions could not be readily traced through to all the accounting ledgers they effected.

No chud, the government doesn't need to note where it's spending your money and it was definitely working on a system to fix that by 2028 possibly

On to Musk's next claim: the need for "rationales". The idea of putting a "rationale" for each and every individual payment (or payment file) makes little sense in the context of how the system works. Think of this in your own life: do you fill out a little form that provides your "rationale" for purchasing an item every time you swipe your credit card? If you were required to do so, you would react very negatively for the same reason you should react very negatively here: if you had to put a rationale then someone could reject your spending requests on the basis of providing the "wrong" rationale.

Imagine the right wing uproar when the possibility emerged of restricting purchases of meat through such a "rationale for transaction" system. This should be seen as no different. The "Treasury Account Symbol" (TAS) provides the only rationale that should matter which is that congress appropriated the spending. Of course, if you want to abrogate congressional spending then that is obviously not sufficient and, in fact, counterproductive.

No chud, the government doesn't need to note why it's spending your money

Imagine if the government were buying some groceries and the government's credit card was rejected at the checkout, chud, that would be terrible. What if the government imposed fascist restrictions on you, chud, how would you feel?

This all goes back to Musk's tendency to think that there is, can be or should be a "button" that determines all of this and its corrupt, inefficient bureaucrats preventing this from happening. He simply doesn't understand how complex these systems are or why they are the way they are. Take the Treasury Offset Program (TOP) for instance. It is a Bureau of the Fiscal Service system for collecting delinquent federal or state debts. One former Bureau of the Fiscal Service employee explained to me that there are rules that determine:

Actually, chud, the bureaucratic tumour is a good thing and hasn't metastasized enough

To include my own editorial comment for a moment, this is why it's so alarming to see him talk about updating this list "weekly, or even daily". This strongly suggests to me that he is talking about arbitrarily and rapidly expanding the list of people and entities on lists such as the Office of Foreign Assets Controls (OFAC) list without any due process to block them from government payments. As I discussed the Wednesday before last, the apparatuses for capriciously destroying the financial life of disfavored entities and people has been constructed over multiple decades with active Democratic participation and support. Now they are in the hands of Donald Trump and Elon Musk. Thus, again, Musk's comments hide a desire for unchecked power over others under a false narrative about governmental "inefficiency".

My sources are also very skeptical that any career Treasury employee told Elon Musk that half of the expenditures that constituted "entitlements payments to individuals with no SSN" were "unequivocal and obvious fraud". It's hard to say more without knowing the context. This is the difficult thing with government by the pronouncement of Elon Musk. He can say stuff without any corroboration much faster than anyone else can check facts or correct falsehoods.

There's no fraud chud, my sources are 'skeptical'

In the meantime, it is exhausting how much effort is required to deconstruct one Elon Musk tweet. He can lie about very complex and technical systems much faster than he can be answered, but nevertheless it's important to periodically critically assess what the richest man in the world is saying as he continually tries to justify chopping the government up and selling it for parts like this is a private equity takeover.

Actually Musk is just lying, chud

BREAKING: Donald Trump just said THE ONLY OPTION IS THE 51ST STATE.

Canadians would pay 50% LESS IN TAXES and get FULL U.S. MILITARY PROTECTION.

And where’s JUSTIN TRUDEAU? In PARIS.

HE’S 100% SERIOUS ABOUT THIS.

“With the stroke of my pen,” Trump says he can stop companies from manufacturing cars in Canada. And he says he could stop Canada from being a “viable country.” This is how he treats America’s closest ally. This isn’t just bullying, it’s economic terrorism. https://t.co/5SUuR3XDHm

Trump: We’re making our country larger, we’re making our country stronger. And in the case of Canada—if this should happen—I don’t know how they can do it without us. Because without the U.S., Canada really doesn’t have a country.

They do almost all of their business with us,… pic.twitter.com/0RN4lyJ5RV

Trump: The reason Canada doesn’t pay that much for military is they assume we’ll protect them… That’s not an assumption they can make because why are we protecting another country? pic.twitter.com/UYEnBluKge

Starts with post on /r/Brazil about the deported !macacos not having stewardess on their flight home

No Water Or AC On Flight, Handcuffed: How Brazilians Deported From US Reached Home

One Australian expat in Brazil asks

There are currently over 5,000 US citizens that are in Australia illegally as they have overstayed their visas. These aren't people claiming asylum, these are people who have deliberately broken Australian immigration law.

Can you imagine the outcry from Trump & his cronies if Australia put 100 of them on a plane, handcuffed & shackled & flew them back to the US?

The responses he gets from !burgers were not what he'd hoped

Well Australia should send them back if true

I fully support the US deporting illegal immigrants and I fully support other countries deporting Americans who have overstayed their visa and are thus illegal immigrants, they violated the law, I have no issue with them being handcuffed while they're returned to the US

I don't think Americans care, many would probably enjoy seeing them get deported.

Deport them.

Do it. If they've overstayed visas and aren't legally allowed in Australia anymore they should be sent home.

Most Americans wouldn't have any sympathy for them doing something stupid and illegal.

Kick them out if they are illegal.

Well, those 5,000 are probably unhappy about America, so you can keep them, deport them, what ever you want. America doesn't care.

I think Trump would nt have a problem with it

No outcry from me, what's fair is fair. They made an agreement and violated it.

Women be crying

I posted about this too... I hated him being abusive and now this "he died" gaslamping stuff is giving me serious panic

The Colombian president started the fight on accepting undocumented immigrants back into his country. His main complaint was that they were coming on a military plane and that's inhumane treatment. Good news, you can treat them as humanely as you like when you have them back.
