ROK Drop Open Thread – February 14, 2025

“As Korea embraces a brighter future, many Koreans can’t help but feel pity for the challenges facing America, watching as America slips into decline.”

This screenshot of this will be fun to revisit when America does not slip into decline¹.

Especially if you define “fun” as ridiculing the infirm of mind, weak of personality, and marginally connected to reality.

¹ Of course all of America’s enemies, foreign and especially domestic, will try. They may have some temporary successes. But fundamentals such as less fraudulent spending, more industry, and fewer regulations will be hard to overcome.

This. Happy Valentine’s Day everyone.

Setnaffa, they have already done this study, many times, in fact.

The basic finding is the survival strategy for weak beta men is more group-oriented and collectivist than independent alpha males.

Once you accept this, yet another part of the world becomes more clear.

Lous Headlines: “State Dept. Plans $400 Million Purchase of Armored Tesla Cybertrucks”

Quiet Reality: The deal was made under the Biden administration and has been canceled to avoid any appearance of conflict of interest.

Fact: You might think you hate the media enough, but you don’t.

Little Known Fact: One reason for Trump’s election was mastering the less corrupt alternative media. Now they are replacing the “main stream” media in places like the White House and Pentagon. This is a positive development, but we must remain vigilant. There will be a time when they also become highly biased and corrupt.

Bonus Fact: Never forget that USAID had over 6000 reporters and hundreds of media groups on the payroll to push agendas such as Safe & Effective, Trump is a Russian Asset, Hunter Biden Laptop is Russian Disinformation, Releasing Epstein’s Client List is a Threat to Our Democracy… etc.

I was also surprised to see Trump fire the people in charge of locking the doors guarding our nuclear stuff.

Some of the former staff, from when it was a responsible agency, are complaining about this recent buffoonery.

It’s a good thing those teenagers in DOGE fire those good for nothing nuke security admins. They know what they are doing, just like how DOGE website got hacked easily leaking critical data. This is a joke of a .gov site, anyway. Elon Musk bemoans too much information is classified.

USA is a clown show. Just sit back and watch how it crashes into chaos. Just wait until these MAGA clowns get really rolling. They claimed that they destroyed the BRICS block They think Spain is part of the BRICS. It is what it is, when third of your nation doesn’t even have grade fifth education. Oh wait, passing the fifth grade didn’t help Donald Trump who also doesn’t know what BRICS is.

What’s worse are the maggas. They are funny.

Ronald Regan, commenting on Donald Trump, in Nov 1988

Stephen, they’re now rounding up foreign tourists with valid passports perfectly legal foreign tourists, touring the US, with no criminal activity, and shipping them off to Guantanamo Bay concentration camps. In the news, bunch of foreign tourists missing, traced to those camps, and their relatives are trying to sue the US government to release information.

US is now a dangerous authoritarian dystopia with people starting to go missing. Anyone who is not white, who wants to tour or visit there, should think twice. They are worse than Russia and China right now. At least in those countries, foreign tourists aren’t being rounded up based on their race, and thrown into concentration camps without any information provided – for perfectly no reason other than their race.

CH, it is really instructional to watch the rancid spittle running down the lips of the formerly oh-so-serene bots and shills serving Beijing.

I may need to do the equivalent of “provocatively claiming Greenland/Canada/Panama, trashing the EU, and quoting Napoleon” at work… I am getting some really great ideas from this…

Trump posted this yesterday:

“He who saves his country, does not violate any laws”.

Just think about that comment. He feels he’s now above any law. And he’s probably almost right. He just has to bring down the US supreme court, and their Project 2025 will be guaranteed a huge success.

“even when they list specific programs and amounts”

….and EINs. Yeah nothing to see here.

Everyone knows there is massive inefficiency in government.
Until now it just hasn’t been feasible to try to fix it because shutting down any source of government money for any reason is not going to be popular with a good portion of the voting base. And politics are local and too many people vote for their immediate interests over long term. It is really refreshing to see what can be done quickly…just because it shows that it is possible and gives me hope.

Wait… he just said a person who saves the country does not violate any laws. How is this above the law?

Are you being deliberately dense or are you totally brainwashed?

He himself declaring and claiming that he single-handedly saved his country, doesn’t mean that he can do anything he wants by ignoring all the checks and balances on executive power that has been there for hundreds of years. You don’t just want Donald Trump. You want a strong dictator, I get it.

Okay Canada. You take up the slack. Thanks.

Liz, that was under Biden. Different time, different administration. You don’t get to take credit for something that you’ve blamed Biden for. Trump already said, no more aid to Ukraine, and he said he wants to take Ukraine’s natural resources to take back the money that was given by Biden.

my tax dollars went there so yes, I do get to “take credit” for where my money went. I am also very glad it isn’t going there anymore.
Also glad my money is no longer going to 60 NGOs for propaganda purposes in Hungary.

Prime Minister of Hungary, Viktor Orbán:
“The fact is that the liberal elite of the West use the taxpayer money of United States citizens to spread their ideology around the world and finance more than 60 NGOs, paid politicians, and media outlets in Hungary. It was a plot against our sovereignty and independence.”

CH, please don’t ask the chinabot to give you their gutter-oil ravaged colons.

With them making gay innuendoes about me, it is just too much. Not to mention, Stephen can’t even decide if I am male or female.

Plus, we all know they refuse to be tied down to anything tangible. They just change the subject and skip to the next Freudian projection.

There is a meme of Chrystia Freeland standing in front of a column of Musk Cybertankstrucks.

FW De Klerk ended white minority rule because of internal boycotts by Black South Africans that targeted businesses that supported or benefited from apartheid policies.

Chystia Freeland, as the next Prime Minister of Canada, is going to boycott Musk businesses as they support and benefit from Trumpskyist apartheid policies.

As RB Reich reminds us; DEI is not to protect African-Anerrican lesbian firefighters, it is to remove incompetent white guys from the sinecures that they have been given as they pledged fealty to Trumpsky.

In which parallel universe is RFK Jnr even remotely qualified to run the Department of Health?

If it wasn’t for Walter Reed Hospital pumping a comatose covid riddled Trumpsky with vaccines, Ol’ Trumpsky would be as dead as a Russian tank targeted by a Turkish TB2 on a Kursk battlefield.

And Ol’ Trumpsky ain’t gettin’ any healthier on his diet of Mickey D’s and Diet Coke, and the 3 inch lifts in Ol’ Trumpsky’s shoes ain’t doing his cardiovascular and lymphatic systems any good, and make him prone to propping and falling over.

A subtle push from JD Vamce on the Appalachian hills and it’s cue the dueling banjos, as JD Vance hitches his britches and rides his moonshine wagon into Washington town.

You voted for this Trumpskyists … now enjoy the Book of Hosea, Chapter 8, Verse 7.

We all know the fate that Stalin dealt to Trotsky and Putin will deliver the same fate to Trumpsky.

So, Korea Man, you are unable to make a clear list of specific things you are unhappy about with the DOGE team exposung fraud, waste, and abuse and Trump ending it.

Suspected it.

Ladies and gentlement, this is an example of low-IQ tools repeating talking points about things they are told to hate with no real idea why they should hate them or even what the issues really are.

The Korean Mans, the Stephens, the Nomads go through life supporting whatever they are told and huffing about anything that disrupts that with absolutely no ability to think for themselves.

They bite the hand that feeds them and lick the boot that kicks them.

You don’t have to treat these sub-humans as full people. In fact, it is self-destructive to do so, as their opinions should never have equal weight to those which are thought-out and can be supported with facts.

These sub-humans talk a lot of trash but never address anything clearly and directly.

Because they can’t.

The facts aren’t with them and the mental capacity simply does not exist.

Bonus: Stephen and Nomad are welcome to try as well. If they cannot fill their mouths with legitimate concerns based on solid reasoning, I suggest filling them with bags of dìcks.

Double Bonus: The failure is glorious to watch, as every time they open their mouths, it confirms what they really are.

Korea Man, you are a tool but you are a dull one.

– It turns out, cutting government workers and cutting government services don’t have a linear relationship. Remember when Musk fired 80% of the Twitter staff and nobody noticed? In fact, it got better. So much for, “but but but Musk doesn’t have any experience blah blah.”

The most likely outcome here is by cutting bloat and fraud, services will get better at a lower price to everyone paying.

– Do you really believe the plan is to cut the medical part of healthcare and leave the fraud, waste, and abuse? You are truly too dumb to live.

– The beauty of cutting fraud in Social Security is that it will still be around for future generations instead of watching its slow destruction.

Before you open your mouth, consider the goal of DOGE is not to cut legitimate services. In fact, it wants to increase legitimate services to Americans by cutting the fraud, waste, and abuse that drains the functionality out of all government services.

The only people against this are:

– the Orange Man Bad pre-programmed sub-humans that cannot make specific lists of why he is bad… they just repeat the concepts they have been told

– those who know fraud, waste, and abuse exists but get a secondary benefit from it and don’t want to disrupt that so they pretend it doesn’t exist and will kinda half-heartedly deny it exists as their self preservation conflicts with basic moral framework (looking at you, Nomad)

– those who are benefitting from the fraud waste and abuse and will make all sorts of excuses and rationalizations (also may be looking at you these days, Nomad… better check my files)

All three groups are bad people looking to take something from you and make you feel bad for complaining.

They may be treated as such.

“to cut healthcare for the poor and the most vulnerable”

That would certainly be one of the more efficient ways to solve the problem, but it doesn’t look like they are going to do it.

Instead, they seem to be interested in cutting all the parasitic drains on the system that keeps cost high and quality low.

The American medical system has a bureaucratic overhead that is larger than the cost of medical treatments. Further, much of it is designed to be a wealth transfer program from government to the involved industries.

Hillarycare worked in secret to make this worse and the American public was so distrusting that it failed. Obamacare tricked the public. Costs were raised but taxpayer funds subsidized this so it could be claimed costs were lowered. Does anybody have a before and after Obamacare story they want to share?

I know you have been programmed to hate Trump so badly that you will ignore what you see happening and keep claiming what you want to believe. We saw it all through Trump’s first term and we saw it as the vaccinated started getting covid while still angrily defending Safe & Effective.

Are you going to make that list of think DOGE is doing wrong or is that project dead on arrival?

“The plan’s goal is to save $3 trillion. Where do you think they’re going to come up with the money?”

You may be a bigger expert on the details on America’s finances than I am and you may be able to explain what the real number should be. Please do.

Yapping about the dreams of “Trump-associated” Project 2025 instead of listing what DOGE is doing wrong by exposing fraud, waste, and abuse, is not making a case that it is incorrect.

Difficulty Level: There is no case against it. This is a rare case where government is doing something overwhelmingly good.

Bonus: A judge just took the leash off and is allowing DOGE access to more data.

Double Bonus: The housing market in DC has exploded with increased listings at lowering prices… as have the Google searches for criminal defense attorneys and overseas money transfers.

The Turd is afraid…

…and all you little poop droppings are splashing around.

You have nothing to fear becasue you are such a small speck of filth that you never got a piece of the corruption.

But you fear emotional collapse as your mental existence increasingly is exposed to be based on lies.

As we have seen before, you will angrily defend it until you can’t. Then you will go quiet.

Keep digging.

And give us that list of DOGE misdeeds.

Again, you speak of fantasy that has not happened and avoid discussing the exposure of fraud, waste, and abuse, that is happening now.

And speaking of exposing FW&A, the leftist activist judge that blocked Trump’s freeze on unaudited spending (Judge Jack McConnell) turns out to be on the board of directors (and spent 10 years as Chair) for Crossroads Rhode Island, a leftist activist NGO.

They got 42 million dollars of this unaudited spending since 2020, and even more before that.

Things become more clear.

Everyone that goes against transparency, financial or electoral, is involved in the fraud.

Wise Advice to Base Decisions on: If a Non-governmental Organization gets their budget from government, thery are not a Non-governmental Organization.

They are likely advancing an agenda that would be unethical, illegal, or a transfer of wealth that government cannot do.

Also:

Between social security to 20 million+ people over 100 and social security payments to fraudulent social security numbers, a rough calculation shows that perhaps a third of social security spending is fraudulent.

Maybe social security is more sustainable than anyone thought.

Bonus:

Now, they are looking into how many of these people are registered to vote Democrat.

Conclusion:

If you are against this, you are the enemy.

You are the enemy of America and Americans. You are the enemy of all that is ethical of moral.

It is time to use the strategies of the left.

Investigate, expose, dox, and prosecute anyone with the appearance of being involved. Ruin the lives of anyone perpetuating the fraud, waste, and abuse that hurts all Americans.

Everyone knows that Musk is using DOGE to go after government agencies that potentially threaten his business interests.

The Setnaffarians pretty much gave Musk the keys to their Social Security and Medicare funds, so wouldn’t be very difficult for his young “commandos” to fleece the Setnaffarians out of their hard earned Social Security and Medicare.

Good luck suckers!

I should add, the idea of COBOL having anything to do with 1875 is 100% rediculous for many reasons if you have any sense… and many more if you are a programmer.

I took a COBOL class. I don’t remember what happened to uninitialized dates, but I would have remembered if it was 1875.

How about this.

Instead of quoting fake news, show me some documentation from a COBOL manual.

Within a few days, there will be lots of rebuttles to this nonsense.

They won’t get much press.

So Social Security is just paying benefits to people without knowing anything about them.

Explain the people getting benefits from 110 to 149 years old.

Someone has reading comprehension issues. The article said, the system automatically stopped paying out to any names who were over 110 years old. They didn’t bother cleaning out the old data with invalid birthdates, because it would cost too much money.

Notice you didn’t say anything about DOGE not investigating the Billionaire club, including Musk himself and Trump, who don’t pay a penny in taxes. Why isn’t DOGE investigating the Presidential office and its cabinet when all the other departments are getting cut, inhumanely? Oh that’s right, they’re above the law.

And I like to ask you, what your job is and who you work for. How would you like it if your boss fires off an email to you, saying you’re fired because you’re no longer needed, so now pack your stuff and get the hell out? Where is the labor law in all this? In Korea, and most developed countries, this is illegal. Stuff like this have consequences. The Western Area Power Administration people that DOGE fired recently, will now lead to power blackouts. The dumbasses fired the essential workers. And what’s happening to those fired who used to work for the Veterans Affairs? Being MAGAs and being military vets, returning from wars, didn’t help them to keep their jobs.

“Yes, Nomad, I also find it hard to believe there is any fraud, waste, and abuse in the American government.
And, like you, I am certainly not going to fall for this DOGE misinformation and fake news trying to tell me otherwise, even when they list specific programs and amounts.
As it is, it is really hard to believe the American government even functions with such limited size and budget.
Fortunately, we have insightful and informed people such as yourself to guard against those who want to throw sand in the well-oiled machine of government thrift and efficiency.
Don’t forget your covid booster.”

When and where have they posted any specific (factual) programs and amounts? You’re such a child, and always have been for as long as I’ve known you online. You live to create discord and controversy just so you can get the + votes from your fellow angry old white men and women. You’re what, close to 70? Isn’t it time to grow up, old man? I actually feel sorry for you. What’s the symptom again? Oh yeah, Napoleon complex. You too, with the help of Setnaffa’s prayer, can overcome.
😉
Talk again next year, maybe. Over and out.

“How would you like it if your boss fires off an email to you, saying you’re fired because you’re no longer needed, so now pack your stuff and get the hell out?”

Just a few short years ago when the pipeline workers were summarily fired I seem to remember the sympathetic “learn to code”. Also when people rejected the one-and-done-safe-and-effective they were summarily fired (even if they were allergic to the ingredients, in the case of military…exemptions that were made for other vaccines were not made for the EUA one). Then there were all the businesses that went under due to lockdowns that didn’t apply to major corporations.
I don’t remember this level of sympathy then.

Nomad, as is his nature, is suggesting that perpetuating a leftist government make-work program for actions that are actually destructive to America is the right thing to do.

And the rest of America should pay for it.

This is what happens when you build your entire life around mooching off the government.

You start to see that as normalized behavior and attack anyone who points it out.

As Liz pointed out, decent people doing decent work have been fired for all sorts of arbitrary reasons.

Firing people perpetuating fraud, waste, and abuse is the right thing to do by every metric.

Anybody against this is fundamentally a bad person.
