    They’re framing it as taxpayers paying for Pete ro receive gay sex awards.

    If I said Donald Trump cheated on his taxes to fund the cloning of hitler in the hollow core of the Earth, that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t do anything about him cheating on his taxes…

    I feel like I’m going crazy here, I don’t get why I’m not be clearer here.

      Because your argument is fucken nuts, bro. This isn’t an excersize in proactivity. Its obvious politcal retaliation.

      I think you’re looking at it from a rational view. However, most people don’t actually look into things and instead just read headlines and make assumptions from there. They should absolutely look into any type of fraud, waste, and abuse but generally it is done behind closed doors. The only reason this is being broadcast out to the world, despite there being seemingly overwhelming evidence of no wrong doing, is to create headlines and a PERCEPTION of wrong doing. That perception is all they care about because to their constituents perception is reality.
