In the great Joe Biden hog wallow of 2024, some pigs were more equal than others.
And Stacey Abrams was one of the most equal of them all.
The much-feted perennial Democrat candidate of Georgia, who has yet to win an election, went from a personal life of bounced checks and tax delinquency, to seeing $2 billion in the accounts of her web of nonprofits, courtesy of Joe Biden, who shoveled money out the door in his final days.
According to the Washington Free Beacon:
DOGE found $2 billion in taxpayer funds set aside for a fledgling nonprofit linked to perennial Georgia Democratic candidate Stacey Abrams. The Environmental Protection Agency under the Biden administration awarded Power Forward Communities the grant in April 2024 as part of the agency's Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund program. Power Forward Communities received the green energy grant despite the fact that it was founded months earlier in late 2023 and never managed anywhere near the grant's dollar figure—it reported just $100 in total revenue during its first three months in operation, according to its latest tax filings.
Power Forward Communities' grant was one of just eight Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund grants that the EPA doled out in April 2024 and that, altogether, totaled $20 billion. EPA administrator Lee Zeldin announced on Feb. 13 that his staff and Department of Government Efficiency officials discovered that the Biden administration parked that same $20 billion at an outside financial institution before leaving office, limiting the federal government's oversight of the program. The revelation that Power Forward Communities is among the beneficiaries of the funds Zeldin's team located raises ethics questions about how the Biden administration selected recipients of such massive grants and whether it played favorites when doling those grants out. Abrams was a vocal proponent

Biden was being thrown out of office, so he hid $20B
tax dollars at an “outside financial group — Citibank,”
(the corrupt Biden knew it’d be traceable if kept in govt documents).
Then Biden’s money-hungry EPA connived the bundle
Climate groups had their hands out......natch.
Biden slobbered over Ga Democratic loser, Stacey
Abrams, and awarded $2 billion to her “climate group”......
Abrams’ “Power Forward Communities” is a n/p
sucking up to multiple left-wing groups.
The Georgia Democrat loser stated she was “thrilled”
to be part of it, the Washington Free Beacon reported.

Can someone help me out? I keep reading Pedo Joe “set aside” two billion dollars that the DOGE has “found”. Has the Ghettopotamus already spent that 2 billion dollars or is it still “set aside” somewhere. Thanks for the help. They are talking on FNC right now. I guess Fat Ass already spent it.

If a regular American sends over $600 by PayPal to family or friends over the course of a year, it must be reported to government because that American is now a Criminal Suspect for money-laundering.
Meanwhile, that same government is laundering $ billions at a time as fast as they can, even to low-level insiders like Stacey Abrams.

Just the accruing interest, which no one tracks, is how a lot of these politicians make their money.
