Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

They don't understand what the people being fired do. There's no marketing or awareness campaigns for the GSA clerks that keep every government office in the country stocked with chairs; or the mental health nurses that pick up the phone at 2 in the morning.
People think it's some white guy just golfing while they collect checks.
I mean... If it's about efficiency, wouldn't the military be the first place to audit?
That's how we know it was never about auditing or waste.
We have generals from the military asking for less equipment , and then congress ignores them and rubber stamps the contracts of their doners in the Military Industrial Complex.

If we want to go after real waste in our spending we need to start forcing the rich to make concessions. This becomes more true every year we allow wealth inequality to continue growing.

The funny thing is that Elon Musk is the wealthiest man ever and enough hecklers chanting "no one likes Elon" in a sing song manner would bring him to tears
I want DOGE to be put to sleep.
Or maybe just move to a farm upstate where they can run and play through the fields all day. No one to say “bad doge”, no one to stop from digging homes or chasing squirrels, no one to care when they play on the mud
imagine this sentence 10 years ago!
rip Kabosu, your alias was not meant to be stained in such a way :(
Dicks out... Er wait.
Nah we can do it for both les go
Find the student loan records and erase them!

I thought destroying the government and setting up racism was the win?
What is this limited time thing?
When they were selling DOGE during the campaign, the pitch was they’d have a year or something to do their thing. The EO might have it spelled out can’t recall. But they also said they would just be an advisory group? Not insider threat hackers and political commissars at the top of every agency. Not sure why they are sweating a time limit since they dont care about any other law, regulation or protocol. I guess if they don’t deliver enough, Trump won’t do another EO extending their presence? They’re literally reworking agency stuff so that the DOGE staff have to sign off on commissioners actions, hiring etc so are they just going to revert that once the clock strikes midnight for DOGE?
I suppose the idea is that the admin wants to lock in all the creepy shit from project 2025 prior to mid terms since they know that all of it will end up being wildly unpopular and will result in republican losses in congress and potentially gridlock from that point forward… but again, their playbook essentially calls for the end of democracy, so why are they sweating something like the midterms…
Seriously, Musk is fit... Fit for a short tour of the inside of a whicker basket.
Switch that to the wicker man, and I'm listening...
With limited time before their tenure ends, DOGE officials are desperate to show results.
Uh first I'm hearing of this
Yes where are the weapons of mass corruption?
Maybe Saddam Husein can help?
Oh no they hung him!
oh no they hung him!
Hanged*
Sorry, not usually that person but this one drives me nuts because literally everyone gets it wrong, including TV, movies, news.
I guess at this point, it's gotten the "literally" treatment, and "hung" has become valid since it's used so much.
Thank you, I am literate and opinionated but not educated 😀.
