DOGE disbanded? Where my $5K checks at tho????
- Thread starter tboonpickens
- Start date
It’s been a horrendous few weeks for MAGA… repealing their own tariffs, overcoming their president’s efforts to suppress the Epstein files, MAGAverse is full of Russian and foreign accounts, Mamdani and Trump are besties….
The sheep are the voting base. We are a nation of idiots that gets the government we deserve
Doge claimed it found a bunch of waste. But unfortunately for the sycophants, it lied.
I believe they found tons of waste. I also believe the blob in DC would’ve killed Elon for his continued efforts exposing them. Some things are too big to fail. Epstein, banks, AI, wasteful pet spending, among others, appear to fall in those categories.
And unfortunately for the little baby boys Elon sent to do the dirty work, they're going to learn a valuable lesson in scapegoating.
Yeah but you're a complete idiot, so how do you reconcile that?
Sort of been my frustration all along with a few things in this administration. There are a few different areas that I agree with some of the concepts, but that the people enacting them are so incompetent or they make it political or also have some ideas that repulse me that get tied up in the things I agree with. Two big areas:
1. DOGE - I am all for eliminating fraud and abuse. I could even get behind trying to be more efficient and cutting some departments total numbers as long as it was done logically (having everyone cut X% of staff within X amt of time, etc). I think there is a certain amount of fraud and abuse that is somewhat inevitable when you're talking about government programs as big as some of them are. That doesn't mean we shouldn't try to eliminate it, etc. But it does mean we shouldn't throw the baby out with the bath water. And it also frustrated me how much things that they just disagree with policy were then shared as fraud and abuse. Because as of now, I don't remember all the big prosecutions of all the fraud they caught. I just know that a lot of investigations into Musk and his companies were closed or departments gutted. And I know a whole lot of data was given to people I don't personally trust, that have since done seemingly nothing productive with it.
2. MAHA. I actually like focusing on prevention, actual rehabilitation, and love eliminating some of the processed things that are already illegal in other countries. But I think the anti-vax stuff and cutting all the various research projects and gutting the CDC and going by gut feelings and then looking for evidence is all incredibly dangerous and damaging. I suspect that when the next administration comes in, some of these things will be restarted etc, but for a lot of projects and important research, it will be too late.

DOGE accomplished its goal of eliminating itself. Ahead of schedule. Something no other Government program has ever done. And it saved the taxpayer billions.
Only people who like wasteful spending would not like this. Anything to not like Donald Trump.
