He had a drug addict cutting the government willy nilly. That's what you voted for? Didn't save a penny. Spent $100M more than Biden did his first 100 days. Has no idea what we cut. I've heard some offices were cut and I was horrified for our public health and foreign affairs. All the while, Trump is getting richer. Yay. It's all so great. |
Don’t be a sucker. You two are being used. Elon created Doge for three reasons: 1) collect our data 2) get more government contracts 3) stop investigations into his unsafe vehicles and wasteful space experiments Oh, and defunding USIAD has killed thousands of babies. Pro-life, right? https://www.cbsnews.com/news/doge-cuts-cost-135-billion-analysis-elon-musk-department-of-government-efficiency/ This was a smash and grab and it will cost more in the long run. |
I don't believe that latest talking point, but let's go with it for now - what is your point? Are you saying that you WANT government to be cut, and you're mad at Trump because he isn't doing enough of it? other than disliking Trump, what do you even stand for? |
Other than riding Trump's jock, what do you even stand for? |
DP It’s not a “talking point”, it’s math. |
It’s the maga way. They try to refute evidence with nonsense. Normal people: “Hey, here are 15 well researched pieces of evidence that support my point.” MAGA: “HUNTER’S LAPTOP VACCINATION FAUCI BIDEN IS A CLONE!” |
Is this the kind of math 2+2 can equal what you want it to because some cultures have been repressed by maths imposed upon them by imperial nations? |
Is it just me or have the EO’s finally slowed down? Is Trump getting bored? Can we breathe again? |
Another DP...just watch what is happening in Congress with the Big Beautiful Bill. It's going to grow our deficit bigly. If Elon and DOGE had cared at all about reducing the deficit they would have worked with Congress...but no, they just went around making cuts to funding that was already signed into law, resulting in even more spending when the government got sued and the cuts were reversed. Sad! |
Keep drinking the kkkool aid "honey". You voted for dump and now he's staying out of prison, playing golf, him and his friends are getting richer, and he could give a sh^t about the American people. Enjoy your mess you voted for it. |
yup |
He just signs whatever they put in front of him, so I think it’s more that they are watching everything fail in the courts so they are working out back up plans |
Np here. We are so tired of repeating ourselves. Of course we all want to actually increase government efficiency and cut the fat. But that’s not at all what Doge is doing. Cutting essential programs and agencies and firing some of the best and brightest does not increase efficiency. If they actually wanted to increase efficiency, they would have put time and effort into pinpointing where cuts should be made. They would have gone after low-performing employees. But they don’t have the attention span for that. I don’t know where you work, but imagine a consultant walking into your office and firing every 5th person they see. And then randomly walking around telling people to stop working on whatever it is they are doing without even trying to understand what it is they do and why. Would this improve your office? Or would it cost more in the long run to clean up the mess? Can you think of smarter ways to improve efficiency/spending in your office? I know many government workers who say that over these past few months, the efficiency and productivity have hit rock bottom. Nobody knows what they are allowed to work on anymore. It is mass confusion. People are literally wandering around because there is nothing they can do. Meanwhile, their actual work is piling up, but they aren’t allowed to do it. Someone said it feels like our country is being run by middle schoolers who have been sucked into the right wing propaganda algorithm on youtube, and that is actually the perfect description. |
Ugh the visual. So gross! |
Everything was cut somewhat randomly, based on keywords rather than actual function, and some people have had to be reinstated because everything started to fall apart. Having someone drugged up cutting government via keywords and AI doesn't work as well as it apparently did for Twitter. But yeah, Billionaires are doing even better now, so we should all be happy, right? |
