DOGE takes out its first bloated department.

What is it with this guy?

You can't fix stupid. Just shake your head in pity and walk on. Keep on moving. Don't associate with them, they'll just drag you down to their level

They claimed he said he would be a dictator on day one, only. But, that was because, that was what he said. I don't think they believed he only intended for day one, as he's been known to lie like a rug.

Don't bet on it. He is the richest man on earth and basically bought the presidency for Donny. Without Elon's $277 Million, Donny only raised $87 Million of the campaign funds used. Nobody thinks trump could have won with an $87 Million campaign. Heck, at $364 Million, he only won the popular vote by less than 1.5%. He and the Republicans own Elon. Big Time.

/——/ Kamel Toe blew through $1.5 billion and left the DNC $20 million in debt. It wasn’t about the money. DERP.

Get over it, bitch. Nobody trusts you people. You assholes tried to lie about the 2020 for years, even in court 63 times, unsuccessfully, even in front of Trump appointed judges, then attacked the capital to disrupt recording the vote, while trying to submit documents of fake electors. Trump won, this time against Kamala, but it did not change the reality of you guys.

wow ! white 6 has certainly been acting angrier and more emotional for the past few weeks ! I wonder what could be causing him to be so shrill lately ?

 

[White 6]

Gheeze, you with all of your supposed intelligence, and life experience couldn't even decipher that Trump was talking about undoing what Biden did through EO? That along with your partisan approach really begs the question of why you're a mod in the first place....

Oh, I do....Problem with partisan progressives like you is that you have no ability to read the country...People were pissed, including Democrats. And, national elections ALWAYS boil down to 'kitchen table issues'... You, like most progressives believe that as long as you are doing fine, so goes the rest of the nation...It's a fools game.

I have found, if somebody says they are on the up and up, it should be taken with a grain of salt, as they are still politicians. If they say they are going to be an asshole, you can pretty much count on it.

How can someone have a billion dollars in available campaign funds, but end up millions in debt?

I guess this puts to rest the notion that one can spend their way into winning an election.

They had almost four years to build this myth.

/----/ The democRATs thought Joe was a shoo-in; Trump would be taken out of the race, so they had until 2027 to build Kamala's myth.

They weren't trying as they were working on the myth around Biden.

Its just what I have found, not just in politics, but workplaces, military, and bars. Feel free to ignore, as you are not in the circle of acquaintances I am in the actual presence of, on day to day or and time at all, so care little of what is or is not a big whoop. It is just what I have found.

So, you think that your experiences, and those in your little world make up what it must be for everyone eh?

Sorry, that's just self centered.

One of the biggest scams is sick leave. The government anticipates that their employees will be sick one day per month. Worse, unused sick days are paid to retiring employees as part of their pension.

And now Musk admits DOGE is full of poop.

https://www.cnbc.com/2025/01/09/elon-musk-says-doge-probably-wont-find-2-trillion-in-federal-budget-cuts.html

Tech billionaire Elon Musk said Wednesday that his budget-cutting effort on behalf of President-elect Donald Trump would most likely not find $2 trillion in savings, backtracking on a goal he set earlier as co-head of a new advisory body, the Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE.

Musk told political strategist Mark Penn in an interview broadcast on X that the $2 trillion figure was a “best-case outcome” and that he thought there was only a “good shot” at cutting half that.




Musk’s lowered estimate is a significant downgrade from his earlier view. At a rally for Trump at Madison Square Garden in New York on Oct. 27, Musk said he’d be able to cut the federal budget by “at least $2 trillion.”

That figure was quickly dismissed as implausible by budget experts, who said the entire discretionary budget was only $1.7 trillion. Musk hadn’t waved people off the number until Wednesday, and it has been widely cited in reports about DOGE’s plans.

Musk, along with former Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy, is co-leading the DOGE budget-slashing effort, which Trump named in reference to an internet meme. The advisory panel has no official authority and is expected to make recommendations to the White House after Trump is sworn in for a second term.

The Trump transition team didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment on Musk’s updated estimate.

Experts have said Musk and Ramaswamy would need to propose cuts to mandatory programs such as Medicaid, the health care program for the poor, to achieve significant savings. Musk himself has warned that cuts could mean “hardship” for some.
