Policy Discussion: Understanding That Despite its name, DOGE is not a Cabinet-level department of the United States government.

[Darkwind]

You can reframe it all you want, but your statement isn't connected to reality

No court is saying or would try and block any president from looking at what the government is spending tax money on. That is just nonsense to suggest

You haven't been connected to reality since Trump won.

 

[Dante]

Did it help the democrat party?... please do it again...

It did not hurt the Democrats. Indictments and Prosecution of Wrongdoers and Criminals like Trump is nonpartisan. Trump tried making it so, but American voters did not elect Trump because he was prosecuted. They elected him (less than 50%), in spite of it all. Sad day for America.

 

[MagicMike]

All of that is wrong... the courts can not block the president from looking at what the government is spending tax money on... they can not stop him from uncovering fraud and waste unless they want to go to jail for aiding the fraud and corruption... that is why all these judges did was pause the search... and of course like Biden always did Trump is ignoring the rulings... March onward Musk and bring big balls with you...

Your clueless opinion is noted.

 

[BluesLegend]

You Dems are hilarious. Good luck convincing the American people that cutting government WASTE is a bad thing.

 

[Dante]

They hold top-secret security clearances and the Secretaries of each cabinet approve their work.

Really? If they were vetted it's amusing how that Musk aide with the weirdo racist rants go a look inside.

I believe you are full of shit here

Musk’s DOGE crew lacked high enough security clearance to access that information, so the two USAID security officials — John Voorhees and deputy Brian McGill — believed themselves legally obligated to deny access.

Trump has long been a national security risk. Though Most Americans are just clueless about the stuff.

reframe all you want.

Nobody is saying cutting government WASTE is a bad thing

next

And most Americans (including many people who voted for Trump) are not MAGA faithful, as nuts and weird as you are

He is that and more

312, won every swing state, won the popular vote. Facts vs your pathetic spin. Just sit in the back while we demolish the Democrat regime.

IRS agents are subject to oversight

So is USAID. Considering how much of our money the government hands out like candy, it's about time we oversaw what they have been helping themselves to.
What bothers you about us keeping our money? Unless the situation is critical, 180 other countries will just have to wait until we crawl out from under our crushing debt. Borrowing money at compound interest so we can give it away is pure insanity.
20 million dollars to Iraq for 6 more episodes of The Muppets? If Iraq didn't need to watch the Muppets so badly, we could have helped our hurricane victims in NC.
America 1st. An idea we are just now getting used to.

In 1992, a 3way race, Clinton won the popular vote with just 43.0% - Clinton wins with 49.2% in 1996, another 3way race.

Bush (W) 2000? 47.9% 2way race

2016? Trump - 46.1%

2024: 49.8% (newer results ) Trump

Not very impressive.

312 ec votes? Not very impressive, considering Obama got 365 and 323 - Bill Clinton 370 and 379 in 3 way races

 

[Dante]

Does it? Does it really hand out money in that way? What a warped sense of reality you possess.

 

[Dante]

What bothers you about us keeping our money?

Nothing.

Americans will eventually end up serious angry about the results that will surely come out of Trump's actions now.

We beat the shit out of Democrats and now we are F'ing up their entire world, it's glorious. I love watching Dems cry and have a conniption fit.

 

[The Irish Ram]

To anyone with a hand out. How much did the 180 countries that we dole out millions to, send us to help with our hurricane destruction, or to the victims of fire in Ca?
Do you think we should go into debt to give the money away? Because that is the reality...

 

[The Irish Ram]

Nothing.

Not eventually, but now. We are sick of it now.
If you have no problem with us keeping our money, unless we know where the tourniquet needs to be applied, how do we stop the bleeding?

I'm not sure how that works. Geopolitics, national security, and foreign policy do not work like charities.

We are not in debt because of those things.

You are. Not ""we"

Everyone who voted for Trump does not agree with you on everything.

wake up
