Thousands and thousands of new employees in the new administration. One idiot posted stupid racial stuff; and, now he's gone. Good. As someone born in Latin America I don't want racists, of any type, in power. I heard another new hire once went through the "10 items or less" lane at the grocery store with 12 items. Jerk. Let's start a thread on him as well.
did you read the article? He’s more than 1 of “thousands and thousands”. he was “a key staffer”, “one of Elon Musk lieutenants” and “was one of two DOGE employees granted access to the U.S. Treasury's payment systems earlier on Thursday.” So the concern is a 25 yr old, unqualified hire who posts unhinged racist statements was given access to key gov systems.
for all we know they have installed backdoors allowing themselves access at any point or set up a plan to drain the treasury and cause anarchy. does anybody know what they are doing? feeding all the data to GRONK, the Xai?
Even if he wasn't formally granted a top secret clearance he was given access to extremely sensitive systems some of which I would assume require that clearance for access.
Vax has been arguing semantics on a lot of these threads, willfully choosing to miss the forest for the word choices.
Yet you supported the guy who made these statements along with many more? "you cannot go to a 7-11 or a Dunkin Donuts unless you have a slight Indian accent." Biden called then-Sen. Barack Obama "the first mainstream African American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy." forced busing to desegregate schools would cause his children to “grow up in a racial jungle.” "Black parents can't read or write themselves," "poor kids are just as bright and just as talented as white kids." If you vote for Trump "then you ain't black"
he’s not the only one. And it’s either that or trolling “ ha ha trump won”, etc. And the reason is troubling……what trump/musk are doing is indefensible.
There isn't a shred of doubt that the message of MAGA is racist to its core. After all; "You see those people over there? Those people that are different from you ...... that belong to a different race? They're eating the dogs." "Those people who come here illegally to work difficult, crummy jobs? Those people who are of a different race? They're not like you and me." Right, Donald Trump? It's just that to MAGA voters, that clearly racist messaging (and frequent outright lying) simply isn't that big of a deal. Or even a problem whatsoever. Vile, vile times. Vile vileness accepted by ostensibly good people. Trump's America.
Got it. But I keep getting confused - with Bill Clinton character didn’t matter. It was how well he did his job. Now, character matters. Does it stay that way until a “D” is re elected?
You voted for and shill for a convicted felon, who had appx 60 other felony indictments corruptly dismissed, and who admitted to and was adjudicated guilty of sexual assault. So no Bill Clinton from 18 years ago please.
It is easy to get confused when you did not have family members exterminated by people like Elon Musk. I don't recall Clinton paying homage to the 3rd Reich.
So to your post #8, that’s why this is worthy of a thread. Trump/musk appear unhinged and wrecking parts of our gov and none of us know the ramifications.
….another doge team member….. “Edward Coristine, a 19-year-old high school graduate, established at least five different companies in the last four years, with entities registered in Connecticut, Delaware, and the United Kingdom, most of which were not listed on his now-deleted LinkedIn profile. Coristine also briefly worked in 2022 at Path Network, a network monitoring firm known for hiring reformed blackhat hackers. Someone using a Telegram handle tied to Coristine also solicited a cyberattack-for-hire service later that year. One of those domains, which is still active, offers a service called Helfie, which is an AI bot for Discord servers targeting the Russian market. While the operation of a Russian website would not violate US sanctions preventing Americans doing business with Russian companies, it could potentially be a factor in a security clearance review.” DOGE Teen Owns ‘Tesla.Sexy LLC’ and Worked at Startup That Has Hired Convicted Hackers
trump/musk stopping aid will directly result in many many deaths……. “As a medical organization providing life-saving services, you’re basically saying, ’Close all the clinics, stop all your doctors, and you’re not providing services to women, children, and the elderly,” Bilgin said. Bilgin said the impact on northern Syria, where millions rely on outside medical aid, could be catastrophic.” While the direct impact on affected communities is severe, the consequences of USAID’s funding crisis extend far beyond the borders of the nations it serves. The weakening of global health systems increases the risk of poor infectious disease control, which can reach the US faster than ever in our interconnected world. The loss of economic development programs can contribute to national instability, driving conflict, displacement, and migration crises that burden global security efforts. From a strategic perspective, cutting USAID’s funding undermines US influence in critical regions in global health, development, and economics. The erosion of USAID’s presence would further diminish America’s global leadership and weaken alliances with key partners.” USAID in Crisis: A Global Catastrophe Unfolding https://apnews.com/article/usaid-hi...ase-spending-20f9cb969ffb6773e57886e34bf69165
Trump administration to keep only 294 USAID staff out of over 10,000 globally, sources say President Donald Trump's administration plans to keep fewer than 300 staff at the U.S. Agency for International Development out of the agency's worldwide total of more than 10,000, four sources told Reuters on Thursday. Washington's primary humanitarian aid agency has been a target of a government reorganization program spearheaded by businessman Elon Musk, a close Trump ally, since the Republican president took office on January 20. https://www.reuters.com/world/us/tr...aid-staff-out-over-10000-globally-2025-02-06/ ——————- The type of change I’ve been dreaming of for years. Trump has set aside his enemies and finally he is able to drain the swamp. It’s beautiful.
Nope. No oversight or collaboration with employees who know the systems. Being conducted like a forensic I.T. exercise, but without the transparency. Are they documenting their actions, so a review will be available later? Doesn't seem so. I don't know of any business that conducts a process this way with good intentions.
