    Looks like DOGE is resorting to dragging Social Security staffers out of their offices for disagreeing with Musk. Musk decided to have undocumented immigrants declared dead, and a staffer refused to do it, so he was dragged from his desk and out of the office.

    DOGE is making great progress. Three months into Trump's second term, and federal spending is only up by $154 billion. Good thing the U.S. didn't elect an incompetent liar as president--no wait, it did! It's almost like we have a con-man in the Oval Office. Looks like Biden was the more fiscally restrained president--how about that?

    ‘A joke’: Despite DOGE, gov. spending under Trump vs. Biden up $154 billion this year, WSJ reports

    DOGE is just such a collection of lies and..... well, other lies ..... that it's hard to know what to even quote from this article.


    When he was Mr. Trump’s most prominent supporter on the campaign trail, he said he could cut $2 trillion from a federal budget of about $7 trillion. After Mr. Trump was elected and Mr. Musk’s group began its work, Mr. Musk lowered that goal to $1 trillion.

    Mr. Musk’s group has provided an online ledger of its budget cuts, which it calls the “Wall of Receipts.” The site was last updated on Tuesday, to show an “estimated savings” of $150 billion.

    The ledger is riddled with omissions and flaws.

    Last two stories straight out of Handmaiden's Tale. Who knew it was a blueprint instead of a warning?

    Elon is a moron partisan Apartheid lover. His lone goal was to destroy the NLRB that was suing him, destroy the EPA that was suing him, destroy OHSA that was suing him and access the financials of individuals and companies to give his failing businesses an advantage.

    Who exactly is committing fraud again??

    I was just telling my wife that this season's HT has lost some steam because it is no longer satire. It is slightly exaggerated real-life. It's less cautionary tale and more depressing summary.

    If Kamala had won and Musk was working for her you'd be effusive in your praise for all things Elon. You hate him now because he left the party of "division and hate." Your cult leaders gave you your new marching orders and you are following them without question. That's what NPC's do.

    They promised they were going to burn government to the ground. Instead, we get another failed presidency.

    If Kamala had won and Elon was working for her he wouldn't be pulling the DOGE shit that he has been under Trump. Although obviously hypothetical assuming that he would actually be serious he would be using the same methodology that Gore used under Clinton's reinventing government initiative. He would have relied on subject matter experts who knew how government agencies actually operated rather than 20 something software engineers with no real knowledge and would have actually studied the agencies to uncover inefficiencies and fraud before cutting.

    You should study pollsters before citing phony approval rating polls. Stick with Rasmussen

    Of course, lying lefty pollsters provide betting opportunities. I have a bet that pays 3:1 that Canada's Liberal party won't get a majority.

    If there hadn’t been a 1/6 insurrection you MIGHT have a leg to stand on. You don’t and although sad it’s ironic. Pathetic and just trolling on your part.

    Why do so many disapprove of him on the Rasmussen poll?

    As usual, you literally have no idea what you are talking about.

    Also, ironic that you brainwashed zombies keep calling out cult leaders. I guess it is the reality of your existence so you attempt to extend it to everyone. Fail.
