nobody 2,555 Posted February 12 What if DOGE finds so much waste that we end up cutting the deficit which results in the value of the dollar going up which means Trump came institute any tariffs he wants and the dollar value will offset the big scary price increases? They won't find that much waste and the grifters in congress won't allow it anyway, but dare to dream. Oh wait... China would just continue to manipulate their currency to gain the upper hand in trade again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KSB2424 3,148 Posted February 12 I just cannot fathom how a person who was not elected, but hired by someone elected has access to my social security number that was assigned to me by the administrative arm of the federal government. How does anyone hired by the government know my social security number and other information? Only the POTUS and other elected officials should have my SSN!@#! Y'all some either naive or dumb mofos.

You would have to be a total moron to believe that Musk’s team can cut the annual deficit in half by simple common sense accounting. I get that @Horseman believes it because it’s clear that he IS a moron. Perhaps you are as well; I’m not sure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KSB2424 3,148 Posted February 12 (edited) Millions of people file Federal Income Taxes every year. You literally give your SSN, W2, 1099, how much your house is worth, your rental properties, if you cashed out any investment accounts etc. ALL to the federal government. Of which 99% are workers, not "elected", but hired. But NOW you are concerned? WTF? I'm dead. Edited February 12 by KSB2424 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I forgot to add that they now wholly own and support the domestic spying abuses that Eric Snowden revealed. Trump, like other awful fascists in history before him, promotes limiting/reducing the size and reach of his government, deregulation. opening the books on fraud, and abuse, stops spying on citizens, and not putting political opponents in jail.

Horseman 2,353 Posted February 12 14 hours ago, TrailGuy said: Edward Coristine, a 19-year-old member of Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), launched an image-sharing website in 2021 that featured custom “shitposting” web addresses that redirected to content hosted on his site. URLs that redirected to Coristine’s site referenced the sale of child sexual abuse material, racial slurs, and rape. Among the links were “child-porn.store” and “kkk-is-cool.club,” according to web traffic tracked by BuiltWith. Only the best Did they have an asss cancer section? Also, link?

As has been true for a long time......Democrats are actually doing the things they accuse others of doing. The Democrats have been engaged in something called soft fascism.

The Real timschochet 6,390 Posted February 12 I think that for the time being I’m going to stop criticizing Musk here. Let’s see where this goes. I honestly don’t mind cutting waste out of government so long as it done thoughtfully and legally; I suspect in both cases it isn’t. But I also suspect that almost all of what is happening here is performative. So I’m going to leave this alone unless there are further confrontations between Trump and the judges- that part interests me. Let’s revisit this in 6 months and evaluate.

All I need to see is what's happening right now. Democrats are absolutely furious... NOT at the actual programs being targets (i.e., trans operas and such), but the groups (i.e. USAID). This tells me that they don't care where the actual money is going, but how it's getting there. It tells me that there's even more than what we know about. I also see the Republicans very quiet. If they were on the side of stopping this, they'd be all gung ho in criticizing and pointing specific bills and whatnot, that had ear marks they don't like. But they're mum. That tells me that they're just as guilty. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

How do you think elon will harm you or the country doing what hes doing Because Elon is not a civil servant nor is he elected. Has never shown any interest in helping anyone but himself. He's the richest man in the world and wants to become richer. He gets rich off government contracts so having him nosing around and stealing government data only invites corruption and conflict of interest. Because he's not a serious person, he's all about the memes and 3rd grade humor. He gives nazi salutes, posts nazi memes, supports the nazi party in Germany. He's a weird dude who is obsessed with the letter X to the point where he named one of his kids X. He disowned another kid for being trans. He's got close ties to China. He lies all the time. Fake hair. That's for starters. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
