How in the world did the government spending get so far off the tracks? In less than a month Elon will and his 20 year olds will pry 1 trillion dollars out of the politicians cold dead hands. will

Musk has no power.  He advises Trump.   Trump decides to take that advice or not.   You hate musk.   And you hate Trump. We get it.  Take a nap.  It’s liberating.  It’s also out of your control.  Elections matter.  Your party ran a crapola campaign and is responsible for your current anger towards team red.   You didn’t acknowledge or care about the 4 year shyte show your party put the country through.   You defended it.  You condoned it.   The American people didn’t like it and voted the shyte show out of town.  Now you have what you have and it bothers you down in the depths of your soul.   It consumes you.   It’s probably unhealthy for you.   I worry you will have a heart attack.   See a doctor. 

I don’t believe I said most of congress.   Go find and quote that.

Oh, Scouts Honor did. You wingers are all over the place w your answers. Hard to keep track. 

Musk has "no power," huh? Trumps biggest donor that is deciding everything (yah diaper donny claims he has to approve everything, i know). All your credibility is gone with that one statement.

i like to think moderates are good...but i really believe they are why we are where we are right now... allowing all this waste

You believe moderate Republicans and Democrats are responsible for wasteful spending?

And, following through that line of thinking, you think the far right Republicans are the answer to the spending problem?

I'm not judging, just trying to understand your line of thought.

if you need to know anything about the democrats

it's all about grift

they needed a new border bill and with more money and wanted to launder 2 million immigrants a year

all that needed to happen was trump.

I believe you meant to say President Musk.

it's funny that the same people that complain about when i post a tweet in here as a 'scource'

are the same people claiming Elon Musk is making all these decisions b/c he tweets about them. 

[Husker_Du]

my favorite part about this whole thing is that it's another glaring example - perhaps the most shining example - that democrats will go along with any freakin' thing their party tells them to.

add 'massive government taxpayer waste' to the list of things the democrat constituency is willing to accept in the name of their party. 

they won't just accept it - they'll rage on message boards and social media, and college campuses to defend it. foreign waste of taxpayer funds! they're raging in defense of it! twisting themselves in knots!

In prelude to this, there was a thread on these very boards at the inception of the concept of DOGE, in which our resident lefties told us it was unnecessary and stupid. And five months later, when the laundry list of insanity is exposed, they double down on it.

buncha ideologues.

I don't have a xwitter account - I am uninterested in what goes on there. It is a digital swamp. Not a source.

Musk is making the calls because he is making the calls. Doesn't matter if Trump called the first play or not - either way Musk took the ball and ran with it. He left Trump in the dust and Musk is still running.

DOGE is stupid because it allows non-elected actors access to government data and functions without proper oversight.

It's not because it is a Democrat or Republican thing - it's just that is is incredibly effing stupid at a non-partisan level.

And, as they take action, their first order of business is to further decrease any potential oversight. They'll be working in the shadows.

Even the name DOGE should give anyone and everyone pause. The crypto coin that Elon openly manipulated to increase his fortune illegally without any legal implications. Another wealthy white guy getting a free pass.

Even Vivek Ramaswamy was smart enough to get the hell out of that mess when he saw what it really was.

I would encourage everyone to dig into this deeper. Musk is a lot like Trump, both are always on offense and care little about covering their tracks. The truth is out there, if anyone cares enough to look.

How dumb can you be? Even the fox News sheep can see that musk is making the decisions. Do you ever read the news?

Now that's something I would like to see. Cut the fat from our bloated and corrupt military contractors instead of going after federal workers. 

Musk won't do it though. Our military main purpose is to protect the interests of the fat cat corporations, like his.

Explain to me like I am stupid.  What is the non classified data and functions that they have access to and what could they do with it that will harm me?

“According to the Federalist–one of the last truly conservative media sites in America–in an article called Follow the Money: Feds Gave Millions to Left Wing Media Outlets to Politico, New York Times:  “Federal agencies have been funneling millions to leftist media outlets including The Associated Press, Politico, Reuters, The New York Times, The Washington Post, and CNN, according to public grant disclosures. These legacy corporations have fashioned themselves the gatekeepers of  information to the American public. But ever since 2015, when now-President Donald Trump announced his first campaign — and even earlier — they have spewed lie after lie in an attempt to control the political narrative.”“

"Reporters Without Borders (RSF) revealed that USAID funded 6,200 journalists, 707 non-state media outlets, and 279 media-focused NGOs in more than 30 countries in 2023." 

What do the Ukraine media outlets say about Tucker Carlson?

What does the UK Zinc Network say about Vivek Ramaswamy?

Does the US media pick up the stories from those groups?

Would you say that the government is “funneling” money to SpaceX?  The subscriptions to Politico Pro were a business transaction, similar to SpaceX contracts.
