Sounds like someone is butthurt..
And you should be butthurt. And we haven’t even discussed the lost services (or revenue in the case of the IRS). Musk can send a rocket to Mars but proper accounting is a bridge to far apparently. :lol:
In October, Mr Musk pledged to cut "at least $2 trillion" from the federal government budget. He subsequently halved this target and on 10 April talked about making savings of $150bn from "cutting fraud and waste" by the end of the next financial year in 2026.
The US federal budget for the last financial year was $6.75tn.
Doge publishes a running total of its estimated savings on its website - which stood at $160bn the last time the site was updated on 20 April.
However, less than 40% of this figure is broken down into individual savings.
We downloaded the data from the Doge website on 23 April and added up the total claimed savings from contracts, grants and leases.
Our analysis found only about half of these itemised savings had a link to a document or other form of evidence.

From the same media that for 4 years said ‘we missed Biden‘s cognitive decline, it was hid from us‘.. :lol:

160 billion in 100 days. Imagine what DOGE will do in 4 years.. :nod:

IF…it’s 160 billion (might want to read further).

And what are the costs? Even if it were successful what would be the costs that states would have to absotmrb?

What were the promises?

You want me to find non-msm sources? They’re out there too. Not that you’ll allow your cognitive dissonance to accept it.

The MSM get things wrong all the time. All news sources do. But it’s not as if Biden’s decline was a secret until the debate.

I’ll put tge NYT, WaPo, Atlantic, etc up against the accuracy and propaganda of Red State, End Wokeness, Libs of Tik Tok or anything Musk controls all day and every day.

Any rational person would.

IOW’s deflect as you wish but you’re flat out wrong here.

The End.

That's a two-way street and means trump and all of the MAQA yahoo sycophants who parroted him have lost the last shred of credibility they had left after lying about the 2020 election being stolen for several years.

This includes his cabinet and doge so we can just dismiss any claims they make. :coffee:

CNN & the MSM continue to prove they are the enemy of the people by platforming terrorists.

“Say, Mr. Bin Laden, tell us how you feel about people calling you a terrorist after 9/11,' and 'What's your message to George W. Bush?“

And probably not the answer she was looking for:
What's your message to Donald Trump, if he's watching this?"

"My respect. According to him, he's looking out for his people. But the problem is the consumers," he replies. "If there weren't any [American] consumers, we would stop."

This is you and all of MAGA right now:
Trump officially entered the psychotic emperor phase. He’s not coming back. The Pope image was it. That was the line. He crossed it and kept walking.

This isn’t trolling anymore. This is clinical delusion. The tariffs on movies. Reopening Alcatraz. These aren’t policies. This is a man deep in a psychotic loop thinking revenge is leadership and trolling is governance.

He’s in a feedback loop with his cult. Every time he does something more insane, MAGA cheers louder. And every cheer convinces him he’s still the chosen one. So he takes it further. And further.

He’s not trying to win. He’s trying to feel worship. He’s not making decisions. He’s playing dress-up in his own hallucination.

And the worst part? His cult loves it. Because they’re broken like him. Because in their minds, every delusion he has is another way to “own the libs.”

This is the loop now. The psychotic, delusional, final act. And MAGA is clapping along like it’s a church revival. No one’s driving the bus anymore. They’re just throwing gasoline and screaming kumbaya and Hallelujah.

You still don’t understand the legal argument. The state must provide due process in order to determine illegality. It’s a foundational principle of our entire system of government.

I’d use your dunce emoji here but it would be inadequate for this level of willful ignorance and stupidity.

News flash….humans evolved thanks to community and caring for the sick and starving. One of our big leaps forward toward civilization lies in the archaeological evidence of skeletons showing signs of surviving wounds. Which means someone tended their wound, likely provided food while healing, etc.

Not to mention our use of soft power to obtain strategic goals and maintain alliances. China is kicking our ass at this.
Or the use of vaccines in the third world to prevent contagious diseases from reaching our shores and/or pandemics.

Or for fucks sake, to simply do the right thing. Why are you opposed to doing the right thing?

But, but, but the Constitution is inconvenient here. We should be able to ignore it for due process but we should adhere to it strictly for the right to bear arms.

If an immigrant who crosses the border without the proper paperwork is an illegal immigrant, is a president who has been convicted of 34 felonies an illegal president? :D
