Elections DOGE is formed

[BFoe]

I am always amazed at taxpayers getting upset that government spending and waste are targeted to be reduced.

You'd think everyone would be behind it, except the bureaucrats and Big Government types

Waste and fraud wasn’t targeted to be reduced though.

Firstly, DOGE did no analysis whatsofuckingever as to what was wasteful or could be made more efficient. None. Musk sent out an email asking everyone in the government to let him know what they accomplished the previous week, and if he (with his zero government experience) felt it wasn’t accomplish-y enough, they were fired.
—Then they were all sent home to sit on their ass with pay, and eventually the government realized “holy shit, these people aren’t wasteful, they actually do jobs” and hired them all back.

Most of these contracts that were cancelled just result in the money going right back to the agency in question to be spent some other way, since they are mandated to spend the money by law.

And thirdly, any of these attempts mean absolutely jack shit when Trump and GOP pass a bill that’s going to add 3.5-5 trillion to the debt in the next decade.

DOGE was a failure when it came to eliminating fraud or waste, but they never really tried anyway. They existed to pinch pennies to offset massive tax cuts for the wealthy, to steal our personal info, and to target agencies that were investigating Musk.

International Post in thread 'Department of Homeland Security Official X account operating from Tel Aviv, Israel'

Nov 24, 2025

You got fake news'd by some Indian dude on a fake news site. Official government accounts have a gray check and those never showed location.

Head of product at X already said it was a fake.

I believe X only shows countries and non cites, so Tel Aviv ...

LOL at this epic fail of a thread.

You post so many screen shots of Twitter posts, when I see your name, I think oh yeah, the Twitter guy. Just like @cottagecheesefan will always be the Kari Lake is Pulling ahead guy.
(Also if I incorrectly misgendered either one of you, then I apologize in advance, but its safe to assume that if you are posting on Sherdog, there is a 98.69% chance you are a dude)

Its funny after finding out Baldy Pool, Benny Johnson and countless others got busted taking money from Russian and now handles like, Trumpisfuckingawesome2028, are located in places like Nigeria, Russia, Bangladesh, etc, it seems you are still the Twitter guy. I deleted Twitter awhile ago, because it is a cesspool filled with gaslighting turds. Now that it is a propaganda device for foreigners to divide this country, no way in hell am I going to re-install Twitter.

I imagine many things about the world seem amazing to a cro-magnon man

Aren't we all cro-magnon descendents? Basically the first humans that migrated into Europe until they depleted their resources and had a population crash? This comparison seems to be more insulting to them than to @SurferH2O ...

Spoiler

Sorry bro

 

[LangfordBarrow]

Yeah... because the U.S.A. doesn't have much fraud, waste, and abuse in Federal spending... you dumb Muppet.

Right now it's mostly in the Executive Branch...

 

[LangfordBarrow]

... When I brought that solution to the DOE bureaucrats, they freaked out... that was 3 years ago... now they are mostly all gone, and it warms my heart. What a waste they were. That is just one example. I have many others.

While you're at it bring me a beer.

 

[SurferH2O]

Right now it's mostly in the Executive Branch...

Except that all spending bills originate where?

The internet in general is a great resource but some people tend to use it to reinforce their own beliefs rather than to educate themselves.

I would if I get one too... but it's 10 am here.

You should have heard the radio silence of 60+ bureaucrats when I told them Earned Value should be 100% automated and that I could show them how American Electric Power already did it for all of its vendors. They refused to see the demonstration of it live.

We need to spend money. The problem is fraud and waste and Trump is King in that regard at least.

Waste and fraud were cut. I watched it firsthand at the U.S. Department of Energy, and I am sure bureaucrat cuts like what I witnessed happened all over the Fed Gov.

Just because you want it to be so doesn't make it true. The bureaucracies are filled with waste, fraud, and abuse, and have been for decades. Watching all those NGOs go away was awesome too.

 

[Limbo Pete]

Ook! Ook! Me make fire! Big noise bad! Aaaah!

So, the U.S.A. doesn't have much fraud, waste, and abuse in Federal spending?

Is that your claim?

Yea X/ Twitter, my algorithm is about 10% sports I’d say, 20 % politics/ news and 70 % work and research. It’s a great multi media platform for all of those.

Yea lot of BS accounts on there , bots and trolls. While I’m scrolling at work and see a subject like today the Georgia Trump thing , I’ll link and post it on here or send to a few friends.

But it is a cess pool in a way not like Reddit tho, or a rabbit whole like YouTube in the sense of just a one sided narrative like flat earthers ect .. X I like you can watch videos, embed news stories or just get someone’s opinion. I never post stuff or retweet on there, none of that crap, never leave a comment or argue with people either. I used it even when it was getting really censured for woke things and Covid,

it’s useful. In Afghan we had a base attack with suicide car trying to breach a wall, there was gun fighting off and on for 10 hours. It was close to my room 200 meters. I had no clue if they got on base or not and I used Twitters latest posts, looking up key words to see the latest news. Found out they didn’t make it on base but took over a hospital next to the base wall.
. I got more stories like that why it’s been useful, it’s really good in other counties I think, to find information, Google is good somewhat with search engine optimization and one sided bias it kind of sucks in different ways, DuckDuckGo is ok and I’m not saying X replaces those.

So DOGE wasn't a massive failure considering what its initial target goals were, the amount of times they had to be corrected on their falsified cuts and savings when fact checked, the firings they were responsible for that then had to be rehired anyways including extra fees from taxpayers due to lawsuits and backpay...

Theres a lot to say about DOGE. Dismantled funds to meal on wheels, cancer research, first time in social security history people missed payments....

In the end, deficit went up thanks to BBB, Kristi noems jets, Trumps weekly golf and ufc trips....give me a break about that bs about wanting to cut fraud, waste, abuse.

There is fraud waste abuse in the bureaucracies of the government. But for you to think DOGE was a success, or the Executive branch aren't rife with fraud waste abuse....no one takes your claim seriously.

They weakened regulations and over sight.
Here in Florida, I guess Bezo's donated to Casey Desantis's Charity. If you want something done in Florida you donate to Casey's charity. It is sad because when Meatball Ron, started he was pro in protecting the environment, but the Ron was not a rich guy before taking office, now he is rich and willing to take a dump down the throat of a Bald Eagle as long as the check to Casey's charity clears.

Blue Origin renews permit to dump 500k gallons of wastewater into Indian River

Environmentalists have started a petition to the agreement.

mynews13.com

Before I was married I used to fish that river a lot. Now Bezo's gets to dump a ton of wastewater in there everyday, all the while Brevard county is trying to raise money to clean up the river.
This is what DOGE was set up to do. Let the Elite poison the planet, make our children work at the company store, and die while working the assembly line, while those same Elite, get robots to do everything and no jobs in the future, just setting up a Monarchy of sorts, with their offspring owning everything and our children having no shot at the American dream.
All those Elite dudes had to do is buy all US media and dupe the middle class into letting them get away with it.
