There is a DOGE page. you can actually read up on it if are curious. If there is nothing to hide.... Well if you are really curious then why haven't you read up on it to give an informed opinion?
The DOGE page that just recently got hacked and had an insecure database? Color me not impressed.

Also nice flooding my inbox with all the quotes. Good grief.
Simple questions...
Should the most qualified person get a job regardless of race?
Should people be forced to pay for something their great grandparents did?
Are children under 14 sexual?
Are there more than 2 genders?
Should race or gender be a deciding factor in a court of law?

Yes. This is common sense. And I’ve always argued for it. Hell Im even for blind first round interviews where a candidate and interviewer must be separated by a screen so no rash judgements can be made and bias is tampered down. You only can judge based on knowledge and responses.

No. I never have been a fan of repetitions.

No. Of course not. We’ve evolved beyond that as a society due to increased lifespans and more stable and organized societies. However when life spans we’re in the 30s, society functioned a lot differently for survival.

Personally? No. Men are men and women are women. However, that can be a loaded question depending on setting and who is asking. Biological sex and gender are technically two different things. Science says that. From the American Medical Association:

Sex refers to the biological differences between males and females. Gender refers to the continuum of complex psychosocial self-perceptions, attitudes, and expectations people have about members of both sexes

No. Race and gender should not be a contributing factor in a court of law. However, we know thats not true as there is a larger conviction rate for men and black Americans. And anyone with a brain knows the only color that matters in America is green.


See? I can answer simple questions with yes or no.

LOL. Please defend $50M for condoms to Gaza? Go.

At first, all we got from liberals was that this DOGE pursuit was evil and dangerous, with no recognition of the waste, abuse, and ridiculousness. They acted like going after USAid was pathetic, because our debt is so big and those dollars are low, not realizing that the average taxpayer does not want to have their money spent on crazy and irrelevant. Now, we get the generalized “I am against abuses in spending,” without any specific acknowledgement of a discovered abuse, because they either secretly agree with the spending or are afraid to point to any particular discovery for fear that they get crossways with the cult.

You make some good points, but have to point out that just in the last 8 years both parties have controlled Presidency and one or both houses of Congress, e.g., Repubs held House last two years, before 2024.

So how come Congress has not looked at these programs and eliminated wasteful spending before now? It is not like every thing that DOGE has uncovered were things that were being fraudulently hidden from our elected representatives. I understand Musk is for ending the F35 fighter, which has been a gigantic money suck for years and years and apparently still doesn't reliably work. I would love to understand why Congress can't do its damn job and cut spending.

Why this, why that? Why is congress lame, corrupt, stupid?

Right now, why can't you just be GD happy the DOGE effort is being done (and by extraordinarily competent people)? Yes, we want an America first congress too, and we're working on it. That is a key MAGA goal.

The current effort is focusing on Executive branch entities which the President has authority over. Anything called out in congressional legislation is accommodated per the law.

I don't get it. Everybody should be on board with this. We're approaching $40T debt. If we don't want the country to collapse, it is essential.

Yet your radical left demo☭rat leaders who control your party are totally against it! This reinforces the idea that the left wants to destroy the country as founded and create the DEI "equity" hell hole they openly call for. I believe them! I assume that you want this too since you vote for these bastards.

I think congress is in on the grift in a big way, but DOGE HAS uncovered things that were being fraudulently hidden from our elected representatives who were searching for truth. We've seen numerous examples of the unelected bureaucracy stonewalling to withhold information requested by the House and Senate. The bureaucracy thinks they are in charge, and they apparently have been to a large degree. And the insane, anti-American pRoGrEsSiVe ideology is their driving principle. Just look what is being funded. Jesus Christ.

The numerous examples of fraud, waste, and abuse uncovered so far is unbelievable.

I'd prefer this be a bipartisan effort for the sake of America. But if demo☭rats want to keep it hidden, I hope it leads to the total destruction of their filthy party.

Keep up the obstruction. The American people are watching, and we're mad as Hell.
 
You're mad as hell because that's your gimmick. People just want to live their lives without conflict and drama. No one wants to stay perpetually mad and ready to fight the next boogeyman over and over. It's exhausting. You pretended to be mad from 2016-2020 when Trump was POTUS, you pretended to be mad from 2020-2024 when Biden was POTUS, and you're going to pretend to be mad the next four years with Trump as POTUS again, Elon as his shadow, and Vance doing his best young Donald impersonation.

Also, this is a message board, it's not a battlefield. You sound as if you're cosplaying a general before a war lol. No one takes you seriously with the THE LEFT IS FILTH AHHHHH jargon you repeat weekly. Good lord man. Put on some music, get on a treadmill, and relieve some stress.

Dear @Tskware and @Nightwish84,

DOGE is happening whether you like it or not. The majority of Americans support it. Trump campaigned on it and voters voted for it.

The results are ALL being released. We now have channels of communication to provide full transparency to the American people. We're no longer limited to USAID taxpayer funded leftist media propaganda. Your party's radicals can slow it down and hope to cover their tracks, but it will be done with or without you.

Hard for anyone to expect any administration to do anything about inflation in three weeks.

And, tbh, I don't have a problem with the goal of DOGE which is to identify programs and funding that can and should be cut. I just wish Musk/Trump weren't taking the Bull in the China Shop approach (probably wishful thinking on my part given Trumps past history) including a bunch of stuff that has been stopped by Judges, at least so far.

If DOGE would identify specific items (which it has) and present it to Congress for action, e.g., disbanding USAID or folding it into the State Dept, and then let Congress do its job (probably even more wishful thinking on my part), I personally would welcome the effort. Reps and Trump won the election, they have the votes, I don't know why they don't just run it through Congress and pass some legislation adopting recommendations from DOGE.
I have no problem with executive orders wiping out previous executive orders.

I also don't trust congress to cut funding that ends up giving them kickbacks. They've had plenty of chances to reign in the waste, but they just keep wasting more taxpayer money that goes to organizations lining their pockets and campaign funds. Both if the major parties are guilty of this.

Pruning is good, it leads to more healthy growth in the future. If a few healthy branches needs to be trimmed to create a stronger main trubk them so be it.

Couldn't agree more, both parties have put spending on autopilot for decades now, once a program starts (e.g., the F35 I mentioned earlier) it seems to acquire everlasting life. At some point, we are going to have to look at medicare and SS as well, if you really want to get to something close to a balanced budget, there is too much money spent there not to adjust some benefits (even Nikki Haley said the same in the Republican debates).

OK. So you are falling for propaganda then,.. What is being done is akin to making those things more normal in government. We weren't doing those things. So you say you agree with me on that yet you are opposing it because of who did it.


I remember the outrage when Yellen revealed that China had hacked the Treasury dept. There were dozens of post on this board begging for something to be done. I'm sure you were outraged when that was so widely reported.... Right
https://apnews.com/article/china-hacking-treasury-department-8942106afabeac96010057e05c67c9d5

WASHINGTON (AP) — Chinese hackers remotely accessed several U.S. Treasury Department workstations and unclassified documents after compromising a third-party software service provider, the agency said Monday.

The department did not provide details on how many workstations had been accessed or what sort of documents the hackers may have obtained, but it said in a letter to lawmakers revealing the breach that “at this time there is no evidence indicating the threat actor has continued access to Treasury information.” The hack was being investigated as a “major cybersecurity incident,” it added.

This is why lots of us have zero respect for you. You spout your opinion without doing any homework. It's your whole schtick. You tell people "don't read", "don't watch podcast", "don't watch the news", "don't watch live press conferences".... It's wild that you act intellectually superior when you don't know anything and are hilariously uncurious about anything.... yet you constantly give your opinion without even looking into it first.

How about this.... Instead of doing one of (get on a treadmill or listen to music)... How about you put on a podcast while you are on the treadmill... That's what I do. Or how about instead of listening to the same song for 100th time while you are driving to work... find a news outlet you trust and listen to current event.

Is this good use of taxpayer money? Would you rather we stop looking or take the pain now and uncover all the waste fraud and abuse we can find while the wound is open?
 
Bill Kristol, well known far right extremist, was getting USAID money. I don't care that he was "on my side of the aisle". Tax dollars shouldn't go to partisans on either side. So I'm glad Bill got his funding pulled.

Lol, I guess this guy missed this......

House Republicans released a budget plan Wednesday that sets the stage for advancing many of President Donald Trump's top domestic priorities, providing for up to $4.5 trillion in tax cuts and a $4 trillion increase in the debt limit so that the U.S. can continue financing its bills.

 


6 minute video on the pentagon failing an audit. John Stewart is a far left guy. I agree with him on this so I agree we should audit the Pentagon and find out where trillions of dollars went. The lady in this sounds like Nightwish by saying we don't understand and should just quit asking about "where'd our money go?"... LOL. Nightwish will love this video for the opposite reason I love it.

Here is Bill Clinton cutting spending and reforming government. People opposed Clinton on many things but I don't remember a single person opposing him on this. I'm sure there were some but they were drowned out by the vast majority who knew we needed to cut government.

You think DOGE is a new thing don't you? You are literally so uninformed that you think Trump just created DOGE from scratch. LOL. Dude. You have to read something at some point in your life.




All he did was rename an existing office created under Obama. Elon isn't even being paid and Trump is donating his pay to charity. IF you are going to pretend to be a libertarian then at least be offended by excess more than the cutting. They are going to audit the Pentagon soon and i'll bet you find a way to oppose that too on "libertarian" principles... LOL

Here are some the most insane waste of tax dollars. These shouldn't be controversial to anyone.... either side and all sides should agree this is just a waste.

Here are some of the most criticized and potentially wasteful USAID funding examples based on the available information:

  1. Meals to Al Qaeda-Linked Groups:
  2. Support for EcoHealth Alliance:
    • USAID gave $5 million to EcoHealth Alliance, known for its controversial bat virus research at the Wuhan lab.
  3. Iraqi "Sesame Street" (Ahlan Simsim Iraq):
    • Approximately $20 million was spent on producing an Iraqi version of "Sesame Street."
  4. DEI Initiatives in Serbia:
    • $1.5 million was allocated to promote diversity, equity, and inclusion in Serbian workplaces.
 


Or how about this. People are acting offended at the deportations happening. Over 53% of deportees have been convicted of felonies. over 90% have had at least 2 deportation orders. Why are people opposed to deporting felons and people who have been told they need to leave?
 


I don't remember anyone being mad at Obama over this. Best thing he did actually. I don't like him but I can agree that cutting waste is a good thing. Why do so many people hate Obama?
 


US taxpayer dollars were going to be spent on the following items, all which have been cancelled: - $10M for "Mozambique voluntary medical male circumcision"- $9.7M for UC Berkeley to develop "a cohort of Cambodian youth with enterprise driven skills"- $2.3M for "strengthening independent voices in Cambodia"- $32M to the Prague Civil Society Centre- $40M for "gender equality and women empowerment hub"- $14M for "improving public procurement" in Serbia- $486M to the “Consortium for Elections and Political Process Strengthening,” including $22M for "inclusive and participatory political process" in Moldova and $21M for voter turnout in India- $29M to "strenghening political landscape in Bangladesh"- $20M for "fiscal federalism" in Nepal- $19M for "biodiversity conversation" in Nepal- $1.5M for "voter confidence" in Liberia- $14M for "social cohesion" in Mali- $2.5M for "inclusive democracies in Southern Africa"- $47M for "improving learning outcomes in Asia"- $2M to develop "sustainable recycling models" to "increase socio-economic cohesion among marginalized communities of Kosovo Roma, Ashkali, and Egypt"
