D.O.G.E (Department of Government Efficiency) II

The reason I don't factor in warrants and due process with these agencies is because I've only known these terms to be associated with criminal law. They aren't being arrested, they are being defunded and shut down because they are wasteful, incompetent and worst of all, many of them are redundancies of other departments. And it's not that I don't object to profiteering; quite the opposite in fact. All I'm saying is do it right or don't bother doing it at all. Waiting to act until the people with whom you disagree are running things just speaks to the worst partisan behavior.

One of the things that really twists my knob is how rapidly those goons in D.C. turn on each other. Trump was a Democrat for what? 50+ years? Tulsi was a life-long Democrat. So was RFK. I cast my very first vote for one William Jefferson Clinton. In terms of actual votes cast for the presidency, I've voted for a Dem twice and a Repub only once. After that, I started voting third-party and that's where I've been since the 2000 election. So yeah, I could never run for office unless someone creates the Carlin party whose political stances mostly mirror those of the late, great George Carlin. And since Carlin didn't vote at all, you see why this would never work. ;)

Power >>>> party

If there’s been fraud and money laundering, I look forward to the guilty parties being prosecuted fully. As for waste, that certainly sounds like a lot of money to maintain an unused building. I hope we see more details about this as the investigation loaves forward.

This op-ed appeared in the WSJ and is thus behind a pay wall, but here is text of the op-ed.
Op-Ed, Wall Street Journal: Welfare Is What’s Eating the Budget

Some stats from the op-ed:
Means-tested social-welfare spending totaled $1.6 trillion in 2023. Welfare spending now absorbs an astonishing 72.6% of unobligated general revenue.

U.S. today redistributes a larger share of its gross domestic product, 29.4%, through transfers and taxes than any developed country in the world except France with 30.1%.

Since 1967 defense spending has fallen from 68% of unobligated general revenue to 37.2% in 2023,
 
He probably thought it was a joke...possibly an insult.

I can't tell with him. He's on both the spectrum and ketamine so it make it hard to get a read if he's serious, joking, or the space aliens in his head are doing the speaking.

And those are the types who make all the money while the rest of us who actually know when to come in out of the rain, have well above average "walking around" sense are the ones worrying about the price of eggs going up. LOL! Where did I go wrong? :D

Historic Montgomery Bus Station, Freedom Riders Museum part of DOGE-ordered sell-off
The building housing the historic Freedom Riders Museum appears to be part of a DOGE-ordered sell-off of federal properties.

Elon Musk’s DOGE purge now includes the building housing the historic Freedom Rides Museum in Montgomery.

The Montgomery Bus Station, the site where Freedom Riders were attacked by white supremacists in 1961, is owned by the federal government’s General Services Administration. As part of a nationwide cost cutting initiative undertaken by Musk and the newly formed Department of Government Efficiency, a number of federally owned buildings have been listed for sale, including the bus terminal building.
 
Rep Tim Burchett says he’s willing to lose his job to tell us the REAL REASON government officials are opposing Elon Musk and DOGE

“They’re gonna push back because you’ve got Congressmen on both sides of the aisle. If they follow that paper trail, it's going to come back to them. You've got their wife and or girlfriend that works for some agency, quasi-agency or some business. This towns as crooked as a dogs leg”

“I’ll get primaried for saying that but that’s the truth and we all know it”

“Somebody’s gonna straight it out, it looks like it’s gonna be Elon Musk”
