     I don't have any idea on the numbers for DOGE.

    Why are you so upset about DOGE? What has DOGE done to you?

No one believes any of the DOGE numbers & why would they open themselves up for a certain lawsuit from Deadbeat Donnie? The country knows DOGE is bullshit & has no power but yet caused chaos because Congress is so fucking weak & now judges are being arrested. Is this the America you want?

    is she as a "judge" "above the law"?

    This liberal "Judge" helped a criminal evade law enforcement and destroy evidence, it is a crime. It is not a "constitutional crisis” to arrest someone who commits a crime—it’s how you restore law and order. 

     

    @Midnight1

     and i am 100% sure there are thousands of more "progressive judges " out there who need to be eliminated because they chose not to follow the law but the rules of the fake  liberal resistance

     Take a deep breath & realize what is happening. There are separation of powers for a reason. Bunker Boy is pushing the limits of his authority & if he goes unchallenged, we are all fucked.

    Muskrat might be the richest person in the world that doesnt make him the smartest.  He gets rid of thousands and thousands of mIRS auditors who actually bring nin 6 dollars for every dollar spent.  Now the IRS is gonna lose staggering amounts of money.  They say it could reach over a trillion dollars in 10 years.

    Awesome job Muskrat an_clap you cut the people that come after all the frigging crooks like you to pay your taxes.  Job well done Muskrat.

    All the maga morons across the country keep believing wanted to be involved in our govt, in order to hep the countryan_roll_laughan_shake

    Another federal judge blocks Trump administration mass firings of government employees. No law gives DOGE authority to engage in mass firings.  Trump is acting outside the law and without approval of congress.  Treasury department expenditures haven't decreased so far despite layoffs.

     Bill Gates accused Elon Musk DOGE of  causing millions of children deaths worldwide because of cuts to vital foreign aid. In contrast, Gates foundation plans to give away $200 billions to help people in the next 20 years.

    According to MSNBC, Senate report reveals that inspector generals outperformed Musk DOGE in finding waste and fraud in government. Trump firing of inspector generals only undermine efforts to save money  for taxpayers. As independent non-partisan professionals, they are far more trustworthy than DOGE.

    Was there really ever any doubt about this? Trump is basically knee capping every agency that really exposes waste, fraud and crimes

    According to Huffpost, frustrated Musk exits government in disgrace with a legacy of hunger, disease and death after cuts to foreign aid.  DOGE became the bogeyman or whipping boy for chaos, destruction and job losses leaving government and Tesla worse off than when he started.  Now Musk complains that republican big bill increase federal deficits and undermine DOGE cost savings.  His efforts have been a big failure and disaster.

     Huffpost reports that another federal judge blocks Trump anti-DEI and anti-LGBTQ orders. Illegal for Trump administration to withhold funds approved by congress. In first term, Trump was impeached for withholding military aid to Ukraine.

    After lawsuit from 19 states, federal judge rules that Trump administration cuts to health department are illegal. No rational basis for Kennedy's reorganizing efforts. No evidence that services to states and access to critical information would continue uninterrupted. No authorization from congress. But mass layoffs would have devastating consequences on the U.S.

    Only a few days after this wave of layoffs, Kennedy admitted that he had inadvertently slashed too many employees and would be reinstating them, though he said that “was always the plan.”

    You have to cut real deep ..to know if you have cut enough."was always the plan."

    Senate subcommittee reports that DOGE has wasted over $21 billion which is greater than proposed spending cuts.  For example, paying 200,000 federal employees not to work for 8 months.  Polls show most Americans disapprove of DOGE now.

    According to many sources DOGE has now been disbanded 8 months before originally planned - according to their own website saving you 250 ish billion dollars in the process - but that is of course with inflated numbers and all the lying included ! The more likely scenario is they have been a significant net negative for you (both in soft power and monetary) - so around of applause for their great work an_clap - atleast you have those checks they promised you on the savings to look forward to thumbs_upnew_poop

    Believe I nailed it, now patting myself on the back.

    My reasoning was, the Dems will throw every lawyer, every judge at this to prevent any success. It's what they do. Plus they burned, damaged, and destroyed Teslas, traded them in for gas guzzling SUV's, and clapped like seals at Tesla stock prices.
