Drill Baby Drill...the US Politics Thread (Part 3)

I think we may be seeing the real issue at hand…DOGE was a complete and utter failure on its own terms. Where it cut, the savings were trivial in terms of the overall budget, but massively impacted services and productivity. Whether that is because of incompetence (an overinflated view of his own genius that causes him to underestimate the complexity of problems he knows little about) or that it was all a shell game allowing him to do something else while getting all this government access, what people are realizing is that it did fuck all to the budget. This break up seems likely just a way to put the blame on Trump rather than have to face up to his project not delivering what was promised.

I think the other dynamic is that the sheer incompetence of DOGE was creating massive blowback (for the reasons you outline). It was becoming very clear that Trump was happy to let Musk be the scapegoat, and allow other WH figures to target him

Musk’s people have infiltrated everything at this point. What potentially does he now know about most everyone, and will they be prepared if he decides to release information on them.

Universities are better places for education and the pursuit of knowledge if we force them to employ people who are ideologically committed to the same dumb ideas I pretend to have.

Dude looks like a terrorist to me.

Guess they’re going with the ol’ “Takes one to know one,” ideology.

Seems this is unfortunately the only way one can gain his respect. By doing excessive unexpected damage. Europe should take note when it comes to negotiations.

Trump: Deadline for Russia sanctions is on my brain. We will be very tough. It could be on both countries.

Shouldn’t he worry day and night that he has some kind of horrific and occult spiritual disease, hitherto unknown to man, that is exceptionally contagious ?

If I were him, I would be terrified of the possible metaphysical implications. I would probably start believing in the soul and seek to purify my own.
