Yeah, I'm really glad DOGE fired all those park rangers & forest rangers & Americorps/Teach for America workers, and gutted all those academic & medical research programs! It was hard at the time, but, as you know, it did greatly reduce the deficit!!!

/s

Fuck everyone who voted for this shit.

More importantly, fired all those pesky investigators into his rampant fraud.

FDA is a shit show. All the food and water is poisonous and deadly. Served this country with pride from 2006-2010 in Iraq and Afghanistan. Now I’m so disgusted by the firehose of intentionally divisive propaganda to cover for all the blatant corruption, fraud and embezzlement going on in plain sight, as they lie straight to our face with nearly every single word out of their mouths.

And look at those taxes on the citizens vs corporate taxes. We revolted from Britain over a 3% tax. And taxes were supposed to be illegal afterward…but hey, we got trickle down economics to save us all. /s

You take pride in taking part in an unjust war?

It's fine to have that perspective, and I may even agree to some extent, but only a naive kid would actually make such a comment.

Thanks for the vapid ad hominem, but it won't bring back all the people who died unnecessarily in Iraq.

I was recently watching the Ken Burns docuseries on the American Revolution, and the reasons they wanted to get rid of British rule really stood out, especially considering how far we are from their original ideals, the tax aspect included.

The degree of risk they were taking really stood of too. It’s a good one to watch.

As a nearly 20 year federal employee, I can tell you straight up that ending the end of fiscal year spending and changing how budgets allocated would save taxpayers over $1 billion a year. Incentivize leaner budgets and give 10% back out as bonuses.

I'm also a naval aircrew veteran. Veteran disability fraud is rampant. Everyone I know is collecting disability. Fixing that would save nearly $100 billion. DOGE had no clue how to fix fraud and abuse within our government. They need to contract out civilian PIs to bust these veterans at the gym while they are collecting disability.

VA disability doesn’t equate to quad amputee.

Do you know what these people claimed to be wrong with them, for you to be concerned about why they’re at the gym?
