This is how I feel about DOGE, and the Democrats, less profanity... (Page 1/6) 82-T/A [At Work] FEB 05, 08:16 AM I hope you guys watch this, it's basically two minutes long... She's young (probably ~20 at best, maybe younger), but is spot-on with her commentary. https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1887037017361420749 This is exactly how I feel. I question why the Democrats are so resistant to USAID being wrapped into the State Department (which makes complete sense). I suspect that Democrat LEADERS are upset because they know this ends the gravy-train, and they're probably being told to be upset by this from their lobbyist handlers. The Democrat voters probably have no clue, unless they think we really should be wasting money on things that serve no purpose to us? blackrams FEB 05, 09:26 AM Hard for me to understand why USAID wasn't always under the Sec. of State. Way too many ways and opportunities for Reps in the House and Senators to be influenced by countries and industry to assist with where that aid and how much goes and reap the benefits from those nations. We all know Reps and Senators that go to Washington always leave enriched. Yeah, I don't have much trust that they always act in our best interests. Rams cliffw FEB 05, 03:30 PM This news is a revealing and shocking topic. I believe many other revelations will come to light. USAID staffers abroad were told to shut their offices and come home and were laid off along with domestic staffers. They were all locked out of headquarters. To security personal would not allow Elon Musk is and were dismissed. The building was locked up. Then, a large large group of democrat lawmakers tried to gain entry but were denied. Were they trying to hide evidence ? The whack job AOC called Musk the dumbest billionaire she has ever met (she drives a Tesla). She said the people of DOGE were not elected. Pointing out we had an agency, the U.S. Government Accountability Office, which is supposed to do the same function. Newsflash AOC, they were not elected also, as well as all the government alphabet agencies. jdv FEB 06, 08:47 AM So now Musk is being called an illegal immigrant even though he has received his citizenship. steve308 FEB 06, 09:55 AM I'm sure those who are screaming the loudest will be found to have the most to lose when the money trail leads back to them. 82-T/A [At Work] FEB 06, 10:00 AM quote Originally posted by steve308: I'm sure those who are screaming the loudest will be found to have the most to lose when the money trail leads back to them. BINGO... that, or they realize they're the ones that have benefitted most from it. Democrats are totally silent on the Politico thing... anyone else notice that? cliffw FEB 06, 11:23 AM quote Originally posted by 82-T/A [At Work]: Democrats are totally silent on the Politico thing... anyone else notice that? I did, and it was not only Politico. The gall of the Democrats using every taxpayer's money to to benefit them. We could really us a spread sheet to list and sort out all of the outrageous expenditures. blackrams FEB 07, 07:27 AM quote Originally posted by steve308: I'm sure those who are screaming the loudest will be found to have the most to lose when the money trail leads back to them. Can't speak for anyone else but, anyone can see who's making all the noise about what DJT has Musk doing. Following the money seems to be upsetting to a lot of Democratic "Elected" leaders. Come up with your own conclusions. We all have a right to know how and where our tax dollars are spent, some simply don't want the taxpayers to know. I distinctly remember when Biden said his would be the most transparent administration. Rams Raydar FEB 07, 08:59 AM quote Originally posted by blackrams: ...

If this forum ever needed a LOL (laughing out loud) emoji, it occurs to me that it would be appropriate, here. cliffw FEB 08, 11:42 AM quote Originally posted by Raydar: If this forum ever needed a LOL (laughing out loud) emoji, it occurs to me that it would be appropriate, here. Do we have a crying out loud emoji ? More smiles on my face. Democrats Blocked From Entering A Government Agency for 4th Time in 1 Week quote On Monday, congressional Democrats were blocked from entering the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID). The following day, they couldn't get into the U.S. Department of Treasury, and on Thursday Democrats were not able to enter the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The forth attempt at the Department Of Education gave us a new American Hero. My favorite was when Maxine Waters asked the lone security guard to show her his ID. He said he already did. Then she asked him to show it again. He said "No".
