I refused to believe it was real. It's real.

Jesus we're a joke

I’m planning on bringing this department up for discussion any time I talk with a ‘true conservative’ Republican.

Please explain how the best way to improve government efficiency is to establish and staff a new department and give it two leaders.

They've already ousted ramaswamy. The in Fighting is just warming up.

Doge smells a lot like something that could become a Sicherheitsdienst in case Trump goes totalitarian.

"you don't like to work for trump? Looks like your position is no longer a requirement".

I know it's a bit of a stretch, but Elon Hitler is mad enough to act like it.

I mean the whole thing is stupid but your question isn't very hard to answer for them.

"DOGE will cut out more money and bureaucracy than it creates"

And it may well! But what they're gonna cut is the shit that's actually good for people...

I forgot the name, but supposedly there's a department that essentially already exists that serves this function so it's extra stupid.

It’s like an absurdity onion.

Department of Redundancy Department

[–] cannedtuna@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

Yeah but how else are you supposed to ingratiate yourself with your base if you can’t make a joke with the acronym? /s

Apparently Ramaswamy is bailing on DOGE to run for governor in Ohio, leaving Eldolf Muskler all by himself (which I'm not sure what's worse).

Graeber is rotating in his grave like a beyblade

I think musk is getting off on the new throne from which to infuriate the wokerati. He's trolling. I suspect that this won't rate a blip on the list of shitte things this dept does.
