Well, that sucks. Whether you've got a new vacuum to show off, a big loss to mourn, or simply encounter an inconvenience, put it here.

It doesn't seem to have a logo anymore (at least not when I open it)

Canonical link pointing to x.com? That's peculiar.

That means doge.gov site will be treated as ~~equal to~~ a duplicate of x.com/doge. That doesn't seem like a very governmental approach...

"The people" voted against Trump. More people voted for Kamala or a third party than voted for Trump.

[–] AnonomousWolf@lemm.ee 6 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Trump got more votes than anyone other single person.

That's how the US election works, the single person with the most votes win.

The people who didn't vote for Kamala or Trump wasted their votes. Unfortunately that's how the broken "first past the ballot" system works in the US.

America knows how the system works, they chose him.

Hell tens of millions don't even care enough to go vote.

It sounds like you think you're arguing with anything I said which is weird because you're not

I hate that this meme and dog has become associated with crypto, Elon Musk and Republicans.

[–] HiddenLayer555@lemmy.ml 17 points 16 hours ago

Shiba Inus don't deserve to be associated with fascism.

Digital cultural appropriation

[–] Bumblefumble@lemm.ee 58 points 2 days ago

First they came for Pepe, but I didn't speak up cause I didn't post Pepe memes. Then they came for Twitter. But I didn't speak up cause I wasn't on Twitter. Then they came for my Doge, but there was no one left to speak for me.

Or some more smart joke like that.

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.

[–] PlantDadManGuy@lemmy.world 2 points 3 hours ago

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

[–] SirQuackTheDuck@lemmy.world 3 points 4 hours ago

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.

[–] bdonvr@thelemmy.club 16 points 2 days ago

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...

[–] Asafum@feddit.nl 19 points 2 days ago (1 children)

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

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.

[–] karashta@lemm.ee 62 points 2 days ago (5 children)

Nothing more efficient than creating an entire quasi governmental branch of bureaucracy to oversee the bureaucracy

[–] ramble81@lemm.ee 42 points 2 days ago (2 children)

The main whitehouse.gov site removed the Constitution page from it.

[–] HiddenLayer555@lemmy.ml 4 points 16 hours ago* (last edited 16 hours ago)

I REALLY don't get this one. Aren't the alt right obsessed with patriotism shit? Why would they remove the constitution? Then again I'm not American so I don't know the nuances.

[–] __nobodynowhere@lemm.ee 25 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Constitution? Where we're going we don't need constitutions!

[–] steal_your_face@lemmy.ml 24 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (4 children)

Seems they changed the logo

[–] ShinkanTrain@lemmy.ml 10 points 1 day ago

I guess using stolen AI slop for a logo is efficient

[–] HootinNHollerin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 14 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

So much worse but also better to not shitstain the doggo

Efficiency.

[–] LoamImprovement@beehaw.org 12 points 1 day ago

Gross, AI gen artwork

The level of cringe, I don't know if the world can handle it.

How did they get this approved

[–] davel@lemmy.ml 46 points 2 days ago

They don’t need anyone’s approval. They’re in charge. This is a flex.

Genuinely embarrassed to be American.
