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

[–] WhatSay@slrpnk.net 85 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Digital cultural appropriation

[–] Bumblefumble@lemm.ee 61 points 2 months 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.

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

Just the inevitable transition from the corporate oligarchy of late stage capitalism, to state-capitalist fascist dictatorship.

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.

[–] Asafum@feddit.nl 20 points 2 months 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.

It’s like an absurdity onion.

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...

[–] bobs_monkey@lemm.ee 11 points 2 months ago

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).

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 months ago (4 children)

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

[–] axont@hexbear.net 11 points 2 months ago (1 children)

They're not even creating a new branch because that would require congressional approval. They're just renaming the US Digital Service (the IT department for the feds) to the US Doge service. Probably chose it to keep the acronym the same, USDS. Completely pointless

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

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

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

So much worse but also better to not shitstain the doggo

Gross, AI gen artwork

[–] ShinkanTrain@lemmy.ml 10 points 2 months ago

I guess using stolen AI slop for a logo is efficient

How did they get this approved

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

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

[–] Darkassassin07@lemmy.ca 14 points 2 months ago

Americas citizens voted them into the highest office in the land (either directly or passively).

There is no more 'get this approved'; just 'this is what I've decided, deal with it'.

[–] LePoisson@lemmy.world 21 points 2 months ago

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

Have you seen the Spanish version?

https://www.whitehouse.gov/es/

Edit: nevermind they "fixed" it, it used to say Go Home

[–] ramble81@lemm.ee 9 points 2 months ago

Holy shit. Did you grab a screenshot before they changed it?

[–] davel@lemmy.ml 9 points 2 months ago

Joder.

“Go home” is even worse than

[–] bdonvr@thelemmy.club 9 points 2 months ago

It appears that, before they completely removed the Spanish translation the "Go to home page" button might have been still Spanish and read "Vete a casa"

I dunno if it's intentional or true but it would've been very on the fucking nose.

Genuinely embarrassed to be American.

[–] ohellidk@sh.itjust.works 15 points 2 months ago (1 children)

So ironic. The site does nothing. There's nothing to click on. or any plans/goals. I don't get the joke.

[–] spankmonkey@lemmy.world 15 points 2 months ago

The efficiency is in being an ad for dogecoin on a site paid for by taxpayers!
