That’s actually Trump protecting Musk and enabling him to continue his work.
I think that is the main objective of DOGE right now:
Shame Congress with lists of examples of obscene waste and fraud
Report a blow by blow of embarrassing findings directly to the American people
Do it early so cabinet heads can wash their hands of it.
I hope Trump directs cabinet heads to present to the public their preferred budget plans side-by-side with congressional spending appropriations - to make it clear going forward that any continuation of absurd and obscene misappropriations are NOT being made according to the wishes of the Trump Administration - let the people decide which budget approach they want - DOGE, or business as usual.
There you go.
Congress gets a boot in the ass from Trump from this.
I think the digging into the State Department has a lot to do with it.
Lindsay Graham sure has come around...
I know Bannon had a sh!t fit about Elon’s ties with China a year or so ago. (And rightfully so.) I have a feeling that it has morphed into jealousy, as you say.
Post office is already a inefficient monopoly nothing in the Constitution says it can’t be restructured to be efficient or privatized so long as it still serves the public.
Privatized only if under the federal government’s control, as I read the Constitution. It is highly unionized, so could be challenging to get to even that, I’d think.
Not federal government’s control only under the rules of the sale so they can take it back if needed.
Union hove no options when a company is sold they are out of business there.
But outsourcing?
Troll opinion you say.
I’ve been here since 2002 pal.
Yes no problem
“I’ve assumed all along that Musk only made recommendations, and DOGE didn’t do the deed. Guess I was wrong.”
No, you were wrong that you were wrong.
Despite Musk’s claims (which don’t bother me in the least), DOGE couldn’t and can’t take executive actions like firing people, cancelling contracts, etc. - but those thing can and were done at the direction of the President.
If you believe Politico (or otherwise), I’ve got some prime oceanfront property in Arizona to sell you.
