Doge -+ What the Hell Happened?
3/21/2026 | Me

Posted on 03/21/2026 8:49:05 PM PDT by Mount Athos

So Elon Musk and crew found truly epic amounts of and fraud. Finally an opportunity to shrink government and reduce corruption and the deficit.

Then congress shot it right down. Even the Republicans mostly voted against it

What the hell was that? Was there ever a coherent explanation? No further attempts, just dead forever?

What was the plan to fix this sort of thing now, just everyone moved on? No further discussion, no second try, just a giant finger to the voters and country.

Help me understand

The voters just can’t face the truth: People go into politics in order to become rich off taxpayer money.

Good post. Some of the details in your post are new to me, and go a long way to confirming what I did know. Thanks.

***the communist-Islamist cabal***

i.e.: Deep State, as noted. Probably includes your Congress person or Senator - โ“

When Maduro was abducted from Venezuela, the key to international election fraud was revealed and especially the U.S. 2020 election steal coup d'etat. Maduro sat in on many of the "cabal's" planning sessions, likely even including the CoViD world wide population control weapon of mass destruction.

2020 was intended to be the beginning of the end for the United States, as was the election(s) of Obama and Hillary previously. It is spiritual warfare over who will control the outcome of the Apocalypse. Prez Trump is determined to document it all at the proper time - the Lord's time!

The Lord of Hosts is on 'our side'. We need to sign on and pray. ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™

***about the Kraken is that they spoke up publicly BEFORE we got the testimony of over a dozen Venezuelan engineers who did the elections thefts through the Smartmatic source code inserted into Dominion and other election systems***

Perfect evidence of the 'steal' fell in our laps immediately following the 2020 election in Antrim County, Michigan. The vote totals were so predictable that the fraud was blatantly exposed. The FBI and Dominion swept in, confiscated all the evidence, including the machine. Dominion then instituted $1 billion lawsuits against Sydney Powell and any media companies that even hinted at fraud. Many judges were brought in as well as legions of 'crooked' politicians - to hopefully seal up the evidence of the '2020 steal'.

And now you know what the Mar-a-Lago raid was all about.

Our elections have been compromised for some decades. Many elected “officials” are frauds and involved in various grifts, including interactions with monied lobbyists. Politics attracts sociopaths.

With the help of USAID (cough, cough Deep State), Venezuela and its communist-Islamist co-conspirators (Cuba, China, Russia, Serbia, and Iran) got Dominion into all of the US swing states and into 72 other countries. Theyโ€™ve been stealing elections in the US since 2008.

Yes, and the name “Dominion” is pretty darn arrogant also. They are taking dominion over countries that are supposed to be ruled by the people.

Better question is “what didn’t happen”?

No. What happened was a bunch of tech bros who didn’t understand what they were looking at said everything they didn’t understand was fraud, developed proof, did nothing that would help trace it if it was fraud, and then the dog and pony show (doge and pony show) ended. And the world moved on. DOGE was a scam. Filled with sound and fury and signifying nothing.

Sure thing Mr Shouty. meanwhile, back in reality, it’s 100% true. Which we know you know because all you did was insult.

Actually most of their outrage was 100% accurate. They were outraged randos with no security clearance were given full access to every government database (which means everything the government knows about YOU) with no guidance. And then started yelling about fraud when they clearly just didn’t understand the data.

DOGE did what DODGE could do. It identified problems and where they could be corrected without legislation Rubio (USAID cuts!) and others (Dept. Of Ed cuts) did. However in both of these follow up legislation is needed or they’ll come back. “Legislation” that’s they key word many here don’t want admit to, understand or acknowledge. Huffing and puffing about Trump and DOGE not doing their job shows a complete misunderstanding of how the system works or currently doesn’t work well. So much political careerism on our side and exponentially more on the Rat side. Everyone loves their multiterm senator\congresscriter and blames those other bastards. Go to another state or district and they say the same thing all the while demanding more pork!

I’ve seen what they put out. But, unlike the techbros, I’m smart enough to admit I don’t COBOL so I just because I don’t understand it doesn’t mean it’s fraud.

“bunch of tech bros who didnโ€™t understand what they were looking at”

It’s best that they didn’t understand the details they were looking at. It’s best that emotion and politics could not be a factor.

All they had to do is research data, trends, anomalies, and the resultant red flags.

No. It’s not. Because if you don’t know how databases work in the language the software was written in then you don’t anything. It’s not about emotion, or politics, it’s about know what those numbers ACTUALLY MEAN. You can’t go yelling about people over 100 being on the socsec rolls if you don’t actually understand the data.

All they had to do was admit they weren’t qualified for the task at hand. Because they weren’t.
