No, the 40-something percent like you who voted for Harris lost. America won.

Uh huh...sure. Keep living in your fantasy world. I knew trump would be a disaster...again...but I sure didn't think he'd manage to destroy so much in not even 100 days.

And by the way, it was 48.3% for Harris. Your boy got a mere 1.5% more...less than 50% of the total vote.

You still lost.

We ALL lost. Eventually you'll see it. Although you haven't the integrity to ever admit it. The only ones who won are the jackholes more concerned with owning libs than America succeeding. Sad.

So much projection.

Do you have any inkling of a clue how ridiculous that sounds up against the last 4 years with the Vegetable in Chief "in charge," and none of us having a damn clue who was actually running the country?

It's WAY less ridiculous than you trying to claim that the first 3 months of trump's second reign have been anything but a dismal failure. And the first two months were seemingly run by elmo and a host of economic nincompoops.

If I were you, I would be embarrassed to post here.

I am embarrassed. Embarrassed that we're basically left with just a few worthless posters like yourself who dominate the tenor of this board. This was once a vibrant board where facts mattered and where you could easily tell when other posters were just jerking chains and having fun and enjoying sarcasm from time to time.

Now, that line has been completely blurred and this place has become nothing more than a contest to see who could ignore their beliefs and fall in line the fastest with the worst president in history. One who doesn't care about you, the law, nor the Constitution and is doing exactly what I told you and feared, destroying democracy as we know it.

It's as plain as day to those with a brain looking at the arc of trump, and it's even clear as bell with just what has taken place in the last week. He's completely ignoring a 9-0 SCOTUS ruling and he had ANOTHER cabinet meeting that would make our founding fathers die all over again as he had his minions praise his greatness in the face of his incompetence...all to stoke his massive demented ego.

You bitched and moaned about Biden and now you praise and sanctify trump for worse actions and behavior. It's pretty pathetic.

And you can keep trying all you want, but no, I'm not leaving. I will remain here, reminding you daily of your ridiculousness. History will not judge you kindly.

Karen.

Clearly your opinion.

While no system is perfect or error free, there are COUNTLESS and time-tested ways to go about this. DOGE is doing next to none of them from what I can tell. THAT is the biggest issue the democrats have with it IMO.

Now you're a tech wizard. Sit down and STFU.

He can’t help himself. There will always be Karen’s to beetch and moan about those that get things done. They caused the problem. Now they got to beetch about how it’s being fixed.

Not to mention that his COUNTLESS and time-tested ways have produced the mess we're in. If they're so effective why are we now finding so much fraud and waste? These idiots can't think for themselves.

Most frequently used refrain in the bureaucratimess:

CAUSE THAT’S HOW WE’VE ALWAYS DONE IT!?!

Second? Presidents come and go. We’ll be here forever.

Quite the twins, eh? Match made in taxpayers hell. Yet millions rely and thrive on the teat.

We did a joint naval exercise, MIDLINK, with the Iranians (1970, Shah was still in power) and Brits. We changed some of our standard procedures to do things the way the Iranians did, in order to accommodate them. At the presail conference, the XO of one of the other ships asked why to several things that were said, only to get the standard response of always done it that way. Finally he stood up, slammed his briefcase shut, and said, "We've always done it that way. That's the only answer you have to any question. I'm just glad John Paul Jones wasn't queer." With that he walked out of the meeting.

Easy to reverse or replace. Next...

So some random idiot puts something on Twitter Tom agrees with and therefore it's gospel.

Sure, but rather than studying the issue and addressing the actual problems, they implemented something that only slowed down processing of retirement benefits for God know how many people for mere pennies of savings.

Not very efficient.

He works for some online rag called The Government Executive. Next.

And by the way Tom, The Government Executive is not part of our government.

lol. These dolts...

Easily fixed.

I spent a good part of 15 years trying to do exactly what DOGE is doing, minus the layoffs. It ain't easy, and requires some mistakes and do-overs.

The fed gov is one unbelievably giant dragon.

Don't disagree. And as I've said for years, I'm all for cleaning up redundancies, fraud, and waste in the federal government. But it takes money to clean it up. And it takes time and patience and good programs. A scalpel, not a chain saw.

I don't think you (or anybody else who has never been on the inside) have any concept of what a monster the fed gov is, and they are trying to fix the entire beast at once.

Using a scalpel is just laughable, and shows a total lack of understanding of the scope of the issue.

Has to be a chain saw. In fact, I would use strategically placed explosives, lol. Plus, all the systems need replacing.

Then, why haven't your beloved Dems done anything about it?

When you have several trees down in your yard, you don't use a scalpel to get rid of them. You use a chainsaw.

America has several trees down in our yard, and someone wants to use a scalpel to clean it up. Nope. We need a chainsaw. (Hell, give me the chainsaw. I'll be more than happy to cut the trees up and clean up the yard.)
