Donald Trump and Elon Musk *need* to be prosecute for crimes against humanity. They are responsible for those deaths.
Ancient_Popcorn on
That’s the direct human cost. They don’t even really go into the direct financial cost, let alone the indirect financial cost of DOGE. DOGE was a massive waste of taxpayer money, resulting in more money spent than if things had been left alone.
The whole point of DOGE was for Musk to kill agencies investigating his companies. It wasn’t about saving money.

>300,000 fired federal workers, 600,000 USAID deaths…
I hope this is never white-washed in all future discussions around Musk, his companies, and his legacy.

Weird how all these things keep coincidentally causing damage to the US, Almost like the Trump administration is working for some enemy of ours? Ah well it must just be a huge coincidence.

So the person in charge of that fiasco is being held responsible? They at least deserve a $1,000,000,000,000 stock payment plan as punishment, right?

and don’t forget how DODGE somehow found very little waste with the Department of Defense who is famous for million dollar toilet seats and cup holders. We spend at absolutely insane amount of our military and the budget for it could have been cut in half to save hundreds of billions.

Read somewhere that they estimated 22,000 abortions were prevented in the year after Dobbs. GOP policies resulted in at least 578,000 more deaths in 10 months than abortions they prevented in a year. Maybe the Democrats should take on the pro-life mantle

It did what they wanted it to do. It was never going to be a permanent thing. They wanted to do maximum damage and Elon wanted to strip out regulators. We have to somehow win the next several elections and build up laws with better safeguards for our various federal agencies. That’s a tall order and they knew it, which is why they did what they did. Effectively makes the damage permanent even if DOGE no longer exists to target our ire at.

For decades, the right has been believing that the government does nothing useful. They share memes, tell pithy anecdotes, and pass around Heritage Foundation talking points. Until they convince themselves this is true.
Then they implement it. And are shocked to discover that every time someone said, „there outta be a law“, that it was their job to make it so.
Then they fall out of power and watch as other people rebuild things. Until, one day, new talking points arrive.

We are regressing to the point where you will not be able to trust anything on a screen. It will be back to hearsay as all digital evidence will be claimed as AI generated. Why do you think they are all pushing SO HARD for it.
Do crimes. Flood everything with useless and nearly endless erroneous data to bury all of it. Since it would take decades to sift through any of it. We are approaching Corporate utopia.

Sadly this is what trump voters voted for. Also to blame are people that could have voted but didn’t vote because they didn’t like Harris enough.

Typical Trump administration result – the room is torn apart and shit is all over the walls, they declare success and move on.

The usaid_deaths are more than slightly underrated.
Also in Belgium a stock of a few millions worth of condoms and anti conception medication was destroyed . The rent for the stocking place cancelled and the request of the Belgian government to take over stock or permission to distribute in the African countries were where they were ment to be distributed to reduce the spreading of sexually transferable diseases and/ or reduce over population was denied .
So US citizens payed for the destruction as wel as thee acquisition . Thank you DOGE.

If just one person in this administration was competent we’d be in way deeper trouble. Don’t get me wrong, we’re fucked, but we’d be even more fucked if somebody was competent.

Someday future generations are going to read about this in history books. They’re going to question why we allowed bullshit like this to happen. Then someday hopefully sooner rather than later, there is going to be a change and step in the right direction that doesn’t allow for garbage like this to happened in the future.

Elon should pay all of that back and restitution to those workers.

I sure loved having a job. A job I loved. A job that focused on saving taxpayers funds. A job that I single handily saved the government more money in a year that the payroll of my entire tiny agency. But no, I get to be jobless because some balless manchild wanted to play pretend at being good at something for once in his miserable life.

We gave $40B to Argentina just to help billionaire investors. USAID total budget last year was only $32 billion by comparison. We’re letting million die to benefit billionaires, which is hardly surprising at this point.

The Lancet published a study that [predicts up to 14 million deaths](https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736(25)01186-9/fulltext) due to USAID cuts. That is well worth 0.5% of the federal budget.
