Trump/Musk/DOGE all FRAUD... need to be stopped... congress, courts, public pressure... undermining and usurping all authority... DOGE is not downsizing government, or fighting fraud or waste… DOGE is sabotaging the government and the democratic and legal structure of the US…

I don’t see why we should pay staff for the White House or congressional office buildings either. What a waste of money. Let the Orange _____ (fill in the blank using the word of your choice) clean his own toilet. T____ for janitor. I’d vote for that.

This cultural sabotage. Get rid of schools, science and nobody’s talking about mental health or psychology. It might be too obvious for others to see. This country is failing everyone.

I predict employment invitations from Canada and Mexico first, then when that works, the opening up of all education losses as well. The big benefit of the US- showers. Whooptiedoo. Until the water runs out. 🥴

DOGE doesn't care whether systems work or are important. It seems that its mandate is to dismantle all government services, without regard to their relevance and value. I propose we deny AF1 Plane and Secret Service agents for golf outings. Big savings!

Your graphics are disappointing. Probably AI generated? Great to see a female when talking about a scientist, annoying that it is in the context of cleaning a bathroom.

The mob boss, his accomplices and his congressional crime syndicate should he the ones cleaning bathrooms. These thieves are selling out our country and people every single day, stealing America, our democracy and everything they can.

⚠️People are running around looking for compost bags and wondering who will empty out the female sanitary waste containers in the bathrooms, they said. The floors are getting dirty and workers have no access to vacuums or mops. Some scientists have bought their own soap and cleaning supplies.

Americans better learn to prepare for the next devastating event. Over half the country doesn’t care what happens to you and with trump alienating us from the world they won’t care either

Tons. But if he was gone, we wouldn’t have these problems. It’s basically at the whims of one man with a giant cult following. If those whims and that man didn’t exist we’d be in a very different place. That’s not to let enablers off the hook, but this reality show nightmare is over without trump.

This is how a Nation formerly in the forefront of scientific discoveries & innovation self-implodes without any external destructive forces. All handled by Elon Musk & a group of Tweenies applauded by their own obese narcissist Orange Clown with a skunk tail on his head. Simply hilariously amazing.

It's harder to leave than most people could imagine. Try selling a house in the USA right now. Mortgage companies aren't even approving loans because they have no faith in the jobs people hold or the value of our dollar.

Understand the dilemma, the majority of Americans are great people being let down by a self centred government who is actively working towards being richer to the detriment of their fellow countrymen.

Why haven't they quit& gone to work for real governments in other countries? We need their expertise, if Nero felon Don and his Admin don't support or want them they should go to places that respect&want them. Then they can share their findings with the general population around the world.

MAGA is fighting against the government. Russ Vought declared some time ago that the Trump administration would use intimidation tactics against officials. The result will be that they will leave their jobs, and public services, especially public safety, will collapse.

Destroy the support … make it look like they’re not doing their job & DOGE closes the dept for inefficiency, saves money & people die since can’t service them (muskytrump et al) helping to steal $$ from taxpayers

🤬🤬🤬 Our oldest daughter holds 2 Graduate degrees from Big 10 Universities in Meteorology/Climate Data Science. She has published 4 papers. She's chosen to leave the field to take a Data Analyst position elsewhere. She's still doing research & hopes to return in a new Administration valuing Science

The places she would want to return to will be so gutted and set back years she will probably be able to run the shop. We will soon have an echelon of super-skilled workers like your daughter who will have to pledge allegiance to get an interview from someone far less qualified.

"Large-scale bullying program" is spot on. I am told that Lutnick is only looking at "a few contracts a week" and there must be dozens or hundreds waiting for his Joaquin Phoenix as Commodus thumbs up/down.
