I posted this in another thread but there's a ton of remarkably good opportunities here for DOGE and co to compile a lot of these left leaning bureaucrat reactions to the past week and create a few videos (not tweets) really just spelling out for normies what is happening. There is a legitimate chance here with the right approach to bring in a TON of democrat normies on our side, because this is the only issue that I think could reunite the country - both republicans and dems citizens are getting completely fucked by these corrupt parasitic inheritors and there is a chance to bring the country back together through this. A 9/11 event to unite the country can't happen in today's divisive age - conservatives would smirk at another NYC attack and liberals would cheer at a Texas attack, but both the average citizen in NYC and Texas are getting completely robbed by the DC ruling class. If anyone is lurking ITT fucking jump on this, this could be a once in a lifetime catalyst that can heal the divide in the country before China buttfucks us all. For christ sake at least be open to ideas.
Maybe I'm just getting fucked by the algorithms on X and Reddit but I'm definitely seeing more engagement and understanding towards the libs side against USAID being gutted than the reality of the situation. Definitely need a clear and concise breakdown of the corruption and shenanigans these libtards are pulling on a global scale because I think it's just easier to understand and follow for normies the narrative that 'Trump and Elon are callously firing good people doing good things' than get into the nitty gritty of the bloat and why it's necessary. Even if they are centrists who voted to reduce their taxes they won't feel it for a while (most don't understand why reducing US debt is good), in the mean time they are getting hit with sob story after sob story.

Shit has been moving incredibly fast so its understandable that libtard kneejerk reactions are the first to surface but this shit needs to be compiled and clearly laid out by a charismatic voice.
 
How bad are things for the left that this is what they're leading with on nu-Drudge? I clicked on the article thinking it would be about some centrist commentator of note bitching about Trump, but no, it's about some literal who John Q. Public in San Antonio who's upset because things are "too chaotic". This is apparently all they have left.

The Wikipedia article on German gun legislation cites this article (attached). Here's the relevant section:
The 1938 Law effectively extended the number of groups of people who were exempt from the acquisition permit requirement. Whereas the 1928 Law exempted primarily "officials of the central government, the states, as well as the German Railways Company", "business owners" dealing in guns, and holders of a "firearms carry permit,"' the 1938 Law included these exemptions, but extended them to include holders of "annual hunting permits," as well as a larger group of government workers and Nazi party members.

"Could be one reason.". Is this DEI hire Wormouth one of msdnc's "trusted sources close to the Whitehouse"?

"Concerns about the Army being, quote, woke, have not been a significant issue in our recruiting crisis,” she said. “They weren’t at the beginning of the crisis. They weren’t in the middle of the crisis. They aren’t now. The data does not show that young Americans don’t want to join the Army because they think the army is woke — however they define that.

Guess woke is some ambiguous made up term, no idea what it could possibly entail but it definitely wasn't an issue whatever it is. But on the other hand white guys aren't enlisting because people are complaining about it.

???

She really does speak like a cnn panelist. Spewing drivel out both sides of her cocksucker and not making sense either way.
 
The system already has an answer and it is appeals. This can be countered with a higher court. The supreme court is full of conservatives that want these changes as well. It might take another few weeks but in the grand scheme of things that isn't that long. Common Law is a thousand plus year old tradition. You don't want to throw the baby out with the bathwater.
Additionally, I recall Justice Thomas commenting a few years ago something along the lines of if the nationwide injunction thing keeps being abused, the SCOTUS might look particularly unkindly on it.
 
They've only hit the tip of the iceberg of corruption and I agree they need to lean into it. The news media isn't going to write anything that makes these programs look bad so it'll have to be done by others with reach. A lot of the USAID stuff alone is indefensible and should be put on blast more, forcing anyone to try to defend it.
Keep doing this for every other massive waste of tax dollars found, there will be billions on LGBT stuff alone.

Trump pointing out the Kennedy Center was used to host drag queens is an example but there needs to be more effort to present it to normies and not just by Trump.
 
He could've actually made some waves with the latest tantrum if it wasn't a rerun. The first time he went off I remember people getting all hyped because FINALLY a BUH-LACK MAN with some clout was dropping trvth nvkes about Jews and... well, just Jews I guess.
To paraphrase Manjula, Kamye West wasn't doing or saying anything that Louis Farakahn wasn't doing already and sayin.... while also running a quasi religious militant group....
 
You'd have to be the world's most gullible moron to join the institutionally-pozzed military just because Trump's been in office for three weeks. Imagine signing a multi-year contract with an organization that hated you and everything you stood for a matter of days ago just because they pinky-promise they totally changed their minds.
 
Democrat judges are absolutely insane and so desperate they will literally set themselves and their entire party on fire just to put a slight delay on Trump. Incredible. Kinda reminds me of the Delaware scandal and how a (D) judge just killed the entire state business of being a corporate heaven to own Musk.

I remember in his first term, a judge created a whole new legal doctrine of asserting "campaign rhetoric" meant the President was too racist to discharge his statutory authority, therefore all his authority over a particular aspect immigration was suspended until somebody else took office. The Supreme Court slapped that down, but the basic principle that any judge can say any stupid shit he wants and put it on a nationwide injunction, and the government is paralyzed until the SCOTUS weighs in is really absurd.
 
i dont give a FUCK about Elon and his zoomers having access to my information thats in federal government servers. all my shit is already in probably a hundred data breaches of verizon or some random healthcare company or whatever. wtf do these people think DOGE is going to do with treasury data other than map out money flow and look for fraud? sell it on the dark web?

Give it to pajeets so they can spam you emails at the dark of night asking you to redeem the Google play gift card. If you ignore them, they will hack into your steam account and redeem for you.

Sell it to mole people that life in the bowels of the earth of coarse.
 
That would go a long way to making healthcare a lot more reasonable.
That's over 300 dollars a year for every American. For a lot of Americans under 40, that's like half of what you spend on healthcare all year assuming one physical and a trip to the dentist. They really weren't kidding when they said you can have socialized healthcare or mass immigration, but not both.

They don't think that. They know they're lying. They're using "Elon has access to your information" as a narrative that will spur some amount of into normies into action, because the truth (we don't want to lose our funding, or have our corruption exposed) is too unsavory.

They are relying on the fact that most people will just absorb the messages their "side" is sending them, and won't spend 10 seconds asking themselves questions like "Why would the richest man in the world go to so much effort to get access to my bank account with $3,000 in it?" or "Isn't my SSN issued by the government? Why am I supposed to be afraid of it being stolen by ... the government? They'll just get mad about anything they are told to get mad about.
