DOGE? Really, He’s naming Musks “efficiency department” after a crypto currency.
We are truly in the stupidest possible timeline.
We are now really and truly LARPing “Idiocracy.”
They should name the agency the Deep State Oligarchs get to fuck America like the did pre New Deal days..
At least it will be all out in the open now
@stgreenie @Dhmspector Evil always reveals itself out of arrogance and greed its corruption will even become obvious to all except for the blind.
The silver lining in all this is that the ruling oligarchy has arrogantly decided to step out of the shadows for the first time in almost a hundred years.. I am hoping the ineptitude of their puppets will ultimately destroy them though not without a lot of pain to America before this reckoning
@stgreenie @Dhmspector One thing is certain if you watch hogs feed eventually one or few become too hoggish for the rest of the hogs.
@stgreenie @gumpfloyd we’ll see… these oligarchs, especially Peter Theil (Musk isn’t actually that smart) have learned the lessons of Gilded Age 1.0. They decided to and succeeded in capturing the whole government.. not just parts.
@Dhmspector @stgreenie When it comes down to it these greed barons have a singular mind "all of it" and with the working class and the poor having less and less eventually the only ones left with anything will be themselves.
@gumpfloyd that’s the dream…
Unfortunately in America it took the extreme hardships of the Great Depression in the 1930's to enrage enough of us peasants to support the New Deal to at least drive the oligarchs back to the shadows..
It will probably take a similar crash and burn to reverse what the election of 2024 has wrought..
@Dhmspector FML. F all our Ls.
@Dhmspector The guy has something like 3 jokes that were never funny to begin with and he’s going to run them into the ground until his very last days.
@Dhmspector the merch will be... flammable? yes, elon, i expect so. quite possibly to a problematic extent. if the government agency responsible for monitoring flammability of consumer goods wasn't about to be entirely gutted, i would expect massive recalls.
Grifters gonna grift
The fucking of America, continues.
@Dhmspector Orwell wept.
@Dhmspector the 3 stooges ...
@Dhmspector @jeffowski so to reduce inefficiency in bureaucracy, he's going to... add more bureaucracy?
@mattg @Dhmspector @jeffowski He creates an additional agency and appoints, not one, but two useless idiots.
@Dhmspector nice onion article
@lonewolf225 If only....
@Dhmspector Today I thought to myself - I need to detox from US politics. Then this
Now I really need to get away.
@Dhmspector Kakistocracy
@mogul Nope... what's 1,000 levels down from a kakistocracy? That’s what this is. When they're done we’ll *WISH* we had merely lived in kakistocracy.
@Dhmspector An official government agency cannot be created without an act of Congress, so there's that.
@DebErupts the Roberts court seems to have taken care of that little problem.
However, this incoming Congress will rubber stamp literally anything he wants to do.
@DebErupts @Dhmspector I saw an announcement that it would be formed outside of government.
@skry @DebErupts here in Trumplandia, the technical term for that is “a distinction without a difference.”
@Dhmspector Wait wat? He calls him "the Great Elon Musk".
Why not Melon Husk the Great?
This would be so hilarious if it wasn't also so fucking scary.
@Dhmspector That has this 'Soviet Space Dog' vibe to it.
@timo21 sadly we’re all Leica in this scenario.
@Dhmspector It's all just a fucking joke to Leon
@Dhmspector Idiocracy looks like sheer genius compared to this shit.
… plus they compared it to the Manhattan Project who’s end result was the fiery death of hundreds of thousands of people. SMH
@Dhmspector friggin nightmare... must and ramaswampy... omgggg I can't......
Silly me. I thought they were going all cultural, using the historical name of the leader of Venice.
He is not the President, and should not be issuing statements at all until he is the President.
You know what age groups have poor delayed anticipation capacity?
Toddlers, that's who.
@Dhmspector @Nigel_Purchase just ask the Committee of Public Safety
@Dhmspector It is such a strange sensation to be utterly horrified and also not be able to stop laughing at the stupidity. It’s so bad it hurts.
@Dhmspector The words the department of government efficiency send chills down my spine. It sounds like a dystopian movie.
not even named after crypto.. it's named after a 2016? meme
@pixelnull but remember that Elon was pushing Doge coin for years? And even got sued because of his pump and dump of doge coin?
that's what i mean, dogecoin is named after doge the meme.
@pixelnull @Dhmspector Eitherway, it's just a shitpost to him.
@Dhmspector nailed that "shock" part. Oy.
@Dhmspector And a troll crypto currency named after an internet meme featuring a Shiba Inu at that.
And fuck that musky merch. I'd rather put my clothes under a chicken coop for a month in the summer and wear that than even let that shit in my home.
Or maybe he's saying it will catch fire in which case I hope he wears a lot of it.
@Dhmspector a cryptocurrency built to mock cryptocurrency no less. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dogecoin
@jami right?!? It’s like we’re LARPing the grand prize winner of the ultimate bad political fiction writing contest.
@Dhmspector Oh, it is going to be "The Manhattan Project" of our time. Maybe not the "Collective effort of some the most brilliant minds of its time" part but for sure the "Now I Am Become Death, the Destroyer of Worlds" part.
@Dhmspector A cabinet of cronyism and corruption.Same old swamp creatures.
@Dhmspector honestly I had to do a Google when I first saw this to ensure it wasn’t edited/onion post.
@Dhmspector Also the chief magistrate of Venice - a city that's sinking...
@Dhmspector wait, this is real?
