Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

The department of government efficiency
This joke writes itself...
Look, they don't give a damn about actually following their own philosophies so let's drop the tired gotchas. They don't give a flying fuck about the gotchas.
We are really letting the right wing dictate the nature of reality with bullshit takes like this.
That you need one single leader to solve it all is a conservative position. That you need many people working together is a leftist position.
When you try to hit them with this gotcha you're actually affirming their beliefs in singular strongmen and are normalizing it for the left.
Cooperation shouldn't be vilified. Cooperation isn't a joke.
The real jokes to them are the American people, particularly the average, lower-middle class, the lower class and especially the poor.
We are just simply watching them clown around actively at everything at the expense and mercy. Pretending that they're upstanding. Pretending they care. Pretending they're even there for those who vote for them. But all of this kind of shit is, is just playground bullshitting between an old fart in power and an undeserved rich man.
Everything is apparently a fucking meme now.
Keep up the gotchas, just pair them with emphasis on how weak and ineffectual they are. Both are required. One is insufficient.
Oh hey, someone with a brain! I was beginning to think non-morons on the internet were a thing of the past.
Department Of Government Efficiency. DOGE
The name itself is a fucking joke about Elons pet Cryptocoin.
The most annoying thing is that in most acronyms two letter words are usually ignored. Thusly it would be DGE but musk is a brain dead Saxon African deserving of little more than a shotgun enema, so why should I expect any ammount of intelligence.
Elon can get fucked. Doge doesn't belong to him.
Do only good everyday....fuck musk and trump
