Isolate. Isolate. Isolate.

From the clips I saw of the language that Press Secretary was using, it’s more like “hate, hate, hate”.

Of course, if one then went through department by department and asked if that department should be downsized, few would be and those likely small enough to have minimal impact on the total.

This is at least the 4th time I have read you complain about upvotes, you must be really bothered by the opposition.

It’s called checks and balances.

Do not believe anything you read on that site. Especially not from Musk.

Especially since several of those sound like theoretical future savings from this stop everything order which is clearly illegal.

Yep - but that’s why buyout offers don’t save you as much money as the nominal compensation of the people leaving. You end up paying for people that would have left anyway.

Yup. I saw that on the wire a few hours ago. Must be some “JC” said “hey, I make a profit off of that government handout. here’s a check to make that freeze go away”.

Plus when you do it the way they are doing it they reduce morale and work productivity tanks.

“he corrupt coming out of the wood work in protest of DOGE upvoting will be crushed !”

How cool is that, you agree with me that Trump’s grift and waste of taxpayer dollars must be crushed !! I never, ever thought you’d see it that way, I always thought you worked for the RNC, or DOGE, or were a lobbyist for those looking to get a cut of the grift. Glad to read that you’re actually ready to attack the largest waste of taxpayer dollars, DJT !!

$50 million for condoms in Gaza? Color me skeptical and I’m not the only one. I’m sure the other items have the same veracity.

I am sure they were the ones that doubled for rain coats because of all the rain in Gaza.

Doesn’t matter if it’s true or not. Just keep feeding the narrative that “foreign aid” is always bad.

Well it is a tad more complex. What we decided to fund and decided not to fund does not fit into their world model.

Pass the puke bag.

They will also decide what to fund. You won’t like it.

from the link:

President … on Wednesday repeated a blockbuster claim about the government sending $50 million worth of condoms to the Gaza Strip despite outstanding questions as to whether the colossal figure was accurate.

He further claimed that the terror group was using the contraceptives to fashion improvised bombs - which is backed by reports of condoms being used as makeshift balloons to carry explosive devices over the wall that separates Gaza from Israel.

Oh yea, those had to be the magnum ones. They definitely can carry an explosive device over a wall. (Soon to be banned by a state near you)

It is pretty clear they are instituting loyalty tests as a condition of employment.
