It's funny how you guys talk about Mitch McConnell as though normie Dems are fans of his. No, they f***ing hate him.

Mitch is a RINO sellout, thoroughly uniparty. Like Liz Cheney and Mitt Romney, the kind of "Republican" Dems love. What exactly is a normie Democrat?

"Normie" in the sense of average, middle-of-the-road, etc. They hate Mitch.

He may be a RINO sellout, but he's never been a friend to Democrats. I'll be celebrating when he leaves office. Just like you.

Taco Tuesday. Margaritas. The two women next to me at the bar said they had a tough day at work, I asked why? They were federal government workers, middle aged, brunettes, bearister's type. A bunch of people left their group or were laid off and they're only allowed to hire one new worker for every four who leave. So, they're swamped. They still have to send a weekly email that summarizes what they did in 5 bullet points. I told them no one is going to read their emails but they already knew that. I asked them if they wanted to go outside and burn some Teslas. They laughed and we ordered more margaritas....

Did you tell them you were in favor of their colleagues getting fired?

I told them they better start learning how to code?

DOGE staffer Tyler Hassen had FIVE businesses in Houston that he left behind to help clean up our government:

I disagree.

He literally thumbed his nose at Dems for all the years he was the Senate Minority Leader.

Moreover, were you living in a cave in 2016 when he screwed Judge Merrick Garland and the Dems?

How do you not remember that?

McConnell literally paved the way for a number of conservative judges on SCOTUS.

Neil Gorsuch.
Amy Coney Barrett

How do you not know this?

And youre claiming he was the RINO that Dems loved?

Where's your evidence of that?
That's pure fantasy.

This is really bad. If the facts bear it out, he should resign. I think Lutnick should go as well. But why do you keep changing the topic? Are we just here for drive-by insults?

Because much of the time you make some really DUMB CLAIMS like the one about McConnell and its just not worth my time.

So I'll educate you one more final time.

"Perhaps most brazenly, his cynical manipulation of the judicial confirmation process in 2016 prevented consideration of Judge Merrick Garland, a highly qualified if blandly moderate federal jurist, to serve on the US Supreme Court.

McConnell's refusal to allow the Senate to take up the Garland nomination relied on an obvious lie: the claim that the Senate could not weigh high court nominations in presidential election years. In fact, the majority leader was simply keeping the seat open until a Republican president could fill it with a right-wing judicial activist. After Donald Trump's election, McConnell promptly steered Neil Gorsuch to confirmation in 2017. Then, when Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg's death created an election-year opening on the court in 2020, McConnell shamelessly raced to fill the seat with conservative Trump appointee Amy Coney Barrettfinishing his long mission of tipping the balance on the court so that it had an aggressively hard-right, anti-abortion majority. In less than two years, 50 years of precedent was overturned, as McConnell's court overturned Roe v. Wade and opened the way for states to block access to reproductive rights."

Looking thru DOGE website I was looking at Agency spending...why did the dept of treasury spending go up so drastically between 2019 to 2024?

Department of the Treasury#15

$689.5B in FY 2019
$1311.9B in FY 2024

I'm not being required to send my weekly Five Bullets emails to DOGE/OPM, but I'm hearing from those who do that their inbox is full and emails are bouncing.

Gotta love our competent tech savvy DOGE overlords!

Despite Musk's claims, the Trump administration's spending is on pace to surpass Biden levels - MarketWatch


https://www.marketwatch.com/story/despite-musks-claims-the-trump-administrations-spending-is-on-pace-to-surpass-bidens-levels-19cdf24c


"DOGE has made it increasingly challenging to fact check its assertions after it removed federal identification numbers in its website's source code that could help outsiders identify specifically what grants and contracts the agency is referring to.

That makes it difficult and sometimes impossible to know the vendors the government has contracted with and whether the government is actually saving the amount of money DOGE is claiming it has.

Meanwhile, there are claims on the website that are incorrect. The largest savings asserted by DOGE is a cancelled $1.9 trillion contract for IT modernization. But the contractor awarded the money told the New York Times last month that the award was actually cancelled in November 2024, under President Biden."
"The White House didn't respond to a request for comment.

This is always how it goes. A lot of big conservative promises about controlling the budget and then they don't.

Well, that didnt take long.
He has announced he will "exit" by end of May.

https://www.thetimes.com/us/american-politics/article/im-almost-done-with-my-revolution-elon-musk-says-njxl7c703

"after reducing the US deficit by $1 trillion," - and he has a 130-day limit.

Congress has to vote on a bunch of this, and prior to Trump 2.0 they've been content to spend us off a cliff.

And yet some of Musk's alleged cuts cant be verified.

And Trump's spending is on pace to exceed Biden's by 7% this year.

Youre terribly gullible.
