“Errors” fuck this headline and whoever called it errors. It’s lies and propaganda. A thin veneer to cover up the fact that they’re stealing all the tax revenue for the billionaire oligarchs instead of spending it on tax payers.

It’s this reason I’ve been a staunch critic of NYTimes since 2016 when it was clear they were helping Trump.

I stumbled upon a youtube short by nytimes yesterday which showed that DOGEs 5 biggest points where basically fake and that some "savings" go back to contracts that were discontinued in the Bush Administration. Maybe I can find it again.

Thats what I think is going on, they created a barn fire and while people are putting it out the bad guys are making off with the cattle.

I have no idea where I came up with this analogy …

It's going to take decades to recover from this damage, if anyone gets a chance in the future.

if ever. i was figuring on 'decades' to recover from the first term.

less than two months in, and 'round 2' is already infinitely worse and has been for weeks.

Its just a "Flood the country with bullshit" on top of both another upcoming massive wealth transfer, and gutting 100 years of progress.

it appears the only thing that muskrat is lowering during his tenure in government 'service' is his own net worth.

It seems we are at the point where "The Carver" (teenage wunderkind) is in a fetal position....I guess this is what happens when our society foolishly worship youth...
