This is a great cartoon.  Musk built his fortune off of taxpayer dollars.

The whole country should be united about getting Elon the fuck out of government department. He, and his minions, are probably the worst people to give unfettered access to government databases. 

It really shows the power of today's echo chambers including mainstream outlets like Twitter and Rogan that are suck up to the Presidents.  As crazy as it seems that anyone would approve of this, they're getting nothing but positive spin and outright lies about what's happening.

So DOGE has opened the books. Shows you the waste that our tax dollars are being spent on and this is a bad thing? I don't get it. This is fantastic. 

Opened the books? The information on spending was publicly available. 

Oh....I'm sorry. So you were aware of this?

Today’s contract update: 95 cancellations with savings of ~$115M (ceiling value of ~$235M), including two USDA contracts: - $265k for a “food and nutrition service 3 day leadership retreat in Atlanta” - $30K for “Malaysia study tour facilitation services”

You weren’t aware of something that was happening but you could’ve been. Now someone is gaslighting you by playing on your ignorance and declaring that they’ve uncovered something “secret” that was always public information.

The money is going right into Elon's pocket. It's his country now. They're not uncovering fraud; they're giving money to billionaire robber barons.

*****Bubble alert*****

How and where is your evidence? Go ahead I'll wait. 

Elon Musk has made $4 billion per day since Trump won the election

Ohhhhhhhh....He's guilty of owning successful companies....I didn't know this was a crime. Show me the fraud. What you showed was successful man.

Another thing about the new left.....They are not funny anymore. Notice 95% of comedians are Independent now. Back to the drawing board with this knee slapper. 

This is nonsense. Show me a stat that shows comedians are 95% independent now. Good comedians have always criticized both parties. It’s just we’re not snowflakes about it. SNL parodied obama for 8 years, and he laughed, and we laughed along with him. They parodied both clintons. Even sarah palin had a decent sense of humour about tina fey (although her appearance was obviously politically motivated). 

Your cult leader has told you to get offended by comedy, so now you’re offended by comedy. And you are told that comedians are going anti woke, which they’ve always been, so now you think this is new. 

It’s like when I see posts on social media criticizing Rage Against the Machine for not “sticking to the music”. It’s always idiot maga (not all republicans) that have zero awareness about the world around them. 

There's an amazing video of Chris Farley going into chambers and imitating Newt Gingrich. Whatever you think of Newt, note that he was right there laughing. And so were members of his own party.

Chris Farley Invades Republican Congress & Swears In Newt Gingrich As House Speaker 1995

This is the kind of moment we've been robbed of because we're devoted to a thin-skinned leader. I really miss the days conservatives said "you have to be able to laugh at yourself" Like Newt is doing here.

Again how long ago was this? Let's talk about the past 8 years. Comedians have left the party and are Independent now. 

I'm not talking about whether comedians are Dems/GOP/Ind. I'm talking about the bolded parts...the GOP is nothing but easily offended snowflakes. The days of laughing at ourselves are over and it's not because, as we have been told for so long, of liberal snowflakes but thin-skinned "leaders" who spend inordinate amounts of time being victims and whining about how unfair everyone is to them.

I don't give a damn what party a comedian affiliates themselves with. What I'm talking about is they can't poke fun at the powerful because of MAGA's fee fees.

HughFreakingDillon

They aren’t moving independent. Maga is just lifting up unfunny racists disguised as comedians to show “we are funny too”. 

Like I said, the best comedians, scratch that, my favourite comedians are the ones that laugh at absurdity and hypocrisy wherever they see it. Bill Burr is amazing at this right now. He has an incredible talent to say uncomfortable truths and make them not only ok to say, but in a way that can unite us all in the ridiculousness of it all. Before the 2016 election, he was making fun of both candidates equally, not just trump. And it was FUNNY. 

On the other hand, you have the other Bill who just tries to play both sides like they actually are equal. See, Burr doesn’t pander. Maher does. That’s the funny/unfunny call sign. 

I would LOVE to see Burt host a real time type show. When he was on Rogan during covid, he called him out beautifully, essentially calling him an idiot to his face while making him laugh at it. That’s his genius.

Here's what all of you have wrong. Independents put Trump in the white house. The Left went completely bat shit crazy that you pushed people (like myself) away. Thats it.

Here we go with if you do not agree with someone you call them a racist. This is a perfect example of why so many are leaving the democrats. Everything is about race. Did you call Bill Burr racist when he hosted the racial draft on the Chappelle show?

Not everything is about race. I’ve always been very consistent on that; not every criticism of Israel is antisemitism, not every arrest of a black male is unjustified. 

Your blanket statements of those you hate are just ignorance. 

But the few “comics” I’ve seen come out for maga- yes, racist. Or just incredibly unfunny. 

HughFreakingDillon

And no, I actually have never seen the chappelle show.

And people are leaving both parties. People are finally wising up that the two party system is a scam. There are a ton turned off by AOC. There have been loads of R’s openly voting dem because of trump. This is not news. 

Trump didn’t win “cuz of woke”. Keep telling yourself that to justify your anger and support of trump. 

Trump won because of several reasons. Woke is really far down the line for the majority.

Nothing they have uncovered was secret. It was all available information.

What fraud charges have been filed? If they found fraud then there should be some filings going on.

He didn't say fraud, he said wasteful spending. 
I haven't looked into the details of what they are highlighting, so I can't comment on how effective DOGE is at pointing out he waste. But there's a big difference between waste and fraud.
I wish schools had a waste prevention program. So much wasted money in education that would be far better spent on something else. Now is Musk the right guy to be doing this? maybe not.

Calling it the disease of the unvaccinated
Preemptive pardons (I can't believe anyone would approve this)
Bidenomincs lead to inflation "Reduction Act"( off the top of my head 19% I believe)
DEI reinforcement
Weaponization of the FBI (see the Twitter files) this alone should be enough to not vote for him.
Censorship on all major platforms (again see the Twitter files)
Lack of support for law enforcement lead to higher crime rates.
Open boarder. 10 million people
Handling of Ukraine and pushing Russia by expanding NATO

He has an incredible talent to say uncomfortable truths and make them not only ok to say, but in a way that can unite us all in the ridiculousness of it all. Before the 2016 election, he was making fun of both candidates equally, not just trump. And it was FUNNY. 

On the other hand, you have the other Bill who just tries to play both sides like they actually are equal. See, Burr doesn’t pander. Maher does. That’s the funny/unfunny call sign. 

I would LOVE to see Burt host a real time type show. When he was on Rogan during covid, he called him out beautifully, essentially calling him an idiot to his face while making him laugh at it. That’s his genius.

Another thing about the new left.....They are not funny anymore. Notice 95% of comedians are Independent now. Back to the drawing board with this knee slapper. 

This is nonsense. Show me a stat that shows comedians are 95% independent now. Good comedians have always criticized both parties. It’s just we’re not snowflakes about it. SNL parodied obama for 8 years, and he laughed, and we laughed along with him. They parodied both clintons. Even sarah palin had a decent sense of humour about tina fey (although her appearance was obviously politically motivated). 

Your cult leader has told you to get offended by comedy, so now you’re offended by comedy. And you are told that comedians are going anti woke, which they’ve always been, so now you think this is new. 

It’s like when I see posts on social media criticizing Rage Against the Machine for not “sticking to the music”. It’s always idiot maga (not all republicans) that have zero awareness about the world around them. 

There's an amazing video of Chris Farley going into chambers and imitating Newt Gingrich. Whatever you think of Newt, note that he was right there laughing. And so were members of his own party.

Chris Farley Invades Republican Congress & Swears In Newt Gingrich As House Speaker 1995

This is the kind of moment we've been robbed of because we're devoted to a thin-skinned leader. I really miss the days conservatives said "you have to be able to laugh at yourself" Like Newt is doing here.

Again how long ago was this? Let's talk about the past 8 years. Comedians have left the party and are Independent now. 

I'm not talking about whether comedians are Dems/GOP/Ind. I'm talking about the bolded parts...the GOP is nothing but easily offended snowflakes. The days of laughing at ourselves are over and it's not because, as we have been told for so long, of liberal snowflakes but thin-skinned "leaders" who spend inordinate amounts of time being victims and whining about how unfair everyone is to them.

I don't give a damn what party a comedian affiliates themselves with. What I'm talking about is they can't poke fun at the powerful because of MAGA's fee fees.

Here's what all of you have wrong. Independents put Trump in the white house. The Left went completely bat shit crazy that you pushed people (like myself) away. Thats it. 

Can you post some of Biden’s bat shit crazy stuff that he did over four years? 

Afghanistan pull out.
Covid jab mandated for federal workers. Complete mismanagement of COVID. Prolonged lockdowns (keeping kids out of school). Workplace restrictions. Using scare tactics to enforce not complying. 
Calling it the disease of the unvaccinated
Preemptive pardons (I can't believe anyone would approve this)
Bidenomincs lead to inflation "Reduction Act"( off the top of my head 19% I believe)
DEI reinforcement
Weaponization of the FBI (see the Twitter files) this alone should be enough to not vote for him.
Censorship on all major platforms (again see the Twitter files)
Lack of support for law enforcement lead to higher crime rates.
Open boarder. 10 million people
Handling of Ukraine and pushing Russia by expanding NATO

Unfortunately people died during the pullout but I’m not sure how that qualifies as batshit crazy. Maybe you think we should still be there?

Vaccine mandates for federal workers I can see having issue with, although mandates have been required in most hospitals for decades, so it’s not too far out there. 

Mismanagement of covid is a vague opinion. 

Covid mandates were done at the state level and happened in nearly every state, blue and red

Yes Biden said dumb shit about the vaccine and messaging was poorly executed. 

Preemptive pardons was more a reflection of the situation with Trump after announcing he’d be seeking revenge. Not really bat shit crazy if you factor that in. 

Inflation was primarily a result of supply chains getting wrecked in 2020 and 3 stimulus packages (2 done under Trump). 

The “twitter files” talked about vague “pressure” from the white house. Judge Barrett even asked for specifics which no one had. 

The federal government provides funding for local and state law enforcement via the  Justice Assistance Grant program, whose funding generally increased under Biden. 

Our borders have always been open in the context you’re referring to, and 10 million new illegals isn’t an accurate number. 

And sympathy for Putin by claiming he was pushed into aggression is just an opinion.

First off any use of the dogwhistle "jab" is a direct correlation to being a QtRUmplican sycophant.
Second, many presidents have done preemptive pardons.
Third the retRUmplican party lives and dies on their scare tactics via a constant stream of new and old conspiracytheories, and lies. Drag queens and foreigners and libs and trans people OH NO!
Fourth, The inflation  was a direct result of the economic decisions and failures of the previous regime.
Fifth, things like DEI and CRT are at their core retRUmplican dogwhistles used to scare their white male base.
Sixth, the current regime has already started to "weaponize" all parts of the DOJ.
Seventh, the current regime will be doing their darnedest usually through weaponization of the DOJ to quash any and all public dissent especially  through SM.
Eighth,  crime rates actually went down.
Ninth, the BORDER ( not "boarder") has always been porous but never the "open" dogwhistle that QtRUmplican sycophants love to throw tantrums about.
Tenth, not supporting Ukraine is supporting RUssia which last I checked is an enemy of the United States. Any suppprt of an enemy ia treason.
