I do really wish with all my heart that dems win, grow some balls and they let the courts throw the book at the culprits of this for the maximum sentence.

Then again, I might wish for a million dollars and a laser unicorn, which is more plausible.

I don't understand why people just threw up their hands and went "oh well I guess we are out of a job now"

If someone comes in that's you've never seen before tells you to shut down operations why would you listen to them? As evidenced by this article it could just be some random dude off the streets basically. Just take their word for it?

We can clearly see that everyone in the DOGE group was criminally ignorant of everything related to that situation as well as being maliciously true believers in their quest, not caring if they were right or Right. There is however the distinct likelihood that someone higher up who, knowing the cause was false and the method was illegal, prescribed it anyway as a test of and attack on Congressional power of the purse and budget laws.

And they stole and leaked data.

People need to serve time for this. Including Elon. I doubt that ever happens, but they absolutely should.

Of course not, the wealthy are never considered liable.

Elon is never personally liable.

And yet, there’s still fucknuts around here screaming that both sides are the same.

Depraved-heart murder (also known as depraved indifference) is a legal mechanism that can be used when someone knowingly takes an action likely cause death. It allows the extreme disregard for the potential lethal consequences of their action or decision to be treated essentially as malice aforethought (essentially intent to harm), and they can be charged with second degree homicide.

Lock. Him. Up.

Generational strife is yet more distraction from class strife.

Don't judge the whole generation off the confederate dick riders. Instead I suggest directing your anger at the oligarchs who enabled them.

The dynamic you are describing—the convergence of Michael Lewis’s Blockers, Nancy MacLean’s Democracy in Chains, and the legacy of the 1971 Powell Memo and later documents—presents a comprehensive blueprint of how public trust in governance and social goods was systematically dismantled by gop/maga over the last 50 years. By tracing this lineage, it becomes clear how a long-term economic strategy evolved into the highly aggressive, "chainsaw" administrative tactics seen today, resulting in the regression of vital public health and democratic metrics.

While I'm sure he would, he also seems like the self absorbed dumbass that would have openly praised and congratulated him for his work. Probably even getting into explicit details.

Dammit... again?!

I suggest reading The Blockers. What happened with these young punks with zero experience, no wisdom, no training, etc., is absolutely insane.

Rules are only as good as their enforcement.

Bundibugyo strain of Ebola

Can we rename it? The “Trump-musk stain of Ebola” (misspelling intended”

Sheeit that is much higher than I thought when I just comment.

Fuck I hope all those "let's vote ourselves out of fascism" Americans wash really hard with the rest of the fascists to get the blood off their hands.

Fuck the lot of them. I love many of you on an individual level but fuck you and your shithole country.

Love, your younger brother to the north.

An aparthid racist piece of shit controls most the money in the world and this is what he was doing while standing at the presidents right hand side with his latest genetically-enhanced clone child on his shoulders like a goddamn human shield?

Color me surprised. Actually don't, because then Elon might try to kill me for not being white.

It's more than thousands, but also, it's not that they terminated funding per se; it's that they did it in an intentionally callous and disruptive way by reneging on existing commitments that NGOs all over the world were relying on, at zero notice.

NGOs typically aren't permitted the luxury of keeping a large cash reserve aside to get through gaps in funding; donors treat it as mismanagement not to spend the donated money. As such, most of them were left with literally weeks to find alternative funding or cease operations. All USAID had to do was give 3 months' notice for the NGOs to find other funding, and it would have been at least somewhat fine.

It takes many years and millions of dollars to build an effective NGO, and only weeks to destroy it. The wilful and deliberate damage DOGE did will echo for a decade.

Pirates deserve nothing better.

Talking about killing a specific person: not allowed. Actually killing millions: a okay

His whole head is something
