    What he is doing is not all about cutting waste and fraud fool. If we wanted to cut waste and fraud we'd start with the two grifting cons who are firing everyone. Two grifters consumed with finding ways to richen themselves, and pretending it's for the good of the country. Keep believing the BS all you want. It's pathetic how you believe the crap those cons feed you.

    No - the Keystone didn’t even have 10,000 workers at the time Biden foolishly revoked the permit because it was not complete.

    So the claim that Biden laid off 10,000 workers on the pipeline is false.

    The claim that he ended 10,000 future jobs is plausibly true. Some of those jobs would have been temporary (building the remaining pipeline) but it would still have been work for people.

    There are a number of articles that discuss it. I was in favor of completing the pipeline because of some of the technological advances at the time. I think Biden made a poor decision.

    However - saying Biden “laid off 10,000 workers” isn’t factually true. Saying he stopped 10,000 future jobs? Thats probably true or possible.

    it’s politics - but it’s the part of politics I don’t like when either side does it.

    Also the infrastructure bill that Congress signed under biden is directly responsible for 700k jobs or so with over 70k projects under construction....

    For some reason they'll talk about the XL pipeline 24/7 but never about the jobs created due to bills he signed. Its such a weird cult

    @deb4rockets Remember Trump spent 200 million dollars on advertisments on Foxnews funded by taxpayers praising himself about closing the border lol. Thats the definition of "waste" but somehow his cultists dont care.

    Doge has found less than 5 billion dollars in "waste" while congress is approving 4 trillion dollars of tax cuts. We should totally be jumping in joy

    EVERYBODY is in favor of cutting waste and fraud, but as has already been explained to you several times, that is not what is happening here.

    the richest person in the world is single-handedly dismantling our government with zero oversight. and he has billions of dollars worth of conflicts of interest. and he is destroying the agencies that are tasked with regulating his businesses. and giving himself more government contracts. and taking over the FAA and replacing it with his starlink. furthermore, he keeps lying about the amount of money he has found or cut or lies about which programs he is cutting.

    these are the things that those of us who dont have TDS are against. (the people with TDS btw are the republicans, conservatives and so-called christians who support someone like trump and musk). again, EVERYBODY is in favor of cutting waste and fraud.

    you even cited musks "success" at twitter for a reason you like what he is doing...while ignoring the fact that twitter has lost 80% of its value since he took it over.

    furthermore, you have already said that you want to see musk and i quote "burning the bureaucracy to the ground". that is a very childish and unreasonable position to have. yall just want chaos. MGT said "federal employees dont deserve a paycheck and dont deserve a job". yall have decided that all federal employees are bad and their jobs need to be eliminated. its just totally idiotic, especially coming from a sitting member of congress. she is a federal employee too.

    Nobody cares about the virtue signaling of "GET RID OF FRAUD! GET RID OF WASTE".

    You actually have to do it, which for decades bureaucrats kept ignoring while establishing slush fund NGO's. No one responded to the gentle approach.

    Now the gravy train is over, transparency is being put in place, and they have no one but themselves to blame. The procrastination is why it hurts. Real world 101

    thats not true.

    not for elon. in fact, he is driving the gravy train to his own front door.

    LOL. no its not.

    there is nothing "real world 101" about any of this. like i said, no real business or business leader would be doing things this way.

    Elon & his DOGE scum are literally killing cancer patients waiting on treatments bc they froze NIH credit cards

    Can confirm. My son has pancreatic cancer and is receiving treatment at UT Southwestern in Dallas. He was to start a drug (infusion) to treat his particular gene mutation and is unable to start that treatment since the freeze.

    Anyone heard of WIPP? Waste Isolation Pilot Plant. It's a DOE facility near Carlsbad that stores radioactive waste created by DOE and DOD in salt caves deep underground. It's one of only three in the world.

    DOGE is terminating the lease of the office that takes care of the facility (including personnel safety and site security).

    Excuse my French but f*ck that Trump c*cksuc*ing b*tch. She doesn't know crap about Veterans, or those being fit to serve this country. Trump is the one unfit to serve.

    Trump adviser Alina Habba says veterans fired by DOGE are perhaps 'not fit to have a job at this moment'

    Emily Erroa, an Army veteran who was fired from the Department of Energy last month, called Habba's comments "ridiculous" and "insulting."

    I love the "Are you seeing weather today? If so, that's great! Can you call us and tell us about it?"

    If everybody's in favor of cutting govt waste and fraud, then why haven't they already done it?

    Also I think getting the worlds richest man to help with the cuts is a smart move. Why? he cant be bought. He's running things like a business and he's been a very successful businessman. I'm glad he's saving the taxpayers money. He said he's not perfect and their will be mistakes made and he will correct those mistakes as they come to light. Seems pretty logical to me, but if they're a globalists then while it's logical they would never admit this because it threatens their powers.
