It's a "time waster" cabinet. Without approval of Congress the department has no power other than the potential rubber stamping of executive policy letters. Their purpose will be to blow smoke to hide the worse stuff Trump is doing.
I remember as a young person being so excited to be at the beginning of the digital age, without understanding that it would give unimaginable wealth the world's worst dorks, nor understanding what that money would do. Like feeding a Mogwai after midnight, then feeding the resulting Gremlin.
Now Billionaires get to tell poor people how to better spend their money, what their money should be spent on, and how they shouldn't rely on the government.
All while not paying a fair share of taxes and using that additional income to lobby the gov. Against its own citizens versus feeding kids.
This is the guy who has been out in public saying they were going to fire gov employees based on their social security numbers, and now he's what, accusing people of listening to him?
The “wrong” unelected bureaucrats.. That’s what they don’t like. The same way they hate “activist” judges and then they support the six christofascists currently on the Supreme Court.
And he's so damn stupid he apparently doesn't realize he's part of an unelected bureaucracy. But, he does fit right in with the ignorant and incompetent heelclickers liked by Trump.
This is unkind of me, but I honestly can't imagine a conversation between these two men. Neither listens or expresses any doubt about his own opinions on an almost limitless range of topics. Their meetings must be like parallel monologues.
He sounds very confident when he speaks and unfortunately people trust ideas from someone who sounds confident, even if what they are peddling is complete nonsense.
Trust me, those two together (Elon & Vivek) are not a match made in heaven. Mix in a little bit of crazy Marjorie Green, and we have a recipe for a disaster. 😩
The logic, i kid you not, being used is "It's not the same because they're a) not a ded agency and B) not taking a federal salary". Legit MAGA thinks these guys aren't going to be corrupt bureaucrats BECAUSE they aren't elected.
Yes I agree, he will fit perfectly and unfortunately fix government corrupt spending. You know, Kamala didn't get elected too...but she's on our team so that make it alright ;)
Vivek has already been a trojan horse based off his backers. It tells the story that its all lies for the rich. Class warfare is being used on us and it will make us slaves if we don't push back or hold the line.
Martin Shkreli has more self-awareness and would also have been well-suited for a DOGE job excepting those convictions for conspiracy and securities fraud ...
As these people love to point out, we live in a REPUBLIC.
Which means that we elect officials to HIRE the people who execute the official whims through the Executive Branch.
The only thing more cringe than a man about to hit 40 trying to act 'hip' for the kids, is Vivek trying to act 'hip' and 'in with it' or trying to speak intelligently about anything.
You do realize he's doing it for $0 right? He's doing it for free for the American people. Same with Elon. You're a sad excuse for a person these days, George.
Notice that Vivek, Elon, Donald are all products of privilege. Never had to be concerned with where their next meal was coming from or even worry about their parents trying to pay for that private school.
No Vivek, we’ve lost self governance to the elected one now too. That’s why we fear more than before.
It’s also why our triumph after will be stronger as long as our party reads the message sent clearly and goes back to being the party of the working class.
I almost feel like the article I read about the Multiverse in Scientific American is true. We are just a Middle School experiment for some alien teenager. Kind of like The Simms. Just shocking. We really don't have free will.
Have loved you forever! Watched the original run of Star Trek w/my Dad!
Hubris is what makes Vivek the perfect void to have any say in the government. Who voted him anything except most smug asshole that wears a tie to school in the 6th grade and pees sitting down so he won't splash on his expensive shoes.
I noticed this with him and his support of Putin years ago!! Trump supporters = Russia connection. Musk and most of Trumps chosen Cabinet are backing Russia ! FACTS
Watch how they use their words.
It's meant to confuse truth, to pollute our ability to discern differences - even to confuse the difference between villains and "good guys".
I blame George Lucas for making a huge "hero" out of Darth Vader through centering -now Disney has followed in his footsteps
I have a different take.. This is intentional. Projection is the tool of the autocrat. Tell MAGA what is bad, it fools the masses into thinking the people telling them are not the ones doing the very deed they are suggesting is bad..
Vivek Ramadouchebag is just like every other fake libertarian tech bro. They cry about big govt b/c they long for less taxes & regulation, but will absolutely use it as a cudgel to enforce their social agenda on Americans.

to get each other deported
All of it.

Which might be an absolute win?
Try not to expect too much of him.
Evil I can almost understand, loathsome though it is, but they're all just SOOO STUPID.

THAT’S LITERALLY WHAT DOGE IS. NOBODY VOTED FOR ELON AND THIS CLOWN. NOBODY.

Fixed it for you.

The wealthy convinced the poor to vote for the rich.
Beware.
Sorry excuse to say the least.
