Is that their defense? No one is in charge but yet they do what they want with zero accountability?

paulfleming836.bsky.social•2 days ago

Then who IS Running DOGE? If not Musk, then it must be Trump. Put the investigations into potential criminal wrongdoing where they belong. With Trump.

chad-frederick.bsky.social•2 days ago

Then how can he fire anyone?

cathsterner.medsky.social•2 days ago

It's not a Department, which has to be created by Congress, or an Agency, which have oversight boards. It's just made up. They don't actually have legal authority to do anything.

Congress could call FPS and CISA and have all of them removed from federal buildings right now. Call them and demand it.

ehughesshanks.bsky.social•1 day ago

I don't know him personally; But I'm sure Musk is a money-grubbing capitalist. When reporting what you did last week at work, just go to your job description and highlight the main tasks there. If you are unable to do that, you shouldn't be in the job in the first place. It's actually very common

jus-waiting.bsky.social•2 days ago

🤣These manipulative mind-suckers.

So why is he the one giving the orders, and publicly no less?!

Thank you all at Democracy Docket

jimobx.bsky.social•2 days ago

Then Musk is uncleared and shouldn't have access to anything.

jmal52.bsky.social•2 days ago

Wow. Now they are lying to the court. Where's the confusion? Musk's been leading the charge and he posts about it on twitter repeatedly. Call it out. A lie is a lie.

stcook.bsky.social•2 days ago

They're just playing hide the pickle...

veritasloquitur.bsky.social•2 days ago

He truth socialed to Elon to cut more last night. Elon is in charge of Doge per trumps orders

loudmind.bsky.social•2 days ago

In other news, the Felon & F-Elon are fucking liars…

mustangrick.bsky.social•2 days ago

There's no question. They're lying.

I wanna know if he has a security clearance and how they managed that.

lifeinthepnw.bsky.social•2 days ago

Muskrat and his Dodgy bros need to get out of our government.

comtechdiagnostics.bsky.social•2 days ago

Oh, Republicans will spin everything to get things their way. NO Shame. Childish. Must Win - Narcissistic, Sociopathic.

Garbage.

🤣🤣😍😍😍

iconoglass.bsky.social•2 days ago

It’s okay. We will go after all of them. They’re all conspirators.

liam-hughes.bsky.social•2 days ago

Ever hear of de facto?

kaoleary3.bsky.social•2 days ago

Elon knows that he does not want to go to jail for Trump which is why it looks like he is not technically in charge of DOGE.

1marian.bsky.social•2 days ago

😂

sjkat.bsky.social•2 days ago

FUCK Krasnov, I’m over this traitor!

waterloo45.bsky.social•2 days ago

No one who's ever met musk would let him in your home near your children

tessrsq.bsky.social•2 days ago

At least 4 women with no integrity let him in their vaginas. Let me grasp that fact before you load me with more. 😂

nancydt.bsky.social•2 days ago

More lies..

ponies3.bsky.social•2 days ago

The white house occupants lie

tygator.bsky.social•2 days ago

Can’t wait to see what happens to his crew….

jonid.bsky.social•2 days ago

Advisors (by definition) advise. They don’t act.

cds103.bsky.social•2 days ago

I don't care who/where/what/why that asshat works for. He needs to be arrested! Can STATES charge him with something, anything to avoid a tRump pardon?

robogogorobo.bsky.social•2 days ago

Oh weird. No accountability in the upper echelons. Strange how that buck only stops against the workers.

amfigory.bsky.social•2 days ago

Just another attempt to confuse and obfuscate the situation. And we go off spending time and energy trying to figure out the ramifications. Meanwhile, they sit back and giggle.

pam-10.bsky.social•2 days ago

nobody seems to be able to nail trump down because these things aren't demanded right at the beginning. he keeps it fluid. he keeps changing musk title as he needs to depending on what comes up.

pam1114.bsky.social•2 days ago

Wouldn't that make it easier to sue the Nazi directly and the executive branch separately for violating our Rights? Not a lawyer but a pissef off Rebellious Fascist Cancer Fighting Granny!

just-a-hobbit.bsky.social•2 days ago

There is no confusion he is firing ppl closing departments, cutting off aid and streamlining things where and when he can for his benefit. That is not the work of an advisor, not to mention 47 has openly said as much. Nope, no confusion at all it's clear

mlco.bsky.social•2 days ago

Arrest m@sk

ohcanadienne.bsky.social•2 days ago

It’s NOT confusing….it’s called fascism. Let’s STOP speculating, for the love of god….

ceejo.bsky.social•2 days ago

How does he have the authority to send ridiculous emails demanding what folks do? 🤦🏽‍♀️

trizzia.bsky.social•2 days ago

that's what everyone is asking and the emails are never signed so we really have no idea who is sending them...it's embarrassing but they have no shame.

xmagnusonx.bsky.social•2 days ago

Deranged
Oligarchs
Grifting
Everyone

xmagnusonx.bsky.social•2 days ago

lindayoung164.bsky.social•2 days ago

I wouldn't call his puppeteer an advisor. Just what does the oligarch have on the red one?

beyonddriveneh.bsky.social•2 days ago

They’re gonna need more gas for that light.

conscientiousice.bsky.social•2 days ago

Rewrite: The White House said in a court filing that Elon Musk is not a DOGE employee, instead solely serving as a fake senior advisor to Trump. Which is a contractor, government contractors cannot fire vetted federal employees.

millicentrandy.bsky.social•2 days ago

Then who is in charge of those scumbags

jacqualine115.bsky.social•2 days ago

Then who will be held responsible for any errors, criminality and general management? They already posted sensitive information "by accident"? Who is the patsy?

desertdandelion.bsky.social•2 days ago

Lying sacks of shit!

the-old-man.bsky.social•2 days ago

Then who is sending out those emails to government employees?

trizzia.bsky.social•2 days ago

🎯

ods91.bsky.social•2 days ago

Why weren't you people concerned about who was running things when that dementia laden old man was in WH?

tessrsq.bsky.social•2 days ago

Then I’d say he needs to immediately be brought up on hacking/espionage charges.

chichinj.bsky.social•2 days ago

Instagram is now an enforcer of this wannabe authoritarian administration. FUCK Instagram

schadenfreude666.bsky.social•2 days ago

it changes daily....like his underpants...

pedelpusher.bsky.social•2 days ago

It Putin!

sighmahn.bsky.social•2 days ago

It's to separate Musk from any wrong doing by DOGE. Cheap smoke and mirrors is all.

audreygv.bsky.social•2 days ago

Then why is he tweeting all of these instructions to people. How dumb do they think we are? Cmon

linmet.bsky.social•2 days ago

This is more the scenario, surely...

whowroteit.bsky.social•2 days ago

Who hired the interns? Who paid for the external hard drives?

jimrissmiller.bsky.social•2 days ago

If he’s not an employee and is only an advisor - where does he get the authority to fire employees across multiple agencies of our government?

trizzia.bsky.social•2 days ago

or get unfettered access to our data???

pinkytime.bsky.social•2 days ago

I feel like we deserve this moment in the future:

hortz.bsky.social•1 day ago

Is it an agency or just a name? Was it created by legislation? Serious questions here.

mhaberman00.bsky.social•2 days ago

Schrödinger’s doge.

jadelotus1997.bsky.social•2 days ago

Arrest him who, not vetted, has no authority to give order, take action and obtain public data from federal agencies on behalf of DOGE. He is a impersonator.

federalistanger.bsky.social•2 days ago

supinejennings.bsky.social•2 days ago

DOGE has only ever Existed in Trump’s words. I bet they don’t even have letterhead,
Much less a budget, chain of command, or even policies and procedures.
