We're in the DOGE eats what it kills phase.

BREAKING: US federal judge allows DOGE to takeover $500 million office building for free.

In fact, the building—and all of the property inside it—had already been transferred on Saturday.

I don't make deals for the money. I've got enough, much more than I'll ever need. I do it to do it.

Donald Trump

This "I do it because I can" mentality is bro culture. Not sure why, but many nonprofits allow the President to operate this way. The Kennedy Center is another example.

This is a travesty!

Numbing.

Is this bec the court had no recourse?

voncey.bsky.social•4 days ago

Can’t the court just order the government to give it back? It doesn’t seem that complicated a remedy.

Your building, people of the United States. Cheese head and the lunchables crew just stole it from us.

So the crooks get to keep the spoils because no one has the balls to arrest them.

The USA is now being sold off for parts.
The same shit the oligarchs did to Russia in the 90s.
Some of the same people will be "buying" what WE THE PUBLIC own together. We have to stop them!
Imagine"Yellowstone Private Resort and Spa." Entrance fee $600, payable to an LLC in the Caymans.

Except russia culture is cooler and women are hotter.

Also Russia didnt dismantle middle and bottom parts of state

This in usa is worse imho

The people who voted for Trump will be the most impacted. Especially the farm districts in the Midwest. Russia and Brazil are glad to pick up hard-earned contracts with China for wheat, corn, and soy.

Why not -- goes with Federal Protection of Tesla dealerships. Himmler must be protected and appeased.

Can i take that judge’s house for free?

listessotempo.bsky.social•4 days ago

Cool, so if I hold up a bank I get to keep the money, right?

A privately owned facility? Really?? I should just go next door and lock my neighbor out of his house and say, "Sorry. It's mine." WTF!!

Unbelievable! There no longer is a rule of law.

They're only surprised about how easy it was to do. And we all watched them do it.

Even eminent domain means the govt has to pay fair market value. If the bldg was paid by a private organization how can the govt just seize it?

miri100.bsky.social•4 days ago

To me, this is the worst news of the week we have got to get Muk out of our government. I don’t care how how many people hate them you mean we don’t have one person that can take care of this.

miri100.bsky.social•4 days ago

Is this a Trump judge and can we sue to get it back? What the fuck is going on?

wittyretorthere.bsky.social•4 days ago

Obama judge, but very by the books. USIP original request for a TRO was pretty flawed based on some experts analysis of it (iirc only 5 of 12 non-governmental members sued, not a single Republican originally, and their lawyer did a meh job). Now they need to get to merits before anything can 1/

wittyretorthere.bsky.social•4 days ago

Happen so going to be the long haul assuming they fixed up their complaint. (Note not a lawyer and personally think this is a disgusting abuse of power going on.) 2/2

Love to see the judges bank account deposits last few weeks.

I can’t get my head around how this is legal and a judge signed off on it? WTF

Exactly the kind of spectacular corruption the gangster administration planned. I hope this apparent success becomes a giant, creeping nightmare for them.

They stole it!

stephielynn204.bsky.social•4 days ago

I don't freaking understand why Judges are allowing this!

whiskeyblackout.bsky.social•4 days ago

It was already done. A TRO is to maintain the status quo. The case isn't over, just the type of relief requested isn't available.

stephielynn204.bsky.social•4 days ago

That should not matter, that's like saying I can steal your TV, and because it's in my house before you caught me, I get to keep it even though I stole it.

whiskeyblackout.bsky.social•4 days ago

No, it's like saying you can't stop me from stealing your tv since it's already stolen, but you can get an order from the judge at a later, procedurally appropriate time saying that the TV has to be returned.

scottsquires.bsky.social•4 days ago

Good luck with that in this.

kmcm.bsky.social•3 days ago

Makes sense once you equate DOGE with Russia & the US Institute of Peace with Ukraine

And how the entire Trump admin & its adherents are on the wrong side of history

barbaraerogers.bsky.social•3 days ago

Why did the judge cave?

rockpapersissors.bsky.social•4 days ago

That makes no sense to me.

Still not an official department, but ok.

we-are-toast.bsky.social•4 days ago

Today judges ruled in favor of the "finders keepers" argument, and the, if you can sneak them out of the country before a ruling you don't have to give them back argument. And another law firm caved. Our judicial/legal system is a total mess not up to the challenge and will have to be rebuilt.

Oh, how lovely. How long will it be before Trump goes after every other piece of private real estate in the country for himself now that he's been allowed to do it once without consequences or reprisals?

noauthoritarianism.bsky.social•1 day ago

When will people understand. DOGE is not about saving money. DOGE is about harming and stopping things that Trump doesn’t agree with.
DOGE IS MAKING POLITICALLY MOTIVATED CUTS, NOT FINANCIALLY MOTIVATED CUTS.

sandy2950.bsky.social•3 days ago

The citizens need more information about this decision. Again, show us first of all that DOGE is even a legal entity. Let's see the incorporation documents, who is the actual head of this "organization", etc. It's a sham and we need answers!

So gov can give away buildings worth several millions but can’t give me my social security savings I’ve been paying into for 45 years? So much corruption.
