Member | Thu Feb 06 15:16:20 The staffer's name is Marko Elez. He had been granted access to the Treasury Department payment system and records. - |

Member | Thu Feb 06 15:19:04 I've noticed that the left has been making a point to name the names of everyone on DOGE. It's not like they're encouraging violence or anything against them though /s |

Member | Thu Feb 06 15:20:27 And by the left I mean terminally online leftists |
Im better then you
2012 UP Football Champ | Thu Feb 06 15:23:53 The left doesn't have the balls to hurt people on a massive level. Actually one of the Doge staffers is from Neb and is a really smart and intelligent guy. |

Member | Thu Feb 06 15:54:41 I know it's not as exciting as the names of people who work for the Clinton Foundation, but it's the best I can do. |

Member | Thu Feb 06 19:47:00 Murder doesn't realize that the treasury department has never been audited. Now that he knows he won't care. |
murder
Member | Thu Feb 06 20:09:34 I'm in favor of audits of the Treasury Department and the Pentagon and every other part of the government. It's 2025. Keeping track of money isn't that hard. |
murder
Member | Fri Feb 07 16:04:09 I knew this was all just a misunderstanding. ---------------------- Elon Musk says DOGE staffer who resigned for racist X posts will be brought back Elon Musk said Friday that he will bring back a DOGE staff member who resigned after it was found that he had previously made racist remarks online. http://www...r-resigned-racist-s-rcna191224 |

large member | Fri Feb 07 16:15:13 Yah, the only thing that surprised me was that he was dismissed at all. |
obaminated
Member | Fri Feb 07 16:19:19 Eh, all the evidence was third hand and we never got context. |
murder
Member | Fri Feb 07 16:32:51 obaminated always has the proper context for racism. - |
obaminated
Member | Fri Feb 07 19:31:11 You think trump hates everyone but whites. You genuinely believe this. |

Forwyn
Member | Sat Feb 08 11:27:22 He will be re-hired now. No one of note gives a shit about a former USAID worker "journalist" posting joke tweets. |

Member | Sat Feb 08 12:49:49 "Just for the record, I was racist before it was cool" Yeah, that's totally worthy of firing and doxxing, because our slush fund agencies must be protected by legacy media |
tumbleweed
the wanderer | Sat Feb 08 14:23:21 yes, it would be terrible if anyone got fired for weak reasons... |
murder
Member | Sat Feb 08 17:02:15 "Yeah, that's totally worthy of firing and doxxing, because our slush fund agencies must be protected by legacy media" Says someone who thinks being a racist isn't a problem. |
Forwyn
Member | Sat Feb 08 17:30:59 Boohoo. Showing off tweets won't save your exorbitant funding. Cry and cope and seethe more, lmao |

Forwyn

large member | Sun Feb 09 11:59:15 What is a repentant racist? |
williamthebastard
Member | Sun Feb 09 12:05:04 Im a repentant racist. Although Ive pretty much always being against racism, we all unconsciously incorporate common social norms. Thats how normalization works. Ive been full of silly little prejudices I had all my life and have enjoyed spending the last 3 decades trying to weed them out, and most likely still have loads left to discover and reject as I continue my lifelong ambition to develop from Nietzches stupid ape to a somewhat decent human. |

Member | Sun Feb 09 13:32:07 "The Executive auditing the Executive branch is unlawful <insert racist qualifier>" |

Member | Sun Feb 09 15:21:00 "The executive cancelling spending approved by congress and dissolving agencies established by law is unlawful ... unless it's in the name of white supremacy." -- Forwyn http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Line_Item_Veto_Act_of_1996 |
Forwyn
Member | Sun Feb 09 18:13:20 The same court that overturned term limits for Congressmen lol But keep going retard, slashing federal spending is literally white supremacy lmao |
murder
Member | Sun Feb 09 19:37:16 They aren't slashing anything. Just trying to and failing miserably. Funding levels will be set by Congress ... same as every other year. Do you need a link to Schoolhouse Rock? - |
Forwyn
Member | Sun Feb 09 21:33:48 And by failing miserably...you're putting your faith in your Dem judges to block everything. Lol. That's okay. The CR keeping funding afloat lasts for...35 more days. Early budget time. All of these programs should be clean cuts from the proposal. I expect plenty more crying during that time. Muh USAID! Muh foreigner! Muh treasury access! |
murder
Member | Mon Feb 10 00:31:47 "And by failing miserably...you're putting your faith in your Dem judges to block everything. Lol." No lol, I'm putting my faith in the fact that all funding decisions, be they increases, reductions, or eliminations, are made by Congress. There isn't a single fucking thing that Trump or Musk can do to change that. It's in the Constitution. "I expect plenty more crying during that time. Muh USAID! Muh foreigner! Muh treasury access!" Hilarious from dumbasses crying about government spying on Americans. When the gun registry comes, I'll get you a box of kleenex. - |
Forwyn
Member | Mon Feb 10 09:20:51 Let's review, for the ESL kid: "No Money shall be drawn from the Treasury, but in Consequence of Appropriations made by Law." Nothing in this clause binds the Executive from managing their own branch personnel. A broad reading would give wide scope to cut payments, because money denied is not money drawn. "It's in the Constitution." Good, then we can start line-item veto'ing anything not expressly enumerated as a function of Congress. That accounts for 100% of USAID spending, and probably over 3/4 of Congressional spending in general. "government spying on Americans." Funny....because the access was already there. |
murder
Member | Mon Feb 10 16:33:21 "Nothing in this clause binds the Executive from managing their own branch personnel." Yes it does because ... and I'll say this slowly for the ESL kid ... it's not their own personnel. Those people don't work for Donald Trump or for the President. They work for the United States. "Good, then we can start line-item veto'ing anything not expressly enumerated as a function of Congress." No you can't. I just gave you the fucking link. Here, I'll repost it for you. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Line_Item_Veto_Act_of_1996 "Funny....because the access was already there." Yes, but they have legitimate reasons for doing so, and they have authorization to do it. "DOGE" is just violating the law. - |
Forwyn
Member | Mon Feb 10 21:42:32 "it's not their own personnel." Lol. Wrong. They are functionaries of the executive branch. Not Congress. Not the courts. The are the means to enact and enforce laws. "No you can't." You want to strictly follow the Constitition now, but can't abide by the Enumerated Powers. Only court decisions. Lol "they have legitimate reasons for doing so" Audits are valid. "they have authorization to do it" DOGE has authorization from the President. |
murder
Member | Tue Feb 11 07:50:33 "Lol. Wrong. They are functionaries of the executive branch." The are not functionaries of the executive branch. They work for institutions established by Congress. "Audits are valid." Audits are valid. You don't need the personal information of citizens to conduct them. You also don't need to tamper with the software. And you don't conduct audits with unqualified grifters. "DOGE has authorization from the President." That's wonderful. And if the president wants to hire them to go through his personal business records, he has a right to do so. But he doesn't have any authority to use the private information of other citizens as he sees fit. He's not king. - |
Forwyn
Member | Tue Feb 11 09:16:29 "The are not functionaries of the executive branch." Lol. Go back to civics. "Audits are valid." Thanks. "private information" No indication private info is being used. Idiots are using the meme to justify TROs being handed out like candy simply because access is there. Anyone conducting a thorough audit would have admin privileges, this is standard. |
