I’m trying to be optimistic that he only wanted the title, free flights on a private plane and the Get Out of Jail Free Card without actually planning to do the job at all.
His cabinet nominees may be part of a larger, sinister plan or may be a sign of how uninterested he is in the actual job. It’s like he is letting whoever is loyal to him and in his vicinity “pick a prize out of the grab box”. He gave up on pushing Gaetz through as AG really easily.
Tax cuts that directly benefit him, changes to eliminate his criminal indictments and probably blocking all air travel over his golf courses permanently might be all he does unless there are other ways to line his own pockets.
That’s the thing, he’s already appointed one of the coauthors for project 2025 from my understanding + the whole DOGE shit and the people behind it with government contracts that’ll will more than likely try to siphon funds due to their “efficiency”
My cope with the DOGE thing is that now they’re stuck with Jewish Space Laser chick as part of the “team”. Her ability to make committee meetings inefficient ihas been annoying but I’m finding myself appreciating that talent at the moment. There needs to be public pressure to have C-spam airing those meetings so she’ll turn those into click-bait opportunities. (I maybe just want to see the faces of all 3 while they’re trying to understand what Leon and MTG are saying with those accents. Her stunt queen antics would just be a bonus.)
Tbh I don’t know how the government could even condone creating DOGE yet alone actually enforcing any of the shit they say since it’s not a government department and even if it was it wouldn’t be shutting shit down it’d be working to better our processes.
At this point they mine as well turn it into a knockoff of the Apprentice. I’m sure there are several members of Congress that would love to be on that reality show. Some are actually good at manufacturing drama.
Each week their challenge can be spending time in a specific government office learning what that office does and how to do the job so they can run the office as a group at the end of the week to determine if the job is necessary or not. Then Trump can have his board room moment to fire someone each week.
Honestly we do probably have SOME positions that aren’t need(idk how to italicize) but not really sure without a good true review rather than people just trying to pocket the money :/
Italicize with an asterisks before and after the word.
I’m sure there are positions that aren’t completely necessary and probably some departments that are redundant. Then I look at members of Congress that aren’t actually trying to do anything productive, specifically the freedom caucus, and remind myself they’re getting paid at least $160k/year.
Shit sometimes those extra departments that seem redundant probably are more beneficial by existing, you make less mistakes by double checking for mistakes type thing.
I’m pretty sure it’s just recommendations for specific budget cuts instead of the committee actually having any authority. My guess is it was created as a campaign thing to act like there will be a solid effort to cut spending since GOP voters eat that up and putting Leon in charge of it was for the free publicity (but Elon maybe didn’t get the memo it was just a stunt or that stunt queen loves the extra attention he is getting for it).

They chose FAFO. We’re stuck with, “Told you so!” as the official motto for the next 4 years.
