Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

If Harry and Lloyd were president and vice president, they would be smarter and more competent than who are currently in charge.
Listing living people as dead in an official database is 99% likely a crime.
Ok, it's a crime. And?
Legality means nothing when you're the law. Consider: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uttar_Pradesh_Association_of_Dead_People
Isn't that assault?
Nah
Yesss make them work for it
o7 Greg, you madlad
Big balls attacks again. The stunlock intensifies
This sounds oddly similar to the early days of SS which started as an organized bunch of goons serving the nazi party as security guards.
To be clear for any dummies like me who just woke up and are reading this, this comment is comparing DOGE to the early days of the Nazi Schutzstaffel, not comparing Greg's bravery to the early days of Social Security

DOGE == WW2 SS
SA, but they don't know it yet.
You must use long knives to trim the fat.
They are trying to take over Social Security, so they can have the acronym.
So we've officially got a Gestapo in the country now?
C'mon guys.... let's wake the fuck up here.
Oh this just keeps getting more and more fun every day as someone who is on SSDI, Medicaid/Medicare, and HUD housing. Cut my SSDI and I lose access to everything. I mean it's "illegals" now, the rest of us "parasites" next?
That's exactly it. Owners want people desperate, because desperate people work for less. As you point out, they start with “illegals”, but they will eventually come for the old and the disabled too, because some people will have to pick up where Social Security left and care for them and, in doing so, will become even more desperate. Who will risk their job fighting for their rights knowing that not only their own livelihood, but also that of their old mother or their disabled brother is on the line? We need to be clear: this is not about government efficiency or even a crackdown on “illegals”, but a war — the owners' war on us workers and our kin.
They've been manufacturing consent in a similar way in Germany, agitating against immigrants and dubbing some or all people in your situation “Sozialschmarotzer” –“social parasites”–. Under the pretense of fighting those threats they conjure, they've been dismantling social security — without DOGE's viciousness, but bit by bit.

This is true for those who have support locally. I don't have anyone I can rely on locally right now if this starts happening to the DML. There is no other safety net for me. The safety net I do have was already riddled with holes and partially on fire BEFORE Jan 20th.
Also, this hasn't even started happening and already people are struggling paycheck to paycheck and won't risk it by protesting -- at least not to the point where we can get sustainable numbers over weeks in all 50 states.
This guy fought harder than our democratic leaders.
LOUDER FOR THE PEOPLE IN THE BACK
Why isn't this DOGE person arrested for assault? We need the name, if our justice system fails to work because of the government prevents it then our Constitution grants us the right to correct this via the 2nd Ammendment.
Because it's sensationalised and he didn't physically dragged from his desk by Doggy goon.
But his objections did not go over well with Trump political appointees. And so on Thursday, the security guards in Pearre’s office told him it was time to leave.
They walked Pearre out of the building, capping a momentous internal battle over the novel strategy
The article is based on another article by Washington Post, which did not mention any goon from Doggy nor any dragging.
Why isn't this DOGE person arrested for assault?
Because the rule of law has collapsed in America. Stop waiting for it, you are already there

Fun fact, this is "assault" and the guy has a wonderful civil case.
Fun fact #2: civil cases are not criminal cases and are not subject to pardons.

We're only a few months in, but this administration already needs Nuremberg Trials with the death-penalty as an option. These folks are actual overt traitors to our country, they are the enemies from within. And they should NOT get to just comfortably retire...they all need to be on death row.
The Daily Beast is really burying the actual story with that headline. The article is about Musk declaring alive people “dead” in a federal database. A database that is referenced by the whole world.

Sounds like assault and maybe other legal issues. They aren’t LEOs.
Eventually someone is going to shoot some DOGE agents dead and I won't be mad.
