Has anyone heard this fascist administration ever reveal what they are doing to increase the efficiency

of the delivery of public services to the people? That is what DOGE is supposed to mean---Department of Governmental Efficiency.

Simply cutting employees isn't a way to increase efficiency. Have you heard of the auditing they did to assess efficiency levels before they fired tens of thousands of government workers? Have you heard of any goal-setting or any key objectives to increase efficiency? Have you heard of them talking about optimizing workflow, or processes, or adopting Lean or Six Sigma principles to increase efficiency? Or employee training to improve efficiency? Have you ever heard them talk about improvements to the communications or decision-maling processes to increase efficiency? Have they ever heard them talk about improving the delivery of services? No. They have just gone in there with a chainsaw.

There is no plan to make any public service better for the American people. They may as well say Fuck You to the American people. Musk calls Mark Kelly a traitor simply for expressing support for Ukraine. Musk is the traitor. He has made his loyalty to Putin clear, as has Trump and Vance. He is gaslighting America. He has never shared one idea to improve the efficiency of government services. Nothing will be more efficient. Everything will be less efficient. DOGE is therefore a lie. It has nothing to do with efficiency. Elon Musk lies about it everyday to the American people. His objective isn't about efficiency. Musk and Trump are simply taking what is there to serve the American people and they are either burning it to the ground or privatizing it. They are privatizing it as part of their plan to create an oligarchy in the image of Russia. Trump said Russian oligarchs will be welcome if they use his $5m visa. Meanwhile, Ukrainians in America fear deportation if their temporary legal status is revoked. Trump is moving nearer to his goal every day, using the lie that is DOGE, headed by the biggest douchebag in America.

Goodbye to the 538 polling website. At least we can still hear how popular Donald Trump is.........from Donald Trump!

Goodbye 538

Oh, FiveThirtyEight, you did your best,
With polls and graphs—yes, quite obsessed.
You tracked the trends, the ups, the dips,
But now you're gone—so much for tips!

No more charts to calm the nerves,
No more models, stats, or curves.
Now to gauge where Donald stands,
We must rely on his own hands.

"Biggest numbers! Best you've seen!"
"Crowds stretch longer than a dream!"
"Polls? Who needs 'em? Just ask me—"
"I'm winning BIG, tremendously!"

So farewell, dear polling site,
Truth is now just… his birthright.
Goodbye, data, we’ll miss you so,
But Trump’s still huuuuge—just ask his show!

Liberal leaning opinion poll result: one in ten say the Democratic Party has as a good strategy for responding to Trump

A new survey from Blueprint, a liberal research firm, found that registered voters have lost the plot on what—if anything—Democratic lawmakers are doing to oppose Trump’s sweeping agenda to shrink the federal workforce, slash essential government programs, and roll back regulations and rights.

A whopping 40 percent of respondents said that the Democratic Party doesn’t have any strategy at all for responding to Trump. Meanwhile, 24 percent of respondents said that the party did have a strategy but that it wasn’t working, and only 10 percent of respondents said that it had a good strategy.

Let's be clear. Trump has delayed (probably canceled) tariffs on automakers for one reason and one reason alone

To save Tesla.

And it was done on Musk's insistence.

How do we know this? Because it would be true to form, based on everything we have seen before.

Is the invasion of Greenland more likely? Tariffs show Trump is surrounded by yes-men.

His ideas may be idiotic and damaging, but nobody is going to stop him. The village idiot is in full control. Do you think a Greenland invasion is likely? How would it play out? What territories would follow? If he can esculate the trade war with Canada and build tensions, there's a pretext for invading Canada.
