Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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!

They stole every single Americans PII and ran with it.

[–] Red0ctober@lemmy.world 62 points 4 months ago

Exactly. They Accomplished the goal, no point in sticking around to get caught

[–] billwashere@lemmy.world 9 points 4 months ago

Yeah I totally believe it was a data grab. And there is no putting that horse back in the barn.

[–] Bakkoda@sh.itjust.works 7 points 4 months ago

They had direct access to the Treasury. RIP

It’s ironic they found new roles for DOGE employees instead of laying them off when the job was done.

[–] MsPenguinette@lemmy.world 25 points 4 months ago (1 children)

“When the job was done” is very generous of you

[–] bus_factor@lemmy.world 13 points 4 months ago

The job was to do as much damage to the government as possible.

[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 10 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Maybe their new role is "Laundry Handler" in prison.

[–] RagingRobot@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago

Official Cock Gobbler

[–] JeeBaiChow@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago

Well, they need someone to sift through the data for dirt on people who disagree with their ideas.

[–] chronicledmonocle@lemmy.world 69 points 4 months ago (1 children)

They grifted and now their work is done. They saved nothing and destroyed a bunch of "liberal services", while mining citizen's data.

No reason for it to still exist, in their mind.

[–] JeeBaiChow@lemmy.world 5 points 4 months ago

Oh, I'm sure they saved the data too. And copied it to other devices. And are selling it to third parties. Only bit that's missing is using it to extort citizens that don't agree with musk's agenda.

Maximum efficiency

Probably handed over the data to palantir and Thiel to create a kill list. Miller said he thinks that the us should only have 100 million people. At the very least they’re building an ai database to profile every American. One thing is for certain they aren’t building these databases for the benefit of the working class

[–] Suavevillain@lemmy.world 5 points 4 months ago

The biggest grift in American history. Doge is now gone. They didn't save any money. Just systematically cut jobs for groups they didn't like and stole Americans private info.
