The cuts, highlighted on an earlier version of the "wall of receipts" posted by Elon Musk's team, contained mistakes that vastly inflated the amount of money saved.

Remember how, two months ago all manner of loudmouth MAGA party hacks were jumping on the DOGE bandwagon, declaring that the whole thing was better than sliced bread. Now--crickets. Funny how your local MAGA congressguy or gal doesn't want to talk about cuts to all those useless departments like the Park Service, IRS, SSA, FAA, etc. Instead, they are expressing relief that some foreign-born K addict and his band of teenaged hackers are doing all the work--good or bad--and the elected officials whose constituents are affected need not take the blame...

The Art of the Steal.

America voted for a lying thief.

Don't act surprised when he continues to lie and steal.

This will be an SOP moving forward.

Grand announcements of the lie and whispers of the corrections.

The idiots will dutifully repeat the lie for the rest of their lives.

The executive branch is a complete fraud.

Good to know.

Hey Lamplighter

AKA Dumb ----
AKA stupid POS

It's not a link you ------- ------, it was a sentence, one right after the other on their ------- tv broadcast. It's not a news story you ------- clown.

Tagline right on the bottom "DOGE making no cuts"

A few minutes later the tagline at the bottom of their broadcast read:

"DOGE cuts hitting red districts"

I get that you're a ------- ------ed leftist but can you understand anything under the ------- sun or is their literally no hope for you?

You are mischaracterizing as well as conflating several different issues here. DOGE is making cuts but most are not amounting in cost savings in either the short or long term:

DOGE's mass firings will only make government less efficient
When you treat federal workers like garbage, you won't attract America's best and brightest to work for you.
www.msnbc.com

Dozens of DOGE receipts' saved no money and killed contracts meant to boost efficiency
Many of the receipts published by Elon Musk's DOGE aren't receipts at all--they're negotiated deals with vetted vendors who might do future government work.

Busted: DOGE humiliated by brutal fact-checking, walks back bogus savings claims
www.msnbc.com

Embarrassing missteps from Musk, DOGE are increasingly unavoidable
As avoidable mistakes pile up, the Department of Government Efficiency is quickly becoming a fiasco at a historic scale.

Veteran-owned small firms hit first by VA's push for $2B in contract cuts

Service-disabled veteran entrepreneurs bear 89% of the claimed savings. Veterans Affairs Secretary Doug Collins claims this is just step one.

Dotard and Leon really have it for disabled suckers and losers.

TheBull is being lied to, and that poster loves it.

Kudos to Gal for taking the time to explain the obvious, which these days is incredibly difficult for MAGAts to comprehend.

You want to see someyhing sad?

Read a couple of stupid posts by RHEBULL where he thinks postin MSDNC is clever so he does it over and over and over. News to THEBULL, it wasn't clever the first 10 times you posted it and it isn't getting more clever as you repeat it over and over.
