Excerpts from the legal depositions of good-for-nothing DOGE wastrels Justin Fox and Nate Cavanaugh:

"You don't regret that people might have lost important income ... to support their lives?" an attorney asked Nate Cavanaugh about the grant cancellations. "No. I think it was more important to reduce the federal deficit from $2 trillion to close to zero," Cavanaugh bleated. "Did you reduce the federal deficit?" the attorney asked. "No, we didn't," Cavanaugh admitted.

"Do you think it's inappropriate in any way that someone in their 20s with no experience with grants for the federal government was making personal judgment calls about what grants to cancel?" an attorney asked. "Um, no. I don't think it's inappropriate," the overpaid Cavanaugh sniveled, arguing that he did not need formal education or experience to make informed judgments.

"Did you ever find it problematic that you were, alongside Nate, short-listing for termination projects that had hits on words like Black, homosexual, LGBTQ+?" an attorney asked, prompting an objection and follow up question.

"We were identifying wasteful spend in the government based on Trumpf junta direction. That was the whole reason we were there, was to find savings," Justin Fox whined, though he acknowledged the deficit was never reduced.

"We were identifying wasteful spend in the government based on Trumpf junta direction."

Well at least he got the word "junta" right.

That being said, Just Following Orders isn't an excuse for Treason.

All six of these young men deserve the rope.

"DOGE Gleefully Cut Jobs, Destroyed Careers, Ruined Lives"

And didn't achieve the goal. Not even a small sliver of it.

It takes A LOT of Dunning-Kruger to be proud, at a moment like this.

Hi Snoofy: Per my SOP, "junta" is my substitution for the word 'administration,' otherwise the post is cut and pasted verbatim.

These two pieces of sociopathic pot-smoking----------- are utterly revolting.

@#3 ... And didn't achieve the goal. Not even a small sliver of it. ...

Even Mr Musk is reluctant to call DOGE a large success.

Republicl0wns would give them opiates/opioids and blame them for being losers... true story.

The goal of DOGE was to a) end investigations into Musks companies and b) steal our private data to sell it.

That was it.

There was never $2 TRILLION to be saved. Not even close. It is just amazing how people fell for that obvious of a lie.

Just have to look at what waste is going on at the Oval Bordello:

$10,000,000,000 for Bored of Peace
$10,000,000,000 for his tax returns
$1,000,000,000 per day for his Iran war
$1,000,000,000 for his bribe jet
$30,000,000 for his golf outings.
$5,000,000 for domestic terrorist Ashli Babbit.
$200,000,000 for Krusty Gnomes cosplay ad campaign
$172,000,000 for Krusty Gnomes flying motels
$93,000,000,000 for King Crab, lobster tails, ribeyes, grand pianos, etc for Kegbreath

Not really when you think about it.

They've been reliably stupid and gullible for everything else Trump has done, so it's not really surprising they were gullible and stupid enough to believe DOGE was a serious endeavor.

Did anyone ask these little Nazis about all of the confidential/personal information they stole, and where it may have gone?

#10 | Posted by Whatsleft at 2026-03-18 11:51 AM

The little Nazis are just implementing their Plan.

As summarized by this maga mission statement:

"We want the bureaucrats to be traumatically affected. When they wake up in the morning, we want them to not want to go to work, because they are increasingly viewed as the villains. We want their funding to be shut down... We want to put them in trauma."

Mission accomplished!!

Cruelty is the point in a policy based on Revenge and Retribution.

The empty, vapid, dead look in the eyes of these DOGE staffers screams psychopath.

These guys have a high potential to become serial killers.

On top of personal health information on Americans and social security numbers, some DOGE psychopaths had access to US nuclear energy secrets. i0.wp.com

On Tuesday 5 Nov 2024, another day that will live in infamy, 76,535,898 imbeciles voted to give these psychopaths access to America's guarded secrets, from SSNs to nuclear power, while making obscene amounts of money for themselves as they destroyed people's livelihoods.

Re 8

Looks like you need to add $200 billion.

Whisky Pete needs $200 billion more for the War that is not a War.

#15 | Posted by donnerboy at 2026-03-19 11:12 AM

ABSOLUTELY NO REGRETS....AND THERE SHOULD BE NONE.

why ? because of this.......

"In lengthy depositions, two DOGE employees -- Justin Fox and Nate Cavanaugh -- defended the effort to cut "useless agencies" as part of DOGE's attempt to reduce the federal deficit."

"USELESS AGENCIES....or as they're known among normal people....stupid effing s/t
created by leftist fanatical dopes for the following reasons.

a) payoffs
b) blackmail
c) extrotion
d) greedy bastardos'
e) dems are effing freaks
f) all of the above.

One year after the Trump administration began its dismantling of USAID, a model that tracks the impact of USAID funding cuts on global disease prevention programs estimates that more than 762,000 people have died as a result of those cuts, including more than 500,000 children.
