K D Posted February 15 Posted February 15 14 hours ago, B-Man said: It is a tactic that he and many others here use They misread articles or as in this case claim that it something different than it obviously is (gibberish) and then insist that you spell it out for them. They do it several times a day. . . . . . and then they get hilariously indignant when they are called out on it. Just watch and see. 1 1

B-Man Posted February 16 Posted February 16 DOGE scores big court win, allowed access to data on 3 federal agencies A federal judge in Washington on Friday handed Elon Musk's government efficiency team a win by declining a request to temporarily block it from accessing sensitive data from at least three federal agencies. Unions and nonprofits attempted to stop Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) from accessing records at the Departments of Labor, Health and Human Servicesand the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. U.S. District Judge John Bates wrote in an opinion that the government was likely correct in categorizing DOGE as an agency, thereby allowing it to detail its staff to other government departments. </snip> Attorneys for unions representing Labor Department employees argued during last week's hearing that, absent court intervention, DOGE could access protected agency information, including the financial and medical records of millions of Americans, as well as employee safety and workplace complaints. https://www.foxnews.com/politics/doge-scores-big-court-win-allowed-access-data-3-federal-agencies 1
Homelander Posted February 16 Posted February 16 Elon Musk and his young tech jocks are not forensic accountants. This is simply another disinformation campaign that consistently deceives MAGA supporters. Another fun fact: Since 1995, Republicans have controlled the “purse” 12 times; Democrats 4 times. 1 1

Key words “right mind” and “logic”. 4

Have you calmed down/sobered up from last night?

A slam dunk once it’s fully adjudicated?

Pretty sure coming in under budget in every other area of life is generally good. Not so for the US Government? Unconstitutional? Sorry I upset you. I hope you don’t think being a lesbian or trans is somehow a bad thing. 1

Perhaps we will use the money domestically to fix the problems our citizens have. Congress seemed more concerned with everyone outside our border rather than inside. 1

Does cancelling cancer research and gutting institutions like the National Institute of Health benefit the "citizens?" If so, how?

They didn’t cancel cancer research they capped the amount they could spend on overhead not the money for research. 1

You make assumptions about people here every day. Generally that they are racist, a Nazi, or not up to your standards of piety. I have made an assumption about you as a function of reading your posts and where you get some of your source material. Let’s not act too outraged about it. Nobody cares. 1
