If there's one thing any lazy-ass worker - federal government, state government, private company, whatever - does, it's check email, if only to make sure your boss isn't looking for you and trying to make a record of your absence. Good. So they should have nothing to worry about. Right? 1

If anyone isn't outraged by the waste, fraud, and abuse of government spending that's pissing away tax dollars and borrowed money that's been uncovered to date, with more to follow, then they must be in on the take. The corruption is systemic. As a taxpayer you should be angry and want your frickin money back. 1

B-Man Posted February 25 Posted February 25 Trump is good at explaining the "5 bullet points" email. I've been critical of what looked too harsh and unnecessarily scary, but Trump made it sound better to me in that clip (which is part of a press conference yesterday with Macron). As Trump put it: "A lot of people are not answering because they don't even exist." The email is at test that at least separates everyone into 2 groups, those who answered and those who did not answer. Among those who did not answer is some number of employees who are simply not there at all. "That's how badly" the government is run, Trump asserts. Some who don't answer could still exist, but at least the nonexistent workers would be concentrated among the nonanswerers. (An answer could come "from" a nonexistent worker could answer by fraud.)

What a horrible way to spin a survey. The question, “should there be a U.S. government agency to cut waste” and “is doge helping make major cuts” are terrible instruments! Like sure, DOGE is making cuts. This has absolutely no bearing on if people approve or not. It asks simply if people think DOGE is doing its job. The question should be “Do you approve of DOGE.” That same poll even shows a majority of people think DOGE shouldn’t have access to sensitive information.
