Rules:
- The mods are fallible; if you've been banned or had a post/comment removed, please appeal.
- Off-topic posts will be removed. If you don't know what "Leopards ate my Face" is, try reading this post.
- If the reason your post meets Rule 1 isn't in the source, you must add a source in the post body (not the comments) to explain this. If the reason is in the source but is tedious to find (e.g. in a lengthy video), you must add an explanation for where it is.
- Posts should use high-quality sources (for a rough idea, check out this list), and posts should retain the title (if one exists) from works like news articles, videos, etc. You may (but need not) edit your post if the source changes the title. Other types of posts should have a title which accurately, relatively neutrally describes their contents.
- For accessibility reasons, an image of text must either have alt text or a transcription in the post body.
- Reposts within 1 year or the Top 100 of all time are subject to removal. Within moderator discretion, this doesn't just include reposts of the exact same media but also includes e.g. a secondary source telling basically the exact same story as another that was already posted.
- This is not exclusively a US politics community. You're encouraged to post stories about anyone from any place in the world at any point in history as long as you meet the other rules.
- All Lemmy.World Terms of Service apply.

With DOGE, everybody charged with securing these buildings and agencies just stood aside, and let these arrogant, disrespectful, UNSANCTIONED children, led and paid by a foreign Oligarch, plunder every bit of our data, and dismantle every regulatory agency that was investigating his companies. He went in with many investigations and lawsuits, and came out with none, and the combined governmental data of every single American citizen. It was nothing less than 21st Century PIRACY.
The first DOGE team that tried to breach a Federal Agency should have been gunned down in the lobby. That would have solved a whole lot of problems right there. Nothing in the aftermath of that action could compare with the irreparable damage DOGE did to this country. And on the heels of their success have been many more grifters, like Palantir, Lewandowski's Syndicate, the crypto scammers, the poly market riggers, the stock market manipulators, and more.
We've seen how MAGA falls apart at the slightest resistance. They NEVER think past the first step. A few bullets right up front, followed by a long, loud, noisy trial about the rights of foreign Sociopathic Oligarchs and the Epstein Predatory Class to exploit the rest of us for everything in our lives would have been productive by stopping their Blitzkreig right up front.
If it's one thing we've learned from these losers (by being even bigger losers), is that we should always call their bluff, because they are ALWAYS bluffing.
We may have lost in the past, but we have intelligence and morality, something they do not possess, respect, or even understand. We can learn and improve, they can't. They are virtuosically incompetent, and they'll stay stupid, and that's our competitive edge.
So it's time that we learned from our mistakes, pledge to not repeat them, form a coherent plan, and take back the planet from the MAGA Apes.
