I don't doubt the proof exists, but are you referring to something specific that I missed?
Discussion
I think this is a supporter of you know who, taking their allegations as fact.
Note that they only post about past crimes but have nothing negative to say about the current administration.
Personally I'm opposed to past crimes of the US government but also opposed to the sudden centralization of power in a single man whose followers are incapable of admitting he has any faults.
You say "drain the swamp" I hear "kick out everyone who opposes me to create a single party government"
That is just the ranting of 1 history buff.

Ummm. What? Are you not following the cuts Doge is making? Clearly what he's referring to. It's all happing in the open
If you believe the allegations from DOGE, you assume that the government have suddenly had a massive honest streak, while also holding the belief that the entire government is corrupt. That is a contradiction.
Any sudden airing of wrongdoing is either a distraction from something far worse or freeing up corrupt money that was going to someone elses buddies to go to your buddies instead.
I think there is a misconception. The DOGE has a legal authority to subpoena any civil agent that withholds spending requests. They didn't become honest, They are threatening Peggy in accounting with a lawsuit for non-compliance. I think Elon is autistic enough to do this kind of thing for efficiency. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I replied to the other npub that replied but it applies to your comment as well.
They aren't allegations. They are literally publishing the receipts
As slowly as I can.
They just created a government agency with ultimate power over all other government agencies to root out corruption, with 0 elected officials and no oversight.
They made a few token sacrifices to the public of people who were already no longer politically expedient for their plans, so you are cheering them on.
I'm saying a government agency with ultimate power over all other government agencies to root out corruption, with 0 elected officials and no oversight has always been a key step in the process of turning a democracy into a dictatorship.
Not alarming at all from a guy who said at a campaign rally "Just vote for me one more time and you'll never have to vote again"
I'm not supporting any of the crimes that have been called out. I'm saying you still don't hate the government enough.
🤣 ok man. You're saying I don't hate government enough then pleading for "elected officials with oversight". The executive branch has been beyond it's scope for decades. There is a single person elected to run the executive and this time around it was Trump. He doesn't need "elected officials with oversight" to cleanup his own branch. Every dollar they cut is one less dollar I or my children have to shoulder. I am going to celebrate it.
It all exists on a sliding scale. I'm an anarchist. If I'm going to be stuck under a government I'd like some sort of at least pretend feedback between the people and that government.
With DOGE the American people have no say at all, not even an illusion of say.
I keep saying it over and over, Trump is mortal and 78. Do you really want to give all that power away and blindly trust every leader that may come with it not knowing who or what party for the rest of you and your children's lifetimes?
Time preference isn't just about how you save your money. There is a way to cripple the government without a dictatorship in the middle, it is just slower. Given that 0% of dictatorships in history worked out well for the people, I think it is a stupid impatient gamble to risk one to end some corruption a little faster.
Bitcoin is here and ready to kill fiat. We just need to stay the course. If we end up under a dictatorship that executes bitcoiners, we aren't going to get the mass adoption we need to make it happen.
You've got it backwards... Federal agencies exist under the executive branch. We elect (democracy) a president to run the executive. Past presidents have let the executive branch metastisize into a monster that no one person can understand, let alone lead. The checks and balances that are there to constrain the executive have failed leading up to this moment, resulting in the administrative state bloat/fraud. FINALLY, the ultimate check was activated and the States overwhelmingly elected a president who specifically ran on doing exactly what he's doing now; removing the cancer in the executive branch. We aren't giving power away, we're culling power that's already been abused.
you're both making pretty compelling points.
This is where we are talking past each other. He sees DOGE taking power away from groups like USAID and decides that DOGE means a smaller less powerful government. I see the power that DOGE itself had to be given to perform its function and view it as an expansion of government power.
I hope like hell he is right, I just don't see it that way.
Also for the record, it's pronounced DOGE and anyone who pronounces it DOGE sounds like an idiot.
LOL
What rock have you been living under?? 🤣
I'm merely asking what exact piece of news is being referenced, rather than operating off of "general vibes".
I'll give you a hint. Main stream legacy corporate media outlets might be talking about this but they are not giving people the truth of the matter and are in fact spinning it as they usually do because it involves many of these outlets.
why stop at "hints" (which again is "vibes")? Why not say specifically what is being referenced? Especially if it's so blatantly obvious , it should be very easy to cite.
and before you get the wrong idea: I'm not expressing skepticism about what you're saying. It's plausible! I just want to hear specifics.
