What this article is missing is that this has been the plan all along. Musk grabbed god knows how much personal data, tRump is having a data base crated so he can crush dissent and anyone objecting to his decisions. Anyone. By freezing you monthly SS check or the payment you get for disability or canceling your credit card, emptying your savings account you name it. Of all the things this idiot has done this is his coup de gras and it simply cannot be allowed. The tRump admin needs to all be RICO for crimes against humanity! Arrest them all!

Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act. Specifically used to corral an illegal enterprise like the mafia for example. And th tRump admin is nothing but a mafia like organization and this Act is absolutely perfect to rein them in!

TACO tRump is grabbing the reins of DOGE to fluff up his over-bloated ego? Is this your synopsis?

I'm more concerned about TACO tRump's alter ego. Maybe that wilting lettuce and moldy cheese that scrambles his brain is akin to something about DOGE that presently escapes our understanding. E.g., how deep does the rabbit hole go and to what end? What is the hidden agenda of Thiel, the Koch Brothers, Vought, et al.? Why are so many of the top businesses and corporation leaders so silent, acquiescent, capitulant? The Pentagon? Is our military and Intelligence leadership really that easily discombobulated? I'm just brainstorming, but I think everyone's missing a much bigger picture here.

DOGE is a Trojan Horse to usher in Project 2025. IMHO

I'm still trying to process Project 2025. The year suggests that its proponents expect full implementation of its directives this year. That's frightening. I also keep thinking about the Reagan through Bush presidencies where they kept talking about "The New World Order." Are the two linked? I think so, but in my quest to figure it out, I can't find the edges. My inclination is to focus on the solutions, personal, national, global. This is damned hard to do, though, when they're snatching people off the streets, threatening our individual and collective health, our livelihoods, and even sending children to unknown destinations that probably have horrible deaths awaiting them. I want to scream!!!!

I hear you. We have quite nice gamelands here that take a scream well. I highly recommend.

And yes, their goal is about a year and I'm hearing they were going faster than expected.

Trump is a racketeer. It’s his strength and undoing. Isn’t there a lawsuit pending against DOGE and their violation of FOIA?

Isn't it a lawsuit in Judge Chutkin's court that doge wasn't legal?

What is it all about? Definitely not about the numbers or the money.

I was joking (and cracking up), Marie, because you were talking about gaming and I was in the middle of a game!
