Hilarious if not incredibly sad. Budget cuts for no apparent reason but to hurt American Citizens. The only goal of doge is to make billionaires richer. For some reason I cannot explain, I do not believe these clowns with conservative values will be very successful in their endeavor. We are insane, doing the same thing over and over. Republicans ruin and destroy, democrats build back. Republicans in the house and senate will tire of the winning sooner rather than later. They will tire of lack of autonomy. They will tire of the threats.

And now we're inexplicably doomed to go back, only this time on steroids. Every single "pick" he's made is the opposite of what every department calls for. And instead of building the country and working to help the people, the job of every president in history, he only issues threats. There is nothing "conservative" about what he's doing, so much for "Republican" values. He's in it for himself, as he always is, only this time he's only surrounding himself with those he knows will follow his "orders."
