Im sure many of the reforms were good but also instead of saying not the same! (which it isn't) MAYBE we should stop accepting republic framing period. Clinton fucked up alot. NAFTA without adequate labor protections, unemployment, job training and shoring up the communities that lost factories and were hollowed out. Welfare reform allowed MS to use money for poor people of fucking volleyball stadiums and crises pregnancy centers. So maybe add a fuck clinton in there, even if it was the same(it wasnt), it was fucked up then so stop it!

So these idiots say Elon is acting "just like Clinton and Gore," meanwhile JD Vance is claiming that Greta Thunberg is scarier than Elon. I'm beginning to think these guys are not that smart.

The "Cleveland Torso Murderer" is a very fine epithet, but I still take local pride in Lenny "The Quahog" Paradiso. https://www.capecodtimes.com/story/news/2008/02/28/convicted-killer-quahog-paradiso-dies/52594823007

They also took the student loan business away from the banks and created the direct loan program, which was/is run by government. The horrors!

Two years later the Gingrich Republicans brought the banks back and they stole hundreds of millions of tax dollars until Obama put them out of business. Bet your bottom dollar Trump will bring them back.

Plus FDR launched a war against Germany with Russia, so it is just great if President Zorg and King and proven rapist Trump do so.

Democrats are just hypocrites.

Why aren’t these DOGE incels flogging the strawman of all the welfare frauds driving Cadillacs and buying Alaskan crab legs at Market Basket?

The biggest difference seems to be that with Gore's group, we knew who was responsible. In contrast, Elon and his Lil' Rascals are in charge when it comes to decision-making and yet mysteriously 100% "I was just making a suggestion!!!" when it comes to facing any kind of accountability. We aren't even supposed to know who they ARE, much less who is paying them, what conflicts of interest they might have, what their scope of work is, etc.

I'm not amused to find that every store I've patronized in approx. the past five years has multiple "offers" for free stuff, gift cards, and customer satisfsction surveys, and promotional sales in my inbox.

DOGE leaks like a sinking ship. I think that's what's did it. And I don't think any of these offers are legit.

I've taken screen shots and will be notifying my state AG office of fraud. I can't block it fast enough.

I'm guessing Gore and Clinton didn't also refer to hardworking federal employees as worthless criminals and their agencies as "criminal organizations."

In the linked article there is a Maga troll named Bob who keeps asking "give me evidence that that ReGo saved money. I'll wait." Someone noted there was a balanced budget, Bob of course responded with "yawn." With a link to Cato instiute (of course!) debunking that Clinton balanced the budget. As if to say "give me an example that I can accept, and nothing you say will do! "

It's the unusual goal-post shifting. Having debate Creationists for decades, I' know it well. "Show me a transitional fossil! No! That's not a transitional fossil as I define it!"

Yeah, I almost responded, but I then realized that MAGATS are mostly trolling.

That's why they shitcanned the inspectors general.

Researched and reviewed oversight? Fuck that, we just want to get rid of the stuff we don't like.

Dang leopards:

"Fox News host Jesse Watters said Wednesday that people need to be more sensitive when it comes to discussing the mass federal layoffs by President Donald Trump’s nonofficial Department of Government Efficiency after he “finally found one person who got DOGE’d and it hit me in the heart.”

Watters went on to tell his co-host Harold Ford that they need to be more sensitive when it comes to discussing these layoffs going forward. “We just need to be a little bit less callous with the way, Harold, we talk about DOGE’ing people. I want that to sink in,” he said.

Watters accused Democrats on Tuesday of being overly sensitive and upset about the layoffs while arguing that some of those being let go are being given cushy buyout packages and severance."

Al Gore’s REGO project involved some agency restructuring and RIFs, but didn’t hand the departees an exit letter implying they were incompetent layabouts and tanking their chances for future employment. OPM head Vought vowed to bring federal employees some ‘trauma’. The cruelty is not only the point, but the defining difference.
