Conservatism emphasizes self-reliance, which is a principle I stand firmly behind. We must instill in people the power to depend on themselves, to value the stability and discipline that conservatism preaches. Only through such self-sufficiency can we truly forge a path to freedom and dignity.

Trump Floats Giving 20% of Savings from DOGE ‘To American Citizens’
President Donald Trump floated the idea of giving 20 percent of the money that Elon Musk and DOGE have saved back to the American people.

President Donald Trump and Elon Musk discuss transparency at DOGE and economic pressures facing Americans in an exclusive interview on 'Hannity.'

Nobody is correcting them because nobody takes them seriously, they don’t matter and they’re not worth the effort.
Oh, then no reason to be upset when you see articles from them. After all "nobody" is taking them seriously, so all good.
Sure, but he had 4 years to find waste like this, and he didn't. Because him and the Democrats make too much money from secret money deals like this.
That's my point.
Seems to me that if Breitbart news were just making this up and lying; that in itself would be a good news story for other media.
But I don't see any news orgs denying these figures or accusing Breitbart of lying.
So you don't think it's true?
They just don’t want the audit.
That's exactly it. I hope there is one and I hope names are named. lol
Biden can help us find it!

And it still hasn't been fixed.
You win!
Fuckin' loving what DOGE is doing! So fun!

democrats seemed pretty cool with it too. Biden was in office for last 4 years, brah.
I have first hand knowledge. I was fed employee for 5 years. State employee for 15 years. Some people legit would be in the office for a meeting, then go home. This was pre-covid, so WFH wasn't a thing. And they def weren't working.
Where I was at, it was pretty much known that all of the people who had been there over 10 years just skated through after that.
It all allowed me to retire early, so I can't complain too much. But the fuck-offs I encountered there definitely have inspired my voting choices. Also, the fucking staff meetings were ridiculous. The literally had a meeting over everything rather than just email it.
I'm happy to see them purged.
The heavy precision-guided bombs that Biden withheld arrived in Israel on Saturday night after being released by President Donald Trump.

Israel’s Netanyahu signals he’s moving ahead with Trump’s plan to move Palestinians from Gaza
Netanyahu discussed the plan with U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who kicked off a Middle East visit by endorsing Israel's war aims in Gaza, saying Hamas “must be eradicated.” That created further doubt around the shaky ceasefire as talks on its second phase are yet to begin.

All that happened before Trump took office. You think this just started in the last month or so?! lmao
Were you this angry when Biden was in office and did nothing to help you?
I'm having a great time so far.
None of that is gonna happen. I'm not worried. You have a chance to vote for some democrat next election. Do do that. I like Trump.
I'm not in trouble at all. I'm financially independent, in a rural town, with my own place and land, and I don't work for anyone.
And I also know that you the world isn't going to end just because Trump is president. You all just doomscroll all day. Go outside. No one takes this as seriously as Lemmy does. lol
USA just needs more luigis.
What do you mean?
Because I'm not mad about it. In fact, a LOT of the country isn't mad about it. That's how and why Trump won the election.
Lemmy needs to come to terms with the fact that Lemmy's opinions are not the majority right now.
First time. Probably. Maybe second time, but I was bigger and the girls liked me more, so maybe I developed my game then.
I've been this clever since the third grade!
