DOGE

Generally an unmoderated forum for discussion of pretty much any topic. The focus however, is usually politics.

DOGE staffer resigns after racist social media posts uncovered

https://www.cnbc.com/2025/02/06/musk-do ... posts.html

The DOGE staffer, Marko Elez, was approved by a federal judge to have access to the payment system at the U.S. Treasury, who also restricted his ability to share data from the system.

You could not pay me to marry outside of my ethnicity,” @nullllptr tweeted on X in September, the Journal reported.

“Normalize Indian hate,” the account wrote the same month, in reference to a post noting the prevalence of people from India in Silicon Valley,” according to the Journal.
Don't real federal employees usually have to undergo extensive background checks to ensure they don't have this kind of stuff buried somewhere so they can't be blackmailed by a foreign entity?

This guy was one of two primary DOGE members embedded with the Treasury department.

Musk asks if racist staffer should be reinstated:

https://www.cnbc.com/2025/02/07/elon-mu ... staff.html
Billionaire tech mogul Elon Musk on Friday launched a poll on his social media platform X asking users if a staffer at his DOGE team should be rehired after resigning from his Trump administration post over the exposure of tweets advocating for racism and eugenics.

“Bring back @DOGE staffer who made inappropriate statements via a now deleted pseudonym?” the Tesla
CEO Musk wrote in a tweet, which carried the options “yes” and “no” for users to click on.
I feel like some users here who place results on a pedestal regardless of ethics and the means of obtaining them may approve.

In an alternate universe: "we recognize that Americans are a diverse people and will not tolerate any potential bias against any of our citizens. Everyone deserves to be treated equally."

Jeebus, they're trying to normalize racism

This dude didn't write racist shit decades ago. He literally posted some stuff in 2024.

I get that people can change. And I get that teenagers may say stuff to be edgy. But this dude is 25, posted some of this stuff back in July, and is working with some very sensitive data impacting Americans of all backgrounds. This is one area where zero tolerance absolutely ought to apply.

Another one! No one could have predicted this!

https://www.reuters.com/world/us/staffe ... reddit.com
WASHINGTON, Feb 7 (Reuters) - One of the people working with billionaire Elon Musk in his efforts to overhaul the U.S. government is a Berkeley-educated computer scientist who has boosted white supremacists and misogynists online.

...

Kliger has reposted comments from white supremacist Fuentes, who has at times been banned from social media platforms including Facebook, YouTube and Twitter for hate speech.

...

In the post on X, Fuentes mocks a post praising a photo of an apparently white couple pictured with two light-skinned children and a dark-skinned baby. In his post Fuentes referred to "adopted Black kids", denigrating the apparent interracial adoption. He also used the word "huzz", a pejorative term for women. Reuters could not immediately establish the identity or ethnicity of the people depicted. Fuentes did not respond to a request for comment on the post by email.
Kliger has also reposted social media influencer and self-described misogynist Andrew Tate.

We are witnessing an attack on our government akin to war and the GQP are sniveling accomplices. White supremacists definitely. Russians, too? Whatever, it's treason and all MAGAts like SoupySales are traitors or fools.

FDA recalls more than 2 million baked goods over concerns of listeria contamination

This Brand Of Tahini Is Getting Recalled Due To Salmonella Risk

This is exactly the kind of federal regulatory overreach that POTUS Musk has an "overwhelming (1.5% :roll: ) mandate" to eliminate according to cultists like SoupySales . . . and also libertarians like Jasmine? Who cares if we lose some infants and elderly? We can always make more.

C'mon, safe water and food are a waste of taxpayers dollars. Far better to line the 1%'s pockets with new tax breaks.

Trump, Musk move to oust EPA staff in the Great Lakes region, including dozens responsible for protecting drinking water for 30 million in US and Canada

There are a lot of things that you'd think those on all sides of the political spectrum would agree on. Protecting drinking water and ensuring safe food seems like no brainiers. But such things have been so thoroughly propagandized by culture war bullshit that there's an immediate knee jerk reaction against them.

If the dude posted the stuff when he was fifteen or something, and now as an ADULT gave no indication he thought that way, sure. But this ADULT posted these things less than a year ago. Vance and others keep referring to him as a kid. He's twenty five. They're all degenerates.

Whatever happened to integrity?

Rep. Val Hoyle: I’m leaving DOGE Caucus because of Musk’s actions
Oregon congresswoman leaving DOGE Caucus
She blames Musk for 'blowing things up,' overreaching
Musk exempt from financial disclosure regulations


Rep. Val Hoyle, D-Ore., who was on the Department of Government Efficiency Caucus, announced live on NewsNation air that Elon Musk’s behavior has forced her to leave DOGE.

“It’s like trying to replace your roof when someone is throwing dynamite through the window into your living room. It’s just not possible,” Hoyle explained. “So, I’m leaving the DOGE Caucus.”

“Right now, I just don’t think it’s possible with what’s happening,” Hoyle said, clarifying that the caucus doesn’t directly work with Musk.

“President Trump handed over the keys to the White House, to the Treasury, to government, to an unelected billionaire, and you know, it’s, quite frankly, very disturbing,” Hoyle said.

Hoyle told “CUOMO” that, while those involved in the caucus want to be “good stewards of taxpayer dollars,” Musk is “accountable to no one” and has made it impossible to get work done.

She adds that neither she nor her Republican colleagues have any influence in efficiency operations....
