DOGE: As I said in my last post I checked two huge savings and they were not wasteful and none of yoh provoded a single link for an actual wasteful spending that was cut and saved al ot of money - one was just lies from Musk and Trump that even DOGE does not want to repeat and the other was 80k a year for WSJ which is not even a drop in an ocean of money.

It is extremely incompetent to leak military plans in a group Chat, noclue what you are trying to argue. If Biden did that every one of you would have been screeching about his unfitness due to dementia until the end of times but suddenly being absolutely terrible at your job is no big deal to you.


Based on your response, it's clear you did not do due diligence. 80k isn't even a notable percentage of what is there.

I'm asking about your standards of qualifications and how you apply them equally

The 80k was the one example one of you DOGE fanboys could provide, I am well aware that 80k is basically nothing. If it is so easy to find huge savings of wasteful spends on the DOGE Website, provide a single link? I tried and didn't find one, and instead of just providing a link all you do is claiming I need to look harder instead of just linking something.

I really do not understand your second point. I also hated how the Biden administration supported Israel, and Biden was clearly too old to run for president. I also dislike a lot of things my local politicians do, even the ones I voted for. I just call out shit when I see it, and that was clearly a career ending mistake a few weeks into the job from Hegseth. If you can't see that you are either being misinformed or voluntarily ignorant.

Still no link of great savings? It should be so easy to really own me providing a single link, shouldn't it?

I've already cited the source. I'm flattered you think I want to 'own' you. Would be nice to have a more informed discussion though

Can you point me to one big achievement from DOGE you already cited?

Are you dense or pretending to be dense?

scroll down and see the hundreds of contracts that were cut based on their findings

I've been hoping, waiting that Sky would provide their own source highlighting ongoings of DOGE that are not so great.

The gov source obviously highlights the good, and the net sum. There is a data gap though right now. Allegedly their data will become more complete and realtime as they work in the tooling.

Honestly, much better government site than most. Have had to deal with a lot of gov sites in a past job. Shoddy web 1.0 apparitions

There's a disconnect in how this stuff happens and what people think. When government makes changes to the tens of thousands of agreements they have with other agencies, with vendors and suppliers, there isn't a central database where it neatly categorizes and publicizes all of this stuff. Before DOGE, all this stuff would happen in the background and no lay person would ever be aware. Sure maybe a journalist wants to publicize something, but overwhelmingly many of these changes would not be publicized, just like 99% of us had no idea the amount of DEI dollars USAID was distributing all over the globe.

This tracker is not official but it's the best they can do before these changes are actually catalogued and disclosed from some official source.

I can navigate the website just fine, can you? I am asking for the 10th time by now for a concrete example of something that was cut that:

1. Had a lot of money
2. Was wasted in your opinion

That should be incredibly easy if you think DOGE is doing good work and I still didn't get a single (literally none) link. What's going on?
