      Seriously, people hear “you can be a piece of shit for a little.” And jump on the opportunity, and then wonder why people don’t like them.

    Throw every last one in prison immediately. Make sure they spill their guts on musk and theil if they ever want to see the light of day again or just add them to the guillotine list

      Yeah, Trump’s DoJ is going to get right on that. These guys are loyal, hard-working operatives, they’ll have new jobs real quick.

    I’m sure they’ll get picked up by The Heritage Foundation or some other Right Wing org and protected. Can’t have the spineless lackeys spilling the beans.

    Well that’s just ridiculous. There’s far more than only prosecution to be worried about.

    And who’s going to prosecute them? The Democrats? Don’t make me laugh. As was the case in the last Democrat term, they’ll just nurse their thumbs with their assholes for years, then maybe half-ass an attempt at getting some low-hanging fruit when the public voices become too loud to ignore, and achieve a whole lot of nothing.

    I truly hope I’m wrong about this.

    a senior DOGE figure named Donald Park tried to reassure his colleagues that they were still ‘brothers in arms’ and that Musk would continue to protect them.That led to another protesting and advising, “Guys, seriously get your own lawyer if you need it. Elon’s great, but you need to watch your own back.”

    “Guys have you tried being a rich billionaire who can buy your own way out of trouble? Now get back to work.”

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That’s all the rules!
