    Right, but we have to have the dumbass teenagers that are breaking into the Treasury payment systems and USAID and so on focus on ending “waste” by…cutting life-saving things in USAID. Also, they will be ending a lot of “fraud” by making sure farmers have no place to sell their food.

    But at least little d gets to play golf at our expense. I’m sure that’s not abuse.

    Does anyone know what the MAGA crowd thinks of this? Do they even know that this is what is happening with all the money doge is “saving”? I mean obviously it’s not just this, but in general all of these rich assholes just treating the government like their personal piggy bank?

      They don’t care. They like the DOGE stuff because they believe he is targeting left-wing people and projects in the government, they don’t care about the money at all.

      You can never pin them down on hypocrisy because they just don’t care. There is no light behind their eyes.

      To be fair most presidents have worked hard, for better or for worse, so they do deserve some R&R. Not putins bitch though

      I think this is the first, or maybe second, article I’ve seen about Trump golfing since Jan 20. I don’t think they’re acting like it’s new, they’re just reporting on how much hit has already cost us.

          I was giving you the benefit of the doubt that you meant just the golf. If you think everything else is “the exact same fucking thing he did the first goddamn time,” then you either have a really shitty memory, or you are not paying attention.

              Yes, he’s doing many of the things he did last time. Also, it’s worth mentioning that there degrees, and everything on that list has been ramped up by at least 10x. Or are you not paying attention to the unelected billionaire that’s gutting our federal workforce?

              In addition to so much more, far worse, things. Do you really need me to enumerate them for you?

              How about putting an alcoholic Fox News host in charge of the DoD. And having a podcast host with no military or intelligence experience as the Deputy Director of the FBI? Or a billionare wrestling corporation owner’s wife with no educational experience tasked with literally dismantling and eliminating the Dept. of Education entirely? Or how about putting RFK Jr., an antivax moron who looks like the most unhealthy human on the planet, in charge of Health and Human Services (who btw is already fanning the flames of a measles outbreak by literally disseminating dangerous disinformation to parents that Vitamin A is a good replacement for the measles vaccine).

              Should I go on?’

              Last time he at least had some people in his cabinet that were interested in maintaining the status quo for the most part. That is completely gone now. There is no voice of reason.

                Even if I was just talking about golf my initial statement was accurate based on this article and other articles that have been published. Not sure who shit in your Cheerios but it seems you came into the comments looking to start shit.

                I’m done. You have a blessed day.

                  Take a step back and see that the other person was totally civil in trying to make their point. You guys more than likely agree, you just took their clarification of your statement as hostility when you shouldn’t have.

                  You said it was exactly the same. That’s just wrong. It’s so much worse, and we need to be talking about this.

                  That’s why I’m speaking to you the way that I am. I don’t know if you live in the US, but this is extremely important for me, as I do. And when someone comes in and says, “this is the exact same thing he did last time, why is the media reporting on it,” then I feel compelled to shut that down.

                  It’s not the same, and the media needs to be reporting on it.

      It’s so awesome to have a president who doesn’t just stop at being corrupt, but actually adds extra layers of corruption on top of the original ones.

      He’s like the Monty Python spam skit - “Corruption, corruption, corruption, corruption, corruption, corruption, fascism, and corruption.”

      It is an exact repeat of Trump’s first term as far as golf goes.

      Trump also complained about how many executive orders prior presidents wrote…

    Gross for anyone to abuse tax money like this, but the guy is literally a criminal responsible for the deaths of innocent people he was tasked to govern as well as a traitor to the United States in the truest sense of the definition. The juxtaposition of this golf shit for someone that should be hanging at the end of a rope is infuriating.

      For a lot of things, they’ve just stopped even bothering with the pretext. They don’t even try to justify or rationalize anymore.

      I don’t know how you reason with that.

    I know the answer to this but you’d think after almost getting merked twice (and once at his own golf course), he’d play on the secure courses at the Joint Base Andrews for a bit.

    Obviously, that ruins the grift of charging the government for accommodations but he’s already or is planning to fire >100k people. Even if 0.01% of those people are unstable, that’s still a double digit number of lone wolves for the secret service to constantly worry about. (Not to mention all the intelligence agencies and terrorist groups currently pissed at him.)
