They're installing them into the agencies to act as comisars to enforce political purity and root out dissent.
It's a pretty obvious next step after them gaining control of the treasury payment systems and people's private data. Can't have internal pushback on weaponizing these to attack Americans more broadly.
Why the fuck do they get to increase their staff when they're telling the rest of the federal government (including understaffed agencies) to downsize? Hey, Donny, I found the waste, fraud, and abuse; it's coming from inside the house.
Grifters gotta grift.
This is the precursor to the US Gustapo or KGB. Mark my words!
They are embedding a fascist tech bro secret police into every government body to ensure compliance and alignment with state propaganda, weed out non-loyalists, control the purse, etc.
The CIA/FBI/NSA can't be trusted to perform this function for many years, because they are not staffed with loyalists of the fascist regime. Replacing their leadership is easy. Replacing their entire org structure — thousands of managers, and tens of thousands of staff — will take years, if not decades.
Very nitpicky, but its "gestapo" shortform for GEheime STAats POlizei so secret state police, know the name of your enemies
Ah, so they are the Stupid Gestapo
no you see the jobs won't be on usa.gov and will get filled by people who know people. so that um. makes it um.
The fucking derp state they've been complaining about all these years.
Narcissists literally can't comprehend their own hypocrisy, because they are the special exception to every rule.
Stupid Libtard! Being able to Hire MORE DOGE employees is Why we ELIMINATED Children's School Lunches and the Education Department!
always has been
Probably because they're not an actual government agency and are functionally just a government funded think-tank with their hands up the ass of the puppets with actual power? And as such are exempt from the rules they spew out?
It all becomes clear when you accept that these cunts work for foreign adversaries.
Double staff...?
How is that efficient?
Right. How many people does it take to blanket fire people? I could write a batch file to do it with more skill.
Just make sure that batch file runs from a public location by default, has admin privs, and is stored on a public file share 😎
Situation: there are 100 inefficient government agencies
Solution: let’s create a new government agency to manage efficiency
New situation: there now 101 inefficient government agencies
The thing is, they were not designed to be "efficient", to have some "reserve" for times when needed. What Elon Musk wants is less people working 12-16 hours a day, no weekends, that barely can hold things together, so he can be given either more subsidies or more tax cuts (likely both).
I still want to see them slash the Secret Service to maybe, one guy who doesn't work weekends. /s
I'd settle for just the one elite child agent with brain cancer, he can set his own hours.
Secret Service staff willing to take a bullet must be really expensive. I wonder if DOGE has explored cheaper options to save US taxpayer money.
Like, I don't know, children you can carry around? That could work.
A bit of a conspiracy but I kind of believe the reason that guy got so close to shooting Trump is because Trump's security detail probably secretly despise him.
Imagine having to deal with that asshole all the time, at some point you'd just be like, "I'm not risking my life and leaving my family without me for this piece of shit."
I mean I'm sure I'm just being a crazy person and it's a bit of a joke but ... Idk ... Maybe?
This is dumb, as soon as they realized the guy was there, they killed him. If the secret service wanted trump dead, it would be extremely easy for them.
I did say it was a conspiracy theory or whatever you want to call the fantastical delusions my brain dreams up.
Double staff? Doesn't sound very efficient. *Hands DOGE katana.
Doge is the fastest growing startup I've ever heard of, talk about efficiency
Anybody notice certain things he hasn't touched? You know, like farmer subsidies?
indirectly he has with the food aid that was bought directly from american farms.
Or oil. Or military.
That's right, double down! Keep increasing velocity toward the 'find out' stage.
They have no authority! It doesn't matter if they are anywhere
So DOGE is anti-DOGE. Who didn't see that coming?
The deep state is growing.
Efficiency!
Finally, the Department of Administrative Affairs.
