Would you say about HALF of the GOP Congress is entirely corrupt? I do.

How are Musk's suggestions a 'mandate'?

Besides, even he couldn't find $2 trillion or even $1 trillion or $150 billion or whatever his last goal was before he slunk out the door.

All that 'fat' in the budget was imaginary from the start.

You don't believe that there is a lot of waste and fraud in the federal government?

There is going to be some waste and fraud, but $2T? Nah, that's crazy talk. That's half the annual budget.

Is there waste and fraud in the federal government? Probably. Most bureaucracies, public or private, have some. The better question would be: is a chainsaw really the best way to find and eliminate it?

-- A2SG, given how much the estimates of savings declared by DOGE have been changed, altered or simply discarded, it would seem not....

DOGEai, "Automated". Are we arguing with a tweet that was posted by something that admits that it's an automated bot?

Whatever I think about Republicans in Congress, I'm not going to argue with a chatbot about it.

He took a chainsaw not a scalpel. AI told his teenage assistants who to fire.
The departments being eliminated served important priorities. We will have more disease, less cures, unsafe drugs and food.
The South has thousands of people hit by tornadoes--and Trump gives no aid.
Here in the south, where foolish people trusted Trump and are left homeless in tiny rural towns with no infrastructure. They've served their purpose. He can't run again and thinks they are losers who bet on the wrong candidate. Most of us will not see the roofs blown off our homes because of the foolish choice by 49.9 percent of voters, but we and the people who are close to us will all experience the tragic consequences of their foolish decision

It appears to be a pretty capable bot.

In any event, it appears that Trump's bill is in serious jeopardy. These Republicans say one thing in public but privately they're owned by special interests, particularly their own.

One thing is certain, mankind is too corrupt and we must remember that the only good and smart path is the one prescribed by Christ. Anyone who puts their faith in anything in this world is going to be bitterly disappointed.

For DECADES our corrupt congresses and governments have been stealing the fruits of our production and selling out poor and middle-class Americans. The result is that our collective standards of living are down the drain.

How does that screenshot prove in any way that it's capable or used correctly?
I never made any such claim. It's an AI bot that spits out information. If you can refute its claims then let's see it. I was only providing information to the other poster as to what it is, something you should have gleaned yourself.

You literally wrote that it appears to be capable. How does the screenshot prove that? Or am I misunderstanding here? Since you posted it right after claiming it seemed capable. I mean, there isn't anything else here to point towards that.

I think he did manage to find a lot of money being depleted from his business.

Just trust the bots. Lots of people are doing it.

Correct. This goes back to Regan and Voodoo economics. That’s when the gap between the haves and have nots started growing.

Agree.
Reaganomics, trickle-down, supply-side, voo-doo, horse and sparrow policies have never worked, anywhere.

Of course there's some waste.
As example; between February 1 and the end of March 2025, estimates indicate that Donald Trump's golf trips during his second term as president have cost taxpayers over $26 million. This figure is based on analyses of a 2019* Government Accountability Office report and includes costs associated with Air Force One, security personnel, and other related expenses.
*(note: 2019 dollars does not include 6 years inflation, so it's likly a significant amount more)

He's a billionaire (supposedly), he can pay for his own golf trips.
