Donald Trump Taking DOGE Lead After Elon Musk Exit

[Prairie Gates]

19. This is all so goofy

It's unbelievable that the news keeps presenting this nonsense as if it's perfectly fine. The President taking over administration of a completely made up government "department" from his billionaire buddy and backer is completely off the wall bonkers.

Of course it's often been said that one of the worst offenses of totalitarian governments is that they require/force/expect you to believe in their most nonsensical propositions. Orwell's variation was, of course "The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command." But pretty much everyone who has lived through such a government has their own variation on this theme. These moves now are the minor ones. The news media and we as its consumers are supposed to believe that "Donald Trump Taking DOGE Lead After Elon Musk Exit" is simply a headline like any other, a report on something empirical that happened, when it is in fact a statement of extreme insanity that requires us to live in the world space being created by these fascist animals.
