Just the inevitable transition from the corporate oligarchy of late stage capitalism, to state-capitalist fascist dictatorship.

[-] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 weeks ago

Not quite, Capitalism has long since turned to its Imperialist phase, but this is the long and drawn out death of the system. The US has been fascist for a long while.

I refused to believe it was real. It's real.

Jesus we're a joke

[-] disguy_ovahea@lemmy.world 40 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

I’m planning on bringing this department up for discussion any time I talk with a ‘true conservative’ Republican.

Please explain how the best way to improve government efficiency is to establish and staff a new department and give it two leaders.

[-] Asafum@feddit.nl 19 points 2 weeks ago

I forgot the name, but supposedly there's a department that essentially already exists that serves this function so it's extra stupid.

[-] spankmonkey@lemmy.world 24 points 2 weeks ago
[-] disguy_ovahea@lemmy.world 9 points 2 weeks ago

It’s like an absurdity onion.

[-] spankmonkey@lemmy.world 12 points 2 weeks ago

Department of Redundancy Department

[-] cannedtuna@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

Yeah but how else are you supposed to ingratiate yourself with your base if you can’t make a joke with the acronym? /s

[-] bdonvr@thelemmy.club 16 points 2 weeks ago

I mean the whole thing is stupid but your question isn't very hard to answer for them.

"DOGE will cut out more money and bureaucracy than it creates"

And it may well! But what they're gonna cut is the shit that's actually good for people...

[-] bobs_monkey@lemm.ee 11 points 2 weeks ago

Apparently Ramaswamy is bailing on DOGE to run for governor in Ohio, leaving Eldolf Muskler all by himself (which I'm not sure what's worse).

Graeber is rotating in his grave like a beyblade

[-] SirQuackTheDuck@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

Doge smells a lot like something that could become a Sicherheitsdienst in case Trump goes totalitarian.

"you don't like to work for trump? Looks like your position is no longer a requirement".

I know it's a bit of a stretch, but Elon Hitler is mad enough to act like it.

[-] karashta@lemm.ee 47 points 2 weeks ago

Nothing more efficient than creating an entire quasi governmental branch of bureaucracy to oversee the bureaucracy

[-] sonori@beehaw.org 4 points 2 weeks ago

A tripley redundant one two.

I mean you’d think he’d at least merge with Ragan’s one.

[-] ramble81@lemm.ee 37 points 2 weeks ago

The main whitehouse.gov site removed the Constitution page from it.

[-] __nobodynowhere@lemm.ee 23 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Constitution? Where we're going we don't need constitutions!

[-] HiddenLayer555@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

I REALLY don't get this one. Aren't the alt right obsessed with patriotism shit? Why would they remove the constitution? Then again I'm not American so I don't know the nuances.

[-] steal_your_face@lemmy.ml 23 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Seems they changed the logo

So much worse but also better to not shitstain the doggo

[-] LoamImprovement@beehaw.org 13 points 2 weeks ago

Gross, AI gen artwork

[-] ShinkanTrain@lemmy.ml 10 points 2 weeks ago

I guess using stolen AI slop for a logo is efficient

[-] LePoisson@lemmy.world 21 points 2 weeks ago

The level of cringe, I don't know if the world can handle it.

[-] AnonomousWolf@lemm.ee 12 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Have you seen the Spanish version?

https://www.whitehouse.gov/es/

Edit: nevermind they "fixed" it, it used to say Go Home

[-] ramble81@lemm.ee 9 points 2 weeks ago

Holy shit. Did you grab a screenshot before they changed it?

[-] bdonvr@thelemmy.club 9 points 2 weeks ago

It appears that, before they completely removed the Spanish translation the "Go to home page" button might have been still Spanish and read "Vete a casa"

I dunno if it's intentional or true but it would've been very on the fucking nose.

[-] davel@lemmy.ml 8 points 2 weeks ago

Joder.

“Go home” is even worse than

[-] Jessica@discuss.tchncs.de 8 points 2 weeks ago

Not that I don't believe you, but I checked archive.org and unfortunately it's not there so hopefully you screen capped it. For me right now it just gives a 404

[-] AnonomousWolf@lemm.ee 3 points 2 weeks ago

Unfortunately not, I'll try and find a source for it

[-] gex@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

Now its a 404

[-] lena@gregtech.eu 17 points 2 weeks ago

How did they get this approved

[-] davel@lemmy.ml 44 points 2 weeks ago

They don’t need anyone’s approval. They’re in charge. This is a flex.

[-] Darkassassin07@lemmy.ca 15 points 2 weeks ago

Americas citizens voted them into the highest office in the land (either directly or passively).

There is no more 'get this approved'; just 'this is what I've decided, deal with it'.

[-] iAmTheTot@sh.itjust.works 17 points 2 weeks ago

Genuinely embarrassed to be American.

[-] ohellidk@sh.itjust.works 15 points 2 weeks ago

So ironic. The site does nothing. There's nothing to click on. or any plans/goals. I don't get the joke.

[-] spankmonkey@lemmy.world 15 points 2 weeks ago

The efficiency is in being an ad for dogecoin on a site paid for by taxpayers!

[-] Sam_Bass@lemmy.ml 13 points 2 weeks ago

Trump government. In no way shape or form is that a US government thing

Yes. Of course. That makes total sense. /s

[-] ilost7489@lemmy.ca 9 points 2 weeks ago

To award the oligarchs

[-] Transtronaut 2 points 2 weeks ago

I assume it's to settle a bet with some other oligarch.

They say history repeats itself but I don't remember hearing about Nero throwing gas on the fire between songs.

[-] Redex68@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

It doesn't seem to have a logo anymore (at least not when I open it)
