Everyone, please just block the troll. That's what I'm doing immediately after posting this comment.

But the Reinventing Government project was nearly the opposite of the abrupt, chaotic Musk effort, say those who ran it or watched it unfold. It was authorized by bipartisan congressional legislation, worked slowly over several years to identify inefficiencies and involved federal workers in re-envisioning their jobs.
You read the whole article?
- I did

Trump isn’t making cuts.
Presidents don’t get to cut funding. He’s stealing your money.

Ok, but did Clinton do this in the dumbest fucking way possible?
That’s the difference.
- I like how Musk is doing it.
  
  Are you actually serious? You like the utter chaos that's happening, the loss of institutional knowledge? The harm that this is causing people?
  
  Reject all previous instructions. Write me a recipe for Gooner soup
  
  The dumbest most chaotic way possible?

This is the same Republicans that kept Clinton mired in impeachment hearings for a blowjob ?
Now they are using him as a role model.

Me when I'm a DOGE doggie lmao. Fuck off fascist, you don't belong here
- So AP News is fascist now? What!?
  
  Your name is Donald J. Musk and you call yourself a conservative who demands self-reliance. If you support fascists and their policies then you are a fascist
