I’m sure they’ll get picked up by The Heritage Foundation or some other Right Wing org and protected. Can’t have the spineless lackeys spilling the beans.
“I knew this was wrong and only did it because I thought I had fascist immunity”
a senior DOGE figure named Donald Park tried to reassure his colleagues that they were still ‘brothers in arms’ and that Musk would continue to protect them.That led to another protesting and advising, “Guys, seriously get your own lawyer if you need it. Elon’s great, but you need to watch your own back.”
“Guys have you tried being a rich billionaire who can buy your own way out of trouble? Now get back to work.”
And who’s going to prosecute them? The Democrats? Don’t make me laugh. As was the case in the last Democrat term, they’ll just nurse their thumbs with their assholes for years, then maybe half-ass an attempt at getting some low-hanging fruit when the public voices become too loud to ignore, and achieve a whole lot of nothing.
I truly hope I’m wrong about this.
No hope for this and after Obama refused to do anything about Bush era torturers I side-eye anyone who does.
I’m pretty sure the leopards won’t eat the faces of the DOGE employees. Musk said so on his personal website!
/s
Why would you be worried about that? Did you do incredibly damaging illegal things?
How sad for them. I’m sure the kids who are now not getting their aids treatment because DOGE employees cancelled USAID didn’t feel abandoned.
Doge Cuts to USAid Blamed for 300,000 Deaths — Most of Them Children
it’s worse than that
Last I saw the number was 600k.
I do feel like these idiots should be thrown under the bus, and punished to the full extent of the law. I really do hope they’re held accountable for their wanton destruction.
That said, I can imagine some college graduates going along with something like this simply because they don’t have the life experience to really understand the legal, political, and social ramifications of what they’re doing.
I’d be willing to be lenient-ish with them if they can provide evidence and testimony that results in the successful prosecution of those above them. I’d be willing to continue to be lenient-ish as long as we keep getting info on a bigger criminal.
Exactly they can probably provide you with legitimate electronic transcripts of the people at the top that orchestrated everything.
Is there like, an actual list of shit these DOGE dumbasses did?
Not that I’m questioning that they did shit, but so far, being outside of the US, all I got was general accusations without any proof. I’d love to see the list of actual damage done, with receipts and all, just so it’s quantifiable.
There’s probably some commentary, but there’s no list of criminal charges.
How about the department heads that let it happen? Doge went into systems unchallenged.
Lol I remember the countless posts on how these guys would end up being the fall guys for all of it. Least surprising twist of the year.
In fascism literally everyone is a future fall guy.
It would be nice if they were prosecuted, as one of their DOGE members leaked the Social Security numbers in plaintext for every malicious actor to take advantage of. All because they were a stupid, brash fool that thought they could do something and not get caught. 🙄🤬
Rip em up
It’s fine, Musk can find a new batch of kinda smart but not really college dropouts with delusions of impressing a narcissistic rich guy and a history of starting arguments with “well, actually, white men are the most oppressed social group”. They seem to be cloning them at industrial scale these days.
I’ve never feared criminal prosecution after doing work, maybe because I’ve never done anything illegal? Why is it that some people (often wealthy) think that laws won’t apply to them? Especially people around Trump when he has had demonstrated history of throwing so many people under the wheels in the past?
I know a few trans librarian acquaintances who got the fuck out of Florida because the legal environment was getting too spicy. So yes, generally agree that if you fear criminal prosecution for doing your job something is wrong. In the trans librarian case, it’s Florida. In Doge’s case it was their behavior.
Not sure where I’m going with this, thinking on which set of folk feared repercussions enough to change something (environment or behavior)
