"But waste, fraud and abuse exists, and is bad, and DOGE was there to remove it, so DOGE was good. The fact that institutions exist to do this already is irrelevant. That the world's richest man and an unvetted team of 20-somethings with no security clearances got super admin level access to government databases is irrelevant. That the effort ended with a tiny fraction of the initially claimed savings, AIDS medication cut off, and the leader of the effort publically accusing the President of, at best, close association with a child sex trafficker, is irrelevant. You have TDS." - MAGA
