    DOGE

    I felt it needs a thread as news comes out daily.

    What happens in the USA, not always but often follows in the UK

    Maybe Rachel from accounts needs to get this up and running ASAP, that 22 billion hole left by the Tories needs finding.

    To get the ball rolling

    The US has donated $12.5 billion in direct military aid to Israel since Oct 2023. Perhaps he could start by making some quick wins there?

    Most definitely, whatever president you get, you get a marriage with Israel, It is my opinion only, that the current president will be far more aligned to Israel than the outgoing one, resulting in far money money making its way over there as you have already stated. Obviously the impact is yet to be seen, the start however isn't encouraging at all, it's quite depressing. You'll not be finding me supportive of OMB on this. And there isn't any buts!!!

    Oh, hang on. Didn’t we more or less say the same thing when you laughed at me for posting a CNN link about Bernie Sandrrs?

    I have to say that I am a fan of Joe Rogan.
    To some, I know that he is a red rag to a bull.

    I’m 20 minutes into this particular interview with Mike Benz, who has done a deep dive into American Propaganda for the last 60 years or so and is pertinent to the Elon Musk “DOGE Movement”.


    I don’t know how it will turn out.
    So far it paints America’s recent history and ambitions in a bad light.

    It’s a long, long interview. Over 3 hours by the looks of it.

    Let me know if anyone else is going to watch it.

    It could be bollocks or it could blow things up massively.

    He's done it to me as well, but don't be too harsh on him - he's "on the fence" when it comes to Trump after all

    From what I can gather, it's a different, more acceptable, type of corruption if it's the likes of Trump, Musk etc involved, as opposed to Biden, Obama, Soros etc.

    That's because some politicians are more equal than others. Always has, always will.

    Musk's companies take an apparent $8m a day out of the government. You can be sure DOGE aren't interested in that. But they are going for the departments that are investigating his companies.

    Money and power have always gone together, but there has surely never been a conflict of interest on this scale.

    I can't do Joe Rogan. Even if I really like the guest, 3 hours is just far too long. I'd rather spend the time listening to 3 other well edited hour long podcasts than sit through all the filler.

    It used to be good, random mix of high profile guests and relative nobodies who were interesting. Joe was inquisitive but listened and asked questions that we were thinking. Now it just seems like the default guest is a slightly hacky comedian looking for exposure, proven lunatics or the same 5 'experts' he cycles through. But the main problem now isn't the guests, it's Joe, even when he has someone decent on, he twists the convo into boring anti-woke stuff and most guests don't feel comfortable telling him they don't want to spend an hour talking about it. It feels like one big echo chamber and Joe seems to have more of an ego than before.

    The CNN video in question was an Anderson Cooper narrative engineering hit-piece with Bernie Sanders, not an on-the-record press conference in the White House. I'm very happy to clear that up for you, cheers

    So Bernie Sanders didn’t mean to say what he did and was only suckered into it by some unscrupulous media hack? What did he really mean to say then?

    Bernie has got a lovely big house for a socialist, but he's obviously troubled by something.

    All Socialists should have big lovely houses, just like everyone else. No discrimination!
