Bad news, Will. The “real” DOGE turned out to be fake, too. And a spoiled millionaire having a temper tantrum over his beach house is not going to change that, no matter how much you fawn over him.

The relationship between Will and Rum seems to have entered into “don’t ask, don’t tell” territory. Not that there’s anything wrong with that.

US DOGE has been a spectacular failure. “Leon” Musk has bailed on it following Vivache and spending is actually up since 1/20. In a normal world nobody would want to be identified with such a scam, but this is SC politics so that tracks completely.

Thoughts and prayers.

Meanwhile the liberal trial lawyer who constantly posts on these articles and who is totally against citizens having any say, but loves a felon when he meets them, lunches regularly with some of the same so called conservative leaders from his hometown.

I am curious why you think I am against “citizens having any say” – what possible comment could you have gotten that from?

Not sure what your point about felons is. I am a criminal defense lawyer, so my job is to defend people accused of crimes. Just out of curiosity, what do you think we should so with people accused of felonies? And better yet, what should happen once they are convicted of felonies?

Your last point is beyond weird. The last few people I had lunch with were not people I would think would draw any attention, but maybe you feel different? I would think you have me confused with someone else, but unlike you I comment under my own name. You should try it, unless you are scared to have your name attached to your opinions (which I am guessing is the case).

We all know a corrupt SC statehouse, run by fake conservatives, their controlling lobbys and special interests, are the last ones we should trust to run any form of govt accountability and waste reduction. Talk about foxes in the hen house.

I agree that SC Doge is a farce, whether the ‘real’ or ‘fake’ one. This state’s government has been Republican run and led ever since Beasley left office. Now a fun PAC is vaguely accusing politicians of gross misuse of budget funds, which i believe, but they present it in such a way that voters will blame liberal boogeymen for actions that their own, Republican, elected officials took. It’s hard to blame ‘liberals’ when the state is too gerrymandered to vote any in, lol.

Everything government acquires it does so by theft. There is no such thing as efficient government, never has been nor will there ever be such an animal.
Human farming is inefficient and clumsy. It requires the use of force and the rewarding of obedient boot lickers which leads to even more inefficiency.
You can DOGE all you want but you ain’t going to change the stripes on this zebra.
