Getting DOGE'd

Well it’s a good thing they took the name off the USAID office because TOM is putting immigration enforcement agents there.  Very much NOT USAID.

And on the “you only got hired because you’re……”(fill in the blank with any adjective that is not white or male) front, TOM wasted no time dismantling the military. TOM via Hegseth has canned the head of the Joint Chiefs, Gen CQ Brown, and the “Chief of Naval Operations Adm. Lisa Franchetti and Vice Chief of Staff of the Air Force Gen. Jim Slife.” In Brown’s place will swoop in Air Force Lt Gen. Dan “Razin” Caine. Really, they actually officially call him “Razin.” Like a flipping fraternity. Let the hazing begin, boys. Despite the fact that Razin Caine “has not had key assignments identified in law as prerequisites for the job, including serving as either the vice chairman, a combatant commander or a service chief.” He is legally unqualified to do the job. But TOM can waive that silly requirement if he deems it in the interest of national security. Of course TOM will feel ever so much safer with a raunchy white man leading the helm. Even if that man doesn’t know a bazooka from his bellybutton. TOM had already fired Coast Guard Commandant Gen Linda Fagan, the day after taking office. “As leader, Fagan committed to fixing decadeslong culture of sexual assault within the USCG instead of sweeping it under the rug – and was punished for it by the new Administration.” Of course she was. Let’s bring back a bigger rug and a bigger broom because any thought of feeling protected at a service academy or in the service is now gone. Band together and take matters into your own hands, ladies because the gov will not have your back. How despicable to put your life on the line for your country and to be summarily dismissed as weak and/or brushed aside with “boys will be boys.”

And I’ve heard a new term I will now add to my vernacular. Getting DOGE’d. But of course. It had to become a verb. With the flurry of firings, there needed to be the appropriate word for the insanity that is running rampant. “Did you hear Sally F got DOGE’d? She never saw it coming.” Kinda reminds me of a bulldozer. Comes straight for you, mows you down, keeps on going.

And if we were in France, fed employees could sue the gov for this one: “Federal employees throughout the executive branch began receiving emails on Saturday asking them to explain what they accomplished in the last week, which followed a threat from Elon Musk that workers who do not respond would be considered to have resigned.” In France, it is against the law to force people to work outside of regular business hours and days. Of course that’s just a minor issue at hand. The real eyepopper is, excuse me, justify my existence? I feel like the gallows must be being erected in the soon-to-be paved over Rose Garden (now we know why TOM wanted it paved over – too much blood in the soil, easier to wash off from a stone patio). Musky will line people up outside the Oval and with a little clipboard and pen, check off one by one those who aren’t “justified.” “They’re just using precious air that the real hard workers need. Waste of molecules. Lop off their heads.”

This is in the actual email: “Please reply to this email with approx. 5 bullets of what you accomplished last week and cc your manager,” the email said. “Please do not send any classified information, links or attachments.” What do you even do with that? What if you work only on classified material? Do you write back “I could answer this email but then I’d have to kill you.” Oh please, yes please. Musky’s list has one bullet point.

Things I did this past week:

(That’s not classified, right?)
