Non-zero chance he grants you one just so he can make a show of taking it away.

I don’t have one but that hasn’t stopped him in the past.
That's what they SAY they're doing.Thats exactly what it is doing.
Pissing people off, killing people, destroying the livelihood of others
According to a the latest poll, more people like DOGE than dislike it.Many people are unhappy with DOGEs efforts to trim government waste and fraud, and many people don't like the DOGE Director, Elon Musk.
What are some ways to shut it down?
Congress
Supreme Court Judge
Impeachment
Arson
or maybe some other ways?
And that’s good enough for Fletch!That's what they SAY they're doing.
It isn't what they're doing.
OR at least, if they are, they're doing it so ham-handedly that they're causing more inefficiency than they remove.
Midterms are in 2026. If townhall meetings keep going for MAGA-mites as they have been, and/or if those Congressional MAGA-mites choose to stop having them...they will start to face challengers from their own party before 2025 is done. Please note: I am NOT saying there will be a blue wave, but rather a wave of conservatives who see DOGE as a terrible idea and will pick up voters who got hurt by DOGE. You will also start to see some MAGA-mites try to isolate Musk from Trump in their rhetoric, so that they can bash Musk and still support Trump.There will be another election in 2028. Until then, you are out of luck
What people have Trump and Musk killed? Please be specific.

Your rather biased painting of what is going on aside, Trump was pretty clear about it when campaigning.I'm pretty sure the people who voted for Trump did not expect an unvetted billionaire and his tech minions to be allowed to run roughshod through the federal government.
Tracking Anticipated Deaths from USAID Funding Cuts
Brooke Nichols has launched online tracking tools that capture estimated increases in mortality and disease spread for HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, malaria, and other diseases as a result of the near-total freeze in US foreign aid funding and programming.www.bu.edu
If the Democrats win the midterms, there won't be any Democratic legislation, just an endless parade of impeachments and investigation hearings.When the Republicans get hammered in the mid terms and lose control we'll see what happens.
I predict not much as Trump will just refuse to sign any Dem legislation however sensible without even reading it.
By what authority? Doge operates as an advisory board to the POTUS and was created by EO. Congress does not have the authority to dictate to the president who his advisors are.But what if democrats become the Majority Party in next year's midterms? (and it looks like they might)
Couldn't the Senate introduce a resolution to shut down DOGE with a majority Floor vote?

Trump was already in office for four years. What is this new beginning of which you speak?Your rather biased painting of what is going on aside, Trump was pretty clear about it when campaigning.
LOL.I have great respect for Boston University but I'd be sceptical of the use of predictive models and calculations. BTW, for those who think the church only does evil, the Methodist Church has founded many great universities including Boston University, Duke, Emory, and Syracuse.
LOL.
You demand a list.
List is supplied.
Your response: ‘bullshit’
I doubt he actually knows much about those things. He apparently knows how to multiply money. With money you can hire people who DO know about those things.....some near-autistic white guy who knows about rockets in space, satellite terminals creating internet access....
Thank you for your unbiased response.
I do, thank you.I'm sure you have a lot of friends.
We do not want it shut down. It I wonderful if it can save hundreds of billions of dollars.Many people are unhappy with DOGEs efforts to trim government waste and fraud, and many people don't like the DOGE Director, Elon Musk.

I like this idea. All employed Americans should increase their W-4 number of dependents to the maximum allowable number. This will dramatically decrease revenue into the federal treasury. Worry about paying your taxes next year. The IRS will be so gutted, I doubt they will be able to do much about it.None of your poll options work.
The first and third are out of the picture due to Congress being loyal to Donald in its current session.
The 2nd has been proven irrelevant since SCOTUS has no enforcement authority and can at best express opinions.
The 4th doesn’t actually stop DOGE.
The only option is to let DOGE ruin enough American lives in order to enrich Elon that we have different leadership in Congress in 2026 and some of your poll options become relevant again.
Between now and then, Americans should work with their state legislatures on mechanisms to reduce federal tax revenue, send that revenue to states then let states cover shortfalls in government services.
Supporting an end does mot imply supporting the means.According to not a Trump supporting source the USA today says this.
Poll findings are clear: Americans are solidly behind Trump and DOGE | Opinion
The people overwhelmingly support the president's most important policies, including spending cuts, writes DC Larson.www.usatoday.com
You know what using that attempt at a personal swipe says about you, don't you?Thank you for your unbiased response. I'm sure you have a lot of friends.
That’s fair, but I think there is strong reason to believe people have died as a result of these policy changes.I have great respect for Boston University but I'd be sceptical of the use of predictive models and calculations.
