A Lot Of Americans Don't Like What DOGE Is Doing. How Can Americans Shut Down DOGE?

What are some possible ways to shut down DOGE?

I voted for the impeachment option.
Any SCOTUS decisions or actions by congress will be ignored by Donald.
Impeachment won’t happen with sycophants running the house and senate.

In 2027, when the Democrats retake the house and the senate, he's done, and he knows it. I am looking forward to the day the escort him out of the White House is shackles.

It’s that kind of blind lust for vengeance that brought him back into the White House.
 
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.
Every successful entrepreneur, especially the richest guy in the world, absolutely has to have people who run the individual enterprises on a daily basis.
How much does he have to know to be able to hire the right people to run and manage those companies?

Again, you are assuming that if the Dems take back the House and Senate, which they won't, the president will somehow be impeached, convicted, and escorted out of the White House. Do you really believe there could be 67 Senators who will vote to convict Trump in an impeachment trial?
Do you ever really care about your credibility when you make fantastic comments about what will happen to Trump?
 
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?
Convince the masses of folks that Trump is wrong. Current numbers don't favor this approach.
 
It's really not bright to make statements about what a person thinks when you have no idea of a their background. First off I have never said anything about feeling sorry for any employee losing their job.....you simply made that up based on incorrect assumptions on your part. In fact I have participated several large downsizing, some successful, some not so much. None are fun. I have been there done that in real life and how this is being handled is unprofessional and non strategic....not a good mix for a successful outcome .
Tell me why would you care about the professionalism or the strategy of downsizing the federal government? Do you care about the people losing their jobs? Do you care your services from the federal government might be impaired? Are you connected to the District of Columbia in some political capacity?
I ask those questions because so many anti-DOGE posters who are expressing anger with Musk appear to have a personal stake in the downsizing of the government as if they're afraid the government is going to go into their place of work and summarily fire them.

The bottom line is - in 2026 will voters be convinced Trump and Musk have done such a bad job that what is needed is for the hapless Democrats, without a coherent plan, to win back the House and Senate? And then try for another impeachment trial in 2027?

How likely is that?
 
Yeah, it says we're tired of your Bu**sh**.
Such anger. Seriously though, I know you and I are just anonymous figures on here, but that kind of display of small-minded petulant snide remarks and such a show of anger is what I would expect only from people that are very lonely, very insecure, very unimportant. I wouldn't want to pass myself as someone like that.
 
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.
Town halls are being raided by left wing activists, not concerned citizens. Its all part of the left wing resistance.
Trump has always been about Trump. We have already seen his willingness to dump people if it serves his purposes. I think that is how DOGE will end. He will see angry conservatives hate on Musk while MAGA-mite politicians try to distance themselves from Musk as well as newer conservatives ready to kick out the incumbents....and he will pivot like he always does and Musk gets thrown out and/or DOGE's influence will be minimized to a great degree. Someone has to take the fall: it will be Musk.
Thats your hope, but there is zero evidence of that happening.
 
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.
There is no evidence that democrats will have a good midterms, thats just you engaging in fantasy. The dems have one issue--Trump. They offer nothing positive to speak of.

At this point, I believe there is a huge possibility of this happening. There are some republicans who are tired of Trump.

Yes, they Democrats WILL retake the house and the senate. Don't fall into republidenial.
Do you ever really care about your credibility when you make fantastic comments about what will happen to Trump?
My credibility is fine. Your poor attempts to attack me aren't going to work.

I guess your wild speculation is also part of the Dems' "resistance".
Musk can always give Trump another $300 million (for his library) to stay on board until 2029.

Musk will be broke soon.

Before the end of 2027, Musk will be denaturalized and deported. His assets will be frozen.

He will persona non grata all over the world.
 
Good response, give it a try.
Well, since giving you a direct enumeration of people that will die because of Trump and Musks actions because (something something Methodist), how about I treat you to a gift article about a tiny division of the federal government that works with seeds and crop diversity?


I realize it takes a bit of higher order thought, but it’s not unreasonable to picture a scenario where not having this genetic storehouse may lead to significant disaster, financial primarily, but certainly not unreasonable to think the effects may cause some degree of suffering and death, potentially in a large population if this program- which is basically a cheap insurance policy- goes away.

So there ya go. I have a sneaking suspicion the ‘good faith’ reply will be less than exemplary, but one can always hope.

No one is above the law. Except Trump of course. "A citizen above suspicion."

You don't have to worry, I don't think I'll be responding to your juvenile comments any longer. Pearls before swine comes to mind.
 
Shumer admitted that dems are sending people to these town halls to disrupt them. Plus democrats are having their town halls disrupted as well. But I dont expect you to know this.
LOL, we have all heard that canard, but I have watched videos of what Schumer said and it can be interpreted any way you want. Then the fools on FOX on on air and make it sound like EVERY protestor at EVERY town hall is a Demcorat agitator. The ignorance of people who fall for everything FOX tells them is astonishing. I am really sure that EVERY protestor at those town halls are Democrat agitators, yup, sure sure.
