There’s no maybe. Both parties have done it for decades. The Supreme Court supports corruption because they are on the take themselves. When all the foxes own the hen house our options are limited for recourse. Doge is just it e newest flavor of government corruption.
Who are we talking about?
I know this was written as irony but it's true. We have since nothing like this since the Beatles landed in NYC.
DOGE is now auditing the IRS - turnabout is fairplay, is it not?

All govt personnel who have unusually high wealth that isn't consistent with their salary.
So you don't want to see these finances probed? How can you complain about corruption while arguing against investigating it?
Do you really think a guy who spent a quarter of a billion dollars helping Trump get elected isn't calling his own shots?
The IRS audits everyone -- now it's the turn of IRS to be audited.
That's like saying "Why look for tax evaders? How do you know if they exist? Why look for drug traffickers? How do you know they even exist?"
Then why aren't they conducting an actual audit with trained auditors? Why is a government contractor that receives billions in government contracts determining what contracts he wants to honor? Again more coup than audit in process. I've seen audits. This ain't it.
According to our constitution that job belongs to Congress. I'm fine with Congress doing it's job. Why do you want to throw out our constitution and current laws in favor of giving full control to a foreign billionaire instead of our Congress? We used to be a nation of laws. We used to care about national security.
Where is Congress in all of this?? Only Congress is supposed to have the power of the purse.
That sad sack can't even release his own taxes without it being obvious to all that see them that he's a tax cheat. So he can't.
"power of the purse" = power to fund
Basically there is a problem that is being made up... that there are government employees who somehow have too much money and we have to launch invasive investigations to root out these people. But no one can say if these people actually exist. It is a figment.
