      With a the yelling and her accent, I’m not sure that I comprehended any of her answers. It’s quite clear that most in the room didn’t like them.

      Are they going to say that somehow the liberals crowded the place so there was no one there to back her up?

        To which I’d say, in that case the conservatives fascists were too unmotivated to counter them.

      I sadly don’t have an hour to dedicate to listening to this woman gaslight her own constituents… Sooooo…

      Got a time stamp for where she mentions the Signal blunder?

    To any narcissistic politicians reading this: Your town hall will be different. You’re smarter and a better speaker than the others. It’ll be fine!

    The avalanche of incidents seemingly started after President Donald Trump’s inauguration in January.

    Are you fucking serious, Newsweek? “Seemingly”??! You’re not even going to stretch your neck out to identify the most obvious fucking element in the entire story.

    Christ these corporate news sewers are pathetic.

      And yet

      The little tilt-o-meter for Right-Left bias at the bottom of each article, which I assume is an accurate representation of how people have vote-clicked, is always pegged at commie-leftist

      Every single article they publish.

    This woman also said, “You violated the law, you are not entitled to due process," because she apparently doesn’t know what due process is.

    Here in Finland, Kristillisdemokraatit also has dude who thinks that DOGE is good and we should get something alike to oversee our government efficiency.

      The idea itself is not the bad thing. It’s the people carrying it out and what they’re doing about it that’s bad. It just doesn’t affect the people who should be affected because they are the ones who are doing it.

      In Germany, for example, we should also be downsizing, but instead we are adding more and more pointless authorities etc. that are paid for doing nothing…

      So I definitely don’t want to defend America’s approach. Because it hits the wrong people. But the basic idea itself is not the real problem. It’s just a shame that Europe is also turning to the right and would directly abuse such a system to strengthen its own power.

        It sounds really bad to me. The implication behind efficiency is that if it’s inefficient then it can be stopped. It’s a question of control / funding. (Auditing for efficiency is already a thing in societies, DOGE is not that.)

        It’s like a government within a government. A super institution that sits above the others and decides budgets and policy.

        This super institution would need expertise in all things related to self governance. When this super institution audits education how will it know what is efficient unless it has that domain specific knowledge? And then economics, and then engineering, and then social planning, and so on.

        I think governmental efficiency stems from a society that values efficiency. Creating a super institution to rule them all is something else.
