Repeat after me: DOGE is not an official government agency. The senate has not voted on approving its creation.
Until such time, DOGE is nothing more than a domestic hacking group fraudulently impersonating federal authorities.

I completely agree with you. But what are you going to do about it? Judge them? Who's going to be the judge?

I'm starting to think that if america wants to get rid of these nazis, they are going to need to do the only thing you can do to get rid of nazis. And it's not democratic nor polite.

[–] earphone843@sh.itjust.works 11 points 3 months ago

You can't vote out fascism.

[–] Corkyskog@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 months ago

Idk, maybe one of the people employed as a judge?

[–] schema@lemmy.world 16 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

Didn't they just rename an existing agency? Nonetheless they need to be stopped.

[–] catloaf@lemm.ee 6 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Nope. It's completely outside the normal government system.

[–] forrgott@lemm.ee 29 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Actually, they renamed a committee responsible for streamlining IT services for the executive branch. As such, they do not have any of the authority they claim.

[–] catloaf@lemm.ee 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Really, which one? This would be the first I've heard of it.

[–] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 13 points 3 months ago

You're right, but none of the government is treating them as such.

[–] AbsolutelyNotAVelociraptor@sh.itjust.works 64 points 3 months ago (2 children)

One month, it's not even been one month yet. Sigh...

These are the people connecting unknown servers to national databases and directly modifying production systems that control.. everything (funding).

[–] Ledivin@lemmy.world 10 points 3 months ago (3 children)

This could also very easily be a honey pot 🙄 I hope y'all aren't dumb enough to be hacking gov-adjacent databases without proper opsec

[–] Swemg@lemm.ee 20 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Is it hacking tho? I mean it's open

[–] Pollo_Jack@lemmy.world 6 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Ha ha, oh wow. Honey pot? They are threatening tariffs with our allies. All our information is going bye bye.

[–] Ledivin@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Yeeaaah... your information isn't going to be what they lock up for what is literally nothing more than a silly joke.

Don't play stupid games with an authoritarian regime.

[–] Die4Ever@programming.dev 2 points 3 months ago

You hacked a government system from your home connection?

It's universally stupid, man! https://youtu.be/ADfL9g3X-DA

[–] skvlp@lemm.ee 5 points 3 months ago

1 down, 47 to go 🙃

[–] kikutwo@lemmy.world 20 points 3 months ago (2 children)

When am I getting the notification from the United States Government that all my data has been hacked and I get free credit monitoring?

[–] UpperBroccoli@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 3 months ago (4 children)

So, please remind me again. You have this ammendmend to your constitution that allows you to "bear firearms" of any kind, even guns usually only used in wars, for the sole and explicit purpose of being able to defend against tyranny.

So that's going down now, King Shitty Pants the first is about to take over completly as dictator supreme. What is your next move now, American people?

[–] credo@lemmy.world 7 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

No, you see it’s only tyranny if they try to take your guns, or tread on your land, unless you invite them onto your land to look for brown people. The loss of fundamental services and privacy is perfectly okay because it’s all in the name of saving $0.10, which you can put towards that bump stock upgrade.

[–] ShaggySnacks@lemmy.myserv.one 5 points 3 months ago

The 2A ammosexuals aren’t going to do anything about it cause it’s their own team doing the tyranny.

[–] Bosht@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

Bud the people you're barking at aren't here, and even if they were they're probably on the King's side. This is what they voted for and believe everything he does is a midas touch. They're fucking idiots.

[–] zarathustrad@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

You see the party that opposes MAGA does not support the 2A. So their scattered supporters that are armed are insufficiently organized.

It's ok. They still have enough lone Luigi's if they are willing to make the sacrifice to chop a few heads off the hydra. Just need the kids to take up hobbies like 3D printing and drones, if they won't get to the gun range enough.

[–] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 5 points 3 months ago

They finally fixed the front page. But the "experts" page is still there lol

[–] Tikiporch@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

How dare antifa hack their website. /s

[–] Emerald@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

Well of course, Musk loves open source!
