Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene tapped to work with Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy as new DOGE subcommittee chair
Greene's group will share the DOGE acronym with the entity commissioned by President-elect Donald Trump and led by billionaires Musk and Ramaswamy.
So in an effort to "cut government spending", "reduce waste", and "make the government more efficient, the first thing they did was to create three new positions out of thin air with absolutely no clear goals, and grossly overpay 3 people and counting to fill those positions.......
Nevermind the GAO is already a thing. But three trolls think they know how government should work...
It would be another hilarious bit of the White House Reality Show Sequel, if the Department of Government Efficiency board just kept growing and growing with people that wanted a cool title from Trump to feel important.
you'd think the most efficient thing for the government to do is not pay her for useless roles on the expense of tax payers
I'm getting the feeling that DOGE is just becoming a dumping ground for anyone Trump promised favors for.
Fake departments don't need confirmations. Maybe he'll stick Gaetz in there too.
The Department of Government Efficiency needs more people then the United Nations.
In this case I think it was also to get her to shut up about Matt Gaetz.
If only they could just get her to shut up, full stop.
100%
That's the only reason Republicans shit talk other Republicans.
They're mad one got a special spot and they didn't.
It's going to be our saving grace, people act like they don't remember how many votes it took to get a House leader.
They'll stop each other from doing horrible shit, because they all want the credit and acclaim from doing horrible shit.
Like, not trying to jinx us, but I could see half the Rs wanting to deport anyone Hispanic, and the rest only wanting to deport immigrants. And they spend two years fighting over it till midterms and lose the House and/or Senate.
It's just crazy she's happy being a "chair person" in a subcommittee with 3 people total, all of which have the exact same title.
trump throws too many more chairs in there, and the ones that already have it get pissed because they're not special anymore, and the cycle starts over.
If Mitch McTurtle doesn't put the work in wrangling cats in both the House and Senate, it's going to significantly limit Trump's damage. And McTurtle only really cares about judicial picks. He ain't going to put the work in to unite House Republicans, and there's no House Republican who can do it.
Department of Transportation.
Is this a position she needs to resign from the House to do, because that would be awful! /s
This is how he gets rid of musk
I can very easily see it as a staging ground for more back door fundraising/corruption, a lauch pad for future Congressmen/Governors/etc, and a way of trial ballooning propaganda before bringing it live
