It’s a serious question because the president is elected so it’s not just “hey you need to step down”.

  • Definitely Musk shouldn’t be a part of things.
  • Definitely the courts should be listened to (but what that means as a demand I don’t really understand)
  • Definitely reign in the presidential orders, reduce their scope or number or SOMETHING

I mean, I’m not the guy to do this. But what exactly kind of things could be done to control this crazy ass situation?

EDIT: I’m taking about how we can restore and reform the United States, not visions for a new entity.

    I do think the government agencies need 3rd party auditing. Anyone who has worked for them or with them (private contractors) knows how much unchecked spending there is. “It’s not my money” attitude.

    HOWEVER, how DOGE is going about it should be absolutely illegal. There needs to be checks and balances on both sides.

    Doesn’t answer your questions but I also don’t think we just not look into the ridiculous amounts of money we spend on running the government either. Yeah, it takes a lot to run it but I know how much waste there is just in private companies too.

      I have wanted a bunch of serious auditors for a long time, especially in the Veterans Administration. The thievery going on there is reprehensible, and so many veterans are among our homeless, alcoholic, and PTSD afflicted populations because of their service.

      We owe them.
