I'm sure an "undercover" Democrat posing as a MAGAt on J6 would have been in the news constantly. So find us just some.

I surely guarantee that Maga will no fall for such traps again. Can't say the same for them poor tesla owners.
"it proves" - using that logic you can say that it "proves" that fire is made out of water. empty words, especially when you ignore known and undeniable facts.I'm am enabling this behavior. I got a hidden super power. I love it!
Anywho the article proves the checks and balances is working in this great nation. Questions?
In your mind, is the number on the DOGE website real or not? Just say yes or no so we all understand where you stand in this whole mess. I have to ask for your opinion because I can't ask you for proven facts since you are denying them.

The glass is half empty are you says all the numbers are fake? Obviously human errors can and do occur. Even ai makes errors. So are you discrediting everything as a whole based on a few errors? The significant threshold normally means 5% finding. So to reiterate 100 % of everything reported is inaccurate according to you?
Wait, what trap did MAGA fall for?
"Obviously human errors can and do occur." - then why haven't they corrected the errors? the numbers obviously include what they themselves said to be "errors".
And for crying out loud... it's not 5%... seriously... have you not taken any interest in wtf they are doing and just using random percentages?

You also completely ignored the "transparency" issue (of which you have none), but I guess ignoring it gives you some sort of excuse to pretend that it's a random percentage like "5%".
They keep deleting tens or hundreds of "savings" from the list, but the total never goes down. It's pathetic to see such incompetency and sheer fascist behavior. Their biggest accomplishment was to fire some people... oh, and to take away a grant for vaccinating children.

What was the Reichstag fire? And the aftermath?

Brother, you get the most baffling post award. EVERYTHING in that is an exact formula that tRUMP has followed from the start in 2017. Did you post the wrong link by accident?
Anyway, it did not answer my question, and you can save some time by just admitting you got nothing. What trap did MAGA fall for?

The trap that gets you dwelling on the past like the Nazis have against the communist party in Germany. This historical event is what got Hitler full power against the opposition party. In that event the communist were considered the insurrectionists as well. January 6th is the smearing of Maga is directly from Hitlers playbook. Let's ignore the actual brown shirts destroying other people's property ( tesla cars) by painting thier favorite swastika symbols and hyper focus on the past like nazies did. Circle back.

According to Reuters, they were leaving before Musk bought the company because their promoted tweets were being shown alongside those advocating pedophilia.
Later, many didn't want to advertise out of fear that their promoted tweets would be shown alongside those showing photos of dead Palestinian children.
Additional points:
Most of the owners were eager to sell to Musk because the company was overvalued (it lost money almost every year it operated, and during the only time it earned big it lost big the following year). In fact, several of them even threatened to sue Musk if he decided to change his mind (he was doubtful because he thought that a significant chunk of the user base consisted of 'bots).
Later, he reported that had he not fired thousands of worthless and overpaid employees (mostly content managers), the company would have been two billion dollars in the hole. He also had to sell lots of things employees were wasting company funds on, like designer chair and coffee makers and even gym equipment (!).
After they were fired, many moved to decentralized platforms that were not only not earning much but was also filled with pedophiles. On top of that, censorship increased as they began to attack other other. Finally, the former head of Twitter who joined them in one platform, Jack Dorsey, eventually went back to Twitter:

because of content moderation problems in Bluesky. He even added that they were making the same mistakes on that platform as they did in Twitter.
Eventually, some thought that X (formerly Twitter) would collapse because of the firings. Not only did that not happen it became even more efficient. They argued that Mastodon, Bluesky, and others would flourish, and they didn't. They argued that there would be more freedom of speech in decentralized platforms, and instead the opposite took place.
And many of them are giving up and returning to other platforms because of lack of engagement.
Meanwhile, it turns out that what X wants to do Facebook, Reddit, and others want to do as well, e.g., multi-function like retail, financing, B2B, video, audio, and virtual meeting services, etc., more revenue streams through subscription and charging third parties for accessing user content, and so on.
Why? Because there's not enough revenues from advertising, plus more users have found more ways to block ads.

Twitter/X co-founder Jack Dorsey left the board of Bluesky, an X rival, and even deleted his account earlier this week. He explained why in an interview with Founders Fund's Mike Solana.

Then feel free to leave.
