    California does a DOGE

    “Would you look at that. All the wasteful spending happens when we send money to Washington DC.”

    You know what, red states?

    Go for it. See what happens. I want you to do it. I want you to see what happens. I want your citizens to experience what happens.

    I want the citizens who didn’t vote for you to fucking leave (spoiler alert: that’s gonna be a disproportionate amount of the more intelligent side of your citizenry).

    I want the citizens who did vote for you to be alarmed and shocked and dismayed and say things like “who could have dreamed this would happen?”, because, as law enforcement loves to say: ignorance is not a defense.

    Fuck around; find out. I hope the leopards enjoy your faces. Fucking imbeciles.

    Blue states should do it to and unilaterally cut police budgets and corporate welfare.

    “Why did the school close? Now I have to pay for childcare.”

    “Why haven’t they filled this pothole yet?”

    “Why haven’t they fixed that traffic light yet?”

    “Why did they take away my food stamps?”

    “Why did they take away my Medicaid?”

    Must be those damn immigrants, transgenders, and Democrats.

      The thing about it, if you look at it, the wait for the gov to do anything in those states is like double what the blue states have. (looking at time to get permits and the like) So they already are behind in work load, and they wanna kill that.

    Yeah the GOP tried that in Michigan in select cities during the Snyder administration using their “Emergency Manager” law. They tried to save money in Flint by switching to a closer water source and then proceeded to cut corners in that transition process. Obviously things went very poorly.

      Yeah and their decades of leadership left the roads in shambles yet they have the nerve to bitch about the road work every summer. Maybe they wouldn’t have to replace every single overpass if you guys just did regular maintenance in the 90s, 00s and 10s.

        Hopefully Whitmer gets all the cash she can from the IRA before it’s gutted.

          I am loving being ignorant to what you are speaking on as now I am thinking some how the Irish Republican Army is funneling money into MI for some reason.

    It’s kind of hilarious since that’s literally them just offering to punch themselves in the nuts for street cred.
