To be fair, the poll isn't by Breitbart. To be factual, the subjective title hides that it has a 39% approval rating.

Virtually they're asking for that money back

They earn the federal government something like 90B more than they get back.

Yes yes yes, the title that rewrote the fact that 61% of America does not support DOGE. They're not liking it. In fact fewer people approve of it than Trump (44%). It's a real race to the bottom.

"BuT tHEy NeVEr tRIed tO aSsAsSiNaTe HiM" - This community last September when a gunman was found at Trump's golf course staring down a scope at the then-candidate but was found to be a conservative

Are popularity contests all you care about? I'm still waiting for an audit, but reports so far don't seem to say DOGE is that effective (without posting a source other than DOGE or Elon directly)

And every few days (hours?) the US general public forgets this.

Why do you think it's one of their favorite sites? It tells them what they want to hear. I haven't found a single credible news source repeating the claim about those who took the vaccine becoming blind or disabled.

I found VPS (and more than a few red colored sites trying to pass it off as the term VAIDS for extra fear factor) and yeah it doesn't sound good to get but the fact they're only finding thousands of cases after millions of injections proves it works for 99.9...% of people. I wish bread was that effective (Celiac's disease will impact 100x more people than this vaccine side effect). I wish insulin was that effective in diabetics (checkout insulin resistance and shitty generics that healthcare providers insist you use despite low rates of effectiveness). I wish it wasn't this hard for people to understand probabilities.

Wow, we're losing allies left and right... Ok predominantly Left, but I can't really blame them.

 
 

Admin comments on lemm.ee: https://lemm.ee/post/55846636/18367529

tl;dr for lemm.ee:

In short, somebody posted a pro-Elon-Musk-doing-a-nazi-salute Valentine's Day meme and the mods left it up so people started complaining in other communities and the admins realized "you know, we never see reports from our instance's most controversial community" because the mods were quick to act leaving everything up. So the original salute poster was banned and all the mods were dethroned as the admins are taking a wait-and-see approach on what to do with the community.

I haven't found a comment about what happened at .world yet but there are zero mods for their community too.

Power tripping mods getting their comeuppance!
