People who characterize DOGE as having failed in its mission startle me.

Of course, that mission wasn't what the thoroughly and repeatedly documented straight-faced liars said it was, so I suppose there's room for some naïve folks to think that.

The mission -- "destroy one of the most successful governments in the history of the world as much as possible as quickly as possible while creating maximum chaos and taking a profit" -- was a stunning success.

@GeePawHill DOGE was more like a wild fire, massive destruction. The forrest, though diminished, survived. DOGE supporters (sick asses) were wanting something more like a nuclear bast. that would take all but let's say 1% of people

@GaryAsh @GeePawHill I’m really not sure that DOGE had anything like a real goal. They were pure peacock display: “irritable mental gestures”¹ combined with “move fast and break things.”. Actual substantive, considered, lasting change would have taken way too long and too much thought. Futurism² for today: speed! speed! speed! The Machine!

@marick @GaryAsh @GeePawHill The destruction was the goal. They targeted orgs that Musk considered obstacles and looted as much as they could. Even after Musk was driven out, his stooges remained in place.

Yes, if there had been a structural goal rather than a destructional goal, the world's Dumbest Man per Dollar wouldn't have been put in charge and then disowned as not a government official once he'd fucked it up.
