So we should finally start seeing legal repercussions for all involved, and a great undoing of everything they’ve done?

Legal repercussions for all involved lowest rank technical staff and a great worsening of all they have done and even more. Just like it happens after every other govt blunder :)

I think it is insincere to call what doge and its employees did a “blunder”.

Their actions were intentional and malicious.

That’s like calling deciding to deny a same sex couple a marriage certificate a bureaucratic “blunder“ when it is in fact a targeted act using your position to supplant existing law to malign others based on your own interests.

Bad choice of a word, my bad.

To be fair it's not like the script is any different outside of government either.

Unsurprising. Saving money/deficit reduction was never the primary goal.

IMO, DOGE's main goal and legacy was/is to grab government agency code and plant trojans.

When the time is "right", seize it all. We are just about there.

We have secret police, concentration camps, and now, federal occupation of a city.

Does anyone see a pattern?

I built a simple tool to download all their data a few month ago (https://dogedownloadtool.pages.dev/). It uses their API and creates a CSV file for the user. It's interesting to do some data analysis with it.

But the damage and destruction of valuable Federal services: priceless.
