'This is bananas': DOGE looks to finagle a building the federal government doesn't own - Rachel Maddow - MSNBC

[Rhiannon12866]

Rachel Maddow updates coverage of Elon Musk's DOGE attacking the U.S. Institute of Peace, despite the organization being an independent non-profit. Now DOGE is looking to take ownership of the USIP headquarters building even though the building does not belong to the federal government. - Aired on 03/31/2025.

1. A "department" that never went through the process to become one wants a building that doesn't even belong to the

very government it pretends to be a part of.

How fucking stupid is this?

2. It's clearly insane, but it shows that they believe they can do anything. They deserve to be kicked out for good.

3. When do we...

Start referring to DOGE as a criminal enterprise?

4. Haven't we started already??

5. I prefer gypsies and even tramps over outright thieves.

Not my favorite song or singer but seems apropos.

Gypsies, Tramps And Thieves
Cher
I was born in the wagon of a travelling show
My mama used to dance for the money they'd throw
Papa would do whatever he could
Preach a little gospel
Sell a couple bottles of Doctor Good

Gypsies, tramps, and thieves
We'd hear it from the people of the town
They'd call us gypsies, tramps, and thieves
But every night all the men would come around
And lay their money down

Picked up a boy just south of Mobile
Gave him a ride, filled him with a hot meal
I was 16, he was 21
Rode with us to Memphis
And papa woulda shot him if he knew what he'd done

Gypsies, tramps, and thieves
We'd hear it from the people of the town
They'd call us gypsies, tramps, and thieves
But every night all the men would come around
And lay their money down

I never had schoolin' but he taught me well
With his smooth southern style
Three months later, I'm a gal in trouble
And I haven't seen him for a while, uh-huh
I haven't seen him for a while, uh-huh

She was born in the wagon of a travellin' show
Her mama had to dance for the money they'd throw
Grandpa'd do whatever he could
Preach a little gospel
Sell a couple bottles of Doctor Good

Gypsies, tramps, and thieves
We'd hear it from the people of the town
They'd call us gypsies, tramps, and thieves
But every night all the men would come around
And lay their money down

Gypsies, tramps, and thieves
We'd hear it from the people of the town
They'd call us gypsies, tramps, and thieves
But every night all the men would come around
And lay their money down
Gypsys, tramps, and thieves

6. I remember that song! A had a friend who often played Cher in her car...

And it seems like it's one thing after another with these thieves. The job of a president is to make life better for the people and the country. These two are ripping off the people and destroying the country.
