This is why I left Facebook and I'm sure it drove away many others.

Can you give an example of fraud that has been found by doge? If so it is to be commended, but I suspect they are just labelling stuff approved by congress and previous administrations fraud whenever they don't like it.

I can give an example. DOGE uncovered a plan to rebuild critical SSA infrastructure fraudulently and on an incredibly short timescale by giving it to the least competent people possible thanks to political nepotism [1].

You don't need examples when you have faith

I figured it was because he couldn't find a better car such as a 1986 volvo

This is such incredibly twisted logic. I would have honestly been aghast to see this on HN a few years ago, but now the site seems nearly as infected as Facebook or X with this.

An obvious alternative is to increase support to Ukraine to give them what they need to expel Russia. The good old USA has the resources to do that but Republicans have blocked increasing aid at the orders of Donald Trump for years now. And now that he is in power he is finally blocking it altogether.

Is your plan really to just let Russia have new territory whenever they want it? Why do you think this would save money or lives?

Why would Ukraine be accountable for a Russian missile hitting a civilian plane?

Because Russia is innocent by definition. That's how Russians actually think.

It’s hard to see how Russia’s neighbours will avoid war long term if attitudes like this exist in any significant number. It’s pretty grim.

If Iran launched drones againt Israel and Israel shot down a civilian airliner ... how would that be spun

If Israel invaded and annexed parts of Iran and openly demanded Iran as a state was destroyed? Pretty obvious.

Like they are doing to Palestine ?

That’s how a large percent of the Us seems to think too
