  • The man is a thief, but there’s nothing to steal here. He’s lowering his totally bogus $ amount that he supposedly saved the government based on contract and lease cancellations.

    Every single contract (~10) that I know very specific details about that was DOGE-cancelled has a problematic “savings” amount on the doge.gov website. Every one is wrong. That’s just the 10 I know about where I have privileged information. There’s currently more than 8000 listed. I suspect most of those have similar issues with the reported “savings” amount.

    This is straight accounting that they are botching.

    Nevermind that the $ savings is bogus even if the accounting was accurate. Because these cancellations are costing the US taxpayer big-time in the long run.


  • No way, this is protest worthy.

    The plan allegedly has this going from VA to DC, so a bridge crossing and two jurisdictions are involved. Arlington, VA and DC. So that’s the first protest. Make sure Arlington and DC know they cannot issue permits or support this in any way. Likely would involve crossing Memorial Bridge or 14th.

    A complex route with a bridge crossing is a second. Would be a shame if something happened there to prevent movement…

    Finally, twin 12v truck horns are $22 at Harbor Freight, a 100 pack of ear plugs for you and your neighbors are $15, and sealed 12v batteries can be had for about $100. If a 1,000 people are willing to pony up less than $150, it will shut this thing down completely. Would require water cannons or tear gas to restore it. Which might be even more difficult to deploy if Arl and DC cops aren’t there to support it (see #1).
