  • The Orange Turd and his buddy Elon are running a criminal operation so sounds about right.

  • Sure, why not?

    I mean, "we" let an unvetted, unelected supposed "genius" run this operation called "doge", so of course, why wouldn't unvetted teenagers with no security clearance and no relevant experience (because, how the fuck could you have enough relevant experience as a fucking TEENAGER - fucking car rental places even know this much) be involved?
