You beat all the rest of us to it.
Fuck em all. I sincerely hope at least the worst like 15 of them end up in prison. Musk would be nice too, but we all know that's not going to happen.
Wait they thought they could do evil shit and use the "just following orders" excuse?
They're just classic brown shirts. They literally didn't think that anyone would come after them.
I am not sure they can't. I will have to see them actually have real consequences before I believe they can't just do evil shit under the guise of "just following orders".
Me sowing: Haha fuck yeah!!! Yes!!
Me reaping: Well this fucking sucks. What the fuck.
If it isn't the consequences of their own actions
They should. We are gonna get you.
They deserve to be afraid for the rest of their lives.
Weird. Do they think they did something illegal?
Edit: I think they did, but that is just me. A person not breaking the law.
Should have thought of that before they did everything they did.
Big balls may want to change his name before going to prison.
Wdym?
Here's 'totally regular balls, nothing to see here" now.
Big Balls Exposed?!?!
Big Beautiful Bill’s Balls.
Current and former Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) staffers are growing increasingly concerned that the work they did slashing government programs and eliminating jobs will come back to haunt them with the possibility of criminal prosecutions.
God I sure fucking hope so. Big balls getting his ass beat is not a real punishment. They should all be made to do years worth of community service. The kind of community service that would force them to interact with the people whose lives they destroyed and make them active participants in fixing things.
The data theft and possible espionage seems like an even bigger liability for them. They know they did illegal shit, and those star link antennas were there for that reason.
Poor little fascist fucks
Next up ICE "employees".
Hahaha I hope the legal fees bankrupt and ruin them. Fuck you, Big Balls.
Big Balls indeed. Womp womp.
Yeah, they should.
Death cults are a helluva drug. They should have just got some tattoos instead of playing around with people's lives.
What an unfortunate thing to happen on dozen eggs night.
SO they KNEW they were committing CRIMES while they were doing them? This makes them THUGS! Prison for traitors to the American people.
Wasn't there a mandated limit to how much time he could serve in that role? Not to say he wouldn't have abandoned them, but he was moreso forced out is my understanding. Not that this administration has an issue bending the rules when it feels like (read: completely ignoring them)
For the purpose of sections 203, 205, 207, 208, and 209 of this title the term “special Government employee” shall mean an officer or employee of the executive or legislative branch of the United States Government, of any independent agency of the United States or of the District of Columbia, who is retained, designated, appointed, or employed to perform, with or without compensation, for not to exceed one hundred and thirty days during any period of three hundred and sixty-five consecutive days
— 18 USC § 202(a)
Highlight is mine, but yes. There's a limit of 130 days.
That says 165.
130 days max in 365 days
I think you mixed the two numbers
Derp! Lol that's exactly what I did. Is late onset dyslexia a thing?
Don't worry I do the same thing a lot.
What does bigballs think of all this /s
Whatever just get Farritor back on analyzing those Herculaneum scrolls
