HART: DOGE Doesn’t ‘Put Democracy At Risk,’ DOGE IS Democracy

HART: DOGE Doesn’t ‘Put Democracy At Risk,’ DOGE IS Democracy HART: DOGE Doesn’t ‘Put Democracy At Risk,’ DOGE IS Democracy

The office of the president of the United States is the only nationally elected office and, as such, is cloaked in immense powers. Article 2 of the Constitution, “the vesting clause,” says power is vested in one person: the president.

Any “risk to democracy” is not a president trying to right-size government. It is the unaccountable and unelected bureaucracy of lifetime civil “servants” who make laws, regulate, and answer to no one. 

Senator Mike Lee (R-Utah) has a 13-foot-tall stack of laws created by the “administrative state” in his office. Contained therein are more than 300,000 federal criminal offenses on the books, created by agencies and bureaucrats, for which they can arrest anyone of us.

Trump ran (with Elon Musk) on cutting wasteful spending and fraud and taming the burgeoning Washington bureaucracy. Democrats are shocked when a politician does what he says he is going to do. 

Trump is fearless. It started on the day he took office. On his Inaugural Night, there were six big balls: four held around D.C. and 2 of which ended up at the White House. Leave it to Trump to highlight the accomplishment of African-American Elon Musk during February, Black History Month.

The cockroaches are scattering in D.C. Only the most corrupt politicians are complaining about DOGE. Dems have not been this nervous with DOGE poking around since they thought the Epstein Island list would get out.

The low-effort thinking that leads them to complain about this continues to amaze me. Polls show that 76% of Americans support cutting waste, abuse, and fraud. Trump is polling well with all demographics, except young women 18-25. To fix that, he should hire Bill Belichick. 

Simply asking federal workers to list five things they did last week has them clutching their pearls in indignation (a telling sign that DOGE is on the right track). To be fair to the bureaucrats in D.C., since hiring they were told by their bosses to do nothing, just act important. Seinfeld’s George Costanza would have fit in well. 

In an email, Elon reported on what was accomplished: “I will go first,” he said.  He said he fired 30,000 non-working government “employees,” shot a rocket into space, made 2,500 electric cars, volunteered at DOGE rooting out $10 billion in waste, and fathered 2 kids.

And that was on the federal holiday week of President’s Day. Musk honored our country’s founding Presidents, George Washington, and Thomas Jefferson, by praising them and cutting off their Social Security checks.

It has been reported that our NSA has an online inter-office chatroom about three-ways, bondage, S&M, etc. These kinks are on government computers and time. I cannot wait to see their email list of the 5 things they did last week. 

AOC and other government-dependent leeches are protesting and even telling illegal criminals how to avoid ICE. They are angry and mean. I found that out by dating and disappointing women like her; you can tell a lot about a woman by how she goes about keying your car.

Showing up to listen to AOC rant at one of her speeches is like asking for an encore at a Yoko Ono concert. Elon is breaking up the government so badly and so abruptly that Taylor Swift is writing a song about it. (RELATED: HART: It Takes Juan to Know Juan)

Elon sees a rotary phone dialing D.C. bureaucracy using 1980s-type computer systems that are ripe for technological efficiency upgrades. Even oligarchs like Mark Zuckerberg are getting on board. With Facebook, Zuckerberg has made targeted advertising efficient, all the while taking the legwork out of stalking someone. 

Aside from saving us money with much-needed cuts, Trump is about to settle the Ukraine/Russia war and get some of our money back. He is in talks with Putin, and making Zelensky, Macron of France, and Trudeau of Canada sit at the kids’ table while he does so. The novel concept of Ukraine paying us back with rare earth minerals for our $185 billion-plus is the type of common sense lost in Washington for years. 

Trump is ending wars. For a supposedly “out of control dictator/fascist,” has never started a war, if you do not count one with the women of The View. 

What DOGE is doing is what every business and organization must do. You evaluate what you are doing and why. Then you adjust. Business does it all the time. For example, Hooters filed for bankruptcy recently. Men are not going to Hooters anymore; DoorDash has become their choice. So, Hooters will evaluate and revamp its business model, and perhaps have its staff do food home delivery. I suggest they change the name from Hooters to Knockers.
