S05E06 - DOGE failed, Trump Class Ships, and Fleecing the Government (the DOOM episode)

It's been a while, but we're back with another episode. And this one is a doozy, in all the wrong/right ways. We start with a discussion of how Musk's DOGE initiative was a complete failure. Most of the claimed cuts were inaccurate and didn't happen, and government spending has actually increased during the Trump administration. DOGE failed. This eventually leads to Ryan revealing why he hasn't wanted to discuss politics lately (and we haven't had many recent episodes): while he always knew Trump was a piece of shit, Ryan has finally realized that most of humanity wants that, suggesting they are equally as selfish and inconsiderate of the planet and others. Good times! We then take a quick break to mock the recently announced Trump Class ships that everyone knows are just an attempt to stroke Dear Leader's cock and boost his ego, because the ships are not needed, impossible to build, and already obsolete, but it will also, no doubt, enrich someone who has bribed Trump. Our third topic is a discussion of the recent situation in Minnesota of fraudsters bilking the government to the tune of billions of dollars. Tom's point with this story is that this level of fraud is really only possible with the government, and it's not entirely clear how to prevent it. We end with predictions of what is going to happen to the US. The answer is: DOOM! Revolution! Cataclysmic collapse! Great Depression! Weimar Republic level catastrophe!
