Erasing history for racial and political gain. Hitler was good at that.

If we removed everything that offends people, there would be nothing and no one left.

It's part of history. Removing it does not mean it didn't happen. Grow up people and stop trying to change the past, you can not do it.

True, who is leading this movement? Whoever it is thinks very differently about their ancestors and history. I can’t believe that people of government are allowing this kind of thing to happen. The answer to the problem is not in a statue.

The idea of removing a statue is stupid. The Confederacy is a part of our history, and if we erase a part of it, then we're more likely to repeat it. People get offended too easily and need to suck it up and not be offended by inanimate objects or what they stand for.

how about using the statue as a teaching moment? Trying to erase the visual reminders of our actual past changes nothing. I see this as another example of one group trying to control the narrative to silence people who don't see things the same way.

No its wrong to do so. Because it's part of our history how states evolved. If your gonna get rid of the statues then you need to rewrite the history books . Teachers teach it in schools are they gonna start not teaching bout slavery? If you remove the statues then you might as well remove all .

I think government spending has gotten out of control and needs over site and their own audit.

The Democrats, since Clinton have talked about doing what DOGE is not doing. Yes, Clinton and Obama did some EO, but always gave more lip service than action. Now we have action from Republicans' and still Democrat lip service.

Horrible what they are doing to people. I don't understand how firing people would take care of fraud and abuse. They are stripping people of their livelihoods and it will come back at us because the government will have to cover their unemployment stipends and we will have many more homeless ppl.

About 14.5% of the US workforce, or 20.2 million people, work in the public sector. This includes state, local, and federal government employees. That's way to many people working at a job that produces nothing.

Maybe you should turn of the news and research. Why pay 5 people to do the job of 1. Why keep lazy employees who don't produce when you can keep highly productive workers and increase there pay. See its called rewarding hard work and punishing lazy people. Hard work does pay off.

Elon is not an elected official, not even a cleared contractor for what he is doing. This sabotages democracy.

Elon is only exposing criminals. He is doing nothing else. Become informed, instead of brainwashed.

While often categorized as a democracy, the United States is more accurately defined as a constitutional federal republic.

Unilateral decisions from the Executive branch cannot go unchecked (on BOTH “sides”). Just like when Biden shouldn’t have bypassed the SC with student loan forgiveness. Democracy is fragile and we cannot lean towards dictatorship.

Please explain how exposing fraud, waste and abuse is harming democracy in a republic?
