Summary
DOGE staffers Tyler Hassen and Bryton Shang tried pressuring the Bureau of Reclamation to open a California water pump to aid Los Angeles during January’s wildfires, though the system couldn’t reach the city.
When denied, they flew there to do it themselves but failed due to maintenance and access restrictions.
Critics called DOGE a “slapstick operation of 20-somethings they’re seeing as whiz kids but have zero knowledge.”
Trump later ordered dam releases, flooding farmland. Critics called DOGE’s actions reckless and uninformed.
Yelling at various department managers and threatening to call Musk might work for the agencies they’ve gutted, but yeah fucking with any fire department during an active wildfire…I don’t care who you are, you’re gonna have a bad time. Possibly shovel related.
Reminder: pronounce DOGE as “doggy” to deny them legitimacy
I’ve been pronouncing it “doogie” because it makes it seem as silly as it is
I like your approach. It certainly makes me think of how all the people involved are like way too young.
I’m going to keep going with “doggy” because it reinforces to me how the decision making is on par with toddler logic
A couple of terms that need to be resurrected and put into common use during this MAGA Occupation:
Tyler Hassen and Bryton Shang are fascist toadies.
this whole organization runs exactly like a Seth Rogen / Michael Cera / Jonah Hill movie, except no one is likeable.
Ya know when you’re a teenager and you have these delusions of grandure, and think the world would work just fine if you were allowed to run it, because these “Stupid Adults don’t know ANYTHING!”
That’s DOGE
“Stupid Adults don’t know ANYTHING!”
I mean… these are adults.
Only if you look at their chronological age and not their behavior.
All I’m saying is is that I could have absolutely have done a better job as a teenager then these fuckwits.
Fucking morons.
Bout sums it up.
failed PR attempt
Elon Musk needs to be tried and sentenced to death given the level of his crimes committed in and to the US.
Smart people thinking they know everything. I know plenty of preteens that are the same way. They don’t seem to understand there’s a difference between knowledge and wisdom.
Imagine Bryton and Tyler showing up at your workplace in the middle of a crisis to take selfies and tweet about how they fixed your problems.
It feels like the plot of an episode of Parks and Rec, but like, stupider, and not funny at all
These idiots actually thought the only reason the fires were still burning is because someone hasn’t opened up a faucet yet, and that no one else but them have thought of it.
Domestic terrorist, got it
Flying across states for a photo op? Taxpayer money well spent—if you’re making satire.

The fucking idiots were not just wasting water, they were depleting the reservoirs. That water will be sorely missed in the dry season.
This was all by design. It’s meant to fuck over this year’s harvest and drive food prices up.
You get it.
I’m semi convinced this is a setup to justify a Canadian invasion to acquire water in the summer
Can’t fucking wait for real life Water Wars
