"maga are complaining DOGE engineered got fixed."

Jesus fucking Christ, it's the federal government. The public sector. We are fucking ENTITLED to know who runs our government.

There’s no way a busty woman talking about bitcoins could honeypot any of these people. No sir. These young men are definitely above that sort of thing and no enemy of America would be wise enough to take advantage of these young lads.

Nope, totally safe and secure. We should all sleep soundly tonight knowing some 19 year old has access to our national treasury under the order of a ketamine addict.

Hitlerjugend.

This is extra funny because for the week or two after The Adjustment Musk wasn't seen in public at all without his infant son riding on his shoulders. He literally did this exactly like it's shown in the comic, except with his own child.

[–] kn0wmad1c@programming.dev 90 points 20 hours ago (3 children)

I hope these kids understand just how hated they are and how history is going to treat them.

Akash Bobba, 21, a student at the University of California, Berkeley; Edward Coristine, 19, a student at Northeastern University in Boston; and Ethan Shaotran, 22, who said in September he was a senior at Harvard.

The ones who actually have degrees, or at least have left college, are: Luke Farritor, 23, who attended the University of Nebraska without graduating; Gautier Cole Killian, a 24-year-old who attended McGill University; and Gavin Kliger, a 25-year-old who attended Berkeley;

[–] Pechente@feddit.org 70 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

Of course not, that's why Musk picked kids after all.

[–] HubertManne@moist.catsweat.com 19 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

God it starts at 19 and has one of each age. I think of the young republican duschebags from college. we are so doomed.

[–] Infinite@lemmy.zip 7 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

Commonly accepted spellings are douchebag or deutschbag

[–] KSPAtlas@sopuli.xyz 1 points 6 minutes ago

Douchebag the pejorative term for people comes from a tool used to push fluids into cavities

Deutschbag is a variation I've not heard of, the pronunciation only works if you pronounce it wrong, and it feels like an anti-German variation

I for one am glad I have faces to attach to the piece of shit.

If I ever see one in public, they get a nice crisp high-five. To the face.

[–] thesohoriots@lemmy.world 2 points 17 hours ago

They’re going to need some batteries for their electronics too, Philly-style. Ah, kids these days and their tech.

[–] HubertManne@moist.catsweat.com 1 points 16 hours ago

Thats horrible. I would never want to see a high speed piece of flesh hit them in the face.

[–] grte@lemmy.ca 100 points 20 hours ago (3 children)

Why is a 50+ year old man surrounding himself with near children?

[–] capt_wolf@lemmy.world 36 points 16 hours ago* (last edited 16 hours ago) (1 children)

Because it's easier for him to tell them what to do since they don't know any better. And if/when things all go to shit, he'll be able to blame the incompetence of their age. Every good criminal sets up a better fall guy for when they get caught. See Chris Christie and Bridgegate.

[–] TrueStoryBob@lemmy.world 2 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah, was gonna say, nothing law-wise will ever touch Musk... these kids are the fall guys.

[–] capt_wolf@lemmy.world 3 points 11 hours ago* (last edited 10 hours ago)

He won't ever anyway. He'll get a presidential pardon from Trump as a final thank you for his service to the regime and never see any consequences. These kids are whipping boys for the public to eat alive once Musk spins a story about them.

[–] phughes@lemmy.ca 48 points 20 hours ago

It's always projection with these guys.

[–] ogeist@lemmy.world 7 points 18 hours ago

"Now now, come an tell uncle Musky what's worrying you"

When the chats leak there will a "at least I'm not a virgin", 100% guaranteed

[–] atzanteol@sh.itjust.works 25 points 18 hours ago

That 19 yr old is a serious contender for "most punchable face".

[–] MushuChupacabra@lemmy.world 44 points 19 hours ago

Creepy Peter Pan and his Lost Boys.

[–] ALoafOfBread@lemmy.ml 70 points 21 hours ago (2 children)

Musky youth brownshirt brigade

[–] phughes@lemmy.ca 20 points 20 hours ago

I hope they know what happened to the Brownshirts.

[–] leisesprecher@feddit.org 9 points 19 hours ago

Muskjugend.

~~Hitler~~ Muskjugend (youth)

I had to do a triple take to make sure this wasn't The Onion

Every time I hear about muskrat these days I can't help but think of Chang. I wonder when the amnesia arc is going to start.

[–] Adderbox76@lemmy.ca 1 points 15 hours ago

He's probably already living in the boiler-room at Mar-a-Lago with a mannequin leg as a lover.

[–] peregrin5@lemm.ee 7 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

I suppose we were complaining about how everyone in politics is too old.

[–] bollybing@lemmynsfw.com 3 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

If only there were a middle ground somewhere between "just entered the workforce" and "should have retired 10+ years ago". Oh well.

[–] peregrin5@lemm.ee 1 points 13 hours ago

My prediction: politics will only be Boomers and Gen Z/Alpha. Millennials will be completely bypassed politically. (Probably our own fault)

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 9 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

People always say The Thick of It and In the Loop are very accurate, but where is Malcolm Tucker when we need him?

It's fun, but it's not as fun when it's the real guy and not Capaldi. If this was an Armando Iannuci show, he would be saying that in Zuckerberg's face. With a lot more swearing.

“Nasty Reddit comments” lol
