The employees refused the requests and called sheriff’s deputies. The men fled the building before authorities arrived.

Note that they do not nor should not have any direct power over state and local governments. They can easily be kicked out and they were

find 'em. charge 'em with impersonating government officials. watch the defense wiggle around trying to claim innocence because doge isn't 'official'.

Funny how Doge is actually pronounced "Nazi", huh?

The only good Doge is a dead Doge

The Red Shirts are ramping up, give 'em a bit to get organized. Steve Bannon said, regarding the roundup of immigrants, (I paraphrase), "Obviously there isn't enough sworn officers at any level of government to pull this off. We're going to have to look at getting local groups of patriots together."

Been saying for years they're coming. If there's anyone brown in your house, they will eventually come knocking. ATM, we can tell ICE to get bent without a warrant. Expect that right to be suspended and expect posses to be sworn in on a thin Bible. LGBT is down the road a fair bit, but it will happen. Next, and in between, come outspoken liberals.

If you haven't got armed, learned and trained, it is not too late. But defense is a steep learning curve to the uninitiated. /r/liberalgunowners is the finest source of beginner advice I know of. (Yes, it's reddit. No, lemmy has nothing comparable.)

Do I sound nutty? Over the top? The President of the United States just gave any thug permission to do as they please.

“He who saves his Country does not violate any Law,” the president wrote on Truth Social and X.

Men in DOGE shirts and MAGA hats show up at SF city hall demanding files: officials

You don't sound nutty. The number of people I have had to explain why it's time to begin arming ourselves is stupid. I honestly just want to leave this country. The population is so fucking asleep I am done giving a shit for them.

Wow so the US government experiences what it is like to have an actual GESTAPO.

[–] [email protected] 39 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago) (2 children)

Not the Gestapo because they were not from the government. They were just citizens following their fascist leaders call to arms.

They were brown shirts.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 days ago

Redhats are the new brownshirts.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 days ago

Bet they imagined they were brown-coats.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

So how many places did this work at before they tried SF?

[–] TacoButtPlug 1 points 3 days ago

Fled? Should've detained the motherfuckers. Post their pictures at least.

Ah, the modern revolutionary—armed with crypto memes and a wardrobe from the clearance rack of irony. Nothing screams “efficient governance” like grown men LARPING as Musk’s stormtroopers while cosplaying as budget Guy Fawkes. The DOGE shirts really tie it together—a perfect blend of “I missed the Bitcoin boom” and “my political ideology fits on a hat.”

These clowns aren’t auditing waste; they’re auditioning for a TikTok coup. Imagine thinking demanding files from underpaid civil servants makes you a patriot and not just a digital lynch mob with merch deals.

Musk’s DOGE brigade slashing billions while his fanclub harasses City Hall? Peak late-stage oligarchy. But hey, at least they didn’t forget their MAGA hats—the official uniform of “democracy is broken, but only when we lose.”

How were they not set upon by infuriated passerby like berserking mauraders?

At least pelted with staplers and mugs full of hot coffee??

Fucking nazi cunts, eat a fist.

Which of those two are government agencies?
