Putin's Loyal DOGE

posted by Roy Schestowitz on Mar 02, 2025

Now he's losing contracts given to him by the Biden administration (in spite of sucking up to the insurrectionist)

‘Less regulation' or deregulation is what IBM's CEO wanted.

What does less regulation mean to the average American?

That American billionaires (or South African "illegals" naturalised much later) can buy elections and then make all the important decisions (in their own favour), leaving constituents entirely out of them?

We hereby crown Arvind Krishna "Putin's DOGE".

Enjoy the title, you brave cowboy. IBM CEOs were not always wrecking balls. █
