WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)—Boasting that he was "taking DOGE to the next level," on Monday Elon Musk said that he had formed a new unit called Dept. Of Underaged Clowns Harming Everything (DOUCHE).

As part of the new group's branding push, the Cybertruck they use to roam the streets of Washington will now be called "The DOUCHE Canoe."

Although Musk will be known informally as King DOUCHE, his official title will be Completely Repulsive Individual Never Genuinely Elected (CRINGE).

He could accidentally cut his leg off. I doubt that man has ever handled a piece of machinery.

P.S. be sure to tag this as satire. Or you'll get flagged

Guess Musk will be the hero in the next Sharknado Movie.

Apparently you are not paying attention. Reputable sources are reporting every day the waste that is being cancelled and given back to the treasury. Maybe you should change channels.

But more to the point, you say DOGE is not providing any info because they are lies.

What information are they not providing and what are the lies about those items?

100 million dollars worth of condoms to the Gaza Strip - lie.  150 year old people on social security - lie.  Letting employees go because they are not performing - lie.  Even Trump voters are outraged at the lies.

Show where DOGE reported this

"150 year old people on social security - lie"

That was never reported. The report from DOGE stated that there were people on the SS rolls that purportedly showed them to be 150 years old. No one has made the claim they are still receiving ASS, however, there could be circumstances where a family member could still be receiving payments through a shared bank account. You, nor I, know for sure if there are fraudulent payments. 

"Letting employees go because they are not performing - lie. "

How do you know this? Has everyone let go always performing their job as described?

"Even Trump voters are outraged at the lies.  "

Show where and don't use sob stories of people being let go. They are on the taxpayer dime and work for us. Sucks, yes, but they are by far not the only people to ever be laid off a job.

I guess OAN didn’t cover this so you’re learning here for the first time - Musk’s claim about 50 million dollars worth of condoms to Hamas was laughably false because that aid went to a different country altogether. Musk even admitted that fact, but that didn’t stop Trump from repeating it and doubling the expenditure, making it another massive and obvious bald faced lie.

How have you not seen Musk on tv declaring that 150 year old people are on SS payrolls? I’ve seen it, where have you been?

If you haven’t seen the numerous reports of probationary employees being let go for nonperformance then it is you who needs to change the channel. They let nearly every probationary employee go with this reasoning on a form letter, regardless of their performance reviews or if they had worked in the federal government for decades and were only probationary because they switched positions.

This is why I say this place is literally crawling with bots.[]

Does it really matter where the money went for condoms?

[] "How have you not seen Musk on tv declaring that 150 year old people are on SS payrolls?"

Where did he say there was payments sent to those people? Oh, maybe MSDNC and CNN did not tell you he never said that,

"If you haven’t seen the numerous reports of probationary employees being let go for nonperformance then it is you who needs to change the channel."

Show where they were let go for non performance. They were let go because they were probationary, no other reason.

"They let nearly every probationary employee go with this reasoning on a form letter, regardless of their performance reviews or if they had worked in the federal government for decades and were only probationary because they switched positions."

Do you have a copy of this letter and proof it was sent to every person let go?

Do you not understand DOGE is a shell game designed to replace "1,000s" with 1,000s of MAGA friendly types eager to smudge their lips?

US Administration Terminates Federal Office Leases Through General Services Administration

February 14, 2025

The widely reported directive tasking the US Department of Government Efficiency and the General Services Administration (GSA) with the termination of roughly 7,500 federal office leases nationwide will have far-reaching consequences on institutional landlords, investors, and lenders. To better understand the ramifications of this executive order, it is important to know how GSA leases work and how they are financed.

The standard form L201C GSA lease contains provisions allowing the government to exercise an early termination right upon a certain amount of advance notice to the landlord. This right typically vests after what is known as the “Firm Term” of the GSA lease. From and after the date that the early termination takes effect, the government is no longer liable for rent or other payments under the GSA lease (typically payments will stop in 90 or 120 days). It is possible that the Department of Government Efficiency   and GSA will seek early terminations of leases even during the Firm Term, which will result in negotiations with landlords for early termination and surrender agreements and whether the resulting negotiations result in any payment from the GSA to a lessor will be determined.

Despite the tenant-favorable early termination provision, GSA leases are considered “credit tenant leases” in financings, and lenders have come to rely on the stability of GSA leases at the properties securing their financings. Credit tenant leases are typically longer-term commercial leases with a tenant that has a strong credit rating. This strong credit rating provides additional security to lenders beyond the other real estate collateral when financing a project.

The termination of such credit leases, including a GSA lease, however, will likely trigger unwanted events, for both the borrower and lender under financing arrangements. Early GSA lease terminations may result in any one or more of the following under financing documents: (1) implementation of cash sweeps, (2) inability to satisfy property-level financial covenants, (3) inability of a borrower to pay debt service as a result of diminished rental income, and (4) an event of default that would allow a lender to enforce rights and remedies. 

In addition, additional considerations will need to be addressed if the financing in question is part of a securitization. Accordingly, it is important for both owners/borrowers and lenders to understand their financing arrangements to determine the implications of a GSA lease termination as well as their respective rights and remedies. This novel situation may see the rise in preventative agreements between borrowers and lenders so that entire financings do not fall apart as a result of the GSA lease termination.

Additionally, the impeding lease terminations will create system-wide challenges. The eventual surrender of so much office space will impact ancillary office support services such as restaurants and other shops, parking lots, and other tenants in the buildings where the GSA leases once occupied office space. The extent of such ramifications is yet to be seen.

Morgan Lewis will continue to track the developments of this directive and its impact on the commercial real estate industry as a whole as well as on state and local governments through impact on their respective tax bases.

The full faith and credit of the US Government just took a major hit in the real estate market.

Any future requests will not be handled "as usual".  The government is no longer reliable

and we haven't even seen the ripple effect yet.
