... Senate confirms Project 2025 architect Russell Vought to lead powerful White House budget office. ...

Is that really a surprise?

Does anyone really expect the current GOP to rise above their kissing of Pres Trump's ring, and put the Country first and foremost?

Not even remotely. Senior Co-President and DOGE Lord Commander Elon said a long time ago he would destroy any Republican that stepped out of line.

I'm not surprised. Maybe a little sad about the destruction of the country my dad believed in.

Honestly I was hoping to bait the resident Nazis.

Meh.

Hate to break the news.

But.

All of Trump's Cabinet picks will get approved.

Every single one of them.

I know.

I can still yell into the void pretending it makes a difference.

I'm well aware it does not.

I don't have a problem with Proj. 2025. Not a bad deal. Sit back and enjoy, and if you use DEI in 2028 as a bolster, you wont occupy the oval office any time before 2032.

" I don't have a problem with Proj. 2025."

What's your reaction to Trump lying to your face about it?

No problem with that either?!?

lol

Traitor - assuming you're even a US citizen :)

If you're OK with Project 2025 - either you have not actually read the whole awful plan, or you're getting all giddy about concentration camps and ovens.

Probably the second part.

You're not a Nazi...real 1940's Nazis would put you on a train, tattoo a number on you, and work you to death.

lol

My father was a WWII vet. I am glad he did not live to see the GOP become the fascists he fought and sacrificed to defeat in that war.

#11 | Posted by Hickory at 2025-02-07 11:18 PM

Trump's cult proves that fascism lives in in the dark soul of every country, even the one that beat the nazis.

Americans who grew up cheering for movies where nazis got killed are now rooting for nazis. Elect a black president and white people lose their minds.

"Americans who grew up cheering for movies where nazis got killed are now rooting for nazis. "

Not all Americans.

I can still hit a target consistently at 500 yards.

Given the chance some of us would be perfectly ok with killing a Nazi or two.

Semper Fi

Hickory, my Grandfather fought in WW2 in the South Pacific and he would have loved Trump. But nice attempt at grandstanding.

He would have said "hey this guy is doing everything that hitler did on his way to power. But I'm cool with it because he's a new yorker instead of a german!"

#15 | Posted by SpeakSoftly at 2025-02-08 11:08 PM

Speaks ... the "hope" posters of a previous administration certainly mirrored Nazism a bit more than you guys care to admit. Not to mention the messiah complex you granted to the man. So save me the bs.

#16 | Posted by Bluewaffles at 2025-02-09 01:50 AM

Also parallels between the rise of Hitler vs Obama ... both came into power after a financial disaster both ushered in to power. Both forces private companies to work in tandem with the government (which is the literal "National socialism"). Anyways I can keep going if you'd like ...

#17 | Posted by Bluewaffles at 2025-02-09 01:54 AM

Not necessary.
Youve made your ridiculousness perfectly clear.

#18 | Posted by Doc_Sarvis at 2025-02-09 04:59 AM

Let's do one more Doc.., Last year it was the Hope and Change voters attacking Jews. Sound familiar?

#19 | Posted by Bluewaffles at 2025-02-09 09:56 AM

#17 | Posted by Bluewaffles

Are only in the minds of vicious, dishonest people.

But I can see where the description of Nazism as applied to you and your friends is hitting home.

My advice: Don't let it get to you.

Just be the goddammed Nazis you people are and have done.

#16 | Posted by Bluewaffles

Trump's entire political rise mirrors nazis, and you're going to compare that to a POSTER made by a random artist, not a politcal leader?

What about images that the leader himself commands be made of him? Like these?

So how come nazis hate obama and love trump?

POOF waffles vanishes.

#22 | Posted by SpeakSoftly at 2025-02-09 05:35 PM

Oh I'm still here Speaks, why did the hope and change crowd attack Jews relentlessly last year?

That brush isn't just broad, it's ridiculously and cartoonishly ENORMOUS. Which makes your attempt at some deflection and blame shifting hilariously awful, ignorant, and pathetic. It's also a stupid point to try and make in the first place. Why do you even bother with such nonsense? Do you actually think you are making some point, or is it just trolling?

Such a waste of time to even bother.

Yav, have you ever considered that maybe right now at this point in history that the Democrats are the bad guys?

#27 | Posted by Bluewaffles at 2025-02-10 01:33 AM

Yeah, you tell us we're going into camps.

You're not a good guy.

#28 | Posted by Alexandrite at 2025-02-10 03:45 AM

Oh Alex, if I simply amplify the delusions both Zed and Legally have both written about extensively and affirm them ... That doesn't make me a bad guy; it's simply me making a mockery of modern left thought.

MAGA is so, so, so, so much closer to Nazi than any Democrat.
MAGA is so, so, so, so much closer to Fascism than any Democrat.
They embrace both. They are unapologetic about it.

You are lost and it is sad. There is no moral ambiguity about this.

Any decent person would say the side with the russians, saudis, nazis, klansmen, and confederates on it is the bad guys. Which side is that?
