... 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.

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.
