It's not really a priority of mine to be too concerned about it. I'd much rather he fired all of DHS, including Kristie Noem. And then start working on disintegrating the CIA. 

Not realistic and a terrible idea. 

Although, it does seem like border czar Homan is more like DHS secretary right now. Talk about an unelected bureaucrat....

Oh, I'll also add looking online at the memo, 2 of the authors of the OMB memo were directly involved in Project 2025.

Yes, there were hundreds of people involved in Project 2025.  A few working in the Trump admin is ABSOLUTE PROOF Trump endorses all of everything in Project 2025.

That helped author this OMB memo....that is Executive overreach. 

But, hey people on here swore it wouldn't matter. Looks like it is.

Did I miss the part of the election interviews where people were told they were voting for dome rocket defense to be built?

We already have a whole agency, the Missile Defense Agency that is doing that. 

The EO just explains what is already going on with the US missile defense system. It's just funny because Trump makes it sound like he came up with it. 

It will just cost billions..

Ummm, this includes you. You even said that you agreed on some parts of it. So, if you're trying to trip people up, please be aware that you're doing a bad job if it.

I think everything needs to be cut. The forever war machine and the agencies that are entangled with that, I agree with Trump that FEMA needs to be looked at (obviously it sucks as an agency and we've all known this since NOLA), social security. All of it and more. Won't hurt my feelings at all.

Nah, I said that people that were involved in Project 2025 would be involved in the administration. 

It wouldn't define the entire Trump Presidency, but they would be part of his administration and have influence.

That is happening. 

Is it everything liberals said, no. But, is only a week in

That war machine has prevented a third world war. But, yeah,  the DOD budget is very bloated. It needs reform, not an ax taken to it, or others.

Also, you do that, drastic cuts, you invite China to continue to take over the void. Do you want that?

If you can read and you are as smart as you say you are, you would have been able to infer that clearly I did. Or maybe it’s because trump came out and said he did it. Pick one. 

Quit trying so hard dude. It’s ok if everyone here isn’t a staunch conservative. You don’t have to try to argue every time I or ptown post. If you think things are going well that’s awesome, post about it. 

Or maybe for the next three years you can post and say 

“ GeEbLoCK tHiNks TRuMp wANteD rOcKeTs”  lol

This Kennedy confirmation hearing is hilarious. One side is giving blowjobs and the other side is crucifying. I can’t believe that the Republicans are supporting his nomination other then they are afraid of Trump.

No, they didn't.  They said there was no proof the crazy parts, much less the entirety, would be enacted.

I'm sure there are some very common sense policies in there. Some of the people who wrote those would undoubtedly be involved in the Administration, and/or have been in the past.

This is called a "red herring" for the easily fooled.  When something crazy from Project 25 gets implemented by Trump, I'm sure you'll let us all know.  Until then, you can stick it.

I don’t want jmog to blow a gasket so I am asking a general question. Is this true or is it a lie? My guess is no way this is true 

Likely cloaked as some sort of contraceptive assistance or reproductive health.  The real lie is these types of things are nothing more than government sponsored money laundering schemes.  Where the really bad actors take most of the legit cover "aid" for themselves as well.

I mean, that is pretty much it. If you're in the game, you want to stay in the game and reap all the benefits of being a mover-and-shaker, so the best way to do that is just do whatever Trump wants because the second you don't, you'll have all the MAGA X-Twats screaming that you're a TRAITOR who's going to get a REAL MAGA AMERICAN knocking you out of office when your next primary happens.

So they just rubber stamp his agenda and tell themselves that it's his last term; with him being an old fatass, who knows if he'll even last all four years; and it's not like any of his acolytes have the "it factor" to be taken as seriously as he is. So, do what he wants now and get back to your normalcy afterwards because it's not exactly likely one of those total dipshits like MTG is going to successfully wear the MAGA crown when Don's done.

You are massively underestimating JD Vance.

Spoiler alert: in 4 years, the Dem media will be crying "JD Vance is much smarter than Trump, and that makes him EVEN MORE dangerous".

I mean, they already ran that playbook with Desantis.  But it's not like they'll come up with a new narrative for Vance.

It will be interesting to see how Viveck does if he does choose to run for Governor of Ohio. 


Our family friend was really pushed to be JD Vance’s replacement and was on a short list given to Dewine. Dewine ruled him out as being to “conservative.”

Haven’t watched any of it, any highlights that is actually informative either way and not grandstanding by either Rs or Ds?

Yes, one should research before they believe things they read on the internet It’s a generally true statement.


With that said the only two parts of that video that were true was condoms were used to float bombs, and there was a $50m aid package halted.  The package was generically for “medical” which possibly could have had condoms, but obviously not $50m based on 2m residents roughly.  


I believe people at the WH have already started to walk back the statement, at least to different news media outlets.

Thanks for the clarification. For further clarification, I didn’t read it. It was a direct quote from the president and repeated by his press secretary, which is why I asked. The more I have read since then leads me to believe it’s 99 percent not true.

There is always a positive spin put on the label when the government wants to spend tax dollars.  Whatever label they slapped on this appropriation "condoms for hamas" likely is far more representative of its worth.
