NEW: Trump selects Russ Vought, architect of Project 2025, to lead White House budget office

Vought helped Trump craft plans to purge the Justice Department, deploy the military to quash civilian unrest, & massively expand presidential power over spending

They still need to act less like they are repeating a salesman's sale pitches and explain the significance of why these people are being picked. Bonus if they explain why Trump is trying to blanket the media with daily news.

Someone pointed out that Project 2025 is just the white Christian nationalist and Norwegian domestic terrorist, Anders Behring Breivik's, manifesto brought to life. Scary stuff.

The media failed us.

marilith.bsky.social•98 days ago

They did their job. Their corporate masters want fascism.

Sad but true

Reported by the Washington Post, which Jeff Bezos has turned into another gutless rag because he's afraid Trump will retaliate against his other businesses.

Democracy dies in darkness and this is how.

Call them what they are, company men.

siliconundergro.bsky.social•98 days ago

This is why I have toilet paper like the Washington Post and New York Times blocked here. Journalism was never supposed to be stenography.

In other words:

Our government is going to shovel our currency to loyalists.

playirtz.bsky.social•98 days ago

It was the easiest thing to see and most blatant fingers crossed behind back moment during the election. "Never met anyone in project 2025 heehee"

enorconhcet.bsky.social•98 days ago

I hope that includes his government.

markesienko.bsky.social•98 days ago

I seroiusly doubt there is some 'longstanding rule' to help the Orange Clown! The more plausible stance is their enamored with the ratings and profits he brought them during his first administration! If there is any order, that's what it is, make more money!

American media is complicit.

As if they didn't know that Trump was a pathological liar? They care more about their seething hatred for all who don't' look like or think like them! The cult of debouchery & sleaze baggery are selfish & greedy! ONE LOOK AT TRUMP'S CABINET PICKS SAYS IT ALL! SCUM!

raptorgirlsk.bsky.social•98 days ago

The media was complicit in electing Trump.

immigrant2blusky.bsky.social•98 days ago

Many reporters have seemingly always bought-into trump’s Sgt Schultz defense of his actions. Then they are surprised when others view them skeptically, and lacking integrity. Their inflated egos prevent them from any form of self-reflection.

Trumps has selected several women in his cabinet. But has selected only one black as his garbage disposal. Dumb Ass Trump thinks the only position a black is qualified for is HUD. The racist in chief has executed his Project 2025 oh and red hats have replaced white hoods

calvinbrooksblue.bsky.social•98 days ago

Trump is already acting on project 2025

In sum:

If you’re a Big Dog Loyalist, you’ll get a government printed 💵

If you’re a small dog loyalist, you’ll get a nickel if you’re lucky

Besides Vought, Tom Homan is a Project2025 contributor and Heritage Foundation fellow.
John Ratcliffe also contributed and is quoted. Same for Brendan Carr.
Pete Hoekstra, Stephen Miller, Karoline Leavitt, Reed Rubinstein all have ties to P2025.

After his lies, Trump unmasks a P2025 Cabinet

calvinbrooksblue.bsky.social•98 days ago

100% truth 👆🏽

katiecannon.bsky.social•98 days ago

Many of whole perfectly understand that Hitler simply refused to pay WWI war reparations that were denominated in foreign currency.

So Germany could print tons of Deutsche Marks to pay for WWII.

Small d democrats think money comes from tax payers and bond holders

bobsyouruncle.bsky.social•98 days ago

It’s bloody shameful.
They knew it was a lie and still backed his story.
Truly pathetic

mick04430.bsky.social•98 days ago

This was always the plan… the mantra of the right is always to “lie to your face while they stab you to death for your own good”. I’ve watched them work since Reagan invited in the Evangelicals and it’s always the same recipe.

'Myna Birds' 'Lie Mules' .... old-school for 'Stenographers'

The worst, most ineffective journalists go to press briefings. The worst, most ineffective news platforms carry Trump live.

lucivf.bsky.social•98 days ago

MSM is shameful. Their coverage of trump was lazy and shameful.

realbenisons.bsky.social•97 days ago

I think whatever Trump says is newsworthy

What's bad is treating Trump as a reliable narrator

Also bad is a semantics of action in which Harris/Biden/Ds seek + attempt whereas Trump simply does

Reporting the actual words trump was saying wasn't a lie. It's not journalists fault if readers are actual too stupid to understand when a politician is very blatantly lying to them. 99% of these stories pointed out all the reasons to be skeptical.

bchadhill.bsky.social•98 days ago

The mainstream media did a lot of very questionable and problematic things during the last election, but I think I have to agree with you on this. Our system places more faith in the wisdom of the drooling marginal everyman than is warranted; the media cannot fix abject stupidity.

lisap69.bsky.social•98 days ago

Not on Fox. Viewers are given arguing points. Viewers expect it. In law, an unchallenged statement would be conceded. The media can’t have it both ways—unchallenged statements that the audience must decide but not telling the audience that the veracity is on them to decide. It’s not implicit.

masonvettericks.bsky.social•98 days ago

I thought it was clear I was talking about actual regular media and not the rightwing propaganda complex but agreed.

sophiesophia.bsky.social•98 days ago

All with the media’s blessing. We’re about to see a massive change in this country and not for the better. How sicking.
