The Trump Administration and Cabinet.


H.L. Mencken: “Democracy is the view that the people know what they want, and deserve to get it good and hard.”
 
Wow.



That's pretty fucked up.

I paid a small amount of attention to his campaign for Senate and he seemed very pro 2A.

Would not have guessed that this would have been his position on the tranny agenda.
 
Seems like Trump is afraid/unwilling to touch the banking/finance status quo.
 
Matt Gaetz withdraws.
Did not expect that. Things are going to get weird.

Is it too late for him to get his House seat back? He’s still Representative-elect.

I could get all "conspiracy theorist" and say it was all a plan to get Gaetz out of Congress; but he seems to get along well with Trump, so that's probably not the explanation.

Who's going to replace him in Congress? Aaron Dimmock, who primaried Gaetz (Gaetz 72.6%, Dimmock 27.4%) is considering running. He apparently has ties to former Speaker Kevin McCarthy (a McCarthy-connected PAC spent $3 million to back Dimmock - highlighting Gaetz's misconduct allegations).

The Florida Phoenix is reporting six other Republicans, one Democrat and and one other possibility:
1) Northwest Florida House Republican Rep. Michelle Salzman
2) Northwest Florida House Republican Rep. Dr. Joel Rudman
3) Keith Gross, who primaried Rick Scott in 2024.
4) John Frankman, former U.S. Army Captain and Green Beret, who was forced out of the military for refusing to take the COVID-19 vaccine
5) Kevin Gaffney, a teacher at Rocky Bayou Christian School in Niceville who describes himself as a “Reagan Republican” and a fiscal and social conservative.
6) Bernadette Pittman, owner and CEO of Pittman Marine LCC and owner and CEO of Boots on the Ground Bikers for Trump in Northwest Florida.
7) Florida Chief Financial Officer Jimmy Patronis has hinted he may enter the race
8) And the one Democrat has filed to run is Gay Valimont, gun safety advocate who lost to Gaetz in 2024 by a large margin
 
So, Bessent is definitely on the outs as Treasury pick.

That didn't age well. Any way.......

I'm shocked, shocked I tell you that there isn't a thread devoted to Donnie picking a gay Soros protege for TreasSec. eta: Oh yeah I forgot that it was Soros who bailed Donnie out on a real estate loan when Donnie was in danger of going bankrupt. I guess Giorgi is calling in his favor now. Could it be that Donnie has been working as a Soros puppet this entire time???

Interesting write-up on Bessent - seems he's an enigma of sorts - no one really knows what he's about

eta: RPF is behaving strangely, causing page timeouts and double posts and the like. No other website seems to be affected.

Russ Vought gets OMB.

Fantastic and great pick!


I can see why you would believe that; he fits right in to Trump's Agenda47. I guess the Bill of Rights really is outdated/dead.


Vought graduated from the evangelical Christian Wheaton College and describes himself as a Christian Nationalist.

Vought recommends a sweeping expansion of presidential power should Donald Trump return to office, to include deploying the military for domestic law enforcement.

In October 2024, ProPublica reported that Vought's proposals include plans to reshape government by using military force against protesters if deemed necessary.


Vought can kiss my @ss.

Eat, drink and be merry, for tomorrow we die.

But at least we’ll have the “fun” of being stopped, frisked, strip searched, beaten, tazed, kidnapped and thrown into rape cages first! Good times!
