Summary
The Senate confirmed Russell Vought as White House budget director in a 53-47 party-line vote despite Democratic opposition.
Vought, a key author of Project 2025, advocates aggressive budget cuts and expanding executive power.
Democrats warned he will slash programs like Medicare, Social Security, and veterans’ benefits while promoting Trump’s policy agenda.
Republicans praised his confirmation, with Speaker Mike Johnson stating he will help dismantle the regulatory state.
I’m starting to wonder if this is all a conspiracy along the lines of some major geological event is going to happen, most of the middle and lower class will die or go through extreme upheaval, and there’s a power grab now so that those in power now already have the institutions and resources set up to keep power in that scenario.
Something like global warming/apophis asteroid just completely resetting our game board.
This ties in with the anti LGBTQ+ movement to try and force an increase in population as much as possible so that there can be a larger numbers of foot soldiers for a resource grab.
It’s all very tin foil hat, but it feels more reasonable than it should considering everything else that’s been happening recently.
If the above is a thing, Europe should think about offering intelligent US citizens even nicer visa packages to take advantage of the trump hate.
Leopards are going to be very busy for the next 4 years.
Same name as the mega-corp in The Boys. Can’t go wrong, right?
Fuck this unamerican chode with a pineapple.
Pineapple is too kind, cactus is a much better fit for his large gaping ass and will be extremely painful.
Pineapples are acidic and eat tissue.
unfortunately, I don’t have ready access to appropriately sized cacti here.
Damnit, where’s Paige when you need her.
Republicans celebrated the confirmation vote, with House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., saying on X that with Vought’s help, “we’ll restore fiscal sanity to our budgets and dismantle the
regulatorystate.”Fixed that for him.
bye bye trans healthcare via medicaid
A billion dollars was spent trying to stop this.
What I find funny (not “haha” funny) is that when he gets what he wants all of these people will be out of a job and stripped of their power regardless of party affiliation. They don’t seem like the type that like to share power.

If their Voters weren’t Idiots this would backfire IMMENSELY! Fortunately whatever happens is BIDENS FAULT!
So, lots of cuts?
