Trump Administration Updates

I'm not worried at all about confirmations. A deal was clearly made between Thune and President Trump to allow the senate to go on recess. IMO, I think the dems lost big here as I would think as soon as the Senate comes back, rules will be changed, and all will be confirmed in short order. The President could have kept the Senate in session using article 2 sec 3 of the constitution. He did not. Thune could have made it possible for recess appointments. He did not. Thune could have kept them there for the next several weeks, but he did not. All of this points to a deal made between Trump and Thune to allow the vacation in exchange for swift rule change and confirmation as soon as the senate comes back next month instead of wasting weeks getting a couple through. Also, some big names were confirmed today. Meaning Trump got the people he needed/wanted confirmed and is okay with waiting a couple of weeks for the others.
"In the heart of Washington, D.C., in Judiciary Square, there is a large statue and monument honoring the most important founder of the Ku Klux Klan, Confederate General Albert Pike. Inscribed on the base of the statue are the words, "poet"-the terrorist anthem of the KKK was his most famous literary work-and "jurist"-he was called the KKK's chief judiciary officer, and reputedly wrote the organization manual for the terrorist anti-black movement after the u.S. Civil War"
Coming straight from the maestro himself. Yall know he's playing 5D chess.

RECIPROCAL TARIFFS TAKE EFFECT AT MIDNIGHT TONIGHT! BILLIONS OF DOLLARS, LARGELY FROM COUNTRIES THAT HAVE TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF THE UNITED STATES FOR MANY YEARS, LAUGHING ALL THE WAY, WILL START FLOWING INTO THE USA. THE ONLY THING THAT CAN STOP AMERICA’S GREATNESS WOULD BE A RADICAL LEFT COURT THAT WANTS TO SEE OUR COUNTRY FAIL!

"To answer a question we keep getting. Yes, the Trump administration is hiring January 6 insurrectionists. According to NPR, police bodycam footage shown during Jared Wise’s trial captured him yelling at officers and shouting “kill ’em” as rioters attacked law enforcement at the Capitol. Less than five years later, that same man is now serving as a senior adviser at the Department of Justice. The department calls him a “valued member” of the administration."

Gotta love how this Trump sycophant produces no data to support this "major economic announcement" but I believe him yo! If he did it for Trump, the numbers have to be right....................right?
Pretty sure this could have been spent more wisely on those who will be losing their healthcare.
This demands investigation! Senator Richard Blumenthal (D-CT), the top Democrat on the Senate’s Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, released a Minority staff report today exposing massive waste tied to Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). According to the findings, DOGE has squandered at least $21.7 billion in taxpayer funds between January 20 and July 18, 2025.
DOGE’s costly missteps include:
- $14.8 billion for the so-called “Deferred Resignation Program,” which paid roughly 200,000 federal employees to stay home for up to eight months.
- $6.1 billion spent on more than 100,000 employees who were removed from their roles or placed on extended administrative leave, many still collecting pay while doing no work.
- $263 million in lost interest and fees at the Department of Energy after loan freezes stalled projects critical to affordable energy and grid stability.
- $155 million in lost productivity from forcing nearly a million employees to send weekly “accomplishment” emails to the Office of Personnel Management, consuming millions of work hours.
- $110 million in spoiled food and medical aid sitting in warehouses, with destruction costs to be billed to taxpayers.
- $66 million wasted by assigning highly trained professionals to menial tasks, such as paying over $138,000 for scientists to act as guest greeters in national parks.
- $41.8 million to move more than 250 employees at one agency physically closer to an office.
- $38 million written off from failed science and technology projects at the NIH and IRS.
- $1.7 million burned on unnecessary expense-justification processes at multiple agencies, including defending the need for FAA window cleaning.

So there's all of this talk that I'm your fighter. But behind the scenes, the real story about revenge is he's getting revenge on working class people that he claims he wants to fight for
Did you have any hobbies prior to DJT coming down the elevator?
Trump
Trump scares the hell out of me now. Not a very honest human being. Lied like a cheap rug campaigning this election.
Been voting Republican since 18 when I voted for the greatest President in my lifetime ...Ronald Reagan. Today I feel like our Politicos are out for themselves and not who they work for.
If they continue with their insider trading and cheating those that elected them and for whom they work for, I'd have no problems lining them all up on the Whitehouse front lawn on their knees. If they fail to take an oath to represent their employees(us) as they were elected to do, put a bullet in the back of their heads. It is my belief there wouldn't be more than 3 bullets needed before they resigned with nothing or took the oath. POS.
