You can spare us the inevitable "look how progressive these picks for the Trump administration are" thread, PB Deplorables. No one is fooled.

Yup - many women, a gay man for Treasury secretary, etc. All of them loyal Trump lap dogs; they're, of course, not progressive in the least.

Save your typing.

That's just weird he's doing that.

 

[YDB95]

No, it's not weird. It's what Trump has always done: reward those who do the best job of kissing up to him.

Jerry Fucking West? Lol.

He's not a Cabinet pick, he's dead.

Basketball player? MOF winner?

RFK Jr. is pretty far to the left. He’s a Kennedy. Was on Obama’s short list to run the EPA.

He was helpful to the Trump campaign and has reasonable ideas about reforming the revolving door between the regulators and the regulated in the food and pharma industries, but his chances of confirmation are 50/50 at best.

He’s expendable. Voters elected Trump on issues like the economy, immigration, crime, foreign threats, reversing wokeness. Bobby is a nice guy but few Trump supporters will lose sleep if he’s not confirmed.

Never mind. Wrong rory thread. He's on a triggered posting fury.

 

[Chernosoth]

I want to see confirmed nominees with the intelligence to see what needs to be done and the courage to do it, without being trapped in any ideology.

What are your favorite ideas of his regarding this?

It looks like we’re going to have cabinet members committed to delivering on the things Trump campaigned on. Crackdown on illegal immigration, cutting taxes, eliminating regulations that stifle economic growth, cutting the federal bureaucracy, cleaning up the DOJ, neutering wokeness, etc.

Commitment and competence are two different things. Few of his picks so far seem like they would know what they're doing once in office.

No surprise. Held the position in the first term and shares the vision Trump campaigned on.

What is trump's vision?

What is trump's vision?

Project 2025.

 

[BabyBoomer50s]

What is trump's vision?

Key things he campaigned on relevant to OMB include extending the marginal income tax rates due to expire in 2025, further reduction in the corporate tax from 21% to 15%, and some things that have little to no chance of passing such as no tax on tips, SS, and OT, and the SALT cap. Cutting domestic spending.

When did he mention any of those things as part of his vision?

So, exactly the opposite of what the country needs.

Project 2025.

Some overlap between what Trump campaigned on (ex. immigration, taxes) as well as disparities (ex. abortion)

He campaigned on these issues and won. Your opinion is irrelevant.

He did not. I don't have an opinion, just the fact that you're lying about him having a vision.

Is this the kind of shit you have to tell yourself?

Your ignorance never ceases to amaze me. These things were talked about repeatedly and extensively covered in the media. Here’s a sample story from CNN. A simple google search will turn up numerous articles. A lot of this stuff was on his website.

I know you live in darkness, anger and solitude, but I didn’t fully recognize the extent of your disconnection from the world around you.

Trump wants to extend all the individual income and estate tax cuts that the 2017 law provided. This includes, among other things, an increase to the standard deduction, lower marginal income tax rates for most income brackets, and an increase to the estate tax exemption.

Trump has suggested he would get rid of the cap on state and local tax deductions, known as SALT. The TCJA limited the deduction to $10,000, but the controversial cap expires at the end of 2025.

Additionally, Trump has called for lowering the corporate tax rate to 15% for certain companies. The TJCA permanently lowered the top corporate tax rate from 35% to 21%.

The president-elect has rolled out a series of targeted tax breaks, including eliminating federal taxes on tips, Social Security benefits and overtime pay.

You either didn't understand the question, being disingenuous, or drunk again. Most likely a combo of the three.

"Wants to"
"Suggested"
"Called for"

You sleep better knowing he has a "concept" of a health plan.

My ignorance? Lol, sure.
