Members stevenkesslar Posted October 18 Members Posted October 18 Trump considers bucking presidential transition system Quote The Trump transition team has yet to sign two agreements with the federal government to receive transition funding and planning assistance and to share information — a break with modern precedent. Instead, transition co-chairs Linda McMahon, who served as small business administrator in the Trump administration, and investor and GOP mega-donor Howard Lutnick are plowing ahead with their own processes for vetting potential political appointees and preparing policy plans. Quote The decision not to take federal assistance allows them to raise unlimited funds without disclosing their donors, while avoiding oversight from federal bureaucrats, whom Trump and his advisers deeply distrust. Democracy? Who the fuck cares? Good government? Ha ha. It's about the power and money, stupid. This makes all the worries about Project 2025 seem both real, and quaint by comparison. Of course, Deceitful Donald has always been a dutiful whore to the richest and most powerful. He's a perfect mark. An entertainer and clown who fails on his own, and thus is beholden to the two groups who bail him out every time: the rich, and the Russians. Deceitful Donald whored deeply and dutifully on his signature policy achievement during his failed Presidency. He handed out money to the Top 1 %, and now wants to do it again. Federal deficit? Come on! Who the fuck cares! Deceitful Donald whored even more deeply and dutifully to Genocide Man, like all his favorite authoritarian monsters. Of course Putin would not have invaded Ukraine if Trump won in 2020. Why fight and kill Russians and destroy Russia's economy, which Putin is doing thanks to Biden and Harris, when Trump would have handed NATO to him on a platter? The deep whore money always comes from Putin's buddies when Trump needs it most. Trump whores to the genocidal Russian machine even more than he whores to the American rich. Deep whoring and whore money from Russia is what put DJT on the map. in only the most recent example of Trump's willingness to sell America for his own personal and family gain. All of Trump's Russia ties, in seven charts. Quote
