President Donald Trump - J.D. Vance Administration

[ButchPlz]

Yep the US started doing just that...
Ended USAID

USAID was part of the problem.

I would prefer it to go toward paying off the deficit.

I don't disagree, but people have no idea how badly we're in debt. Say we could magically freeze our debt from getting worse...USAID's annual budget applied to our debt would pay it off in a mere 900 years.

Again, I'm not defending any bloated agency, just pointing out the near hopeless state were in. It is shockingly bad and the only thing the two parties agree on is "hey let's make it worse"

Worst cases? Oh you mean health care for seniors, food for infants and equality of all ethnicities. And don't leave out education.

I was specifically referring to the worst cases of which illegal aliens to spotlight such as the esteemed Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia (Senator van Hollen‘s margarita buddy).

Nearly every month under Biden, job numbers had to be revised.

Can you point me to any of your posts regarding that?

I wonder if this ridiculousness has anything to do with the global reporting of tRump's undeniable cognitive decline?

heh

Trump orders inquiry into Biden’s actions as president over ‘cognitive decline’ reports

Investigation will fuel GOP campaign to discredit ex-president and undo pardons and orders issued at end of his term

www.theguardian.com

The left wing projection on this topic has been insanely hilarious.

Lol, you didn't actually read it, did you?

So you need to identify which EOs are personally significant for you, and how you will help implement those EOs.

I really hope someone compiles all of these into a monument of sycophancy.

Are these not employees of the executive branch?

I don’t see the problem

Put some soy sauce on that taco and he would have been sinking his fangs in it much quicker.

You don't vote for people who will pay off the debt tho.

What pols want to pay off the debt? Where are they?

They're the ones the Trump wants to kick out of congress

 

[Sea Ray]

They're the ones the Trump wants to kick out of congress

All 2 of them?

 

[utvolpj]

All 2 of them?

Pretty sad huh? Many others have been run out in the past several years

The gop as a whole does not care at all about the debt when they're in control. They only use it when in the minority

There are precious few fiscal conservatives in Congress but at least the GOP has a few. The Dems have none. In fact it's worse than that. They scream the loudest everytime a cut is proposed. Be it Medicaid, DOGE, DEI, Green energy or whatever. It's the Dems claiming that civilization as we know it is about to end

Here's a question: We know why certain Republicans like Rand Paul are against this bill. Zero Democrats are for it. Why? What changes do they need in order to support it?

Who are the fiscal conservatives? The most extreme fiscal conservative besides Massie wants to take the insane position of rolling back spending to pre-covid levels. That's the modern day extreme fiscal conservative? They're dems with a different color tie

Let me know when the gop acts any different with defense spending than the Dems you posted about. The only cuts politicians want is to the other guy's projects so they can spend the money

Typical of most liberal news rags, the title of that story, "New federal employees must now write essays praising Trump's policies", is a lie. Reading through the list of essay questions, not a single one of them requires applicants to praise Trump's policies. They ask applicants to explain how they would support and advance the administration's policy priorities if hired for the position.

Imagine that! The Trump administration has the nerve to institute hiring policies to try to weed out backstabbing liberals that would do nothing but attempt to undermine the administration's goals.

From the Article:

The essay questions are as follows:

1. How has your commitment to the Constitution and the founding principles of the United States inspired you to pursue this role within the Federal government? Provide a concrete example from professional, academic, or personal experience.

2. In this role, how would you use your skills and experience to improve government efficiency and effectiveness? Provide specific examples where you improved processes, reduced costs, or improved outcomes.

3. How would you help advance the President's Executive Orders and policy priorities in this role? Identify one or two relevant Executive Orders or policy initiatives that are significant to you, and explain how you would help implement them if hired.

4. How has a strong work ethic contributed to your professional, academic or personal achievements? Provide one or two specific examples, and explain how those qualities would enable you to serve effectively in this position.

The plan, as outlined in the memo, would also decrease hiring time for new candidates to under 80 days; implement a skills-based hiring approach that would reduce the need for "unnecessary degree requirements"; and end the use of diversity, equity and inclusion programs in hiring and recruitment, which the memo described as "racial discrimination."

Only in the gov't do they expect to go through a hiring process without answering the "How will you be a benefit to the company and further our objectives?" question in some form or another.

Off the top of my head there's Massie, Davidson, Paul, Ron Johnson...Probably a few more. The GOP will likely put up enough resistance that this bill will be pared down somewhat. What pressure is there from Dems to pare this down?

That person wasn’t on the ballot.

No one could answer 1 and 3 truthfully and get the job. It's impossible

I mentioned all the house members already. They don't want real cuts they simply want to return to not quite as massive spending but still have very large deficits and expands defense spending. Adding $4-5T to the debt is not a serious plan

Why do you continue to pretend this is a team sport when all are essentially wearing the same jersey. Almost no one wants real cuts and the ones that do are an enemy to the current admin. That should tell you something but it seems to not matter

 

[n_huffhines]

That person wasn’t on the ballot.

Because you all keep nominating and voting for people who don't care about deficits and your reps never have to change. It's called "enabler"

All the time we got people here talking about the deficit when they voted for Trump. You don't care about the deficit. You wanna deport Moms, you don't want fiscal responsibility.

Take ownership of your vote. Aren't you from the party of accountability?

 

[n_huffhines]

I care a lot about the deficit I just never vote for anybody who is about lowering the deficit. The deficit is a great card to play when IDC about a government program. - half of VN

I want to deport moms and fiscal responsibility. The person that wants fiscal responsibility doesn’t exist, imo.

because you wouldn't vote for them. you would rather vote party line for a "winner".

overtime the longer you accept, by voting for them, bad actions from the GOP they are going to get further and further away from what you want. the only way to fix it is to stop voting for them until they give you someone you actually support. it also means going out and supporting that small guy. its worth it in the long run, because you would avoid the mess we are in now.

but no, all of you snowflakes would rather vote for a winner and get the instant gratification of backing a winner like Mitch McConnell rather than stand by someone who you would actually like to represent you.

 

[SpaceCoastVol]

If anyone doubts how dumbed downed this country is right now, they need to look no further than this forum for documented proof

What are all the cool kids saying now... "That isn't the flex you think it is"? (And that is aimed at those that gave you the like because I actually believe you know that particular razor cuts both ways)

The person (Oliver Chase) was on the ballot, BTW. But he wasn't promising to deport Moms
