US 2024 Presidential Election

Right now, I do want to make it clear that this is only one agency within the DoD, not even the DoD as a whole, and definitely not a federal wide thing. However, from tiny acorns, oaks grow.

Pentagon agency pauses celebrations for Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Black History Month and more

The Defense Department intelligence agency has paused observances of Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Pride Month, Holocaust Days of Remembrance and other cultural or historical annual events in response to President Donald Trump’s ban on diversity, equity and inclusion programs in the federal workplace.

A commercial plane collided with a Blackhawk helicopter, likely killing the majority of the 60-70 people last night in DC


Thankfully we have a strong leader in the White House putting out perfect statements like this! #MAGA

Edit: lol we're all gonna die

I can't find where he said that. The foundation that writes it also didn't like how little Trump cared about it in his 1st term. The people that wrote it are conservatives, it's not shocking that a republican president would appoint people that are from conservative circles. Plus, half the things people say are in Project 2025 aren't even in it and this document gets released every election cycle for last 40 years. Thus, I see no reason to be worried about Project 2025.

In case a 30s video is too much for you, it's Trump giving a speech for the Heritage Foundation about the Project 2025 working group and let me quote: "But this is a great group. And they’re going to lay the groundwork and detail plans for exactly what our movement will do and what your movement will do when the American people give us a colossal mandate to save America, and that’s coming. That’s coming."

To quote from your reply to it back then: "Someone saying what the other person (group) wants to hear in politics, I'm super shocked by that! The president also just can't do all these things either. "

The timeline of this federal funding freeze saga is so fucking insane.

...

...and that takes us to today. Have I got that in the right order? What a coms clusterfuck.

Pretty much. WV DHHR had a meeting with the Governor yesterday because the Governor is concerned about whether or not this is going to go through, if it will effect this month's grant disbursement and how do we keep Medicaid running if it does. I suspect someone told him how many of his voters are on Medicaid and how people losing their healthcare shortly after he takes office might not want to reelect him next time. Even Big Jim and Babydog managed to keep Medicaid running.

So that was before the document was even written. It is partly him playing nice with the foundation to get support (I'm sure Kamala/Biden buddy'd up with the liberal equivalent group). He is a republican so there's going to be some common ground of what Trump want to do and what the foundation would like to do. And, again, half of the stuff people said is in Project 2025 isn't in the document.
