Russell Vought violated the law for Trump before. He'll do it again.

The once and reportedly future head of the Office of Management and Budget is poised to choke off millions of dollars in appointed funds.

This is the guy that will make all of elon & vivek's wet dreams of slicing & dicing & firing thousands all come true.

Forget all your other nightmares.

This Is The Big Bad.

Musk has said in the past he and a few other billionaires want to trash the US economy to force people into crypto. The department Trump wants him to lead is to be called DOGE - and ass you likely know Musk is a big supporter of dogecoin (https://www.forbes.com/sites/digital-assets/2024/11/14/elon-musk-issues-surprise-crypto-endorsement-amid-3-trillion-bitcoin-dogecoin-and-crypto-price-boom/) so that is not a coincidence.

On Gaetz's job application to Hooters:

“As the flagship Hooters of Pompano Beach, we take the responsibility of vetting applicants very seriously,” manager Harland Dorrinson said. “We strongly felt that Matt Gaetz would do irreparable harm to the Hooters brand.”

“Tulsi Gabbard, Donald Trump’s pick to lead the intelligence community, was briefly placed on a Transportation Security Administration list that prompts additional security screening before flights after her overseas travel patterns and foreign connections triggered a government algorithm earlier this year, three sources familiar with the matter told CNN.

@Spagesgallo1 camelcamelcamel tracks all of Amazon's prices. So if something says price drop or black friday deal, you should always go to camelcamelcamel and check what the price has been for the last few years. Often, these sellers raise the price for a month before a prime sales day then drop it to MORE than the normal price and claim it's a deal. Or change products...

I’m surprised Trump didn’t insist on a picture of Joe and Mika, all smiles, when they went to Mar-a-Lago to humiliate themselves. Trump did it to Romney, McCarthy, and RFK Jr., after all.

@codeWhisperer

For my part, that F never stood for "former."

And it still doesn't.

Americans could face a 70 percent hike in their electricity bills by 2030 unless action is taken to boost generation and transmission capacity to satisfy an AI-driven surge in demand from datacenters.
