Transition officials have used Project 2025's extensive personnel database for potential candidates to hire for the incoming administration, a person familiar the plans said.

Summary

Despite disavowing Project 2025 during the campaign, Trump’s transition team is now using its extensive database of vetted conservative candidates to help fill over 4,000 government positions.

Project 2025, criticized for its extreme policy proposals and links to Trump’s first administration, created a “conservative LinkedIn” of 10,000 candidates.

While some contributors are being tapped for key roles, others face rejection due to controversial stances.

Democrats, who used Project 2025 in campaign attacks, are warning of its influence on Trump’s agenda and planning policy responses.

    Hope everyone is ready to suffer.

    I’d say blame it on conservatives. But you can also blame it on the absolute idiots that voted 3rd party, were single issue voters, or abstained from voting. They’re just as much to blame and just as stupid as Trump supporters.

        “Genocide Joe” passed more meaningful legislation for average Americans then most presidents. But the conservative propaganda machine won and made him seem like the devil incarnate because stupid Americans can’t discern fact from fiction.

    Project 2025 is and has always been a right wing conservative wishlist the GOP has maintained since forever.

    The idea the conservatives were ever disavowing conservatism was laughably stupid.

    They never came up with any other plan, so they’re just going with what they’ve got. They haven’t been able to govern for more than a decade. They’re so fractured and have done nothing more than shit talk and blame, so no nobody is willing to try to get republicans to form a group capable of planning anything other than who to point fingers at.

      They never came up with any other plan

      The guy said he had concepts of plans in a debate designed as a platform for candidates to let America know what their plans are.

      And then we elected him anyways.

      Americans are fucking stupid.

      Take politics and politicians out of the equation and you’re still left with stupid fucking Americans. And THAT is why we’re doomed in the long run.

    And why should anyone be surprised?

    1. Rumor of shitty thing republicans are planning

    2. Republicans deny shitty thing is being planned, that was just (insert republican official here) brought up, claim it’s just the official on their own.

    3. Months later republicans are trying to officially enact shitty thing they denied planning.

    When an individual tells you they are crazy, It’s best to trust them on that judgement
