The Buckets by Greg Cravens for July 11, 2024

For Toby, those are deep thoughts

Wise lad.

We felt that way in the 1960’s. What good is “staying on the straight and narrow”, if the people in charge are sending us “to hell in a handbasket”? (Wow, I dated myself BIG TIME!)

Not displaced at all.

He’s on to something.

Worry about both, Toby…

He’s making some sense today.

Enjoy your youth while you can, the future will come soon enough.

If you aren’t scared of what what someone else will do to mess up your future, you need to pay better attention to what is actually happening.

Trump has stated that he has no knowledge of Project 2025. This could actually be true, since he has no knowledge of a vast number of things that are staring him in the face. But, he is the front man puppet of a whole lot of people who are very familiar with it. And as long as they tell him he is wonderful he will keep right on “draining the swamp”, which is code for removing anyone in government who is not devoted to Trump and his handlers and replacing then with those who are.

Some of the former top Trump insiders — Trump’s closest and Trumpiest advisors — who participated in drafting the 922-page proposal known as Project 2025 and their role in the Trump administration (very incomplete partial list):

Steven Miller — top policy advisor

Peter Navarro — Deputy Assistant to the President

Russ Vought — Director of Office of Management and Budget (now head of Heritage Foundation)

Rick Dearborn — Deputy Chief of Staff to the President

Ken Kuccinelli — Deputy Secretary of Homeland Security

Paul Dans — Chief of Staff at Office of Personnel Management

Brendan Carr — FCC Commissioner

Ben Carson — HUD Secretary… and many, many more.

The entire proposal has been designed by top Trump insiders. Any attempt to distance himself is prevarication on steroids, even by Trump standards.

A legitimate concern…..

Everything that was needed to mess up your future has already been done, boy. Now the question is indeed what you can do to avoid the consequences and pass them on to the next generation.

that’s the exact same way i feel about driving… ☺

I thought he was going to say he was worried he got his Dad’s nose.

They are messing it up right now!!

Toby speaks truth.
