Saturda’s Wandering Political Thoughts

His name is Russell Vought.

A Project 2025 leader, he is Donald J. Trump’s choice to head the Office of Management and Budget.

He is a Christian Nationalist.

“We want the bureaucrats to be traumatically affected,” Vought said in a video revealed by ProPublica and the research group Documented in October. “When they wake up in the morning, we want them to not want to go to work, because they are increasingly viewed as the villains. We want their funding to be shut down … We want to put them in trauma.”

Well, it’s just like Jesus said, right? “Love thy neighbor.”

Well, no, Russell Vought isn’t Christian enough to do that. Love thy neighbor? Not if they’re a bureaucrat.

“Do unto others.”

Oh, no, no, no, he doesn’t want this done onto him. He’s a Christian. He wants to be in charge.

“Love your enemies.”

Oh, hell no. Love your enemies? Who can love a bureaucrat? Russell Vought doesn’t even want to think of them as human.

Come on, man, these are ‘bureaucrats’. Bureaucrats are not to be considered in regard to all the good they’ve done to help the nation and the world. The work they’ve done on the government’s behalf for the nation’s ranchers and farmers, military members, Congressional members and staff, the medical and healthcare services…the list is endless. None of that matters. What they’ve done as part of the USAID to help the poor through charity…doesn’t matter.

The work done as part of FEMA to help people recover from hurricanes, wildfires, flooding and other disasters…doesn’t matter.

This ‘Christian’ sees none of that. He views them — Republicans, Democrats, military veterans, fire fighters, scientists, doctors, meteorologists, lawyers, food inspectors, air traffic controllers — in the EPA, NRO, IRS, DOD, USDA, NOAA, NASA, FBI, Secret Service — as ‘villians’.

So, he doesn’t want to just shut down the agencies.

No, he is crueler than that. He wants the human beings who work on our behalf as citizens, our fellow United States citizens, to be more than unemployed.

“We want to put them in trauma.”

Yes, he wants our fellow United States citizens to be put into trauma.

Isn’t that lovely. How very Christian of him, isn’t it? Sure, it’s just as Jesus would do.

This is the person PINO Trusk chose to lead his government.

Who you hang out with…who you trust…says much about your character.

I think we know who should be viewed as the villians.
