#secretly — Public Fediverse posts

Live and recent posts from across the Fediverse tagged #secretly, aggregated by home.social.

  1. Russel Vought said his group, the "Center for Renewing America", was #secretly #drafting hundreds of executive orders, regulations, and memos that would lay the groundwork for rapid action on Trump’s plans if he wins,
    describing his work as creating “#shadow#agencies.

    He claimed that #Trump has “#blessed” his organization and “he’s very supportive of what we do.”

    “Eighty percent of my time is working on the plans of what’s necessary to take control of these bureaucracies,” Vought said.
    “And we are working doggedly on that, whether it’s♦️ destroying their agencies’ notion of independence ♦️… whether that is 🔥thinking through how the deportation would work🔥.”

    In discussing Trump’s plan to carry out the largest #deportation in US history
    – which the former president has called for publicly 
    – Vought said the ⚠️expulsion of millions of undocumented immigrants could help “save the country.”
    Once deportations begin, “you’re really going to be winning a debate along the way about what that looks like,” Vought said.
    “And so that’s going to cause us to 👉get us off of multiculturalism, just to be able to sustain and defend the deportation, right?”

    The video is the latest example of secret recordings exposing political figures’ private comments. The tactics used by the Centre – which created fake websites and a fake LinkedIn profile to deceive Vought – are typically rejected by mainstream American news outlets.
    But using hidden cameras and deceptive practices in reporting is more common in the UK, where the Centre is based,
    and it’s been on the rise on the fringe of the US media as well. The conservative group Project Veritas has long conducted sting operations and published selectively edited videos, and earlier this year, a liberal activist released audio recordings of conversations she had with Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito and his wife, as well as Chief Justice John Roberts.

  2. Trump: Neither unique nor irreplaceable - #GwynneDyer
    "what if Saturday’s bullet had hit #Trump abt 2 fingers’ width to the right & blown his brains out? Half the #US #population wld be enraged & the other half wld be #secretly relieved, but how much wld really be changed?🫨 The #Republican Party wld still be much farther to the right than it was 10 years ago, & it’s sheer #nonsense to believe tt Trump was the sole cause for that slide into #crude #nationalism & #populism"
