I really don’t think most people realize just how hard the boot will come down if Trump and the Republicans win the election. Most people have never experienced the totalitarian surveillance state with the power to reach into their homes and minds at will they are telling us is their plan.

My guess is that Trump knows very little about P25 *and* it will be the blueprint for his administration. He’s famously bored by policy. He’ll appoint these people because they’re loyal. They’ll then go to work on the plan while he grifts, golfs, and gives two-hour speeches at rallies.

Classic Trump playing dumb to accomplish two goals at once. His base simultaneously know Trump’s onboard with 2025, while they call the libs silly for caring about it because Trump totes has no idea about the group staffed by all his allies.

The ramped-up hits on Project 2025 must be landing — Trump just shoved it right in front of the bus

A world where the President can murder their enemies with impunity, direct the DOJ and FBI not to investigate the crimes, and pardon anyone who participates is not a free society www.politico.com/news/2024/07...

If anyone wants to understand why Mexico has such problems with corruption, it's LITERALLY because their Constitution actually PROHIBITS prosecuting presidents, sitting or retired. That has meant Mexican presidents can and thus generally do whatever they want, legal or not.

Just at the most basic level it is really unhealthy to have to thought about Donald Trump as much as everyone in America has over the last nine or so years. Spending a decade of my life thinking about a super boring, super shitty crook and all the bad stuff he's doing or might do. It's embarrassing.

Dems talked up subsidies for rural broadband for years, actually passed it when they had a trifecta, then watched the voters who benefited from it vote overwhelmingly for Republicans in 2022, who then cancelled the program. Then voters blame Dems/Biden for losing their cheap internet.

Yeah, this is incredibly infuriating. He's a former president and a presumptive nominee six months out from the election. It should actually be a major scandal that he doesn't have basic policy issues ironed out. Jesus Christ, stop giving the guy mulligans. He already cheats at golf!

Not having a "comprehensive policy" on reproductive health care six months before a presidential election would, for any other candidate, be a disqualifying characteristic that would make them an absolute laughingstock but once again, the beltway press is all ~ That's Just Donnie, Lol! ~

So, uh 1. It's still up 2. It's very prominent. 3. You're a presidential campaign. Why are you posting unvetted videos? 4. Why is anyone making pro-Reich videos of your candidate? Hmm? 4. Why are your staffers stumbling on those? Again? Hm? Like ... this isn't an accident; it's a campaign culture.

Trump is so sure he won't suffer any consequences that he found time during lunch at his trial to post a fascist video. He thought no one would notice the "Reich" reference, but they did, so he blamed it on a staffer.

Worth noting that a 160-year-old ban is exactly how MAGA plans to ban abortion in all 50 states.

JUST IN: The Arizona Supreme Court has ruled that an old law from the 1860s can stand in the state – outlawing nearly all abortions. The changes are due to take effect in 45 days.

When Hillary Clinton called MAGA supporters “deplorables,” it was in the news forever. We still talk about it today. But when Trump called his political enemies “vermin”—actually invoking the words of Adolf Hitler—the press just moves on like it’s nothing. They are failing us.

If Trump becomes president again and acts on his plans to jail journalists who say anything negative about him—which includes factual reporting that makes him look bad—we can take solace in knowing that newspaper headlines will describe it with something like “President Pushes Back Against Critics.”

I am running for President and my agenda is that the following phrases will be banned: living rent-free in your head, nothing burger, and thank you for coming to my TED talk.
