"RETRUTH IF YOU WANT TELEVISED MILITARY TRIBUNALS" is, to me, a deranged and instantly disqualifying thing for a presidential candidate to say, but on the other hand joe biden looks and sounds very old

In the exact same nine day period that Biden and his White House and campaign have been flailing, Trump has offered voters a window into his own mental state and vision for term 2 It’s not great! www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Biden is not owed good press by a long shot. But the amount of coverage his age is receiving relative to that of Trump's very real past and promised future actions strikes me as one of the greatest media mis-prioritizations since the run-up to the Iraq War.

Professor Glickman nails it. The MAGA GOP is “crying wolf”. It’s a lie, they are spreading false narratives of gloom & doom for America. Trump’s Project 2025 is part of the propaganda, playing the whiny professional victim card. Call them out‼️

This a really important point. Since the New Deal at least conservatism has been premised on the idea that they are losing that it is “five minutes to midnight,” that civilization hangs in the balance, and that emergency politics is justified. I track this history in my book, FREE ENTERPRISE.

It's amazing how confidently the media asserted that Biden's post debate polling was disastrous (including Stephanopoulos having an extended on air argument with Biden about it during yesterday's interview!) with basically zero evidence

Yes. They believe that the United States is on the verge of destruction by the left and Trump is their man on horseback come to restore the nation to its rightful owners. They are giving him the tools he needs to do this job.

Their inability to focus on the stakes of this election is just dumbfounding

An aspiring dictator & convicted felon w history of treason may win the presidency. Profoundly corrupt SCOTUS justices undermined the constitution and gave him immunity from prosecution for past & future crimes. This is all political journalists should be writing about 24/7. We’re at the precipice.

As a side note, this is John McEntee, Trump's Director of White House Personnel and the primary architect of Project 2025. On Tik Tok he said he gives counterfeit bills to homeless people so they will be arrested when they go to spend them.

There are many things that infuriate me about the pundit class right now, but probably one of the top on my list: Project 2025 has posted their plans for every single federal department on their website. They have a training academy for prospective appointees. Where are the hard hitting op-eds?

This is the editorial view of the guy who controls which posts get shown on Vichy Twitter and which get buried. Insane that journalists continue to use it as a source of information and contribute to its legitimacy

This is a good interview but the idea that most president’s have “a vision” for their vice presidents and that it was a fatal sin of the Biden administration not have such a vision for Harris is far-fetched and ahistorical. What was JFK’s “vision” for LBJ? www.nytimes.com/2024/07/05/p...

Trump also said, “I don’t know anything about David Duke” in 2016, and “I know nothing about QAnon,” in 2020. This is his go-to move.

Well @amandamarcotte.bsky.social nailed it Trump just wrote "I know nothing about Project 2025" Of course, he's lying. Key players from his team, like Miller and Vought, are on the Advisory Board. McEntee said they'd "intergrate" their work That's he's trying to create distance is a huge tell

Just like none of the bold investigators backfilling Joe Biden's feeble debate performance with punchy anonymous quotes have ever figured out why Trump was rushed to Walter Reed, claimed he wanted a spur-of-the-moment weekend checkup, and a year later declared that he had NOT had a series of strokes

"Executive Time" fell out of the coverage of Donald Trump in the most incredible way. Nobody writing about his quest to become president again ever mentions the fact that he hated the job when he had it and he couldn't and wouldn't really do it!

There was no GOP party platform in 2020, and Trump wants to shrink the proposed 2024 one. He opposes providing detail on how radical his second term will be because he knows its unpopular. Make no mistake: Project 2025 was written by Trump appointees & loyalists. Its their shared agenda.

even trump’s campaign staff (i assume he didn’t write this) knows that the reactionary, authoritarian agenda that’s project 2025 is going to be unpopular with the average voter.

Project 2025 is stacked from top to bottom as is Heritage with Trump and MAGA guys, including ones put there to be Trump’s own personal enforcers. If he’s feeling inconvenienced occasionally by them, tough shit Fwiw people leading Trump’s campaign including Susie wiles hate dealing with the…

Johnny McEntee, one of Trump's most loyal deputies who is in regular contact with him, is literally one of the people collecting resumes for staffers who would implement Project 2025. Shame on any journalistic outfit who takes this "truth" at face value.

Instead, it gets a complete pass or is treated as a mild eccentricity.

Sean Wilentz is worth reading on the Supreme Court’s Trump immunity decision.

Just like Taney's Dred Scott v. Sanford decision attempted to secure permanent government control by the Slave Power, the Robert's Trump v. US subverts democracy to give permanent government control to MAGA authoritarianism

If Trump knows nothing about Project 2025 he's way more out of it than Biden. (Trump is lying but he is, in fact, way more out of it than Biden, who may be in fact be too out of it to be president).

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

Today in "Trump didn't write this, someone on his campaign staff did." I don't know if Kellyanne Conway is working for Trump these days but this feels more like her style, voice, and syntax than Trump or those posting on his behalf recently.

McEntee for those of you who don’t know is a wildly misogynistic alpha male TikTok influencer who posts on an account called “Date Right Stuff.” He’s also a failed college quarterback who entered politics through via a Fox News job he got from his industry dad and a viral trick shot YouTube video.

There’s no excusing the ways that news media constantly tries to help launder Trumps lies, but after nearly ten years on the scene, we should understand that a lot of voters get that Trump is a notorious liar and that Democrats will be eager to remind them of that every chance they get.

For everyone on here that is worried that voters are as willfully credulous as our news media, the Biden campaign understands that Trumps post about Project 2025 is an admission of vulnerability and they are leaning in harder on tying him to it.
