Did Biden ever even really talk about 2025? I'm loving that this is one of the very first places she goes and I hope she just presses hard on it non-fucking stop what's in it
Tell them their porn's going away. Do it in the fucking debate. Do it pussy.
Unfortunately a large number of conservatives support that. Like how Mike Johnson has an app that tells his son whenever he's jacking off.
No ballsmala?
I’m legitimately curious how many people have actually read their document. I just started the other day and I’m about 100 pages in. I’m glad to see people are starting to realize the amount of coordination going on within the far right. Straight up playbook for stacking the cards and consolidating power to the executive branch. Borderline unconstitutional type stuff.
I'm confused.... They did it on cameras on Jan 6th.. why are some Americans still blind to it. Do they know they can listen to the trump tapes!?
They either don't care or ignore it. As long as their side is on top they shrug it off.
I read some but I had to stop after it started talking about the deep state, when that's the whole point of p2025. A right wing deep state. The 180 proof, acidic nature of the irony melted my face and I could no longer see.
Trump put his criminal conspiracy to pay off Stormy Daniels in writing.

And yet multiple people have seen him eating pieces of paper. I'm starting to think he just likes eating paper.
According to one source.

Denied by someone who knows him better. https://www.newsweek.com/trump-not-eating-paper-cohen-omarosa-1070371
But here's some paper related news you might enjoy
Remember when he kept complaining about the low flow toilets in the white house? I think he was tired of all the clogs caused by flushing documents.
So now that Project 2025 is unpopular and Trump is trying to distance himself from it, has anyone else found Trump's lack of campaign promises kind of strange? Leading up to the 2016 election he made a ridiculous amount of promises. Mexico building a wall, bring back coal, lock up Hillary, repeal and replace Obamacare, balanced budget. This time around it's very different. I can't think of any promises he's made. Could it be he doesn't want to mention the promises he failed to delivered on or maybe Project 2025 is exactly what he has in mind?
I’m starting to think that he doesn’t care whether he wins or loses. He has a horde of sycophants following him that he can continue grifting off of from now until the end of his days.
I think he cares more about humiliation than almost anything else, and he sees winning as the only way to avoid not only the humiliation of losing the election but also the humiliation of facing any consequences at all for his many crimes.
I'm sure he cares. If he wins he can make many of his problems go away. On the other hand win or lose he can share his stake in DJT and be a billionaire. Doing so would screw over a lot of people so I doubt he will do that if he wins.
Yep close to 40% of the country will turn out and vote for him. He could be pulling wads of poo out of his diaper and flinging them at the audience during his rallies and this wouldn't change. They're rooting for their team good season or bad.
It doesn't matter. His voters believe that he's the guy that somehow kept all the promises he made.
Reality doesn't really matter.
Can you believe they put that thing in writing?
Absolutely.
Acting openly horrible has been hugely successful with their base. Maybe it’s gone far enough that all the low information voters out there will start seeing how crazy things have gotten. I know the women in my social circle are pissed, and they’re pretty much all white suburban moms. That’s a group that could have a big effect here.

I'm curious. About what specifically? That "MAGA Manifesto" is huge.
I haven’t exactly interrogated them about all the details, but there is a lot of anger about all the stuff specific to women for sure. I think the Roe overturning primed many women (and people in general) to see that this shit is serious and not just the empty political talk they’re used to mostly ignoring. They are worried it will continue to get worse and make their health care more difficult in general, not just for abortions.
Nazis always seem to be stupid enough to leave evidence around of their plans.
Let's go! Kamala's bringing a good energy to the table, I like to see it. I'm cautiously optimistic.
I definitely feel better having a presumptive nominee who actually seems to give a fuck about stopping the fascists instead of this idiocy:
I'll feel as long as I gave it my all and I did the good as job as I know I can do, that's what this is about.
Because holy fuck I was real fucking concerned he was going to sleepwalk us into a fascist government taking over after that shit.
As I said, Trump is totally ignorant of the Streishand Effect here. Which he used to tremendous effect before.
AND of his own strategy of "mention you don't support something, repeatedly, as a sign you low key support it."
Now he's actually trying to say he doesn't support something, and it's like he's totally forgotten his own history.
Everyone knows he lies like most people breath anyways. His only position is whatever gets people to cheer and clap for him so he gets his narcissistic fix, or the last person to talk to him that stroked his ego the right way. The people who will actually to do stuff in his administration definitely want 2025, and that's what matters. I'm only a neighbor of the US but a country that implements 2025 is a scary one to be next to.
"Project 2025 will weaken the middle class."
Project 2025 will destroy the middle class. It is a guide to creating a Judge Dredd universe where the only people living in it will be the Super Rich and Super F*cking Poor. They're not even trying to hide it.
