This is exactly correct. And it’s the fundamental flaw of all Trump coverage. Because Trump took over an existing Party, the press ascribes longstanding legitimacy and fitness to him instead of using his obvious unfitness and illegitimacy to newly reevaluate the Party.

Texas is subsidizing $10 billion worth of new fossil fuel plants, citing new demand caused by climate change and population growth.
But in reality, much of the new demand is coming from supercomputers for AI and crypto.
Guess where the new plants will be placed:

Full quote from ex-ICE director Tom Homan: "Trump comes back in January... I will run the biggest deportation force this country has ever seen. They ain’t seen shit yet. Wait until 2025.” Tonight in Florida Trump pledged to bring Homan back. Homan, BTW, is a listed Project 2025 contributor.

Casting a single vote for the better major candidate has a large positive net expected value for society, and you can very often tell who's a better candidate (especially this year!). Voting is humble, unselfish, and rational—a little chore that you should do. www.liberalcurrents.com/elections-ar...

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.

Trump has no grasp on his own policy ideals, the idea that he is unaware of Project 2025 or it's creators is very laughable, the entire thing was created by his former staffers, I am sure he loves the concepts and would sign whatever these nuts put in from of him though

TBF Trump probably has no idea what Project 2025 is other than some people told him that they will fire anybody who isn't sufficiently loyal to him and that will let him do anything he wants, the rest of his claims are obvious lies though

When you see the way the press is treating Joe Biden for aging in public, you see how they could treat Donald Trump for committing fraud, rape, espionage, and insurrection and never, ever will.

They claim that the misogyny was parody and that eventually they became that parody and that’s why Paul’s Boutique is such a radical departure. I still love the album though. For a deeply uncool Jewish kid it opened up a whole new world for me.

Keeping Trump out of the White House isn’t the only thing that needs doing and it isn’t enough to solve all problems facing the country & world but if it isn’t done then all those problems get exponentially worse in ways I don’t even know how to express and it scares me when people pretend otherwise

I remember being in a meeting of activists during Obama's first term and we were discussing what the most important issues are. I made the case that SCOTUS was the most important because with out it no other things we can do will last. Sadly I was right.

A lot of things that Biden wants to do are things I think are good things we should do. A lot of things Trump wants to do are things I think are bad things we shouldn't do. Therefore I will be supporting Biden even though I don't agree with him on everything. This is not complicated.
