EXACTLY what I was thinking, Mr. P. It should tell us a lot about where Trump & the conservatives (not necessarily the same thing!) see things headed. AND about which side really has more leverage. I see it as a marriage of convenience: NeoCons need Trump's voters, and he needs their MONEY.

'Tis us - or half of us, at any rate. Becky sees the 300-character limit as too constraining (she's usually just getting warmed up at that point!) - so, sadly, her "life in Willis, TX" rants probably won't resume. On the other hand, I enjoy the challenge of cramming more nonsense in a limited space!

It's 53 years since the infamous Powell Memorandum was penned; 42 years since the Federalist Society came into being. In that period of time, conservatives have organized alliances with Big Business, Big Money & Big Religion to all but destroy the New Deal, women's & civil rights AND our government.

True - just because they're on the same team, doesn't mean Trump won't point the cannon at them if they piss him off. Although I suspect 'Big Money' plans to put TFG out to pasture, just as soon as this election thing's over. They just need his MAGA votes to get them across the finish line.

Sadly, I feel we've become victims of our own complacency. Once every few years, SOME of us show up & vote (others just can't be bothered). Then we assume that our job's done. It's NOT. It's our responsibility to ensure the people we elected are actually doing the jobs we elected them to DO. OUR JOB

MAGA might as well invite Trump over to 'play doctor' with its own 12-year-old daughters. They don't seem to have any problem with him doing it to someone ELSE'S.

Every day sees an incremental assault on our remaining rights and liberties. The other side literally never stops probing for weaknesses they can exploit, to further fence us in. The question becomes, what happens when they've taken everything there is to take? When we're of no further use to them?

It might be even simpler: most MSM outlets are Big Money-owned. Trump's literally on the SAME TEAM. Sure, he's a deranged, roaring ***hole, and they all know it - but by God, he's THEIR deranged, roaring ***hole.

A little translation here: substitute "replacing Biden (at this stage)" with "conceding the election to conservatives," and you get a better grasp of the situation. Dimon's a charter member of the Billionaire White Boys' Club, and would love nothing more than to hand this country over to his homies.

Apparently, writing for the NYT also involves never bothering to ask yourself why the PREVIOUS 44 Presidents were never troubled by 'ceaseless rounds of partisan prosecutions...' Beautiful analogy BTW!

IMHO - if Ukraine does end up at the negotiating table, it will be because the US and NATO forced it to. And then we'll all act so surprised when, in a year or two, Putin makes ANOTHER land grab.

I wonder if we're all so jaded that there ARE no 'scandals of the century' any more. I've been hearing nothing but a constant barrage of "Oh, Trump's really stepped in it THIS time!" since 2016 - and the mother****er always seems to dodge the consequences of his own shitty behaviour...

Trump's handlers at the Federalist Society have created Project 2025 in order to complete America's transition to a white/christian/male supremacist ethnostate. The recent SCOTUS decisions have, by design, only made this easier.

I'd say this is on America and Europe. We deliberately forced the man to come begging for the resources Ukraine needed to keep an enemy six times its size at bay. I think he and his administration have worked miracles with the aid they've gotten. But go ahead - blame HIM instead of Trump & Johnson.

Mississippi is the poorest state in the US.
Even though the state gets federal welfare funds, it is difficult to get welfare.
The money was all getting stolen, and they got away with it.
Now the journalists who exposed the story are facing a lawsuit and jail.

The number of Google searches for Project 2025 skyrocketed after Taraji P. Henson mentioned it during her BET Awards appearance and encouraged the audience watching to Google it. That single black woman did more for liberal causes than all the current DNC leaders and the candidates themselves.
