Step 1) position yourself as a prolific political pollster Step 2) treat your own opinions and beliefs as objective data and "playing out scenarios" Step 3) with that, tell the public what they want instead of asking them Happens with 338canada up here in Canada too: same grift, different country.

If you're worried about brevity in your writing, don't. It took Project 2025 nine hundred pages to say fourteen words.

As always, I beg of all of you to read posts made to Trump's account as campaign communications and not individual rantings. This is the campaign telling the Project 2025 assholes not to screw up Trump's chances of winning.

There was an even bigger difference in the comments received. All on Threads and all but one here were positive, constructive, or neutral (one person was just being a jerk, not a troll). Only 18% on X were positive or neutral. The rest were negative, many highly so.

GOP: "We will slaughter the perverts and invaders live on TV. Their rainbow crosswalks will be painted crimson. Their ghettos reduced to rubble. Your lord and eternal emperor will protect and preserve you by purging the unclean - the impure which infest us." DEMS: "vote hard 🥺 "

"our pronouncements are not always matched by a capacity to act or by actions that clearly demonstrate that we mean what we say" The most concise summary of this government and its vacuous leader ever penned to paper.

I love dems getting angry at the left refusing to vote for Biden over genocide as if it's some minor policy dispute. "Sorry he's not PERFECT enough for you." Comrade, I'm not asking for him to be perfect. I'm asking for him to stop murdering tens of thousands of children. Seems like a small ask.

Because anyone who covers it gets access cut off from both the GOP and the Dems. Both have ex presidents who raped kids via Epstein. Access is more important than anything else to corporate media.

Any outlet that doesn’t cover this story is making a choice to ignore it, and we should be asking why.

I'd love to see a report on the actual amount of special money Alberta receives in subsidies, support, oil tax breaks, pipelines, and oil revenue being excluded from equalization payments. It's too bad alberta gets nothing ever eh?

Never stops making me mad every time I see it: if we had begun the process of eliminating fossil fuels in the 1990s, it would've been a relatively shallow curve. Climate deniers and delayers have put us in a position where the same temp limits require a cliff-like drop in emissions.

The path to authoritarianism is littered with discarded enablers. They're all right there, where everyone can see them! And the next enablers never think that's going to be them.

Mitch McConnell offers an object lesson for all the Republicans who think they can tame this tiger -- even if you do everything in your power to advance Trump's agenda and sabotage two different impeachment trials that would remove him, the Felon Messiah King will still demand your head.
