Project 2025 is terrifying. The people behind it are also weird. Meet John McEntee, who ran personnel for Trump's White House.
He also runs a shady "dating" app for lonely MAGA men.
The marketing for the app is more pathetic than you're imagining.

Flew Spirit for the first time. Now THIS is travel. The seats? Plastic. The passengers? Stinky. The staff? Rude as hell. $49 and I did not get stuck in Baltimore (cc: AMERICAN). There is no qualitative difference between airlines unless you are flying business. Put me on the MTA of the skies.

"Everyone already knows Trump is a liar. There's no need to 'prove' it.
"Biden can simply assert that Trump's statement is a lie, and move onto what really matters:
"Why he's lying and how it hurts the country."

I would be less NIMBY if Ohio wasn't ransacked by non-local developers who squeeze towns for abatements in exchange for Ryan Homes, low-paying warehouses, and gravel mines.
Would genuinely like someone to tell me what to think on this topic outside of San Fran and NYC.

Revisiting this, I wish Murthy hadn't issued A Bad Opinion like, days before he issued A Good Opinion (the gun one) and then also had a groundbreaking SCOTUS victory. Does not help the brand. This is a similar review to what my friends say about me.

I genuinely do not understand how people don't think Biden is...like...decent+ on student loans? Anyone I know with loans is paying less--often hundreds of dollars less--monthly. I have $20k slated to be forgiven soon. A friend was just forgiven >$100k. Like how do we fix this perception sitch?

The thing is, the public does not want Schedule F. Almost 9 in 10 Democrats *and* Republicans support a nonpartisan civil service. They trust civil servants much more than they trust politicians. And they are right, because the civil servants provide more stability, responsiveness and competence.
