Sorry Chris, that’s an excuse. Your network should be working overtime to get the word out about project 25.

Project 2025 describes NOAA as a “colossal operation that has become one of the main drivers of the climate change alarm industry and, as such, is harmful to future US prosperity”

NOAA is primarily responsible for the National Weather Service

He literally four days ago signed a bill to fight Parkinson's because it's an issue his administration has been working on for awhile, might it be related to that, you weirdos?

Hold your nose and vote D. Votes count and there’s too much at stake. Biden or Harris is a worthy vote to keep out the project 25 imbeciles.

“They want to eliminate national parks” is a very simple way to get just about anyone on the Stop Project 2025 train. Are there much more glaring and life-threatening goals of P25? Yes but even your most bigoted cousin does not want to see the parks system sold for parts.

The discourse around biden needing more sleep is fully insane. Does no one remember "Executive Time," the thing Trump spent the majority(!) of his schedule on where he would just watch TV and tweet?

So two equals “top democrats”? BS Why aren’t you devoting resources to why trump should not be allowed to run. That would take too much effort to be honest.

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

Honestly still in shock that the most crooked American President in history said "I need immunity" and the GOP Supreme Court said "well, it's nowhere in the constitution, but sure, why not? Whats the worst that could happen?"

If you're entirely focused on Biden's debate performance, you're missing the real story. Yesterday's SCOTUS decision *fundamentally* changed the nature of the presidency -- and the nation.

Nobody loves that Joe Biden is 81. It would be great if he was 35. But you know what I really dislike? Authoritarianism. So I humbly beseech people to get a goddamn grip.

The entire point of Bidens speech wasnt that "one president shouldnt have this power but others would be ok" it was that the presidency *shouldnt have this power period* & that it must be rejected. It is antithetical to the very idea of democracy.

The 14th Amendment says if you were involved in an insurrection you can't be president. SCOTUS said they won't allow anyone to enforce that because of reasons they made up. The Constitution doesn't say the president is immune from criminal law. SCOTUS decided he is because of reasons they made up.

What am I trying to say? Stop wringing your hands or praying. Act. Vote your values even if you have to chose "a lesser vessel". The lesser vessel is eminently better than the hell that inaction will unleash come November 2024. Against the threat of fascism, Americans must save themselves.

Oh and the "historical context of our country" is that the Founding Fathers knew from hard personal experience that the mixing of religion and government had caused centuries of war and chaos across Europe, so when they set up a new country here THEY VERY EXPLICITLY DID NOT DO THAT.
