He didn't author it - true. His appointees deflected that they had authored it and refuse to acknowledge current laws if confirmed. Removing IGs and Ethics, while expanding political appointee positions deeper in Departments and removing delegated authorities, combine to expedite implementation.
They knowingly lied to all of us. Their priority was acting as the Trump campaign. We need to get their attention with a mass national boycott and cancellation drive now. Demand objectivity. It needs to happen and it needs high profile sponsors to get it rolling.
I'm surprised the Felon-in-Chief doesn't have whiplash. He changes direction, with wind, so often it's hard to keep track of what the stand of the day is.
Yeah you can play the hits for this dingus on every single aspect and then you can try “Trump 2025 credulous idiot has learned their lesson- Susan Collins”
Hey, @factcheck.org. Got any fucking explanation? He lied, you know. We told you he was lying. You told us we were wrong. You came a hair's breadth from telling us we were being hysterical. How's that crow taste?
Congrats. You helped Trump get elected. This is your fault.
The article has a byline of Uzma Afreen. All of their articles for https://factcheck.org are defending Trump when somebody somewhere said something not entirely accurate. No fact checking of things Trump or his campaign said.
The problem is the media would report that he claimed not to know anything about Project 2025, but was never willing to add the context of Trump's millions of lies. Credibility actually matters.
My disappointment with legacy media knows no bounds. And this is coming from someone who prefers legacy media (newspapers, periodicals, linear TV, etc).
Why won't people admit that the mainstream media is right wing propaganda? It's because denial is the first doctrine the MSM drills into their audience. It enables the rest.
No matter how much evidence piles up against the doctrine, it's so internalized you're considered unserious if you deny it.
hey, look, they asked about it once and the known pathological liar said it wasn't the plan. what did you want, some actual reporting or something? that's boring and doesn't get clicks.
Now, more than ever, the people need relief with some strongly worded letters and pleas to stay positive and turn that frown upside down. Everything will get back to normal is 20-30 years.
To quote an in-joke from one of my favorite franchises: Don't turn that frown upside down, turn it into eldritch power to spite a world that has wronged you.
The obvious limitation of "fact checking" against public statements is that a campaign can say one thing publicly & then completely change once the candidate gets elected. Sometimes there are credibly reported private conversations from within the campaign that make more sense to interpret as fact.
The media spread every half baked story about Biden being senile and murdered his political career but give Trump every benefit of the doubt desire what we see with our own eyes.
They showed us their power with Biden, now they show us their intentions with Trump
The Trump Mob is the biggest crime organization in history. Makes Ocean's Eleven films and whatnot the scale of petty larceny chewing gum theft by a four year old.
California is resourceful enough that they will most likely create a state-level version of FEMA. Perhaps, every state should. Let’s see how the red states do without the national FEMA assistance 🤣
Project 2025 wasn’t taken seriously by mainstream outlets during the campaign. They literally told us what they were going to do. How is anyone surprised by this?

It does seem to be getting better. I know I'm doing it most, if not all of the time now. For those who haven't started, once you get into the habit, it goes pretty quickly. Copying the text is available in most major picture apps, which saves a lot of time.
See. If the Democrats had said they were going to do something they wouldn't actually do it. It's just for votes. So obviously Trump, invincible id monster that he is, will not try to do every thought that enters his head.
Sure, in the before times, pretending he’s halfway sane, despite all evidence, was quite profitable. We had naive hope in our neighbors to see what’s is in front of them, then.
Ending all aid has long been an obvious goal, of course, when you weren’t choosing to stare hard in the other direction.
NYT you have lost all credibility so even if you occasionally post something factual, we know you’ll find a way to fuck it up at this point. You are no longer news that’s fit to print.
Next time something happens down in the Southeast US.
"Trump restarts FEMA and blames the Democrats for killing the much needed FEMA agency and the people who need it".
I am not moving on from this. I will never move on from the idea that Trump is using disaster relief like a fucking corrupt monarch bestowing favors to his friends and enriching his cronies.
As I've been saying - red States will become uninhabitable. Insurance companies are already leaving and without FEMA -red States are one catastrophe away from collapse.
They’ll still pay them. Just not through fema. It’ll be trump tossing paper towel rolls of money to republican electeds. The way to understand all of this (waves hand) isn’t that they will cut costs- it’s cutting impediments to corruption. Graft all the way down
He can’t end FEMA without Congress and we have to believe that people who want to get re-elected won’t end it if they want to stay in Congress. But we’ll see.
trump was gungho for the plan when it first became known, but verbally back tracked when he found out people were not happy with it--now he's all for it again and implementing it..not good for the country or the people
So, I’m curious why we keep having these what he said vs. what he’s doing debates. We know now that there is no correlation between those two things. He’s a well establish black belt, 5th den liar. Are we still trying to litigate that?

i'm starting to think this Trump fellow might not be entirely trustworthy!
Echoing Susan Collins, I’m concerned.
Congrats. You helped Trump get elected. This is your fault.
Hope you got paid well.
Twice is coincidence
Three times is enemy action
So… what is the millionth time called?

I do believe Trump didn't actually read project 2025 though. He's too illiterate to read 900 pages without pictures.
My disappointment with legacy media knows no bounds. And this is coming from someone who prefers legacy media (newspapers, periodicals, linear TV, etc).
The media went so far to normalize and I'd even say protect Trump.
No matter how much evidence piles up against the doctrine, it's so internalized you're considered unserious if you deny it.
Always down for more balloon juice on my feed.
Dear god no one could have seen this coming. Not a single person. I am shocked.
My fucking cat has more intelligence than some of these people and she thinks the curtain rod string is her arch nemesis
“B-b-but, he SAID…”

It's not a project, it's on par with stuff from Marx and the Unabomber.
They showed us their power with Biden, now they show us their intentions with Trump
depending on who was paid.
and by who
No *true* fact checker would believe the facts
If Trump were a criminal in L.A. Noire he'd be the fucking tutorial case.
Have they updated it yet?

Well yeah, they should have. And they should have known that you never report a liar's words. Just their actions.

Way to FUK over the USA you Maga DIPSHITS!
YOUR FREEDOM IS GOING AWAY FAST!
GO BUY THE EGGS THAT TRUMP RAISED THE PRICE ON YOU FOOLS!
We're here because of our "serious journalists" and their condescending white-washing of Trump and the "conservative" party.
(Yes, it was obvious).
sh!ts and giggles.
I mean all he has to do is not sign a paper right?
That said, NYT has got some fuckin' 'splaining to do.
Suckers.
