project 2025... brown shirts and black boots

I did go back and read a few pages after I posted. 🙊

I was surprised to see no one had updated this long running thread.
 
Isn't it telling that Trump is such an extreme pathological liar that no one is even surprised that Project 2025 is the blueprint for implementing Trump's fascistic state?
What ever happened to the Libertarian Republicans?!
 
Trump disclaimed reading P2025 or knowing its contents -- but cannot anybody doubt, now, that it is serving as his playbook?
I don’t believe he read it. He listens to people but isn’t known for being a heavy reader.

There was always plenty of overlap between his agenda because many of the P25 contributors were/are in Trump’s orbit. But his campaign speeches and website were always the best source for divining his intentions.

No surprises on border control, deportation, TCJA extensions, DEI and Woke, deregulation, executive powers, curbing bureaucracy power.

The P25 section on tariffs is conflicting. There’s the Navarro chapter and the Competitive Enterprise Institute chapter which are at complete odds with each other. We’re all still waiting to see where he lands on that.
 
Voters liked the agenda and don’t mind unelected agency bureaucrats being accountable to the elected executive.
Actually, the whole reason why we developed an apolitical civil service system was to reduce patronage and corruption and provide societal stability. With Trump's political loyalty test approach, the civil service sector will change hands every time power shifts from one political party to another.

Under the Constitution, the U.S. Presdent is a temporary chief executive officer, not a fucking king who "rules the world."

The judicial branch decides when there are disputes over executive powers.
 
Your cult leader is defying the judicial branch.

He is doing everything he can to turn America into what he euphemistically calls a "shithole country". And you lap it up like typical cult follower.

How exactly is Trump defying the court?

Be specific.
 
No, whether to have a civil-service system or a patronage system is a political decision, for Congress to make. It does not by itself present a constitutional question.
The US has a political system that is laid out in the Constitution. The civil service has been created by Congress through the political process. Civil servants that are employed under the executive branch are not free to do whatever they want. When there are disputes over executive powers, they are adjudicated in the courts.

OTOH, they are not always bound to do what the president wants. Every agency has its own mission statement, usually found in the legislation creating it, and its own recognized zone of independence from the White House. The DOJ and FBI, for instance, have a mission to police the White House -- because nobody else can. Nixon found that out when he tried to warn them off.

And that ^ response is why BabyBoobs is universally considered a total POS by decent, intelligent, patriotic, individuals.

We. Told. Them. So.

This bears repeating. The president is no "unitary executive," as W's people dishonestly insisted he was.
 
i'm not a fan of these 'pics with a paragraph beneath' articles, but there's quite a lot going on in this one. I'd never heard of project 2025 and it's deeply creepy, with them having been using AI since '22 to identify thousands of people who align ideologically with trump in order to support them and get them into positions of authority to help bypass certain checks and balances/oversight.
Why then don't you read the full 900 pages for yourself?
