Politics Project 2025/Agenda 47/Behind the Curtain: Trump allies pre-screen loyalists for unprecedented power

[PCmor7]

Is this strawman maybe around 6-2, dumpy, probably 250 pounds or so, orange in color, wearing a toupee with a bad combover?

 

[crandc]

Yes, very im-press-ive. I hope they get all the wrinkles out before the election. If they don't I'll probably get all steamed up.

Wash that orange stain out.

 

[e_blazer]

Sure. Now tell us the one about how the Federalist Society had nothing to do with Trump's picks for the court!

Actually, I’m not sure that jonnyboy doesn’t have a point. Trump doesn’t give a rip about policy. He’d do or say whatever was necessary to get elected. As far as Project 2025 goes, Trump is just the useful idiot they hope to use in order to gain power so they can implement their crazy agenda.

Yep. Exactly the same as abortion, which he certainly never gave a shit about until becoming a useful idiot on that front.

Do you need a reason when someone says something clearly racist AND has a history of racism and supports people who are racist and/or bigoted?

It's called losing the benefit of the doubt. You don't just get to have it every time by default.

Cry some more…..

waaahh his political opinions differ from me. He must be a racist waaaahhhhh

you are right. So many have lost the benefit of the doubt. Clearly exibiting over and over the inability to separate fact from opinion and truth from projection.

Over half the responses i get in this forum are dumb memes like this, or cringe one liners.

Lol, the ironing is delicious

You can edit posts you know.

Not surprised you wouldn't get it.

 

[jonnyboy]

Ever consider why?

Because once the corporate media talking points are exhausted, most here are left standing naked with no opinions of their own and must resort to memes and zingers to avoid pursuing the topic any further.

 

[jonnyboy]

The joke was just that good eh?

I feel like main archetype of this forum is dudes who wear these type of shirts.

And yet here you are. You don't seem to be a Blazers fan. You tried to get banned, and yet you can't quit us.

I think the important thing is that you don't take it as a rejection of you personally.

Taking benign, boring political statements like “Taking back Washington” and trying to spin it into something sinister is a special kind of manipulation most adults don’t fall for. It is bottom of the barrel scare tactics. HOW do people take things like this seriously?

You mean, benign statements like this one: "we are in the process of the second American Revolution, which will remain bloodless if the left allows it to be.”

Exactly--in their mind, any violence will be the left's fault. Remember, this is also the same group that blames Ukraine for the perpetuation of hostilities with Russia. Same thought process: "Let us (Russia) have what we (they) believe we (they) deserve, and no harm will come to anyone."

Fuck everything about that.

No i meant benign statements like the the one I literally fucking quoted that you’ve chosen to disregard for something that is more sensational sounding. Not sure where you got that quote, but seeing as you’re a member of this truth-seeking community, i would venture to guess it was made by some random dipshit, is unrelated to Trump, and you are somehow trying to loosely tie it back to him to further you guys’ “end of the world/democracy” narrative

Am i close?

You used the qualifier “like” when referring to your quote. I posted a quote by the same guy. It’s not benign. At the very least it’s inflammatory. After January 6th, MAGA folk don’t deserve any leeway.

The benign statement you quoted is the euphemistic replacement for the original subtitle--"Burning Down Washington"--for the book written by the same person who made the more inflammatory statement eBlazer referenced. And it would be disingenuous (or at the very least, ignorant) to call him "unrelated to Trump", when Trump's running-mate wrote the foreword to his political manifesto.

And if the left has let Trump stay in office after 2020 January 6 would not have happened.

 

[jonnyboy]

Either that or, you know, the end of life on planet earth as we know it. Something in the ballpark of those two things.

Maybe make your mind up before trying to scare the shit out of people?

Another thing that got removed of its context and launched into the stratosphere of hysteria.

Your chain of events isn’t convincing, sorry. It was a boring political quote and you are pulling out of context to reinforce an extremely weak premise. It’s not sinister, it’s not scary, it’s not ominous and it’s not anything Trump said or condoned. You sound ridiculous.

Launched into the stratosphere? What’s your threshold on cops killed trying to defend the Capitol? I can only imagine how MAGA would have reacted if a bunch of Lefties had made a political commentary in the same way.

 

[jonnyboy]

THIS. DID. NOT. HAPPEN.

Jesus Christ, are you actually still basing your opinions off of this debunked bullshit this many years later????

No cops were killed on January 6th by protesters or otherwise. It was a lie like everything else the left has tried to threaten us all with. Get your fucking facts straight before you continue to bloviate about January 6. This is why nobody takes the left’s constant fear mongering and ominous warnings seriously. You guys are so full of shit, on nearly every topic.

You're the one who should get your facts straight. USCP Officer Brian Sicknick “passed away due to injuries sustained while on-duty.” Yes, he died of strokes after the event, but the Medical Examiner told the Washington Post that while Sicknick died of natural causes, “all that transpired played a role in his condition.”

And, BTW, stop assuming that I'm a lefty. I voted Republican every presidential election up until Trump ran. I left the GOP when that nitwit got the nomination. Talk about a RINO. Trump has no political allegiance except to his own self-interests.

EDIT: And you totally ignored the second part of my post. What do you suppose the right would have done if leftists had done the exact same thing as the right did on Jan. 6th? We don't have to imagine too hard. Fox still makes political hay with the riots in Portland and the occupation of the courthouse.
