The talking in circles, not answering questions and false claims drive me insane. What is wrong with these people? Who do they think they’re fooling? They’re all incompetent, blind Freddy can see that.

Project 2025 is NAZI

The fascists don’t think We the People will notice what they in the Turd Reich are doing. Professor Heather Cox Richardson has. And she makes clear how the movement to change the United States represents an effort to end democracy at home and around the world.





Project 2025 Leader Working to Implement Policies of Putin Ally: Professor

by Flynn Nicholls
Newsweek, July 2024

Kevin Roberts, the president of the Heritage Foundation, is working to implement the policies of Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán to institutionalize Trumpism, an analyst and professor wrote on Thursday.

Snip…

Heather Cox Richardson, a history professor at Boston College, joined the growing chorus of analysts criticizing Roberts' comments and policy proposals as being authoritarian. In Letters From an American, her Substack blog, she discussed Roberts' close affiliation with the regime of Orbán, Hungary's strongman leader and Russian President Vladimir Putin's closest ally in NATO and the European Union.

Snip…

Orbán is a hard-line anti-immigration Euroskeptic who regularly expresses sympathy for Russia. Like Donald Trump's campaign, Orbán has described George Soros, a Hungarian-born Jewish billionaire, as a puppet master controlling the global political left. In 2022, Orbán's party won a decisive fourth consecutive term, running on a platform that Hungary, the EU and NATO should not be involved in the Russia-Ukraine war.

Snip…

The Heritage Foundation has long admired Orbán. In a 2022 interview with Hungarian Conservative, Roberts said, "Modern Hungary is not just a model for conservative statecraft, but the model." In 2023, Roberts brought the Heritage Foundation into formal partnership with the Danube Institute, a conservative think tank funded by Orbán's government.

For those interested: Project 2025 is MAGA for "Mein Kampf," a blueprint for installing fascist and quasi-Christian form of government where Trump is king and We the People are his serfs. The Turd Reich's pols term it a “Second American Revolution” (along with their pals on SCOTUS and Congress). They aim to transform the power in the Constitution from “We the People” to “Me the Donald.” And like once-pee-resident Donald J Trump, they have betrayed the Constitution.



Project 2025 decried as racist. Some contributors have trail of racist writings, activity

They include Richard Hanania, whose pseudonymous writings for white supremacist sites were uncovered last year.


by Will Carless
USA TODAY, July 29, 2024

Excerpt...

“Really, it's kind of a white supremacist manifesto,” said Michael Harriot, a writer and historian who wrote an article earlier this month titled: “I read the entire Project 2025. Here are the top 10 ways it would harm Black America.”

And a closer look at the named contributors to Project 2025 adds to the concern: A USA TODAY analysis found at least five of them have a history of racist writing or statements, or white supremacist activity.

They include Richard Hanania, who for years wrote racist essays for white supremacist publications under a pseudonym until he was unmasked by a Huffington Post investigation last year.

Failed Virginia GOP Senate candidate Corey Stewart, another named contributor, has long associated with white supremacists and calls himself a protector of America’s Confederate history tasked with “taking back our heritage.”

One Project 2025 contributor wrote in his PhD dissertation that immigrants have lower IQs than white native citizens, leading to “underclass behavior.” Another dropped out of contention for a prestigious role at the Federal Reserve amid controversy over a racist joke about the Obamas.

PBS video confirmation of the above:

Go near the end and he's talking about "liquid gold -- gasoline, oil -- under our feet" when an interlocuter says, "Project 2025," and someone else says, "I think we have to leave it there by the Trump team." Then he stops talking and shakes hands with the woman I believe he earlier had called, "Harris."



Never got to hear dimdonnie the traitor's reply. As things stand, you don't have to be in the NABJ audience or a 4-star general to know: Trump is fascist to the core. More people should know, but CIABCNNBCBSFakeNewsNutwerks is what it is.

Kevin Roberts, with plans so austere,
Seeks Orbán-style rule over here.
With Trump as the frame,
He plays the same game—
While scholars cry "Authoritarian! Beware!"

The Heritage Foundation dreams of control,
With Orbán's dark script as their goal.
They cloak it in cheer,
But the threat’s crystal clear—
A strongman with liberty's soul.

And I agree with the 3rd post in the TikTok page -- "Russ Vought is a massive piece of shit. And a nazi" WTF is the matter with these people?

I so hope Georgia voters are smart enough to re-elect him.

I don't think any of Taco Don's appointees ever answer a question directly, whether a yes-or-no question, or any other kind. They dance, feint, babble, obfuscate, etc, etc, etc. They are masters of the, "If you can't dazzle them with brilliance, baffle them with bullshit" approach.

If it’s a question you are uncomfortable about answering, talk a stream of gibberish without stopping until the subject of the question gets obscured. That goes double for yes-or-no questions they desperately want to avoid, but without perjury.

I am SO jealous of Georgia at having Jon Ossoff as one of their Senators. At least I get to have him as a friend. Is there anybody out there who is good at cloning? Asking for a state (not saying which, but it has an X in its two letter abbreviation).
