I am confused by a few things in this post. I will go over them individually.

It bothers me that she did better than people expected her to. I wonder what motivates that thought? She is a career courtroom lawyer performing in what is almost a courtroom setting. The studying and prep. The strategy to rattle the opponent or witness. Selling herself to the American people or jury. I have been saying she is going to wipe the floor with him and she did exactly what I expected her to. This isn't a politician with a law degree, this is a lawyer turned politician. No one should be surprised. "I can't believe Quinn Ewers threw a football", is what this equates to.

What was ABC supposed to do when Trump stated people were eating animals, killing babies post birth, and saying the election was stolen from him? The Charlottesville comments were dog-whistling, and I am an expert on that because that technique was built on the backs of black people like me. But if you need proof of those comments being dog-whistles look at what happened shortly thereafter. All the Supremacist groups immediately joined MAGA and have remained with him ever since. That is all you need to know. Since then he has made many other comments including his direct orders to the Proud Boys.

Now onto this project 2025 thing. It is not hard to attach Trump to project 2025 if you took the time to crack it's pages. Here are things Trump has done, tried to do, or talked about doing that align with the plans in Project 2025.

Turning over Roe

Mass Deportation of Illegals

Eliminating the Dept of Education

Eliminating subsidies for electric vehicles

Attacking DEI

Pulling out of the Paris Accords

Still not convinced yet? Trump said he knows nothing about project 2025 and doesn't know anyone over there. 140 Trump advisors and aides had a hand in writing it. JD Vance wrote the forward. Here is a picture of Trump on a plane with Kevin Roberts, the author of Project 2025. There are other pics if you just took the time to look.

 

Still not convinced? Here is hidden video some journalists did where Russell Vought, co-author of Project 2025 is explaining Trump distancing himself from it.

 

 

Still not convinced? Here is Trump talking about how the good people at The Heritage Foundation have a detailed plan for how they are going to go forward(video on the right}. He doesn't name it by name but you know what this means right?

 

So now we have the alignment of Trump policies. Many people from Trump's camp involved in the writing. His VP candidate writing the forward. Pictures of him meeting the author. The other author telling you why Trump is distancing himself from the project UNTIL they get in office. Then finally Trump praising the Heritage Foundation for its detailed plan for the future. If you STILL are trying to say he doesn't know anything about it you are simply a bad actor and flat out MAGA. We see you no matter how hard you try to "both sides".

Let's play that last part out.  If MAGA says he doesn't know what it is then either he is the stupidest person alive with all the connections you laid out or everyone around him is lying to him.

There is no document more tailored made for creating a dictatorship than project 2025. It lays out specifically bow it will end democracy. They only reason I believe the lie that Trump ever read it is because he is a lazy fat fuck that can only digest tweets not a manual.

 

But rest assured that tome was written specifically from him he ordered his underlings to plan out ahead how to proceed in a future Trump dictatorship.

You are parsing my surprise at how well Kamala did with me thinking she wasn't capable. That's the wrong vantage point. I circled this debate and was looking forward to it for weeks since she became the democratic nominee, and fully expected her to destroy him. But she exceeded even my lofty expectations. It's not that I thought poorly of her, quite the opposite. It's that she looked like one of the best ever up there, like straight up Jordan mode. I am so deeply impressed by her now, easily more so than I've ever been from any politician ever. She blew my mind last night.

And he doesn't want Bret Baier or Martha MacAllum to moderate because he doesn't think the "praised him enough" after last night's performance. Meanwhile, he thought Jesse Watters was "fantastic" and would love him, Hannity or Ingraham instead.

Those three are the best debunkers.

WHAT HAPPENED DURING THE 2ND COMMERCIAL BREAK? Per pooler

@saraecook

of

@cbsnews

: "The second the stage hand said they were clear for a 4 minute break, Trump turned towards the exit, gave a big sigh through closed lips, and walked off stage without looking at Harris. "From the time the moderators announced they were going to break, Harris began writing on her notepad. She wrote continuously for the entire first two minutes of the break, occasionally bringing one hand to her chin or brushing hair behind her ear. "She then reviewed what she wrote for the next minute, making a few tweaks, before putting the pen down and looking out around the room with her hands folded in front of her. She took a sip of water from a glass placed under the lectern. "Trump walked back onstage 30 seconds before the end of break. He did not look at Harris, she did not look at him. Harris made small adjustments to her collar. Both candidates looked straight ahead until the program restarted. "Again, no words were spoken."

3 minute diaper change, impressive

Fact:  He's read the bullet points or the pictographs of the bullet points.  They make up 75% of his speeches with the rest filled in by sharks, electric boats and eating cats and dogs.

I am mainly talking about those so called "Independents" who are MAGA attempting to hide in plain sight. For the rest of us I liken it to current Texas Football. We've been wandering in the wilderness for so long it's hard to believe that Oasis is actually real. So when you go on the road and play an inferior team like Michigan, it's hard to allow yourself to imagine a win. However, once the curb-stomping begins, you realize pretty quickly what were you worried about? You were always going to win because Sark just simply has assembled a better team.

Harris has said she knows how to handle him but we are scared to believe her because Hillary. However, if you pull back and think about it they were trying out what works on Trump through memes. Testing his defenses. Finding out what triggers him. Then writing it, masterfully, into debate talking points. The use of "a study at Wharton" slid by most Americans, but us in the know were like "Ouch!". Steve Sarkisian, I mean Kamala Harris is making all the right moves, and its time to trust again.

All that's true. But what I think some people missed is how much of this performance is actually on Kamala herself. I was talking to my dad today about the debate -- he's elated with the results. But he had a comment that was like "credit to those people she had prepping and advising her because they're awesome." And yes, those people deserve credit and are world class, but Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden had people like that too. Being prepared and well versed isn't enough. It's the savvy and ability to use those tools for devastating effect, and Kamala nailed it. She has "Sark" in her corner, but she was Quinn Ewers playing his best under the bright lights. Total team win top to bottom that is impressive in how well oiled it was. Fuck, this is making me want to go back and rewatch it. Again.

[lemonlime 5503]

If your argument is the moderators were unfair because they didn't parse out the meaning from a load of rambling and double talk from trump and whether Harris was couching it correctly, but corrected trump on whether immigrants are stealing cats to eat them for dinner, you're a cult member who has lost all common sense.

Yeah, ok. He just implements most of the Heritage Foundation's policies, the vast majority of the people involved in Project 2025 served in his last adminstration (here's a second link if you want to confirm), Vance wrote the foreword for their book, Trump's name is all over Project 2025, but sure, other than that, he has nothing to do with it.

the hardest evidence that he’s responsible for project 2025 is his repeated insistence that he knows nothing about it.
