I've seen what you've done. Subtle, and funny. Well done.

Seriously, though: thanks for taking the notes on Project 2025's ties to Trump and his claque, and publishing them. The next necessary step is tying Republican House and Senate candidates to Project 2025.

Well written and drives home the real issues involved. Since Citizens United, through Dobbs and immunity, the Supreme Court has been paving the way for an easy implementation of Project 2025. Heather Cox Richardson: "Journalist Jennifer Schulze of Heartland Signal noted today that as of 8:00 this morning, the New York Times had published 192 pieces on Biden’s debate performance: 142 news articles and 50 opinion pieces. Trump was covered in 92 stories, about half of which were about the Supreme Court’s immunity ruling. Although Trump has frequently slurred his words or trailed off while speaking and repeatedly fell asleep at his own criminal trial, none of the pieces mentioned Trump’s mental fitness.  Juliet Jeske of Decoding Fox News noted that Trump’s name shows up on more than 190 pages of the Project 2025 playbook." 7/6/24 MSNBC Daily, Max Burns: "In a new CNN poll out this week, 91% of Democratic voters still said they support his [Biden's] candidacy. The latest Wall Street Journal poll puts that number lower, at 86% of registered Democrats. Either way, Team Biden knows the path to victory likely runs through undecideds, independents and Trump-skeptical conservatives — many of whom now think Democrats would be better off without Biden on the ticket, according to that same CNN poll." Maybe having someone other than Biden would have been good prior to the nomination, but not now. Do you really believe the Biden hit-squad are altruists who have your best interests in mind? I'm terrified by Project 2025, this isn't fantasy football and there is no magical unicorn candidate. Kathleen Porter (I'm 72 so I may have her last name wrong - call the mental health professionals), has an op-ed in WaPo today about how Biden has a problem with women, two specific women - Jill Biden and VP Kamala Harris. The VP hits are just ramping up but, please tell me how our VP could ride in and solve all these problems because, as the Supreme Court believes, we're beyond racism and misogyny.

Ya think? (your final statement)

Thanks for this. I’ve read the MSM on this. They skirted the issue in a way that would make those of us who don’t/can’t follow politics think it was no big deal. I’d love an analysis of how the MSM does this: Yeah, look at this. No, don’t worry.
