Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Trump's ENTIRE message is "I might do this, I might do that", and then hold for applause. This is what his followers don't understand. They think he has the same ideals as they do, but they don't understand he's just a clown chasing applause.
They saw his first term, and realized he wasn't going to do Project 2025 stuff, and they immediately turned on him. Even his VP pick. Their focus is so honed into the "Dr Feelgood" bullshit of owning their opponents, that they can't possibly see him absolutely not fucking it up a second time.
Fool a fascist once...
In no place does Trump specify which ideas he disagrees with in Project 2025. He just doesn't want to be associated with it. He is not really disavowing the ideas though, AFAIK. And at least for the anti-choice people, Trump has done much that is in line with Project 2025. And he mirrors many of their ideas on immigration.
Trump doesn't want to be associated with "Project 2025" because "Project 2025" is getting beat up in the press. He likes all of the plans in the document, he just doesn't like the name. It's like how you'll find conservatives still hate Obamacare, but are pretty happy with all the reforms and protections in the Affordable Care Act.
This is my go-to example for "you guys have no idea what is going on".
If elected we can be certain that one of the first things that Convicted Felon and Sex Offender Treason Trump will tell us is that "we are going to implement Project 2025 as soon as possible". And it will be true, but Trump will not tell us that to be informative. He will say that just to get our attention, like an abusive ex-spouse. And he will keep on playing the abusive ex-spouse demanding our attention the entire 4 years. In fact he will be turning up the heat the entire time hoping that he normalizes enshitification enough to end free elections.
we can't promote this, I won't get elected.
"But it's your platform."
can we just lie all the time? that worked well last time...
