Donald Trump is probably fuming about this interview with former Project 2025 director Paul Dans.
One of the architects of the conservative Project 2025 manifesto demonstrated on CNN Monday the many ways in which Donald Trump is tied to the project.
Speaking to Kaitlin Collins on The Source, the project’s former director, Paul Dans, admitted that he’s visited Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate several times and has spoken with Trump’s campaign staff there, including the campaign’s co-chair Susie Wiles.
To the Christians, you can just write in “Jesus” if your conscience bothers you about voting for a convicted felon.
Youre too late, the republicans already plastered jesus all around their campaign. Its all it took to get their votes apparently
AK-47 Jesus
Rapist, and adulterer.
Conscience lol
reminder: Jesus was also a convicted criminal
Not for rape
Trump wasn’t convicted of rape either. He’s a rapist, just not a convicted one.

To clarify, he was found liable for sexual assault, missing NY states legal definition of rape but those sexual assault actions should still be understood as rape in common language.
The finding that Ms. Carroll failed to prove that she was ‘raped’ within the meaning of the New York Penal Law does not mean that she failed to prove that Mr. Trump ‘raped’ her as many people commonly understand the word ‘rape,’ ” Kaplan wrote.
He added: “Indeed, as the evidence at trial recounted below makes clear, the jury found that Mr. Trump in fact did exactly that.
Kaplan said New York’s legal definition of “rape” is “far narrower” than the word is understood in “common modern parlance.”
The former requires forcible, unconsented-to penetration with one’s penis. But he said that the conduct the jury effectively found Trump liable for — forced digital penetration — meets a more common definition of rape. He cited definitions offered by the American Psychological Association and the Justice Department, which in 2012 expanded its definition of rape to include penetration “with any body part or object.”
The judge clarified Trump IS a rapist.
technically he was adjudicated as a rapist (or, in NY, sexual assault since he didn’t use his penis) in a civil case. in more common terms, it has been declared - legally - to be true, even though he wasn’t charged with or convicted of the crime of rape/sexual assault.
This is a fucking weird bOtH siDEs
is Jesus on the ballot? first i’ve heard of this… don’t candidates have to be alive and also exist?
Jesus sounds Mexican. Did anyone check his birth certificate?
But but but he just said on the debate he has nothing to do with 2025. Trump wouldn’t lie to us! Would he?
I actually don’t think he’s lying about this. He’s a moron who famously doesn’t read, and he doesn’t need to be included in this. Project 2025 is the Lovecraftian baby of the Heritage Foundation and other fascist groups lurking in trump’s shadow.
Trump is not the driving force behind this fascist movement – he’s just their carnival barker. If he dropped dead today, it would only make a minor dent in this movement.
I think it’s actually dangerous to focus on trump as though he’s the mastermind of this stuff. He is not, and the danger won’t be over once he’s gone.
It’s the out of control, moneyed interests in this country that are the real problem.
Wealth inequality is the problem that spawns all other problems, and until we make strides to get it back under control we will forever be putting out little fires that threaten to set the entire country ablaze.
Wealthy Christian nationalists, specifically. They’re hell-bent on turning the US into a theocracy. They’ve been shedding members at an unprecedented rate (and thus money) as the populace becomes more secular, and since persuasion hasn’t been working, they’ve resolved to take their control back by force.
I’m to the point where I am pro-tax the rich even if the government took all of the money, put it in a big pile, and then set it on fire like the Joker in the Dark Knight.
EDIT: In my stump speech, I’ll start proposing this as my plan to fight inflation. /s
I mostly agree but go the step farther that the danger is pushed back a bit once he’s gone, because what other candidate wouldn’t have his own plan? His own goals? Anyone else would see that merely as a means to an end, and take only the compatible pieces
Yes, that’s the minor dent I was referring to. They’d need to find another front-man. I wouldn’t be surprised if it took less than a week to convince Musk to take on the mantle.
e: the right is plenty enamoured with Musk, so I think the transition would be fairly smooth.
he denied it three times.

Eggplantbird? Cockcrow? Peniscorovid? Dicktweet?
Cock crow. You got it! The comment reminded me of the denial of Peter and I felt compelled to reference it as ridiculously as possible. If I could find the clip of the roadside preacher from A Knight’s Tale I would link it.
Schlongchirp
Any mind demented enough to come up with 900+ pages of fascist garbage is not simply going to vanish into the wind. Trump disavowed it? Gosh, if it wasn’t for him lying non-stop for decades, I might buy that BS. Sorry, no sale.
Bruh. Any one of these shitbags could go on fox “news” and tell viewers that the plan is to rape and murder their own children for the fuck of it, and he’d lose no one. Not a single mindless Republican traitor would give a fuck.
Ehhh, I saw that interview yesterday, and I would not characterize it as Dans “confess[ing to] deep Trump ties.” NewRepublic is again not a very fair source.
No shit.

I have yet to see this thing say any source isn’t highly credible and factual. Which this source isn’t.
