For ALL you people out there who foaming at the mouth about how fucked President Joe Biden IS?
Please check out the WingNuts that even Donald Trump NEEDS but wants top put space between….
November Election SHOULD be ABOUT making SAURE this people do NOT Gain control of the American Government….
America as we KNOW will NOT Exist if they take over…..
Again?
Trump may have danced with them….
But he says NO More*….
The Project asserts that the entire executive branch is under the direct control of the president under Article II of the U.S. Constitution and unitary executive theory.[4][5] It proposes reclassifying tens of thousands of federal civil service workers as political appointees in order to replace them with loyalists more willing to enable the next Republican president’s policies.[6][7] In doing so, proponents argue that the change would dismantle what they view as a vast, unaccountable, and mostly liberal government bureaucracy.[8] The Project seeks to infuse the government and society with Christian values.[9][10] Critics have characterized Project 2025 as an authoritarian, Christian nationalist plan to steer the U.S. toward autocracy.[9][11] Many legal experts have said it would undermine the rule of law,[12] the separation of powers,[3] the separation of church and state,[13] and civil liberties.[3][12][14]
Project 2025 envisions widespread changes to the government, particularly economic and social policies and the role of the federal government and its agencies. The plan proposes taking partisan control of the Department of Justice (DOJ), the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), the Department of Commerce, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), dismantling the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), and sharply reducing environmental and climate change regulations to favor fossil fuel production.[12][15] The blueprint seeks to institute tax cuts,[16] though its writers disagree on the wisdom of protectionism.[17]….
…
The main Project 2025 document, Mandate for Leadership: The Conservative Promise, outlines four main aims: restoring the family as the centerpiece of American life; dismantling the administrative state; defending the nation’s sovereignty and borders; and securing God-given individual rights to live freely.[115] In the Mandate‘s foreword, Heritage Foundation president Kevin Roberts writes, “The long march of cultural Marxism through our institutions has come to pass. The federal government is a behemoth, weaponized against American citizens and conservative values, with freedom and liberty under siege as never before.”[116] Roberts interprets the phrase “pursuit of happiness” in the Declaration of Independence as “pursuit of blessedness”. According to him, “an individual must be free to live as his creator ordained—to flourish.” The Constitution of the United States, he argues, “grants each of us the liberty to do not what we want, but what we ought.”[117]
Key to a good life “is found primarily in family—marriage, children, Thanksgiving dinners and the like”, he writes, and, above all, in “religious devotion and spirituality”.[117] Roberts complains that the United States in 2024 is a place where “inflation is ravaging family budgets, drug overdose deaths continue to escalate, and children suffer the toxic normalization of transgenderism with drag queens and pornography invading their school libraries.”[77] In a public statement, Roberts expressed concern over “rampant crime” in the United States.[14]…

Donald Trump has lately made clear he wants little to do with Project 2025, the conservative blueprint for the next Republican president that has attracted considerable blowback in his race for the White House.
“I have no idea who is behind it,” the former president recently claimed on social media.
Many people Trump knows quite well are behind it.
Six of his former Cabinet secretaries helped write or collaborated on the 900-page playbook for a second Trump term published by the Heritage Foundation. Four individuals Trump nominated as ambassadors were also involved, along with several enforcers of his controversial immigration crackdown. And about 20 pages are credited to his first deputy chief of staff.
In fact, at least 140 people who worked in the Trump administration had a hand in Project 2025, a CNN review found, including more than half of the people listed as authors, editors and contributors to “Mandate for Leadership,” the project’s extensive manifesto for overhauling the executive branch…..

The New Open Thread IS HERE….

Back from. a vacation in the Bahamas that started quiet……
And then you guys came on STRING HERE……
Whew!
CG says
You should have just said, “I’m in the Bahamas” No updates for however long…
Joe Biden deserves to go on a retirement vacation to the Bahamas.
CG says
Anybody who truly thinks Joe Biden is going to be elected President this year or even be nominated next month has a great opportunity to make some serious money if it happens. Prices are extremely favorable right now..

Ghost of SE says
I’d put money on Harris flipping Arkansas, Ohio, Tennessee, and Texas.
If Biden doesn’t drop out, my money goes to Trump flipping the likes of California, Connecticut, Hawaii, Illinois, Massachusetts, New York, and Rhode Island.
51 minutes late to his presser.
Ghost of SE says
Biden takes the stage.
Ghost of SE says
Biden just referred to Vice President Harris as “Vice President Trump.”
Ghost of SE says
Mixes up Putin and Zelenskyy again.
jamesb says
They ALL do that……
Trump is paying a woman $85M he sexually assaulted that he Id’s as his former wife …..
Like i said
Biden GOTTA feed the media
He’ll get BETTER
MIGHT Save his job in the end
Ghost of SE says
Gets one off on Trump and calls him a golf cheat.
jamesb says
Guys?
I REALLY DO NOT THINK Joe Biden is gonna quit the race……;
The opposition is Really in the media and i hear he did well tonight and THAT means he’s getting BETTER
Ghost of SE says
He has his good days. If I were the meme manager for his campaign, this, the State of the Union, and the Raleigh Rally are what I would use for source material in online advertising.
My Name Is Jack says
That’s a lie.
Most of the opposition is within the Democratic Party( another thing you lied about yesterday).
Your pathetic attacks on the media( this from one who has a blog that republishes articles from yes,the media) is very Trumpian.
He and his followers are always bellowing about how this or that media outlet is “unfair “ to him.
Meanwhile,we all sit around waiting for the next big flub which we know is coming and then you will lie about that.
Like Trump you are a pathological liar who,because you are unable intellectually to counter arguments made here by various posters resort to flagrant falsehoods as some type of defensive mechanism.
Lies,lies and more lies…the trademark of Donald Trump and
YOU!
jamesb says
Good Morning People………
Gonna be interesting watching u and others eat their hat when u find out Biden isn’t going anywhere……..
Nice running of additives there Jack!
U sound frustrated …….
All this I’m thinking IS the BEST THING that could have ever happened to’ole’ Joe , who had to have a political media BRICK thrown at him to actually get out and work for his job……
U heard THAT HERE
The paid pundits gonna be saying this ….
jamesb says
Update Jack…….
The Biden comeback HAS ALREADY BEGUN……
Post coming…….
Don’t read the post Jack
It might give ya political heart burn 🔥
My Name Is Jack says
I never said he was dropping out.( another lie of yours).
I’ve said he should drop out and have been saying so for months.
I’ve seen nothing including that news conference last night ,to change my mind.So let me repeat ,if Biden remains the nominee ,Trump will win the election.
As for your silly Biden “ comeback has begun?”We remember a few weeks ago when Biden took a one point lead in a couple of polls and you announced that Biden was “ pulling away.”
So I can presume that if another poll next week shows Trump with a one point lead you will announce that the Biden “ comeback “ has ended?
Clownfoolery
jamesb says
The polling IS as I mentioned….
In the National poll’s they ARE essentially TIED….
Would I and others like to see Biden ahead?
DAMN REAL…..
Let me remind EVERYONE…..
One Hilly Clinton WAS ahead in the polls up to THE END…..
She LOST….
Ghost of SE says
Apart from a couple of miscues, fairly solid presser.
jamesb says
That’s what i hear SE.
After action post coming
CG says
He will be out on or before next Friday.
jamesb says
Trump Media Stock @ 29.86……
jamesb says
You REALLY want to go out on a ledge on THAT CG?
jamesb says
Everybody notice how the media is ignoring the HUGE implications of the Project 2025 is NOT playing over the steady ‘let’s deep six’ the guy who will keep shit together?
jamesb says
Hmmmmmmm?
A Lying President Is More Worrying Than an Old One
A new Marist poll finds voters are more concerned about a president lying than one that is too old to serve by a 68% to 32% margin….
Politicalwire
CG says
Americans believe they are both too old and that they both lie.
Democrats are never going to get anywhere on this “Project 2025” business, if they think that would work for them, when there is a candidate who cannot change the narrative he created by challenging his opponent to a pre-general election debate, trying to counter perceived weaknesses, and then only making those weaknesses much worse, and then continuing to make it worse each and every day for more than two weeks now.
As inconvenient as it is to the Blue MAGA tribalists, the media have to report on what is news. They cannot ignore the debate. They cannot ignore Biden’s continued mistakes and lack of viability. They cannot ignore the misstatements and continuing correcting of the record from the White House. They cannot ignore the concerns that voters are expressing, even a super majority of Biden voters, in the polls. They cannot ignore the tidal wave of Democrat incumbents and candidates who are continuing to call for Biden to drop out. They cannot ignore the stories coming from people inside the White House or Biden World who are saying “yeah, something has been wrong with him for a while now.” The media has a job to do.
Replace Biden with a candidate who can at least begin to shift the narrative and then maybe you can make some headway on “Project 2025.”
jamesb says
Personally?
I think the media is rooting FOR TRUMP
Makes BETTER AUDIENCES……
And they are probably set to pay Trump’s access fee’s as President
CG says
You must have gotten some “good stuff” in the Bahamas.
jamesb says
I had a Great Time………
Look?
We just do NOT know
And a change WILL BE sloppy and leave’s a whole different dynamic
People are just stuck on Biden
Would a change work this late?
My Name Is Jack says
Yes you “ think” lots of things….
You “ thought” that Trump was going to be tried on all these charges against him. You were wrong.
You “ thought “ that Trump ,being a convicted felon ,would cause his support to collapse or at least significantly decline.It didn’t.
You “thought “that Trump being labeled a rapist after losing that lawsuit would help do him in?It didn’t.
You “thought “that so called “ moderate “ Republicans would support Biden over Trump.There is no evidence that has or will happen,nor, for that matter,have you ever even defined what is a “ moderate “ Republican.You called Nikki Haley one for awhile.She is supporting Trump.
You “thought “that Biden gaining a one or two point advantage in a few polls showed he was “ pulling away.’ He didn’t.
You “thought” that Trump losing civil lawsuits and piling up adverse judgments would lose him support It didn’t.
I could go on..
The point of course is you are always wrong and what you “ think” about the present situation is worthless and the object of the aforementioned ridicule which your comments so richly deserve.
jamesb says
Yup Jack……
I Have NEVER BOUGHT into the Trump OPTICS
AS YOU HAVE HERE….
Proud of Myself
Now we wait
Does Biden turn this around
Or
Democrats take a crapshoot shot with the Vice President?
3 1/2 months from Election Day?
Makes sense to me?
jamesb says
Question?
If the media and other’s get Harris?
Will the media let Biden go?
Cause Trump probably won’t
CG says
If Harris becomes the nominee, will you refuse to vote for her james?
I am predicting you will not give an unequivocal answer.
jamesb says
The problem IS for Democrats right now?
It’s ONLY about Biden
NOT TRUMP
jamesb says
A Mixed Woman against Donald Trump ?
Fireworks
Trump would NOT be happy
CG says
So, what I am getting for you is that if the race were Trump vs. Harris, you might not vote for the Democrat?
Do I have that right? It’s a simple answer to allay any concerns from your ardent Democrat readers.
jamesb says
No
I’m Voting Democratic
My Name Is Jack says
It’s nice to be “proud of yourself .”
You’re just always WRONG.
If that’s something to be be proud of,you’re quite bursting with “ pride”
Idiotic as usual.
jamesb says
Morning folks……..
U too Jack…..:.:
Actually?
I think my batting average is about the same as most of the people doing this stuff……
Of course i keep on trying to keep u intrigued with my knowledge!

jamesb says
Thanks Joe
Get the fuck out
You LOOK TOOOOOOOOOO OLD
WE’ll gamble on someone else
Ghost of SE says
It’s time to consider the Vice President with an actual track record of winning national elections.
Al Gore.
jamesb says
Gore Actually WON…….
CG says
Election Deniers are sad.
Ghost of SE says
I’m not informed enough to comment on the Supreme Court business. The butterfly ballots in South FL, which caused thousands of Jewish voters to vote for Pat Buchanan, is the biggest reason Gore lost.
CG says
It was one county in Florida, in which an elected Democrat designed the ballot, and nobody objected at the time, until afterwards. It was the same ballot design that existed in Cook County, IL at the time.
The networks calling the state early for Gore,while the Republican dominated part of the state was still voting for an extra hour, and people walked away from the polls at that point, also played a role.
Ghost of SE says
Yep, that probably canceled some of those butterfly ballots. Also may have depressed turnout enough to cost Bush several close Western states, perhaps contributing to the popular vote win.
I can’t cop too hardcore a view on this, as I was 6 that year and election deniers generally disgust me.
CG says
You are only 30 now? Damn.
Ghost of SE says
I will always maintain(and they agree with me) that my parents never should have caved in to my dogged determination to start posting on news/politics comment threads at the age of 14. I laugh hysterically at some of the memories, but it wasn’t a good thing for me.
I’ll be 30 in a few weeks, provided the soda, Wendy’s, and RaceTrac pizza diet doesn’t catch and kill me before then. Almost as old as one of our commenters was when he died, but on my good days I hope I end up beating his number.
jamesb says
14?
REALLY?
Ghost of SE says
Yes, I had confidence I could swing with the big hitters and contribute something. Not much of intelligence came from my keyboard on P1 and for many years on here, but I did contribute. Not well, and on P1 in a singularly bad way. But contribute I did.
Ghost of SE says
All he has to do in a debate with Trump is do that sighing thing he did with Bush. Easiest win ever, and Gore is sharper than Biden was even 4-5 years ago.
jamesb says
Met Al back in the day
Nice guy
They ain’t reaching back for him
Would HAVE TO BE Kamala
CG says
Gore would stand a better chance against Trump than Biden at this point. Of course it is not going to happen, but almost any Democrat would.
Undecided about if Dukakis would do better than Biden. It is possible.
Ghost of SE says
He is 92, 11 years older than Biden and his health status is unknown. Gore was a deliberate, considered choice on my end.
Ghost of SE says
Should be corrected to say “90, 9 years older.”
jamesb says
Me too
CG says
Charges against Alec Baldwin dismissed.
Even the people who play Trump on television are getting courtroom breaks.
jamesb says
Should have NEVER BEEN charged
He’s the actor
Was handled the gun by the ‘expert’
Ghost of SE says
CG should know better. Just because James’ comments are as legible as a Trump speech doesn’t mean he’d ever use his vote to help the guy.
CG says
james has been very coy before on things like this. He also said he never voted for Cuomo, never voted for Gilibrand, he apparently doesn’t vote in primaries, etc, so I just wanted to be sure.
When Biden is replaced by Harris, (I give it a week), I tend to think james will be on board and say he was for it all along.
Ghost of SE says
NY is(or was) a super blue state. His vote doesn’t matter much outside swing district House races and the odd local election. Probably felt free to vote his conscience knowing this.
CG says
During the 2020 primary season, I recall that he took the position that he would only vote if Biden were the nominee.
jamesb says
I NEVER voted for those two
Cuomo is now saying Trump should have not be tried by Bragg
Gillibrand is just a lousy politician
Ghost of SE says
He’s auditioning to be his brother Chris’ co-host on NewsNation.
Ghost of SE says
The only circumstance where I could see James voting Republican is if Biden is losing in a 49 state landslide and taking the Senate with him. Then he might vote for the normally hopeless Republican running against Gillibrand.
jamesb says
Thanks SE…….
CG says
During the 2020 prim,ary sea,son, I recal.l that he took the positio,n that he would only vote if Biden were the nomin.ee.
CG says
I can’t figure out this filter. I am trying to post one sentence.
Let’s try again.. in the 2020 primaries, he was saying it was Biden or nobody for him.
Ghost of SE says
I do remember him saying “I could live with Money Mike.”
Personally, I was open to voting Bernie Sanders if that Primary came down to a proxy war between him and Bloomberg. Buying the nomination is a no go for me. But I voted Biden after SC when I saw polls reflecting a Biden surge across the Super Tuesday states.
CG says
I endorsed Bloomberg for the nomination in 2020 and said I would vote for him in the general election. But he was out by the time the primary came along, so I wrote in Mitt Romney while voting in the D primary that year.
Ghost of SE says
It’s not yet too late for a 2026 race for California Governor between 88 year old Jerry Brown and 96 year old Clint Eastwood.

Tulsi Gabbard is accusing the the Biden Administration of orchestrating a hit on Trump, in order to stay in power.
I guess her last ditch audition to be Trump’s VP was not enough.
Scott P says
Vance blamed Trump getting shot by a Republican gun nut with easy access to an AR 15 on Democrats correctly pointing out that he promised to ne a dictator for a day
jamesb says
Guys?
Are U saying that we will have a NEW media direction herding focused on GOP er internal discontent?
I knew the media would turn against Trump when they thought Biden was done
But THIS?
CG says
What does “new media direction herding” mean?
The debate was not a media creation. It happened and needed to be talked about because of what happened during the debate.
The assassination attempt was not a media creation. It happened and had to be covered.
Internal discontent in the MAGA (no longer GOP) Party? They look pretty well united to me, at least publicly. I mean I am out there very unhappy, but I don’t really count for anything anymore with them.
CG says
Once again in filter.
jamesb says
Morning…….
Guys?
I think Joe Biden IS gonna be the Democratic nominee
CG?
Ur prediction time has run out
Biden STILL ain’t going anywhere
CG says
The time has not run out. I said 7/19 from the beginning. Let’s wait to see if I have to take the L on the prediction. If not for the Trump assassination attempt, things would be different in terms of what Democrats would have been doing.
I will then perhaps adjust the prediction to August 9, to coincide with the 50th Anniversary of the Nixon Resignation.
jamesb says
U said end of LAST WEEK?
CG?
Harris pol’s worse against Trump
CG says
Since the day after the debate, I have said by the end of the day Friday, July 19. Still several news cycles away. Don’t be dishonest. Trump getting shot changed the momentum, at least temporarily.
Your dislike for the Vice President, as a supposed ardent Democrat, is just staggering.
My Name Is Jack says
James making an issue of wrong predictions is beyond hilarious.
The master of wrong predictions trolling others?
Hahaha!!

That U for ur critical view’s Jack!
I’m glad they make YOU Happy…..

Bob Menendez- guilty
CG says
If Menendez does not resign, will the Senate move to expel him?
Scott P says
I would support that. Would be a great contrast to having a convicted felon as the GOP nominee and the conservatives on the Supreme Court who took bribes and face no repercussion
jamesb says
He needs to step down
He may fight
But this IS second time in this situation
He needs to go
If his appeal fails?
Decision is made
CG says
The appeal would be months away. He is to be sentenced at the end of October.
He needs to resign or be removed now. He is a convicted felon, who was found guilty of being an agent of a foreign government,and as of today, he still has access to highly sensitive classified information.
jamesb says

Ghost of SE says
“America is better than this” they say. Oh really, now? The true testament to what this country is about, as I see it, is our current presidential campaign coming down to who has a bigger Cockasaurus Rex between Joe and Don. I have asked coworkers, man on the street style, who would be the better porn actor between the two.
Prove me wrong.
