Constantly. So far, it's been relegated to also ran status. Every interview should focus on this, instead of falling into the media's trap of incessant focus on Biden's supposed failures.

I also unequivocally reject monarchy and intend to live to see anyone who DARES to be coronated as such in these United States to suffer the same fate as Louis XVI, complete with an adequate marker for the occassion:

*for those wondering, that plaque is in Place de la Concorde in Paris and denotes the spot where King Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette were beheaded.

But if he did actually exist, he would have looked more like this:


In other words, a poor middle eastern Jew, not a European white man. The white, blue-eyed blonde "Jesus" always cracks me up!

I do not understand why the DOJ is not investigating this, and their threats against the American people.

Black Lives Matter marched in the streets advocating for equal justice, and were roughed up, arrested, some even killed during the trump Presidency.

You'll notice since Biden got elected the country is "a mess and completely destroyed" according to them
They've gone as far as to compare The United States of America to a third world Central American Country.

That doesn't sound very loving, and they still want us to leave.

They need to hold onto a decent majority in the House to grease the programs through
I don't know if they can take the Senate this fall.

The general workforce might be okay, except in those departments they're getting rid of or replacing with venture-capital run corporations and AI.
Government pensions, social security, and any sort of retirement investment will be gone, though. I guess us middling class and poors are supposed to work for the masters until we can't anymore, then just go off somewhere ditch-like and die, leaving our spot for the next tool to step in and do what it's told to.
Company complexes for the general workforce and "un-trustables" will be developed within the next few decades. Doesn't matter if they're in cities or out on remote federal facilities, Project 2025 ensures US society will be separated between the Respectable with Money, and everyone else - potential criminals or other riff-raff supporting or working for those with Money.
Just like the old Anti-Bellum Southern Plantation society. The compliant or fellow travellers, the "trusted staff", advisors, and those providing "security" will be able to live nearer to the Big Houses; their rewards will be left-overs and cast offs.
Not good for most of us. But for the wealthy, well - they're going to make a pile of money until it all comes crashing down around them. Because when it comes down to the basics, money in itself is only a transferrable value concept; it doesn't actually do anything other than suck up energy - perhaps hoarded in its physical representation (metal, stone, or paper) it can be used as a construction material.
But until it's given a broadly accepted value amongst everyone, money is basically useless. And all these mediocre but wealthy idiots pushing rich = smart know this in their greedy little hearts. That's why they have to value anything produced with or through physical attributes below the concept of the production of money.
Otherwise, they don't have power over a craftsman, tradesman, or any other person who provides them with whatever they want that they also don't want to work for or do on their own.
Only little people work to sustain themselves to an individual point of comfort (for the most part). The "elite" tell themselves they're smarter because they work to accumulate more money beyond any amount they would ever need.

... and think it is for losers and suckers. They are laying the groundwork to take America -- a country specifically founded in response to the obvious problems of having a king and a national religion -- back to that same kind of monarchy. And they call it "making America great again" -- except that, by definition, it won't be America any longer.

have been talking about Project 2025, I heard Joy Reid mention it, there may be others too.

Rachel Maddow was on the View talking about it too. So the word is getting out.

But mention to friends, some don't know about it at all. This is when we come in. The more we tell, maybe it will sink in.

42. this quote from Kevin Roberts
Tue Jul 9, 2024, 11:10 AM
Jul 9
“Americans in 2024 are in the process of carrying out the Second American Revolution to take power back from the elites and despotic bureaucrats. These patriots are committed to peaceful revolution at the ballot box,” Robers said Wednesday in a post on the social platform X, continuing to describe the threat he sees and warning that “the Left may not allow a peaceful transfer of power.”

“the Left may not allow a peaceful transfer of power.”

WTF it was not us who interfered with the peaceful transfer of power it was TSF and his cult. I hope this whole concept blows up in their faces. What the hell pitting Americans against Americans. This has to stop. All this division and hate has to stop. November is coming up fast and we all have to get this information out there. Is there any agencies or groups planning to have a bill board displayed around the US saying Project 2025 will be the end of America.
