Today's Tiedrich rant: Republicans are running away from Project 2025. let's make the bastards own it



Link: https://www.jefftiedrich.com/p/republicans-are-running-away-from

Little Donny Convict loves to brag about how he hires only the best people. big, strong men with tears in their eyes, who come up to him and say ‘sir! sir! this is the best way to implement immigration policy.’ but of course, Donny doesn’t hire the best people. he hires random goofballs who he happened to see flattering him on Fox News, and decided on the spot that they looked like they came out of ‘central casting.’

this is how Donny ended up with the clownishly unqualified Matthew Whitaker as his Acting Attorney General. Matty’s prior job was selling — and I’m quoting here — “a toilet for people with enormous dicks” — but Donny liked what he saw on Fox, and boom — for three whole months this sleazy conman was the top guy at the DOJ.

it’s inevitable that a kook like the Big Dick Toilet Salesman will shit the bed in some spectacular fashion — and when he does, all of a sudden Trump never met the guy, okay? he was just a low-level staffer whose only task was to fetch coffee.

get ready for Donald Trump’s newest low-level coffee fetcher who he has absolutely never met — and this time, it’s not a person, it’s a thing.

Screenshot:

“I know nothing about Project 2025. I have no idea who is behind it. I disagree with some of the things they’re saying and some of the things they’re saying are absolutely ridiculous and abysmal. Anything they do, I wish them luck, but I have nothing to do with them.”

This is a great rant by Jeff Tiedrich ... one of his best I think. And that's saying a LOT! There are several interesting points he makes about the Project 2025 manifesto, enough to scare all of us! Please click on the link to read the rest on his daily blog "Everyone is entitled to my own opinion."

Now I have a minor quibble concerning the disavowal Xweet by Chump. Isn't it obvious that Chump could not have written that Xweet? It's four complete, correct sentences with no grammatical or spelling errors. The word "abysmal" doesn't exist in Chump's 7th grade-level vocabulary, but here he even spelled it correctly? Come on!

(paraphrasing Michael Steele)

I agree … they noticed it was unpopular, and now they're running away from it. Time to hang it around their necks.

The Heritage Foundation holds the copyright to Project 2025. The Heritage Foundation is tax exempt under section 501(c)(3).
501(c)(3) organizations are absolutely prohibited from intervention in any political campaign on behalf of, or in opposition to, any candidate for public office. Trump has no doubt been instructed to "disavow" Project 2025 to avoid jeopardizing Heritage Foundation's 501(c)(3) status.

oh, and by the way — Donny has his own version of Project 2025. he calls it Agenda 47 and it’s right there on his web site. it’s the same grab-bag of authoritarianism, corporatism and god-bothering zealotry. so how can he profess ignorance?


The link to Chump's campaign website is thoughtfully provided on Tiedrich's blog.

...the Nazi Heritage Foundation. That's what they are advocating. Wouldn't be our first encounter with American Nazis.
