This is what these Radical Maga Republicans stand for .

Destroying any assistance to Veterans . Their alternative: homelessness.

If you ever wanted to see a manifesto of total neglect , these are Donald Trumps orders from Putin , Orban and his other beloved Dictators.

Is this what it takes to ruin Democracy? They ( Maga) are right on it.

They will stop at nothing that might be destructive to this country.

2025 is the work of the Heritage Foundation and the associates of their who wish to support only the very wealthiest people and they are attempting to destroy anyone in this country who is not wealthy.

The fact that their policies are ‘slash and burn ‘ policies.

They are specifically meant to be. The Catholic Church ( the worst part of it) has promoted these policies rt along by supporting and demanding the Supreme Court extremists, the republicans appointees, adhere to their miserable oaths .

Now the Democrats must oppose the years of corruption and lies put forth by these dictatorial messes.

The cruelty and chaotic loss for everyone is the point and has been for many years.

From their point of view, from the moment of discharge, we became "takers," thus marks. The alternative to too many is suicide.

On the other hand, Bannon is a veteran as are many of his acholytes. MAGA has to be a form of self immulation/ Slow moving hari kiri.

Imagine if there were an executable strategy to put a lid on the FOX channel for starters. There is no MAGA without FOX.

IMHO the Dominion case makes them extremely vulnerable, and there is an ongoing shareholder derivative suit in Delaware against Murdoch. I can't believe that the DNC did not sue after the 2020 cycle when they paid millions for ads, only to find that Fox used the money against them.

How about FOX’s biggest vulnerability isn’t legal or boycott? It’s cutting off the ad buyers (48% of FOX revenue) for select shows. How? Research ad buyers filings. Discover vulnerabilities of the company and especially how the executives and BOD members earn bonuses. Then go after the bonuses through the company weaknesses. It’s a lot of work to implement with a laser focus on one brand and one outcome. It includes involving WS analysts. Involving every swinging social media influence. And implacably driving it home for two full fiscal quarters so the results are clear on the market. Then the people become the new Sheriff in town. Face it - FOX and executives care about one thing. Money. Make it personal for the company executives.

I’m not shocked, but am completely disgusted, appalled, and outraged. The consequences of even some of these actions will be devastating.

It's about a pause to allow some critical thinking and to stop throwing money around like it's toilet paper. Your article is typical socialist whining. 34 Trillion in debt as just empty words to moron socialists

Thanks for breaking it down truthfully and keeping us focused on what we have to do. This isn’t a drill, but we can’t panic and hide under a desk until it’s over either. We’ve got work to do, and it’s going to take all of us. As someone on BlueSky reminded me, we outnumber them so we’ve got no excuse.

Sadly, they don't care if people die because the Project 2025 folks are all about bringing about the "end times" when Christ will reign again on the earth. And of course, they will be saved. Those of us who perish or suffer deserve it. It's sick. I hope instead of spiraling, because that's what they want us to do, folks start to act. Call their representatives and become involved in local politics, as you say.

Fred, as if all this weren’t horrible enough, I started a thread posting a directive from the NIH(National Institute of Health)that I got from “The Handbasket”. Apparently all travel has been suspended by all employed there. The ramifications are laid out in the article. With his withdrawal from the WHO and now this, we are all in for a world of hurt. Also, I think I heard this on Meidas this morning, that Russia and Iran have worked out some sort of an agreement as have China and Russia. Releasing all his brown shirts was just the cherry on top of all the shit.
