That way, nothing they ever do, going forward, can be considered unconstitutional. Project 2025 is a guide book that will give birth to a new Constitution.

Love to see Trump erect a huge statue of himself on the WH lawn so it becomes a focal point for protest and, ultimately, the country's liberators can have the symbolic satisfaction of destroying it. Trump likely has dreamed of such a monument but worries about being able to get it up and keep it up.

You can't just wait for the pendulum to swing back and forth; sometimes you need to give it a good hard, violent push.

The resistance to women like AOC becoming president has nothing to do with policy.
Itโs about power, and who weโve been conditioned to believe deserves to hold it.
Letโs challenge that.

Whereโs the coverage on mainstream? What good is 24-hour โnewsโ if you wonโt cover actual news when it happensโand itโs happening all day. Thatโs literally why CNN, MSNBC, and CBC Newsworld were created. And yet they capitulate to despotism.
