Trump has publicly rejected Project 2025 as Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign has sought to tie him to some of the plan’s most extreme proposals. But in private, Vought said that those disavowals were merely “graduate-level politics.”

    Vought said his group, the Center for Renewing America, was secretly drafting hundreds of executive orders, regulations, and memos that would lay the groundwork for rapid action on Trump’s plans if he wins, describing his work as creating “shadow” agencies.

    FUCKING LITERALLY every accusation is a fucking confession with these fucking people.

    How can anyone who claims to be fucking religious think God is going to forgive all this lying and scheming? Do they think that their Lord stops watching when they’re doing bad things? Or that he’s okay with them doing bad things in his name? It’s fucking bonkers.

    But I guess you’d have to be fucking bonkers to believe any of that bullshit anyway.

    Seriously though, spread this shit like wildfire.

      I’ve watched a lot of religious arguments and debates and, let me tell you, the religious have no problem whatsoever with lying. I mean, sometimes they’re wrong, sometimes they have a weird interpretation, but they also tell bold faced lies that are easily disproven. They do it often and even when proven to be a lie, they just keep saying it for years.

        FYI, it’s “bald faced”. It comes from “barefaced”, as in, having nothing to hide behind. A bare/bald face has no hair to hide behind, so it is out in the open.

          I knew the right phrasing, but not the origins. Thanks for that.

        Hmm, I wonder if people should be judging them based on their actions instead of their professed religion.

        Of course! After all, not questioning things regardless of evidence to the contrary is what religious “faith” is all about. Why would religious leaders push “faith” so hard if they weren’t planning on taking advantage of it?

      Because God doesn’t like lying and scheming… unless it’s in his (loosly defined, unprovable, constantly shifting) design.

      They’re morally right and you’re morally wrong. Why? Because they say so.

        You’re right, I forgot. Christianity comes with an endless “get out of jail free” card by asking forgiveness from Jesus. All you gotta do is let Jesus into your heart and boom bam thank you ma’am all your endless fuckups and unwillingness to be a better person are forgiven! Surely you’ll somehow be a better person in heaven!

      The God stuff is just used to control the masses and the useful idiots. No one in the upper echelons, including those of the Vatican, believes any of that. If they did, they would out and shame pedophiles with extreme prejudice. The God delusion is used to attain and maintain power and access to resources. Nothing more.

      Edit: I understand some people earnestly need their faith, so that’s why I think religion should just be a private thing. But religion and religious belief of any kind needs to removed from serious public discourse and policymaking. Enough is enough.

        I think the counterargument here is that hurting people is bad, even when they’ve done harm,

        but even that falls pretty short, because it’s not just that the upper echelons of the Catholic Church aren’t “outing and shaming” them, but also that the system is literally protecting them.

      FUCKING LITERALLY every accusation is a fucking confession with these fucking people.

      It’s different when they do it because they are the Heroic PCs rather than the Villainous NPCs.

      They’re going to do the based trad MAGA reforms, not the Soy Woke Chinese Communism.
