NAME REMOVED

Project 2025's creator is 'ecstatic' over Trump's terrible cabinet picks Drew Angerer/Getty Images As the rest of the world scratches their heads at Trump's bizarre and unqualified cabinet picks, Kevin Roberts, president of the Heritage Foundation, said that he is "ecstatic." Roberts told right-wing extremist host Steve Gruber that the president-elect's choices are "sending signals that you better go back if you're here illegally." "Honestly, I’m ecstatic,” Roberts said. “I mean, this is exceeding our expectations and our expectations were high because President-elect Trump, of course, has a proven record." For those who aren't MAGA loyalists, Trump's appointments have been baffling. He chose anti-vaccine Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as secretary of Health and Human Services, who has a long history of embracing conspiracy theories, and has been rebuked by his famous family. Kennedy believes, among many other falsehoods, that the environment turns children transgender (it doesn't), that vaccines cause autism (they don't), and that HIV does not cause AIDS (it does). Trump has appointed Matt Gaetz to Attorney General, who has been the subject of an investigation by the House Ethics Committee over claims he had a sexual relationship with a 17-year-old, who he allegedly paid to travel with him. Gaetz has also been accused of paying a minor girl for sex. Trump's pick for Secretary of Defense, Fox News host Pete Hegseth, opposes women and transgender people in combat roles, and admitted to not washing his hands because he doesn't believe in germs. "I do have to say my favorite, which would surprise no one including the President-elect, [is] Tom Homan, our visiting fellow at The Heritage Foundation, as border czar, who's already just sending signals that you better go back if you're here illegally," Roberts continued. "But all of the names that you mentioned and then some that are rumored to be named in the next couple of days, this has the making of one of the best cabinets in modern American history and that is fitting because there is a lot of work ahead." Roberts' organization, the Heritage Foundation, has a long history of opposing LGBTQ+ rights, as well as fighting against marriage equality, protections for LGBTQ+ workers, and healthcare for transgender youth. The conservative think-tank is also the source of Project 2025, the over 900-page policy blueprint for a second Trump administration that includes dismantling LGBTQ+ rights, banning abortion, and implementing loyalty tests for government employees. Roberts recently said on Bloomberg Podcasts' Balance of Power that "because the work of Project 2025 represents the conservative movement, it would be very difficult for anybody to implement policies on education, on the border, on taxation, without at least consulting those ideas and people."

Trump was a compete failure during his first term, in that regard. Then again, Trump failed at nearly every business venture he tried, Then again "at first you don't succeed, try, try again."

^This is an example of how not to post on an internet forum. Trying to win an argument off emotions, rather than factual information, stats, and sources, is a method that people with poor debate skills use. Don't be like @CdnFox. Research your argument, and be prepared to use links and facts to substantiate it.

Let me know when you can refute my argument with facts, and not just Ad hominen attacks...

Ex-UN Inspector sentenced to prison for online sex case Ex-UN inspector guilty of sex with children Ritter was caught by authorities twice, trying to solicit sex from minors. Once in 2001, and again in 2009. He spent 2 1/2 years in prison. Ritter is a unrepentant paedophile.

Hard no. Most cities have become wise enough to know the economic costs of hosting the Olympic Games (especially the Summer Games), is a money losing proposition. It's got to the point where only two cities were prepared to bid on the next two summer games, and the IOC awarded them to LA and Paris, considering no other city bothered to compete to host the games, and they did not want to face the very real possibility that nobody was going to bid on the 2032 Olympics, so they pretty much gave them to Brisbane, Australia. This is certainly a far cry from the 80s/90s, when up to a dozen cities would be bribing IOC officials in hopes of landing the games for their city.

You do realise that your source is a twice convicted paedophile, who turned on America, once he was outed as a sex offender, and has been a Kremlin puppet for the past decade? If you follow Scott Ritter on social media, you should ask him if he is showing his "junk" to 12 year old Russian girls, just as he did thousands of times to underage preteen American girls in the past.

With each passing day since Trump's election win, Project 2025 looks more and more like it will eventually be implemented, especially considering who trump has appointed to important positions in his new cabinet.

It's almost certainly going to start in the Middle East.

@CdnFox, I notice you base your entire rebuttal on the 2020 COVID pandemic, and conveniently ignore the fact that the Democratic Party has done better with the economy and national debt for the past 50 years. The reason why you base your argument on one year out of the last 5 decades, is that you have no rebuttal as to why Democratic Leaders such as Bill Clinton, Jimmy Carter, and Barack Obama handled the economy exponentially better than George Bush Sr, George Bush Jr, and Donald trump. It's actually quite pathetic how you ignore the fact that every single recession going back 50 years, has occurred under Republican leadership (1973, 1982, 1990, 2001, 2008, and 2020). Other than Ronald Reagan, name one Republican president who ended up leaving office, without the US economy in the shitter, and the national dept spiralling out of control.

Here is an excellent article from July 2024, about Kamala Harris from the USA today. The election played out exactly as the writer had predicted: Harris is awful. But left's love of identity politics means Democrats are stuck with her. President Biden's inner circle had to have known for some time that he was unwell and unfit to serve a second term. As vice president, Harris had to have known it as well. Nicole Russell USA TODAY President Joe Biden has finally bowed out of his reelection campaign and endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris as his successor. In doing so, Biden and his party have undermined the democratic process at every step. Delegates who are pledged to Biden must now throw their weight behind Harris or risk an open convention. They must do that even though they surely realize how bad all of this looks for the party that has spent the past four years accusing Republicans of undermining the 2020 election results. They also surely know that Harris isn't the best person to represent the Democratic Party. Yet, delegates must support Harris not only because of Biden's endorsement but also because they're shackled by their party's radical embrace of identity politics. Democrats have no real choice but to back Kamala Harris For years, the Democratic Party has championed woke, identity politics. Its definition is at once obscure but obvious. Progressives have demanded that race, ethnicity, sexual orientation and gender preferences be paramount in nearly every walk of life, from politics to higher education, corporate industries to entertainment and media. Harris, at the time a first-term senator representing California, the most progressive state in the country, ran for the presidency in 2020. Her campaign failed spectacularly. It was so bad that she dropped out before the first primary, and even NBC News described her bid for the White House as "a mess." Yet, Biden still picked her to be his vice president. She has done nothing in the past four years to show she is ready to be president, and the prospect of her serving as commander in chief is downright scary. Her policy positions are even more progressive than Biden's. That's if you can nail down what her policies are. She seems to flip-flop as much as the next slimy politician. In 2019, she was ranked the most liberal U.S. senator in America − beating out even Bernie Sanders of Vermont and Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts. As California's attorney general, Harris earned a reputation for being tough on crime. That's not necessarily a bad thing. But a lot of conservatives and libertarians will look down on her penchant for being unusually tough on petty crimes like marijuana possession. As vice president, it's hard to say what Harris has accomplished. In 2021, Biden assigned her the job of addressing the migrant crisis at the U.S. border with Mexico. Her efforts with that task have been almost as successful as her 2020 presidential campaign. Observers in her home state of California note that Harris has lacked consistency on key issues such as public safety. What does she stand for? What can she do? Why has none of this been a problem for her political ascension? Because Harris, the first Black, South Asian and female vice president of the United States, is the trifecta of identity politics: Black, female and liberal. Harris wasn't ready to be president four years ago. The fact she polled at 3% when she dropped out of the race in 2020 is an indication of that. But the Democratic Party paired her with a much stronger (at the time) politician. Now, she'll have to do much more on her own. But she won't because she's not capable. Democrats obsessed with Trump ignored Biden's obvious flaws Democrats have been intensely focused on Donald Trump's shortcomings, real and imagined, since 2016. I'm a conservative, and I've blasted him many times. Yet, Democrats failed to see that their own candidate was inept and unqualified for the job until the whole world could see it on the debate stage last month. Harris deserves a large portion of the blame for this. Biden's inner circle had to have known for some time that he was unwell and unfit to serve a second term. As vice president, Harris had to have known it as well. But she kept quiet and helped to keep the con going − perhaps for her own gain but at least for the sake of her party. Harris helped to hide the truth about Biden If Democratic convention delegates choose Harris, voters will quickly realize she is not the best choice to lead this country. She will likely fail and fail miserably. Voters must understand this: The Democratic Party, including Vice President Harris, lied to you repeatedly, propping up a presidential candidate who had no business running for reelection, let alone leading this country. Democrats have trapped themselves in a corner with an incoherent candidate on the way out and an inept candidate they must begrudgingly support. These are their own rules. And to this, Republicans must say with a chuckle and sneer: Your terms are acceptable.

You were wrong. Own up to it. I rest my case. You have never recovered from my proverbial beatings, and now you act like a petulant child.

I schooled @CdnFox about the differences between jurisdictions in Canada. He has never recovered.

Time stands still for no man. Tyson is 58, and was just not fast enough to catch Jake.

If it's not fixed, Tyson will knock him out in less than 3 rounds.

Another misleading thread, that has nothing to do with the Democratic Party.

This is precisely how I pictured gatomontes99, as well...

WestKremlinMan has never been the sharpest tool in the shed.

So true...
