[Aviation Pro]

It was right there in fucking black and white.

Right fucking there.

I thank the Almighty every day that I read this fucking blueprint for destroying America and did something about it before the crash.

1. Kick

[Lonestarblue]

2. And the media virtually ignored Project 2025, occasionally mentioning it but rarely reporting any details.

So now we’re living in a dystopian land where people are snatched off the street and the government deliberately crashes the economy while deciding that the biomedical and other research that has enriched the country isn’t really needed anymore.

[Deuxcents]

5. The media ignored it and TSF denied knowing anything about it

He’s the perfect up front guy as he doesn’t know shit from shineola, let alone the Constitution he swore allegiance to. He announces these principles of Project 2025 and leaves it to others to when asked about its contents. The stock market is in free fall, our tariffs are hurting the economy here and at home, multi day storms and floods going thru the middle of the country, measles are on the rise and he’s doesn’t give a damn. He’s got priorities and those are on his golf course hosting the Saudis tournament. Disgusting mo fo should be in Dover, receiving our fallen soldiers. He makes me sick

[Hekate]

6. The media I watch talked about it a lot. What they did not do was spoon-feed their audience 900 pages

I downloaded the damn thing — tho I did not read 900 pages. Did you? I did look for analysis, and there was plenty online & in the media.

They gave us all the tools we needed. Spoon-feeding, no.

[maxsolomon]

9. Don't get in the way of a DUer blaming Teh Media.

You know better!

[Hekate]

12. Seriously

[cliffside]

29. Ali Velshi spoke of it all the time on his show, he had a copy with many tabs and would go over different sections. nt

[Hekate]

30. So did Rachel, Nicolle, and for that matter Nancy Pelosi & Kamala Harris. It was hard to miss...

Every time it came up at DU over several months I myself reposted every single link I had to the document and to the several analyses — all downloadable online for absolutely freaking free.

I lose patience with those who complain that “nobody in the media” and “nobody in politics” informed us of Project 2025 and a pile of other issues. This was seriously hard to miss unless the complainer was living in a cave.

[cliffside]

31. You are so right! Ali was not the only one, admittedly I did not read the document, but it was covered ...

and I hear you about trashing all MSM media. We just need to pay attention a little more

Listening to Stephanie Ruhle tonight ...

Trump headlining $1 million a person super PAC dinner as stocks sink over tariffs
https://www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-hosts-liv-golf-fundraiser-as-stocks-sink-over-tariffs/

"As stocks continued to slide after markets opened, President Trump is speaking at a $1 million dollar-a-person candlelight dinner Friday at Mar-a-Lago, according to an invitation reviewed by CBS News. The fundraiser is for MAGA Inc, a super PAC that supports Mr. Trump.

MAGA Inc. can raise unlimited money but is barred from coordinating directly with Mr. Trump's campaign arm. The fine print for the Friday's invitation says the president is attending as a guest speaker and not soliciting donations.

Another $1 million-a-head MAGA Inc. dinner is scheduled for April 24 in Washington, according to the invitation. Donors can "co-host" that dinner for $2.5 million or become a "host" for $5 million...."

32. The corruption is enough to gag a goat

[Qutzupalotl]

3. Curious now, what did you do about it before the crash?

If you don't mind sharing, please do. TIA

[Aviation Pro]

15. Moved my investments to deferred annuities

They provide a safe haven and protection from almost every economic calamity except for a Black Swan event.

Nobody has any control over the latter.

[Nimble_Idea]

17. SOLD IT ALL. Made out like a bandit a month after the election!

hope yall did the same!

[in2herbs]

4. I have not read 2025 but have a question: These oligarchs want break the country up into their own

mini kingdoms. Does 2025 address how these mini kingdoms, each under the rule of a different oligarch, will operate? Who will do the labor in each mini kingdom to maintain services? Where will the garbage be dumped? Will each kingdom provide its own electric power? Will grocery and other delivery trucks be allowed travel in the kingdom? Will people have jobs in their own kingdom or will they have to seek employment elsewhere? Will laborers be allowed to live in the mini kingdom?

18. Reminds me of that "Galt's Gulch" cartoon.

Panaceas and utopias rarely turn out as planned. Be careful what you wish for...

7. Insurrectionist Peter Navarro wrote this chapter🤬

Navarro sought to overturn the 2020 presidential election and advanced conspiracy theories of election fraud and in February 2022 was subpoenaed twice by Congress. Navarro refused to comply and was referred to the Justice Department. On June 2, 2022, a grand jury indicted him on two counts of contempt of Congress. On September 7, 2023, Navarro was convicted on both counts, and on January 25, 2024, he was sentenced to four months in jail and fined $9,500, becoming the first former White House official imprisoned on a contempt-of-Congress conviction. He served his sentence at the minimum-security camp inside of the Miami Federal Correctional Institute. Navarro was released on July 17, 2024. He is a contributor to Project 2025. On December 4, 2024, Trump announced that Navarro would serve as the senior counselor for trade and manufacturing in his second term. He took office on January 20, 2025.

11. My immediate thought: Peter Effing Navarro.

We’re really using only the best minds, eh?

8. K & R & Bookmarked!

[FoggyLake]

10. Seems like they made it super boring so that no one would read it.

[littlemissmartypants]

14. There are ...

"Explainers" on the net. P2025 "for dummies" is what I'd call them, like the well known books.

Here's the link to the progress tracker if you're interested:

https://www.project2025.observer/?sort=agency-asc

[slightlv]

16. This isn't complete, tho...

it doesn't list all the agencies, and the search terms pull up "none" when searching for Social Security, etc... Is there another section to search?

[Aviation Pro]

19. Social Security is mentioned once in passing in the full document

They kept that part silent.

[slightlv]

26. I thought so... they don't want to wake that dragon...

but with some of us missing checks already, that time is passed..

[littlemissmartypants]

22. Did you look at...

The actual table of contents for P2025? That's what the tracker is based on.

[defacto7]

20. Where can I find the whole original document?

I'm good with boring.

25. Thank you.

A little light reading. Ugh.

[FoggyLake]

21. Awesome, thanks.

[littlemissmartypants]

13. Only 50% done with "commerce" ...

According to the P2025 progress tracker...

24. Trump said Buffet endorsed tariffs. I guess he heard the quote in the plan.

Trump's tariff taxes are to enforce his pay to play. He's forcing companies to crawl to him and grovel. Then he will remove the tariff from them, and the people not following what is going on will think that he improved the economy.

[DingleBerryNW]

27. Project 2025

I, too, read the entire content of Project 2025.

As a member of the LGBTQIA community, we are to be eliminated. We will not be silenced!!

[TommyT139]

28. Yep.

I tell queer folks to look at what the Trumpists have done already -- which seemed impossible just months ago -- then look at what else seems that same sort of inconceivable -- and to shift those policies and goals into the "high likelihood" category.

"Oh, but they won't send people who make pornography to jail!" (page 5 and following)....They certainly will send some "pornographers" to jail, which will effectively silence entire populations of Americans.

And by "pornographers," I mean (using the P2025 definitions) not just folks who shoot videos for personal use, or consensual adult content -- but also people like my friend, an award-winning author of entirely non-sexual young adult fiction, with queer characters discovering themselves in a world that still has, against all odds, magic in it.

[UpInArms]

33. I guess that there will be far less Chinese made MAGA products to be had

That may be the only upside to all of this
