I closed MSNBC examines Project 2025, part 4 with "I might return with Part 5 tomorrow. Stay tuned." I am, but it's not the climate change feature I promised in part 3." I'm now saving that for a part 6. Instead, I have some good news: Trump World ‘panicking’ as Project 2025 gets on the radar of voters.
“Trump does not want people to know about the entire vanguard of extremist weirdos around him—and what their plans are when he governs,” says Chris Hayes on voters finding out about the far-right agenda that is Project 2025.MSNBC uploaded the above video last night. Since I started composing this entry, it uploaded As Trump distances himself from Project 2025, key influencers deliver a warning.
While Donald Trump claims he “knows nothing” about Project 2025, Taraji P. Henson gives a clear warning of its threats. Frank Figliuzzi and Jill Wine-Banks weigh in."I know nothing about Project 2025" — Convicted criminal Hoover Cleveland is doing his best Sergeant Schultz impression about Project 2025.
That means what John Oliver, MSNBC, and bloggers like me have been doing is working. Good. That encourages me to keep it up. As Tom Sullivan at Digby's Hullabaloo says, Time To Work The Eye.
As for Hoover Cleveland (un)truthing "I have no idea who is behind [Project 2025]," check out MSNBC's list of chapter authors.
Both Frank Figliuzzi and Jill Wine-Banks expressed their concerns about what Project 2025 would do to the Department of Justice. Wine-Banks fellow "sister-in-law" Joyce Vance previewed those concerns in yesterday morning's Trump supporters' Project 2025 outlines 'dark and anti-democratic' vision for the U.S.: Vance.
Some top MAGA supporters in the Heritage Foundation have outlined their plans for a future Trump administration, known as "Project 2025". Former U.S. attorney Joyce Vance joins Richard Lui to provide more insight on it, saying it's a "map" to punish former President Trump's enemies.I share Vance's concerns. I also think his and his supporters' complaints about weaponizing the criminal justice system are projection, the Right's favorite defense mechanism.
I leave my readers with the following list Digby embedded in Incomplete Cheat Sheet.
I'm taking a break from Project 2025 to post the Sunday entertainment feature. My choice right now is between Tiana's Bayou Adventure or the BET Awards. Decisions, decisions. Any preference from my readers?
Facebook is marking posts about Project 2025 with a Fact Check by a Right Wing Rag, The Dispatch.
ReplyDeleteI shared AllSides asking Is Facebook’s Moderation Policy Biased? Here are Meta’s Fact Checking Partners to the Citizen Connect (formerly Coffee Party USA) Facebook page and got a lot of comments like yours. The irony is that AllSides answered yes to its question because the article declared all of the fact-checking organizations were left, lean left, or center; none were lean right or right, including The Dispatch Fact Check. However, AllSides rates The Dispatch as lean right, which is consistent with its founder, Jonah Goldberg, being a Never Trumper conservative. The reason for that descrepancy is that AllSides is rating The Dispatch Fact Check separately from The Dispatch proper and The Dispatch Fact Check is actually trying to be unbiased. So my answer to AllSides' question is no, not really, and if it is biased by not including the right, good.
