More or less... and I'm not the only one. Is this supposed to be some kind of gotcha moment? You got me, good on you. Did you read it? Do you know what's in it? It's not especially controversial. Boo! Are you scared by all the rhetoric now too? OOOOoooohHHhhhh.... "we're going to de-weaponize the Federal Government by increasing accountability and oversight of the FBI and DOJ!" Spy wants accountability.... how frightful!!!! Are you another person scared of their own shadow? Stand up for what you believe in. You think socialism is good? You want to conscript people into your army? You want to redistribute wealth by coercion? Say so... don't play politics.
Trump policy is merely stolen Project 2025 policy. Trump Has Ridiculous Explanation for Copying Project 2025 Policy https://www.yahoo.com/news/trump-stupidest-defense-copying-project-151103630.html Donald Trump is continuing to hitch himself to Project 2025’s policy proposals, even after he spent months working to publicly disavow the Christian nationalist manifesto. During a campaign stop in Erie, Pennsylvania, on Sunday, the Republican presidential nominee reiterated a key talking point of the 920-page executive branch blueprint: dismantling the Department of Education. But this time, Trump offered the radical policy shift with a candid dismissal, asking the crowd, “What the hell do you have to lose?” “You know I’m gonna take the Department of Education, close it in Washington, let the states run their own education,” he said. “Very important. Because we spend more money per pupil than any other nation in the world by far, and yet we’re ranked at the bottom of every list.” Neither of those points are true. A 2023 report by the National Center for Education Statistics found that while the U.S. did spend 38 percent more per student than the average of other member countries, it still ranked behind Luxembourg, Norway, Austria, and the Republic of Korea for its per-pupil spending. And America’s education system doesn’t rank last, either—instead, it ranks twenty-second out of 41 countries, according to the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development’s Better Life Index. “So, you know the expression? What the hell do you have to lose?” Trump added, shortly before blaming the current state of America’s education system on incoming migrants. Last week, Trump shared his vision for the country’s education system without the massive federal agency guiding it. According to him, some states will “do very good,” while others will, admittedly, be “terrible.” “We’re going to have 35 like, different ones—Iowa will do good. A lot of the states will do very good. I can think of probably 30, 35 will be do—five will be OK, 10 will be OK. You’ll have four or five that will be terrible, but that’s OK, we have to control it,” Trump told 5,000 people in Indiana, Pennsylvania. “But you’ll have, you’ll have Idaho, you’ll have Idaho will do a great job, no debt, they run a great state.” Project 2025 has advanced seemingly outrageous policy positions, including dismantling wholesale staples of the executive branch such as the Department of Education. It also proposes revisiting federal approval of the abortion pill, banning pornography nationwide, placing the Justice Department under the control of the president, slashing federal funds for climate change research in an effort to sideline mitigation efforts, and increasing funding for the U.S.-Mexico border wall. In July, Trump claimed that he “knew nothing about Project 2025” and had “no idea who is behind it.” “I disagree with some of the things they’re saying and some of the things they’re saying are absolutely ridiculous and abysmal,” he wrote on Truth Social. “Anything they do, I wish them luck, but I have nothing to do with them.”
Yep, he's a real piece of work, but can probably be bought. They'll end up with a contract written so ambiguous the automation he fears will be implemented anyway, his boyz will get a decent raise, maybe another paid holiday, and of course he'll get a fat envelope for personal items. Only question is, how long it takes to get there.
It makes sense to end this before it starts. Biden has said he won't intervene which I imagine is signalling that the management side need to give it up. Dunno.
