Funny you mention that considering it’s been said by the man behind the ceremony that the scene was supposed to be the feast of Dionysius. https://www.today.com/today/amp/rcna163929
You keep bringing up Project 2025, but I have my doubts that Trump would be able to carry it out as effectively as he wants because it’d require A LOT of people to work alongside him. And I don’t believe he has that level of support.
The word "rational" is really doing a lot of heavy lifting here lmao
Trump definitely knows that Project 2025 exists, but keep in mind he's a malignant narcissist: he will do as much or as little of Project 2025 as suits him in the immediate moment. So, when he says that Project 2025 doesn't have any sway over him, he's actually not lying. He does not have deeply held policy beliefs; he's backed down on things before, especially if a celebrity (particularly a younger, attractive female) is willing to spend time with him to "talk things over." He's also been open about accepting bribes from oil companies and the Saudis. The right-wing power brokers know this; their best hope is that they can control him more in a second term than they did in the first because they know his levers.
Yes, he praised it in a 2022 speech

Right-leaning publications will publish anything that makes their side look good; same applies to the other end of the spectrum. It’s easy to manipulate poll data or conduct your own biased poll. WSJ is basically if the NYT was Fox News. People with an ounce of familiarity with media bias know this. It’s not rocket science?
I know that you guys think all right wing outlets lie and take bribes. I'm just fishing to see if you think leftist media outlets are pillars of honesty, or if you think all media is corrupt. I have to pretend to be half retarded in here because it's hard to get a sincere answer otherwise.
That's one thing I respect about MSNBC, they're flat out open about their bias so there's no dishonest attempts to manipulate people by pretending to be neutral.
There is a deep distrust of the media at large in left-leaning circles as well. A lot of this comes from the left's belief that the media favors reporting on Trump because they make a lot of money off him; there's also the issue that Jeff Bezos now owns the Washington Post, Elon Musk owns X, Mark Zuckerberg has praised Trump, and there has been some behind-the-scenes editorial decisions at the New York Times and NBC News (specifically MSNBC) that many think favor the right-wing. Increasingly, liberals who are interested in politics are moving to sources such as MeidasTouch and Bryan Tyler Cohen. Incidentally, The Young Turks, DailyKos, and Democracy Now are not heavily watched by liberals, but rather people on the far left, such as those who openly call themselves democratic socialists and are more likely to follow politicians such as Cornel West and Jill Stein.
I kind of assumed Vance was the safe pick to begin with. Almost everyone else on the list is arguably easier to attack. The only other options I really liked were Flynn and Ramaswamy, and both of them would probably be getting dragged harder than Vance is right now. Ramaswamy would get similar criticisms to Javier Milei and Flynn might actually start cutting off people's heads and putting them on spikes.
I can't seem to find this post on Truth Social. Is there an archive of it?
Flynn is a literal QAnon grifter (that other QAnon "prophets" have said is a grifter, lol).
It’s a shitpost, didn’t double check. However he’s still pissed at Fox News
last week, once she basically came out as the nominee, she really close the gap trump had against biden. hell, he's refusing to debate her now. I think he's getting scared now
