Project 2025 ex-director accuses Trump campaign advisers of ‘malpractice’

Rightwing criticism of Trump’s campaign staff has grown in recent weeks as the former president has sought to at least appear to moderate his position on some policy proposals and issues, including reproductive rights.

While there has been little direct criticism of Trump himself, a #FireLaCivita hashtag trended briefly on social media.

#Dans, who served for two years in the White House under Trump,
spearheaded work at the conservative #Heritage #Foundation thinktank that produced #Project2025.

The 922-page tome proposes an array of radical plans to reshape government – such as replacing tens of thousands of career civil servants with Trump loyalists, abolishing the education department and drastically restricting abortion and contraception.

The document has been described as a manifesto for Trump’s presidency,
and #Kevin #Roberts, president of the Heritage Foundation, said in a podcast that the project would herald “a second revolution that would be #bloodless if the left allows it to be”.

As criticism grew, Trump eventually responded by claiming to disown the plan,
falsely stating he did not know its architects
– even though most used to work for him and he gave the keynote address to their annual conference
– and calling its suggestions “ridiculous and abysmal”.

LaCivita described the project as
“a pain in the ass”
at the Republican national conventionin Milwaukee.

A New York Times/CNN poll found 75% of American voters had heard of Project 2025,
while 63% strongly opposed its contents.

To kick off #Gamescom month, I played some #SteamDemos of games from #IndieArenaBooth in advance, focusing on titles that are going to release soon. (In general, if a game strikes your fancy, ALWAYS make sure to check the news posts on #Steam; some devs take their demos offline shortly before/after the release.)
This #NewInAugust spotlight belongs to:

#Endzone2
#CloserTheDistance
#Preserve
#Bloodless

1/5

The Steam banner of Endzone 2. You can see a panorama of a post-apocalyptic landscape, featuring a derelict highway reaching across a valley where a river runs through. The hills around are overgrown with trees and vegetation, and on a hill to the right of the title in the middle, there are two settlers wearing makeshift protection wear.
The Steam banner of Closer The Distance. A red-haired, bearded man is sitting in front of a small cottage, playing the guitar while a dog rests beside him. In the background, you can see other cottages as well as the sea in the far back. The title is located in the top-left corner.
The Steam banner of Preserve. You can see a landscape made of hexagonal tiles on the right, featuring a river springing from a mountain, a forest, a meadow, and a fox chasing after some butterflies. The background consists of a blue sky with white clouds, and the title is located at the top left.
The Steam banner of Bloodless. The colors are entirely monochrome, with the exception of red. You can see a woman with red bracers and a raised fist on the left, and a samurai in armor with a drawn katana on the right. In the background, slightly more darkened, you can see the portrait of the shogun. The title is located at the bottom in the middle, consisting of English letters as well as Japanese characters.

Americans’ lack of understanding of their own history adds to the turmoil of today 😬

The indictments against King 👑 George in the #DeclarationofIndependence could just easily be applied to #Trump

The #SupremeCourt granted #Trump an extraordinary level of immunity from prosecution, described by dissenting Justice Sonia #Sotomayor as elevating the president to “a #King above the law”

The day after #HeritageFoundation #KevinRoberts said:

“We are in the process of the 2nd #AmericanRevolution, which will remain #Bloodless if the left allows it to be”

Text Shot: In this disturbing election season, we may seek assurance from the lessons of history, but risk looking at the wrong histories. After his disastrous debate performance, in which he looked weak and sounded incoherent, some have pointed to parallels between President Joe Biden and historically weak incumbents who faced internal or third-party challengers and lost after one term. Of course, Biden’s opponent, merely three years younger, is considerably more incoherent. During the pandemic he suggested injecting bleach as a Covid cure; in a Fourth of July speech, he praised the American revolutionary army because “in June of 1775 . . . it took over the airports”. But he blusters in a loud hectoring tone, so people think he’s strong. Americans’ lack of understanding of their own history adds to the political chaos we’re encountering right now

⬆️ 3 #FalseHopes

Emboldened by corrupt #SCOTUS decision on #PresidentialImmunity & FALSE hopes of #AmericanMonarchy under #Trump, #HeritageFoundation just fired opening salvo of #SecondAmericanRevolution based on another FALSE hope that it would be #bloodless — like the #GloriousRevolution that put William III of Orange on the #British Throne.

Knowing THAT hope is false, it is openly threatening #Democrats with #bloodshed, again FALSELY hoping to #intimidate us with its own #BrunswickManifesto.

#HeritageFoundation president #KevinRoberts celebrates #SupremeCourt #immunity decision: “We are in the process of the #SecondAmericanRevolution, which will remain #bloodless if the #Left allows it to be”

This sounds like the #BrunswickManifesto from 1792 during the #FrenchRevolution.

Only it is threatening that if the Foundation-aligned #Fascist #AmericanRoyalty were harmed, then Americans would see #bloodshed.

It is clearly intended to intimidate #Democrats into submission
