Space and Fascism

I'm more concerned about Project 2025 than I am about Jewish Space Lasers

NASA has stranded astronauts Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore on the International Space Station because the spaceship that transported them and is supposed to bring them home, Boeing’s Starliner spacecraft, malfunctioned. Engineers are afraid that using the Starliner at this stage may not be able to bring the astronauts home alive.

Why are they using Boeing at this time when the company is a total clusterfuck? Doors are falling off Boeing airplanes, so why would we want to use one of their spaceships? Has NASA tried bringing the Astronauts home by booking their flights on Frontier? It couldn’t be worse.

The astronauts are expected to be in space until February but then again, if you try to depart Washington Reagan National Airport today on Frontier, you may be on the tarmac until February.

NASA considered testing Starliner with monkeys except Frontier has hired all of them as pilots. I once flew Frontier to Las Vegas and the biggest gamble I took was flying Frontier to Vegas. OK…I’ll stop.

Flying on a Boeing spaceship is almost as dangerous as voting for Donald Trump and Project 2025.

Trump has been saying a bunch of bullshit about Vice President Kamala Harris like she doesn’t love the country, she’ll wreck the economy, and she’s a communist even though Trump and most Republicans don’t know what communism is. What does Trump actually know about Harris when he doesn’t even know how to pronounce her first name? You’re running against Vice President Kamala Harris, dumbass, not Kamala the Ugandan Giant.

It just occurred to me that it’s highly possible that at some point between now and election day, the Trump Campaign will bring to one of its hate rallies, a Kamala the Ugandan Giant impersonator. Racist Trumpers are already doing this.

If Trump can lie about Harris, then let’s tell the truth about him and Project 2025. Trump says he has nothing to do with Project 2025, which is the playbook for the next Republican president to assume total power and turn our nation into a fascist authoritarian government. There are chunks of happy stuff in it, like allowing a president to declare all abortions to be murder.

Critics point out that Harris’ economic proposals will have to go through Congress first. They don’t say the same thing about Trump’s plans because Republicans plan to follow Project 2025’s playbook and enact Trump’s agenda without the pesky business of using the two other branches. If you’re a Republican, you probably think the three branches are Trump, the Heritage Foundation, and MAGA-Lardo.

One of the key authors of Project 2025 was busted by a hidden camera discussing how Trump is in on it and has to deny his connections in order to win the election. If Independent voters find out Trump is a part of this fascist plot, then they may not vote for him. Of course, if they just listen to the words that come out of Trump’s mouth, like his plans to cancel voting and the Constitution, deport millions of people, go after his enemies whom he calls “vermin,” and promise to become a dictator, then they’d already be aware of his fascist plans. Or, if they could just recall his actions of installing fake electors and trying to overturn the 2020 election through a coup staged by white nationalist insurrectionists, that could discourage them from voting too.

What’s up with voters’ memories anyway? A majority at this time believe Trump would handle the economy better than Harris, forgetting he’s the first president (sic) since Herbert Hoover to leave office with a net loss of employment.

Russell Vought, one of the masterminds of Project 2025 and who has been mentioned as a possible Chief of Staff in a future Trump administration (sic) is caught on camera saying Trump’s disavowals were merely “graduate-level politics.” He’s saying Trump is lying.

Trump disavowing Project 2025 is as legitimate as me disavowing New York pizza.

The two men Vought was talking to were secretly working for a British journalism nonprofit, the Centre for Climate Reporting.

Hidden cameras are considered unethical and a huge no-no in American journalism, but in the United Kingdom, it’s deemed fair if it’s in the public’s best interest. This secret plot to turn our nation into an authoritarian state is definitely in the public’s best interest, even for other nations.

Vought said his group, the Center for Renewing America, was secretly drafting hundreds of executive orders, regulations, and memos that would lay the groundwork for rapid action on Trump’s plans if he wins, describing his work as creating “shadow” agencies. They’re not waiting for the first day of a future Trump administration…they’ve already started. On the first day, Trump will sign hundreds of unread executive orders that have been prepared for him.

Vought claimed Trump has “blessed” his organization and “he’s very supportive of what we do.” He also claimed Trump has raised money for his group. Why would Trump be against it if he’s raising money for it?

Supporters of Project 2025 say the Left is taking it out of context but if it wasn’t so bad, then Trump wouldn’t be running away from it. Several members of his first and hopefully only administration (sic) helped write it.

There’s a website for Project 2025, but if you don’t want to wade and slog through it, read the Wikipedia page on it.

And if you don’t have time to read it all, then I’ll sum it up for you. It’s the GOP and MAGA’s version of Mein Kampf.
