“The Project 2025 plan is not a game. Look it up!”​

Henson appeared in a recorded segment with Harris. The vice president warned against Republicans launching a “full-on attack on our fundamental freedoms,” such as voting rights, reproductive freedoms and LGBTQ+ rights. “The majority of us believe in freedom and equality,” Harris said, “but these extremists, as they say, they are not like us.”

“Did you know that it is now a crime to be homeless? Pay attention,” Henson said during a speech she delivered during the live portion of the show, referring to a recent Supreme Court ruling allowing cities to ticket or arrest homeless people for sleeping in public. Henson then referenced a Republican-backed plan for the next presidential administration. “The Project 2025 plan is not a game. Look it up!” she urged the audience, leaving many people wondering what exactly Project 2025 is and why we should be worried about it.

Project 2025, also known as the Presidential Transition Project, is an extensive proposal of policies put forth by the Heritage Foundation, a top conservative think tank with input from dozens of conservative groups. Project 2025, which the Heritage Foundation has put forward in the form of a 920-page document published online, is a plan for a right-wing agenda to be put in place during a second Trump term. Critics argue that the plan would create an authoritarian presidency, taking power away from the other branches of government and empowering Trump to enforce an ultraconservative agenda throughout the country. Many conservatives, meanwhile, have embraced the plan.

While there was lots of entertainment during the 2024 BET Awards, host Taraji P. Henson got political and very serious during the broadcast. Henson called out a far-reaching Republican plan for a second Trump term, appearing with Vice President Kamala Harris as well as delivering a passionate...

Folks better wake up, the right is working to take us back to the 1950s.

Why do you think McConnell used Trump to stack the courts in this country.

At least we know TRUMP! doesn't have anything to do with it.

Well, she was a stupid, crazy bitch and had it coming.

I admire the restraint of the Capitol Police.

Be consistent…. Either you think suspects should ignore or fight police commands and instructions and they risk getting shot by the officers, or the suspects comply and no one gets shot.

Here’s some more reform…. Don’t go after the officer’s service revolver.

Not at all, guy.

I have absolutely no problem with officers defending themselves against valid threats.

Babbit was part of an angry mob screaming for the blood of Congress. She was a valid threat.

The kid playing with a toy in a park wasn't a threat.
The kid with his hands up wasn't a threat.
The guy in his living room eating ice cream wasn't a threat.
The guy who was already handcuffed and on the ground wasn't a threat.

The Heritage Foundation is not the government or is it part of Trump's campaign. It's an independent organization with a vision for America not unlike the left's homosexual lobby that would kidnap children without parental consent and castrate them. The written version of Project 2025 that we see on the left wing blogs wasn't written by the Heritage Foundation or any right wing organization. It's left wing propaganda spin designed to scare the weak minded so-called undecided voters.

 

[Superbadbrutha]

Since Trump put the decisions of abortion to the states. I know as president he cannot outlaw abortion. I'm sorry you're too stupid to realize that, but thanks for proving you're a good liberal. You do as you're told to, instead of thinking on your own.

You're one of those cult idiots, the states were the reason Jim Crow ran rampant, the states were the reason interracial marriage was against the law.

 

[Superbadbrutha]

What reading it does is allow us to know that you are simply not portraying the story in an accurate manner.

Where am I inaccurate Trump Humper?

 

[Superbadbrutha]

At least we know TRUMP! doesn't have anything to do with it.

He has everything to do with it.

 

[hadit]

He has everything to do with it.

Except for supporting it.

The guy in his living room eating ice cream wasn't a threat.
The guy who was already handcuffed and on the ground wasn't a threat.

I agreed that Babbit was a threat. I also agree Michael Brown was a threat and that his hands being up saying “don’t shoot” is a myth. The toy gun, ice cream in living room, and guy already on the ground are tragic and rare.

 

[Superbadbrutha]

Except for supporting it.

Yea he supports it, just like the other Trump Humpers

 

[hadit]

Yea he supports it, just like the other Trump Humpers

He's publicly stated he doesn't. Do you know what he thinks better than he does?

 

[Superbadbrutha]

He's publicly stated he doesn't. Do you know what he thinks better than he does?

He lies every time he opens his mouth, so what?

 

[hadit]

He lies every time he opens his mouth, so what?

IOW, you know better what he thinks than he does? Good to know.

You know, I keep telling people those foil helmets don't grant mindreading powers, but here we are...

He is a lying POS, so how do you know that he believes that? Oh that's right you are a cult member, so you believe every thing he says.

Folks better wake up, the right is working to take us back to the 1950s.

Why do you think McConnell used Trump to stack the courts in this country.

And now, the actual explanation....

So, I decided to read it. Listen, it wasn’t easy. But the chances that Biden, or any other person fearmongering about it, understands what’s in it, is highly doubtful.

For starters, most of the Project 2025 “mandate” is just a compendium of long-held conservative wishes for government.

The Associated Press warns the effort champions a “dramatic expansion of presidential power.” Yet, nothing in Project 2025 is even on par with Biden’s unconstitutional loan “forgiveness” plan. The alleged presidential abuses the media lays out are well within the president’s power. They’re just policies Democrats happen to dislike.

Project 2025, we are warned, suggests the firing of as many as 50,000 federal workers — which is well within the purview of the president. It will never happen, unfortunately.


Project 2025 suggests eliminating the Department of Education and its “woke-dominated system of public schools.” Conservatives have been promising to get rid of the Department of Education since Ronald Reagan first ran for the presidency. It will never happen.

Project 2025 suggests prohibiting the FBI from “fighting misinformation and disinformation.” Great! The state shouldn’t be in the business of dictating speech. Not only do bureaucrats have no monopoly on truth; they are highly prone to abusing power. This would not have been controversial even a decade ago.

Moreover, curbing the DOJ’s efforts is limiting executive power.

Project 2025 also suggests deactivating FBI investigations that are “contrary to the national interest.” The Department of Justice — now engaged in lawfare against Democrats’ main political rivals, parents, and pro-life protesters among others — exists within the executive branch. It is always presumably acting in the national interest.


Project 2025 also proposes ending the “war on fossil fuels.” This, too, has been a mainstream GOP position since Democrats began openly promising to dismantle our energy economy. If voters don’t like it, they can vote of the party that promises“carbon pollution-free power sector by 2035.”

“Project 2025 is not a game, it’s white Christian nationalism,” the star of “The Avengers” and budding Christian theologian Mark Ruffalo warns. “It is the Sharia Law of the ‘Christian’ crazy people who aren’t Christian at all but want to control every aspect of your life through their narrow and exclusionary interpretation of Christ’s egalitarian, inclusive, and kindly teachings.”

Project 2025, you may be surprised to learn, does not feature a single mention of “Jesus” or “Christ.” It does champion long-held social conservative positions on religious freedom, abortion, marriage, and so on.

I Couldn't Find A Single 'Christian Nationalist' Policy In Project 2025

The Heritage Foundation's Project 2025 playbook isn't perfect, but it's also not the blueprint for authoritarianism. Far from it.

He is a lying POS, so how do you know that he believes that? Oh that's right you are a cult member, so you believe every thing he says.

And here you are, picking and choosing what to believe that he says. If he stood up and said he supports project 2025, you'll insist that he does because he said so himself. At this point, he's distanced himself from it, so you'll have to project your feelz on him instead of what he says.

You were not supposed to notice any of that.

I believe that the consensus here is that you are a lying POS, so there is that.
