The Biden Administration and All Things Politics

Yeah, I stopped about 30 seconds in. Probably the dumbest thing I'll see today.
 

Project 2025, the conservative agenda designed for a possible second Trump administration, calls for the Justice Department to “investigate and prosecute” the top election official in Pennsylvania over the 2020 election as part of a dramatic overhaul of federal law enforcement.

It’s an unprecedented threat to a specific statewide officeholder — Pennsylvania’s Democratic election chief — in a crucial swing state where Donald Trump and his allies aggressively tried to overturn Joe Biden’s victory in 2020, and a state Trump needs to win in November to regain the presidency.

Boockvar told USA TODAY her department "absolutely" did nothing wrong, and accused the authors of Project 2025 of “taking that disinformation and conspiracy theories and elevating it to a point where it’s being used to try to dismantle our institutions of the United States of America.”

Trump has tried to separate himself from Project 2025 amid a heavy backlash against many of its more radical policy prescriptions involving expanding executive power, ending civil service protections for federal workers, and fighting what the document calls "woke culture warriors." Most of the project's authors served in the Trump administration or are otherwise tied to Trump.

Among its hard right recommendations, the plan would curtail federal civil rights enforcement and redirect the Justice Department to investigate alleged fraud in state-level voter registrations.

The document says those changes would make it easier for the federal government to prosecute Pennsylvania's top election official for the guidance that office gave counties in 2020 over ways voters could cast ballots after an elections office rejected their mail-in ballot.

"It is well past time to stop arguing over the audited, verified results of the 2020 election," Al Schmidt, Pennsylvania's current elections chief, said in a statement.

So project 2025 is still obsessed with the 2020 election being stolen. Kind of reminds me of one of the current presidential candidates.

Weird. I’ve been told that Trump has nothing to do with project 2025 and that project 2025 has nothing to do with Trump. So why would they be focusing on punishing election officials in Pennsylvania over the 2020 election? That doesn’t seem like something Trump would want to do at all. I mean, after all, Trump took the 2020 loss well. He’s totally over it right now and definitely doesn’t talk about punishing people over 2020 every single time he speaks, right?

You sir have tds and should stop regurgitating the stuff the your media tells you. Trump is completely focused on winning in 2024 and making the lives of all working class slobs, not his top campaign donors and cultural weirdos obsessed with race and sex, better.
 
Do you guys think this is accurate? Pretty crazy if it is. Texas size comparison

I wish more Americans actually read about other countries instead of just bitching about things here on social media.

How could that be? You idiots have been telling everyone that the inflation was a figment of our imaginations the last few years. You have all these neighbors with boats and big SUV’s that you hate that are enjoying the booming economy. I mean I’m not surprised that your story has suddenly changed like it does with everything else but I would think you might eventually see the contradictions yourself.

I like Kamala’s chances at the moment, and hope the convention will provide even more momentum. We could use a blue wave, and a big win for the Oval Office. The potential for tumult and chaos is certainly there.



Just over four years ago, an insurrectionist mob found each other online, descended on Washington, stormed the Capitol and threatened the vice-president with a noose. But that was the good old days.

……In Britain, the canary has sung. This summer we have witnessed something new and unprecedented. The billionaire owner of a tech platform publicly confronting an elected leader and using his platform to undermine his authority and incite violence. Britain’s 2024 summer riots were Elon Musk’s trial balloon.

He got away with it. And if you’re not terrified by both the extraordinary supranational power of that and the potential consequences, you should be. If Musk chooses to “predict” a civil war in the States, what will that look like? If he chooses to contest an election result? If he decides that democracy is over-rated? This isn’t sci-fi. It’s literally three months away.

None of this is happening in a vacuum. For a brief minute after 2016, there was an attempt to understand how these tech platforms had been used to spread lies and falsehoods – or mis- and disinformation – as we came to know them and to try to prevent it. But that moment has passed. A years-long effort by Republican operatives to politicise the entire subject of “misinformation” has won. It barely even now exists in US tech circles. Anyone who suggests it does – researchers, academics, “trust and safety” teams – are now all part of the “censorship industrial complex”.

A US congressional committee headed by Republican Jim Jordan, convinced that big tech was silencing conservative voices, went on the warpath. It subpoenaed the email history of dozens of academics and has chilled an entire field of research. Whole university departments have collapsed, including the Stanford Internet Observatory whose election integrity unit provided rapid detection and analysis in 2020.
