Why does he continue to be so wrong about Project 2025?


Bill has said that Project 2025 is nothing but a bogeyman invented by the left, yet Trump is now appointing people on his team who have advocated and even help write Project 2025. You would think for someone that has been so against Trump he would be more aware of this.

I didn't know that. Do you have credible links to support your post?

reply

I'll have to find the exact clips, but he's talked about it multiple times on Real Time and played it down.

reply

So Bill has made this claim. Has Trump?

reply

So you have no links that show Trump is appointing people to his team who have advocated and even help write Project 2025.

Bill Maher is one of those independent 'freethinkers' who runs interference for right wing lunatics and downplays their extremism because he's mad over pronouns or trans athletes.

I'm shocked he hasn't claimed to stop being a liberal yet.

reply

Hs said he's a "classic liberal" which means he's half-way to Scarborough Country.

reply


He actually is a classic liberal.

I'm pushing 70, but when I was a young man, liberals and conservatives pretty much had similar objectives but took different paths to get there or at least try. Sure, there were fundamental differences in philosophy but there was much common ground between them.

Classic liberals are dying off and being replaced by far left Marxists who can't tell you what a woman is. Once Maher's generation dies off what's left of the left won't be pretty.

"liberals and conservatives pretty much had similar objectives but took different paths to get there or at least try"

JFK mentioned that during the debate with Nixon

reply

What, like, JFK wanted to bug hotel rooms, too, just he was only doing it when Marilyn Monroe was staying at Watergate?

reply

what does that mean in non-crackhead talk?

reply

It's a joke.

You commented that JFK mentioned in a debate with Nixon that they had similar objectives but took different paths to get there.

So, I joked that JFK - like Nixon - wanted to bug the Watergate Hotel. But JFK wasn't doing it for political reasons, he would be doing it to spy on women, because JFK was a known womaniser.

I used "Marilyn Monroe" because of the almost-certain affair they had, but I could have just said "spy on women."

reply

You do have a joke in there, but setup needs some reworking.

Thanks for the explanation.

Bill is right, it’s a boogeyman, and honestly just an outright lie at this point.

"I have nothing to do with Project 2025,"I haven't read it. I don't want to read it purposely. I'm not going to read it." —Trump

reply

You say that like Trump doesn't constantly lie.

reply

Still looking for those "exact clips" huh?

Maybe you want to hold off on calling anyone else a liar.

reply

Why Maher thinks this is a leftist boogey man is beyond me. Trump leans conservative, so in setting up his administration, pretty much anyone he chooses will agree with at least some parts of Project 2025. Frankly, I was assuming by the leftist rage that Project 2025 was some sort of far right manifesto that traditional conservatives like me would distance themselves from. Imagine my surprise when I went to the site and found that this is what they are advocating for:

*Secure the border, finish building the wall, and deport illegal aliens
*De-weaponize the Federal Government by increasing accountability and oversight of the FBI and DOJ
*Unleash American energy production to reduce energy prices
*Cut the growth of government spending to reduce inflation
*Make federal bureaucrats more accountable to the democratically elected President and Congress
*Improve education by moving control and funding of education from DC bureaucrats directly to parents and state and local governments
*Ban biological males from competing in women' s sports

Now, some of those are too general for my tastes, but they are only objectives, not bills that have been sponsored. Some of those objectives are pretty straight forward actually. Maybe those behind Project 2025 have a hidden agenda, but what they're advocating for, at least publicly, will be a benefit to ALL Americans.

Maybe the hullabaloo over Project 2025 is that the left doesn't want Trump to get credit for improving the country.

I heard they also want to bring back high flow flushing toilets, The Dukes of Hazzard TV show, and make Wendy's bring back their 'Where's The Beef' commercials.

The *bastards*!!

The good old days.

Apparently Project 2025 is nothing but a bogeyman invented by the left
