A conservative plan for Donald Trump’s potential transition into the presidency calls for dozens of prisoners to be executed, according to HuffPost. An 887-page plan by Project 2025, led by the ultra-conservative Heritage Foundation, says that if elected, Trump should make a concerted effort to execute the remaining 40 prisoners on death row. The section’s author, attorney Gene Hamilton, advised that Trump “do everything possible to obtain finality” on the current list of people until Congress forces them to stop. Hamilton is the vice president of America Legal First, a group of former Trump lawyers bent on attacking “woke” companies, headed by Stephen Miller. Trump’s approach to the death penalty stands in stark contrast to that of President Joe Biden, who has openly opposed the death penalty, but done little to move forward legislation to reform or abolish the practice since entering office.

For those of you not in the know Project 2025 is Republicans plan to turn the USA into an authoritarian state.

    We’re both doing now. That’s how this tango works.

    I pointed out Democrats are not particularly strategic or serious when it comes to wielding both the legislature and the presidency, you didn’t have a response to that, here we are

      Once again, blaming others for your actions. That’s not going to work here because we’re not the idiots you think we are.

      If you don’t like that your bs isn’t accepted here, leave. Continuing to throw tantrums about it won’t gain you any sympathy.

        Really, though, do you think Biden has the political willpower to pull enough swing states? People tend to vote how they feel; keep the incumbent if they’re happy, kick 'em out if they’re not.

        The conservatives seem to think they have this one in the bag, they’re already outlining their policy plans, as this article highlights.

          You already let the mask slip, troll. Do you think we all have amnesia and forgot, or are you just an AI bot, so you’ve slipped back into the act?

          This sounds like a script, lol

            Well, I admit I’m enjoying this on several levels. On the one hand, it’s funny to collect downvotes. Half the time, it works like a little ticker that says, “Someone has acknowledged what you said, but doesn’t have the time or capacity to reply

            On the other hand, I do genuinely enjoy talking about politics. I’ve been following US elections since I was in middle school. I like to remind people to think about more than this narrow view of this specific election; the reporting and posting and commenting all tends to have such a very short-term memory for these things.

              So, you’ve admitted to both trolling and wonton narcissism— of course you still believe you’ve accomplished something here.

              Acting like a child throwing a tantrum with an overinflated sense of self-importance. And you’re proud of that, lol. Do you also have your mommy congratulate you on your poops? Lol

                im just typing

                but sure, i’ll cop to those labels, if you like. One Trolling, Nacissistic screed, mon sieur;

                Let’s talk about the Obama administration! What a campaign they ran, and what a voter mandate it got them to boot! Can you imagine if they actually used that mandate? If Obama had actually closed Gitmo and pulled out of Afghanistan, like he had said he would. The lives that would have been saved, the blood unspilled; it’s beyond calculable.

                And what was his legislative achievement, for all that mandate could have done? He passed the Affordable Healthcare Act. A bill modeled on proposals made by the Heritage Foundation. The very same Heritage Foundation that’s giving us Project 2025. Imagine that.

                  Here’s another: deflection. Once again, you attack others rather than face the consequences of your actions.

                  So predictable.

                  Are you just copy and pasting from a script or from ChatGPT?

                    i’m talking about the article, referencing things in it. Do you often classify conversation as ‘deflection’?
