Mike Johnson says if Trump wins and Republicans expand their House majority and take the Senate, he has already spoken with Trump about making “big radical changes,”“aggressive changes” to the govt in first 100 days.

Mikey "Blood on His Hands" Moses Johnson is a power hungry lunatic.

Listen to the enthusiasm in his voice!

President Biden must win in November!

We've got to keep these Christian Nationalist freaks as far away from positions of political power as possible!

Project 2025 (officially the Presidential Transition Project) is a collection of policy proposals to reshape the executive branch of the U.S. federal government in the event of a Republican victory in the 2024 U.S. presidential election.[2][better source needed] Established in 2022, the project seeks to recruit tens of thousands of conservatives to Washington, D.C., to replace existing federal civil service workers which Republicans characterize as the "deep state", to further the objectives of the next Republican president.[3] Although the project cannot promote a specific presidential candidate, many contributors have close ties to Donald Trump and the Trump 2024 presidential campaign.[4] The plan would perform a swift restructuring of the executive branch under a maximalist version of the unitary executive theory — a theory proposing the president of the United States has absolute power over the executive branch — upon inauguration.[5][6]
The development of the plan is led by the The Heritage Foundation, an American conservative think tank, in collaboration with over 100 partners including Turning Point USA led by Charlie Kirk; the Conservative Partnership Institute including former Trump Chief of Staff Mark Meadows as senior partner; the Center for Renewing America led by former Trump-appointee Office of Management and Budget Director Russell Vought; and America First Legal led by former Trump Senior Advisor Stephen Miller.[7][8]

Project 2025 envisions widespread changes across the entire government, particularly with regard to economic and social policy and the role of the federal government and federal agencies. The plan proposes slashing U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) funding, dismantling the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security, gutting environmental and climate change regulations to favor fossil fuel production, and eliminating the cabinet Departments of Education and Commerce.[9] Citing an anonymous source, The Washington Post reported in November 2023, prior to the project's release, that Project 2025 includes immediately invoking the Insurrection Act of 1807 to deploy the military for domestic law enforcement and directing the DOJ to pursue Trump adversaries.[10] Project Director Paul Dans, a former Trump administration official, said in September 2023 that Project 2025 is "systematically preparing to march into office and bring a new army, aligned, trained, and essentially weaponized conservatives ready to do battle against the deep state."[11]

Project 2025 consists largely of a book of policy recommendations titled Mandate for Leadership: The Conservative Promise and an accompanying personnel database open for submissions. There is also an online course called the Presidential Administration Academy, and a guide to developing transition plans. Reactions to the plan included variously describing it as authoritarian, an attempt by Trump to become a dictator, and a path leading the United States towards autocracy, with several experts in law criticizing it for violating current constitutional laws that would undermine the rule of law and the separation of powers.[9] Additionally, some conservatives and Republicans also criticized the plan, for example in relation to climate change.[12] The Mandate states that "freedom is defined by God, not man."[13]

GOTV!

[brer cat]

1. That is terrifying! They plan to destroy America and replace it with

trump and Christian Nationalists. My old body is largely worn out and arthritic, but I have drug myself out to march for our reproductive freedom and to join March for Our Lives. My efforts are rather pitiful, but bodies on the street are imo more important than just keyboard warriors. I also think it is important for younger people to know that my generation hasn't forgotten how important peaceful protest can be or left it up to them. I will fight on as long as I can walk.

Thanks for the post, pants. We need to be informed, as gruesome as it is.

[murielm99]

3. Your efforts are not pitiful. Thank you

for those efforts.

I have had some health problems lately so I get it. Sometimes I am out on the street with help. A friend or my husband takes my arm. I sit in a wheelchair. If I can't make it at all, I make phone calls or write letters. You are doing great. We need you.

[brer cat]

4. Thank you, muriel. You have dealt with much more than I have,

and you don't stop. I think if I continue to attend marches, I will need to get a rolling walker with a seat so that I can easily stop and rest.

[ColinC]

2. Those words might sound nice to a lot of swing voters, so I hope we counter it with similar language. "Big change"

Is a meaningless but powerfully attractive catchphrase to a lot of people.

[calimary]

5. Um... sounds like you're getting a little bit ahead of yourself, Johnson.

[Dem2theMax]

6. Should not have read this directly before going to bed.

One of two things will now happen.
Nightmares, or I won't be able to sleep at all.

I will never understand the idiots who support him.
I fear the hell that is coming if he gets in office again.

As for the media, they should be on the rooftops, screaming this from bull horns. Non-Stop.

[lindysalsagal]

7. Fascism completely controlling everything. Handmaid's tale.

Women will lose all rights including the vote. This is real. This is not political fear mongering.

[HandmaidsTaleUntold]

8. This Is The New Reality 100%

[lostnfound]

9. Great list of groups

Wonder how many of them have sex and bribery scandals at or near the very top.

[calimary]

13. Might be fun to look into it a little.

You don’t get a list that long, of groups at that level of political strategerie, without digging up a few - um - anomalies. And power-hungry scumbuckets lurking just below the surface.

Wonder what might turn up if one scratches that surface…

[bucolic_frolic]

10. They'll have to close the borders and airports to stem the Exodus

[Conjuay]

19. the flow of 'illegals'

will reverse direction. it would be Americans heading to Mexico.

[OldBaldy1701E]

21. They will just declare martial law and refuse to allow anyone near an airport or a border. (n/t)

[TxGuitar]

29. Good to have a second passport.

Irish passport opens up the EU for us, should the worst case become reality.

[DFW]

11. On the other hand, if Democrats take the House, and keep the Senate and the White House

Mike Johnson and all those hate groups can all go into the desert and smolder for a while. Being Bible Thumpers, I don’t think forty years is an unreasonable expectation. For the rest of the country, it would be a welcome relief.

If Johnson gets his nightmare scenario, well, my US-based daughter has kept her German passport current, and has procured German citizenship for her sons.

[70sEraVet]

15. How far we've fallen in only 80 years -- to consider fleeing the US for Germany.....

to escape a fascist government.

[DFW]

16. For all its lingering European defects, Germany was one of our successes

Instead of letting Germany rebuild from former structures, as the Russians did in their sector, while realizing we couldn’t eradicate all former Nazis, we kept a firm steady hand on how West Germany was rebuilt, and remade it into a British style parliamentary democracy, and built in structures that inhibited a rebirth of the old strongman-at-the-top National Socialist/Socialist/Imperial structures of the past that led to repression and war. The coalitions of the recent past have been unwieldy, but at the same time proof that democracy is holding. Merkel’s four terms as Chancellor proved that a calm, reasonable steady hand at the top works better than either an uncompromising party-leader-for-life, or a let’s-do-nothing bureaucrat.

The postwar anti-militarist sentiment remains strong in western Germany-even much of the east is catching on-and religious dominance is low. That’s the way the people like it here, and that’s why Germany has immigration issues. People LIKE the stability here, despite the crowding and high costs, and inevitable inefficiencies. When top politicians in the USA start mouthing sentiments that remind Germans of what started their worst episode a century ago, they start to get very nervous, and rightly so.

I realize that Johnson and Trump couldn’t care less what their rantings sound like in European ears, but there are 500 million Europeans (and Canadians) who do care, and hope they won’t be forced by the American Extremist Right to do anything drastic about it.

[bdamomma]

27. Are we going to

let this happen to us????? Really, having our country torn away from us??? Are we better than this???

[Roy Rolling]

12. The list is long

Like clogging the courts, loser zealots think a plethora of names will intimidate the opposition and establish their own credibility—it’s commercial branding language, the method that’s worked well for Republicans since the 1980s.

But to those who speak the language, the cards play themselves.

Brand each one of those organizations as supporting all of the 2025 bullshit language. Make those corporate shill and fake organizations speak and defend themselves. It separates the terrorist leaders from the groups who support fascism, but only do it because they think their customers demand it.

Then, boycott, expose, shame, and brand the remaining hardcore zealots as the true “enemy of the people”. It’s Branding 101. 😏

[calimary]

14. Yep. Branding 101.

They’re probably expecting to overwhelm us. They don’t see the angry giant that just might be starting to awaken.

[maxrandb]

17. I am working on identifying what corporations, businesses and individuals are associated with this fascist crap

I get "pooh-poohed" for encouraging it, but the ONLY thing that "motivates" these people is MONEY! It's 50 years past the time we should stop spending money at these businesses and corporations.

It's pretty fucking simple.

Nothing will change. The racism, fascism, misogyny, hatred and white supremacy...NONE OF IT...will change, unless and until we make racism, fascism, misogyny, hatred and white supremacy unprofitable to the corporations, businesses and individuals that fund and enable it.

It's either a boycott now, or a General Strike later, but there is only one thing that will cause a change in behavior for those folks, and that change will only occur when their behavior significantly impacts their money.

It's ridiculous to think that decency, compassion, empathy, morals, values, ethics, or "love of democracy" is EVER going to "motivate" them to change their support of racism, fascism, misogyny, hatred and white supremacy.. The only way they will abandon their racism, fascism, misogyny, hatred and white supremacy, is if their support of racism, fascism, misogyny, hatred and white supremacy, negatively impacts their bottom line.

[OldBaldy1701E]

23. To admit this is to admit all of it is about money.

They won't do that (out loud) because that would create a situation where people would start questioning the very reason that money is power. That would lead to some very bad times for most business in this country. Not to mention the entire 'wealthy class' would be up in arms about anyone questioning their 'right to power'. It is all a joke and the sooner we stop worshiping that green piece of paper, the better the entire country will be.

I feel you, because I get grief about this position all the time. And, then I watch our society falls a bit further thanks to the loss of humans as anything worth our time. Ironic, isn't it?

[maxrandb]

30. It's not only about money, it's about power as well

I keep pointing this out. In 1980, I was a Stock Clerk at a Big Bear Grocery Store in Columbus, OH. I made $12.60 an hour, time and a half for overtime, double-time on Sundays and Holidays, and even got 8 hours of pay for my birthday.

The owners of Big Bear were still immensely wealthy.

$12.60 an hour in 1980, would equal $96K a year in today's money. Any full-time Stock Clerk at Kroger making $96K a year today?

Immense wealth isn't enough for today's CEOs. They want it ALL!

That's what has changed in this country since the RAY-Gun revolution. We no longer value labor, we just value wealth.

Anyway, left that job in June 1980 to join the Navy. Retired in Apr 2010. Served under Carter, Reagan, Bush I, Clinton, Bush II and Obama.

Watched the Middle Class get absolutely FUCKING destroyed by trickle-down bullshit.

[OldBaldy1701E]

32. Yep. Power is money and vice versa these days. (n/t)

[BlueWaveNeverEnd]

18. most of those changes will land on women

[Vinca]

20. Mike's been sniffing glue again. Didn't he notice the ALABAMA election last week?

[Biophilic]

24. May they keep talking and talking and telling us who they are and what they want.

For many of us the first time telling us who they are wasn't enough. Sometimes the 10th or 100th time hasn't been enough, but if they keep talking perhaps most of us will get the message. People need to know who the republicans really are and really want because they are scary as all get out.

[StarryNite]

25. Kick

[dalton99a]

26. The little prick is highly motivated and dangerous.

[JohnSJ]

28. and what will you do mickey when Biden wins the White House, and the Democrats control both the Senate and the House you

little prick

[Initech]

31. That would be the absolute worst possible outcome of the election.

These MAGA assholes need to be seeing the insides of prison cells, not of the White House. They should never be allowed anywhere near power again. Fuck Trump and Project 2025!
