Dear Lord this Dans guy has ODD. Plus a Messiah complex, as in “He alone is a true conservative.” And he alone has the vision and aptitude to make America a “Conservative Nation”, G-D it!

Publicly Trump said no.
Privately he wacked his weenie.

A tour de force article laying bare the lie that Project 2025 is shut down. It’s been published and the Schedule F implementation plan proceeds apace.

This asshat reminds me of every far right middle-aged loser who discovered MAGA. I have one of these losers in my circle of friends, unfortunately. Whether through laziness or heroic mediocrity, these clowns find themselves floundering, going nowhere in mid-career. Unable or unwilling to admit or even see their own laziness or mediocrity, they need someone to blame and MAGA gives them that - I can’t get ahead because of women/affirmative action/DEI/anti-conservative bias, whaa-whaa woe is me me. I’m the victim. MAGA gives them a mob of bullies to join and a whole host of people to blame. Now that he’s been exposed, I hope this asshat face plants over Project 2025 and his descent into career oblivion only accelerates.

My take on Dans is he came of age when young people were liberals, he went the other way. So it placed him in a position of not fitting in.
Part of Project 2025 is his revenge for the masses not appreciating his greatness.

Colleagues chalked up his outbursts to insecurity born of his not understanding how the government worked
Yeah. Just that one teeny problem with Trumpism.
These guys don’t know much of anything, but they’re experts on everything. And, if you and I would only do what they say, we would all be so very, very happy.
Remember: a $2 trillion tax break for a couple hundred people. The Republican plan – Project 2025 – is for us to financially support them.

Agreed. Tour de force.
I was surprised to see in the article that the database has apparently been built and populated?
With fireable people? ; - )

Yep, he sounded like a third-rate lawyer going nowhere fast. The lack of recognition from colleagues in Chevron says it all.
I laughed when I read he ended up getting into HUD: with other feds it has the reputation of being the home for all the political hacks.
But I found this rather upsetting:
Dans has criticized prosecutions of those involved in the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol. “The unfortunate thing is it does send a message to people that you shouldn’t criticize the government,” he said in a C-SPAN interview last year.
Seriously, the insurrection was “people criticizing the government?” How would he like to be criticized with a flagpole to the side of the head?

We really need a Project 2025 of our own. Lay out exactly what we plan to do for the country and all the ways it would help millions, for starters -
- End Reagan’s tax on Social Security
- End Reagan’s tax on unemployment benefits
- Codify all gender-related healthcare from abortion to trans care
- Codify the Fairness Doctrine
- Medicare for all

Nobody ever, ever, points at the river of money that funds all these groups.
In America, the more money you have, the more innocent you are.

Dans wants to destroy the government by replacing it with people no one will be allowed to criticize.
