900 pages? Jesus fucking Christ, that's a lot of pages for party whose only real ideas are to cut taxes for the rich, get rid of labor laws, and not let colored people vote.

They have to use roundabout wording, otherwise it's too obvious. That's why it's 900 pages.

It’s over three reams of paper

900 pages? Jesus fucking Christ, that's a lot of pages for party whose only real ideas are to cut taxes for the rich, get rid of labor laws, and not let colored people vote.

For the most part they are just rewording their usual objectives, but explicitly in terms of culture war. The first 100 pages is basically listing the roles they want in the administration, in terms of policy positions (Office of Presidential Personnel, Whitehouse Policy Councils, Council of Economic Advisors etc). "Personnel is Policy".
Then it expands to all the public and private roles they want to ensure are filled with their "culture warriors" and not "woke bureaucrats", how to achieve that and assess performance. Finishing off with the explicit policy directives.
You don't really have to read between the lines to see it as a pretty open admission that they don't think Trump is capable of successfully creating an administrative team, let alone one capable of determining, communicating and implementing coherent policy objectives.
They aren't shy about stating it: "Devine, Kirk, and Dans observe that 'the Trump Administration appointed fewer political appointees in its first few months in office' than any other recent presidency." While at the same time pandering to his, "it's not my fault I'm shit at management, it's because of the deep state" narrative, repeatedly fellating his ego for his Executive Orders and staying notably silent on Ivanka, Jared, Eric and their involvement.

wow, molestini cheetolini is such a badass he managed to get this guy to quit without ever knowing him or what the heritage foundation is or ever hearing about the plan. the heritage foundation, who the fraudy fascisct claims to have no connection with whatsoever, is shaking up their leadership at behest of the trump campaign? crazy!

this is just a stupid misdirect to try and mitigate the damage to more and more people learning about it and to try and convince everybody that project 2025 isn't the basis for the republican political roadmap after it got overexposed to the point that it did.

it won't be shut down, it will just be hidden. the problem was people learned about it. they weren't supposed to say the quiet part out loud. it's almost like they were bragging when they thought they had it in the bag against dementia joe and now all of a sudden they need to shut the hell up.

These freaks got too caught up inside their own bubble and over played their hand.

the section focused on the Department of Labor and Related Agencies, author Jonathan Berry outlines a lot of employer-friendly overtime policies. Most of these are just playing with the math to appear fair but concedesore control and flexibility to the employer.

1.) Did you work a job that is focused on work and project sprints? Happen to work 70 hours that week to make an arbitrary deadline but then only work 10 hours the next while you wait on another department to get something done? Zero overtime for you.

The plan proposes a 2 or even 4 week overtime horizon where any OT calculated would only come after you work 80 or 160 hours in that time period -- giving employers the flexibility to demand incredible work hours with no extra pay AND removing any incentive for them to effectively plan schedules and work coverage

Also imagine only getting your overtime wages ever month or every other month. What does that mean for your family's budgeting?

2.) Do you have a job where a significant portion of your compensation is based on bonuses, milestones, or commission? Well the Project 2025 plan gives the option for overtime to be calculated exclusively on any base hourly or salary rate.

This means that if your employer chooses to change compensation structure to one that is a minimum wage base + bonus/commission, an OT calculations are only based on that minimum wage even if you make $50k/yr.

Which brings us to the most sinister proposal...

3.) Project 2025 gives employers the option to offer time and a half equivalent of PTO in lieu of overtime.

On the surface it sounds kind of equitable. Earned time off flexibility instead of wages

However, this turns part of your compensation from something that you control (how you spend your wages), into something that your employer will control (when your PTO is approved).

You may bank all the hours you want, but if the employer denied your PTO, it's like denying access to your earned money. If you have PTO rollover limits at work and the employer denies a PTO request around Christmas -- they have stolen that labor from you instead of paying you for it.

If you live in a state that doesn't have to pay you out your accrued PTO upon a layoff or leaving a job, then that represents wages stolen from you.

Under this plan, I see zero reason why employers will choose to offer overtime wages vs overtime accrued PTO ever again.

Think of how much overtime affects your family's economy. Imagine if that functionally went away. It's the biggest back door to wage theft that I have ever seen.

Raise your voice. Organize. And vote according to your pocketbook.


The GOP once again fucking over the working man, for their corporate overlords.

So basically where you work could bust your ass one week to get something out on time, then cut your hours the next week and if you are under net 80 for 2 weeks, no OT for you.
So one week you work 60 hours, and then the next week after the big project is out, they schedule you 20 hours, well that company just fucked you out of OT.

The GOP is smart, they use wedge issues to get middle class Americans to vote against their interests so the Elite can steal money from hard working middle class Americans. The dude giving you 6 figures a year in campaign donations and promised you a job if you cant get re-elected well that guy cant trickle down money if he has to pay workers OT.
No wonder nobody in the GOP wants to talk about project 2025, because it allows the Oligarchs to have all the power.

the Heritage Foundation has funded a new group, the American Accountability Foundation, that has staffed up and is now “investigating” the lives and social media accounts of federal government workers, searching for people a second Trump administration should fire (or even prosecute?) for disloyalty.

It’s headed up by Tom Jones, a former staffer to Senators Ted Cruz, Ron Johnson, and Jim DeMint who has longtime ties to both Heritage and the Conservative Policy Institute, anotherProject 2025 contributor.

The Associated Press recently reportedthey’ve hit the ground running:

“With six researchers, Jones’ team operates remotely across the country, poring over the information about federal workers within Homeland Security, the State Department and other agencies that deal with immigration and border issues.”

AP’s reporters found that one of American Accountability’s goals was to alert Congress “and the American people to the presence of anti-American bad actors burrowed into the administrative state and ensure appropriate action is taken.”

Heritage President Kevin Roberts, the guy who said their “second American Revolution” would be “bloodless if the left allows it to be”, justified the grant because of what he called the “weaponization of the federal government” by the “deep state of entrenched Leftist bureaucrats.”

Georgia election workers Shaye Moss and Ruby Freeman learned what it’s like when Republicans target you as being part of the deep state that they’re so paranoid about: Both were driven from their homes and jobs by armed rightwingers, had to change their phone numbers, and, fearing for their lives, basically went underground for over a year.

The New McCarthyism Trump, Vance & Their Allies Are Hell-Bent on Inflicting On Us... ​

How long will it take us to reject this new McCarthy era that Trump, Vance, and their allies are hell-bent on inflicting on us?​

Vance wrote foreward in Project 2025 Book.They're trying to delay publishing it now!

the book’s publication date has been postponed from Sept. 24 to until after the November election.

gee wonder why...

https://www.amazon.com/Dawns-Early-Light-Burning-Washington/dp/0063353504
With a Foreword by J.D. Vance

Heritage Foundation president Kevin Roberts outlines a peaceful "Second American Revolution" for voters looking to shift the power back into the hands of the people.

Vance wrote:

As Kevin Roberts writes, “It’s fine to take a laissez-faire approach when you are in the safety of the sunshine. But when the twilight descends and you hear the wolves, you’ve got to circle the wagons and load the muskets.”
We are now all realizing that it’s time to circle the wagons and load the muskets. In the fights that lay ahead, these ideas are an essential weapon.

Project 2025’s new leader Kevin Roberts postpones his own book launch until after the election

As Project 2025 hits turmoil, the head of the influential, far-right Heritage Foundation is postponing the release of his potentially fiery new book until after the November presidential election.

Kevin Roberts, who took over Project 2025 as part of a leadership shake-up amid blowback over its recommendations for a potential Donald Trump White House, said Wednesday he is focused on defeating presumptive Democratic nominee Kamala Harris. Trump’s running mate JD Vancepenned the forward to Roberts’ book.

“There’s a time for writing, reading, and book tours — and a time to put down the books and go fight like hell to take back our country,” said Roberts, the president of Heritage Action who has been mentioned as a potential chief of staff in a Trump White House, in a statement.
“That’s why I’ve chosen to move my book’s publication and promotion to after the election,” he said. The Real Clear Politics news site first reported the decision.

Roberts’ book “Dawn’s Early Light,” was due out in September. It outlines a vision for what its publisher calls “ a peaceful ‘Second American Revolution’.”
The publisher’s description says the book identifies institutions that conservatives need to build or to take back, adding that some are “too corrupt to save.” Among those it lists are Ivy League colleges, the FBI, the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, the Department of Education and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.

Vance, in the forward, quotes Roberts as saying that when twilight descends and a person hears wolves, “You’ve got to circle the wagons and load the muskets.”
“We are now all realizing that it’s time to circle the wagons and load the muskets,” Vance adds. “In the fights that lay ahead, these ideas are an essential weapon.”
A Vance spokesperson has said the forward has nothing to do with Project 2025 and that the senator has no involvement and “plenty of disagreements with what they’re calling for.”

The postponement of the book comes the day after Harris tapped Tim Walz, the Minnesota governor, as her running mate, invigorating a campaign that has roused Democrats in the short few weeks since Biden stepped aside.

Walz has transformed the political conversation by simply declaring Republicans “weird.”

https://www.inquirer.com/politics/election/jd-vance-kevin-roberts-book-foreword-20240808.html

Vance, a U.S. senator from Ohio, wrote a foreword to a book written by Kevin Roberts, the president of the Heritage Foundation, the conservative think tank behind Project 2025, officially known as “Mandate for Leadership 2025: The Conservative Promise.” A proposed overhaul of the federal government based on a set of right-wing ideas, the document details intentions to fire civil servants, expand presidential powers, dismantle the Department of Education, and cease sales of the abortion pill, among other things.

Vance’s alarmist foreword to Roberts’ book, Dawn’s Early Light, which was obtained by the New Republic, could weaken a narrative that Trump has sought to maintain since Project 2025 became a major political talking point against him: “I don’t know anything about it.”
Many former Trump advisers were already involved with the creation of Project 2025, but now his own running mate has co-signed the literature produced by the man who has championed it.

With the political stakes in mind for the Trump campaign, the book’s publication date has been postponed from Sept. 24 to until after the November election. “There’s a time for writing, reading, and book tours —and a time to put down the books and go fight like hell to take back our country. That’s why I’ve chosen to move my book’s publication and promotion to after the election,” Roberts wrote in a statement to RealClearPolitics.

mango mussolini claims to have no idea about project 2025 or what it even is, and totally doesn't agree with any of it, but his campaign has managed to shake up the leadership of it the other week, and it turns out that his running mate for vice president, who i am also assuming doesn't agree with any of it or know what it is, has written the foreward to the leaders book about it.

how strange.
