What the ever-loving fuck is he talking about???

Banks have shut down many accounts for right wings organizations over the last few years because the banks, applying their absolutely nonpartisan criteria, have determined that the accounts are at high risk of (a) money laundering, (b) terrorist financing, (c) check kiting, or (d) other fraudulent activity. Trump is basically demanding that America's largest banks ignore their AML and anti-fraud requirements and facilitate those likely-fraudulent entities for political reasons.

I've said this a million times here, but it bears repeating once more. This is straight out of the Victor Orban playbook.

Trump will lie about all of this. He'll lie about it for political reasons. He'll lie about it because he wants to hurt Democrats. He'll lie about it because he doesn't give a shit about North Carolinians. He'll lie about it because he's a liar and an asshole.

Pretty much sums him up.

Did you see the Harris campaign? They pushed the content of Project 2025 relentlessly. No one cared.

Because Trump promised them he knew nothing about it. At some point, even Trump's supporters will realize he's a compulsive liar who doesn't give a shit about them. It hasn't happened yet, but given his incredibly low approval ratings, I doubt it will be much longer.
 


He is also there lying about what FEMA has done in Nc and saying the Feds will take care of people now that he is in charge.

Maybe it was my disinterest in the rallies? I know some version of “project 2025 is bad!” was a core talking point, but Merkeley attacking the p2025 ghoul with the Arkansas failures was tangible, involved a slight drilling down, but was overall simple.

Again, maybe it was my campaign diet.

ETA: My 9-12 months includes the current and ongoing messaging, not just campaign.

More importantly, is anyone on this board willing to agree with Trump that it is appropriate to condition federal aid for natural disasters on the recipient state passing completely unrelated laws that the administration (but not the state) wants?

Would it be okay for the next Democratic President to condition hurricane relief for Mississippi on Mississippi passing abortion protections?

We can all agree this is asinine and shameful, can't we? Can't we??

“… Brian T. Moynihan, Bank of America’s chief executive, asked a rote, prepared question about the new administration’s plans for the economy.

Mr. Trump capped off a nearly two-minute response by observing:

“By the way, speaking of you — and you’ve done a fantastic job — but I hope you start opening your bank to conservatives, because many conservatives complain that the banks are not allowing them to do business within the bank, and that included a place called Bank of America,” Mr. Trump said.

He continued, referring to JPMorgan chief executive Jamie Dimon (who was not on the stage), “You and Jamie and everybody, I hope you’re going to open your banks to conservatives, because what you’re doing is wrong.”

Mr. Moynihan responded with what appeared to be a nervous laugh, and by changing the subject to next year’s World Cup. …”

This is already how disaster response works and has worked for 50 years. The states only request federal assistance when a disaster is too destructive for them to handle. He’s a literal complete fucking moron.

I expect it is more likely that Trump and his Administration and its allies (Heritage Foundation, Fox “News”, Hannity, GOP, etc.) want to portray the federal government, especially Biden’s Administration, as grossly incompetent and ineffective; that the Deep State wants to harm the American people, especially those in red areas.

The more “broken” and “corrupt” they portray the federal government, the better for weeding out the “Deep State” and draining “the swamp.”

I’m not disagreeing that he’s a moron and ignorant as hell; but, he and his allies talking points will be “Biden’s government was corrupt and incompetent and giving your money to illegal aliens.”
