Now that we're staring down the barrel of Project 2025, I guess it's a good time to re-up this essay I wrote a few months ago exploring its plans for an authoritarian administrative state www.bostonreview.net/articles/ins...
Inside Project 2025 - Boston Review
Backed by the Heritage Foundation, the initiative seeks to undermine longstanding safeguards against abuses of executive power.

Still can't believe that conservatives demanded that people boycott a *checks notes* wedding. Bad Bunny played Trump like an orange piccolo.

Trump complaining because he can't understand what other people are saying. I can't even.

This fucking rules. How can conservatives possibly criticize this after their recent campaigning for people getting married.

The best part of the Kid Rock halftime show is where he gets his ass while drunk at a Waffle House

This is incredibly cool — A source familiar with Bad Bunny’s performance tonight tells me that the couple in the halftime show got married for real. They invited Bad Bunny to their wedding and in turn he invited them to get married during his performance.

Definitely comes across as an old man. Democrats can get a lot of mileage out of this if they wanted to.

Trump crashes out over Bad Bunny’s halftime show
The Super Bowl Halftime Show is absolutely terrible, one of the worst, EVER! It makes no sense, is an affront to the Greatness of America, and doesn’t represent our standards of Success, Creativity, or Excellence. Nobody understands a word this guy is saying, and the dancing is disgusting, especially for young children that are watching from throughout the U.S.A., and all over the World. This “Show” is just a “slap in the face” to our Country, which is setting new standards and records every single day — including the Best Stock Market and 401(k)s in History! There is nothing inspirational about this mess of a Halftime Show and watch, it will get great reviews from the Fake News Media, because they haven’t got a clue of what is going on in the REAL WORLD — And, by the way, the NFL should immediately replace its ridiculous new Kickoff Rule. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! President DONALD J. TRUMP

The GOP was in a panic over that? I've seen Matlock episodes that were more controversial. They look so ridiculous right now.

The best would be if Jerome Powell makes a surprise cameo at the end of this halftime show and announces a interest rate cut
