Trump has publicly rejected Project 2025 as Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign has sought to tie him to some of the plan’s most extreme proposals. But in private, Vought said that those disavowals were merely “graduate-level politics.”

    I’ve watched a lot of religious arguments and debates and, let me tell you, the religious have no problem whatsoever with lying. I mean, sometimes they’re wrong, sometimes they have a weird interpretation, but they also tell bold faced lies that are easily disproven. They do it often and even when proven to be a lie, they just keep saying it for years.

      FYI, it’s “bald faced”. It comes from “barefaced”, as in, having nothing to hide behind. A bare/bald face has no hair to hide behind, so it is out in the open.

        I knew the right phrasing, but not the origins. Thanks for that.

        So my beard makes me…treacherous. I see.

      Of course! After all, not questioning things regardless of evidence to the contrary is what religious “faith” is all about. Why would religious leaders push “faith” so hard if they weren’t planning on taking advantage of it?
