Cap’n Guyliner is Mooselini with a beard (H/T Scissorhead Skinny-D)

Cap’n Guyliner and Hillbilly Effigy JDVance literally wrote the foreword for a new book by former Trump administration staffer and Heritage Foundation president Kevin Roberts —who is also the architect of fascistic Project 2025. The book, Dawn’s Early Light: Taking Back Washington to Save America is a rundown of why Project 2025 is such a great thing. Says Cap’n Guyliner:

“Never before has a figure with Roberts’s depth and stature within the American Right tried to articulate a genuinely new future for conservatism,” Vance writes, according to the book’s Amazon page. “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.”

What ideas? Like Vance, Roberts is obsessed with the idea that the left controls major American institutions — he lists Ivy League colleges, the FBI, the New York Times, the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, the Department of Education and even the Boy Scouts of America. The book argues that “conservatives need to burn down” these institutions if “we’re to preserve the American way of life.” (Vox has requested a copy of the book, but has not yet received one at the time of this writing.)

As we all know, Our Stable Jenius, the disgraced 78-year old, 34-count convicted felon and adjudicated rapist Donald Trump has tried to distance hisself from Project 2025, which was written by many of his closest allies and the nazis who are likely to staff his next administration and will administer Project 2025.

Despite Hair Füror’s denials, Trump = Project 2025. That’s the truth, and that is the message.

So back to Cap’n Guyliner, he’s in the soup. There are many articles and thought pieces up today wondering why Grandpa Sundowner chose him, and of course how long until The Apprentice is You’re Fired’ed, including former Trump adviser Anthony Scaramucci who wonders “how many Scaramuccis J.D. is going to last?”:

He is not doing well on the stump for Donald Trump. He’s hurting him, the memes on social media are killing him, the net negatives are terrible for the vice president. The vice president on the Trump campaign is supposed to get out of the way, and he has become an issue for Donald Trump. So he could have picked Nikki Haley, or he could have picked somebody, but Trump is such a narcissist he didn’t want anybody taking credit for his electoral success. He didn’t want somebody on CNN saying, “Yeah, he won that and Nikki Haley helped him,” so he picked J.D. Vance and now he’s got to live, at least for now, with this millstone on his neck. I mean, he may or may not make it to November 5th.

The excrescence known as Steve Schmidt is gloating for obvious reasons: someone FINALLY made a worse choice than Sarah Palin!!1!

I always knew it was theoretically possible that Sarah Palin would one day be eclipsed by a candidate more dishonest, fraudulent and weird than her. In the way I know it is possible for aliens to arrive tomorrow, I’ve always known it was possible that one day someone as equally unfit and terrifying could emerge. I just didn’t think I’d live to see it.

Yet, here we are in 2024, and the man who believes Putin is our friend and cat ladies are a threat is poised to be a heartbeat away from the presidency if Donald Trump wins.

Polymarket has a political futures contract on whether Sen. J.D. Vance will remain as Donald Trump’s running mate, if you want to get in on the action.

UPDATE 1: Not that this should be a surprise, but Kevin Roberts is part of Opus Dei.
