The Lincoln Project

[Luke]

Haven't been following TLP since the election, but good if they're spending money on continuing to show the trash the GOP has become. They've done a lot on the 100 day anniversary of the Capitol Riots, podcast is below.





100 Days Later
The Lincoln Project
Politics

It’s been 100 days since a mob of extremists stormed the U.S. Capitol in an attempt to block the certification of President Biden’s victory and overthrow our government at the urging of Donald Trump and his Big Lie. This week, host Reed Galen is joined by fellow Lincoln Project Co-Founders Steve Schmidt & Rick Wilson, as well as Lincoln Project Senior Advisor Stuart Stevens to discuss the aftermath of the insurrection and the importance of never forgetting the events of January 6, 2021. Plus, a look-ahead to the 2022 midterm elections.


38 minute Podcast is here:

Lincoln Project seems to be ramping back up. In 2024, we'll take all the help we can get, so good to subscribe and keep an eye out.

7pm EST 11/9 -- Rick Wilson & Tara Setmayer are being super funny about the GOP Debate and wanting to punch Vivek in the nose. They have clips, including when Vivek dissed Nikki Haley's daughter for using TikTok (tons of boos, she called him scum).

Hadn't seen this -- somebody set up a GoFundMe called "Chapstick for Ron" (DeSantis) and they've raised $83.





It's also a Twitter Space:

COVITA is still my total favorite (disclaimer: Have known Patti Lupone since I was a teenager)

Nice ad.

Sexual abuser
Adulterer
Felon
Bully
Liar

Is that the person that you want your children to know you voted for? Is that the person you want them to look up to?

I'm sure the GOP will be along shortly to post the pic of Biden kissing the little girl on the head to prove, beyond a shadow of a doubt, errr....it'll prove something. Believe me!!!

I don't know how much push this is going to put on the needle to move. I wish it would, but I'm seeing what few FJT supporters I still know have already moved into the "proudly supporting a felon" phase. I'm therefore assuming this one is meant to hit the undecideds and double-haters, but not really to convince actual lever-pullers.

Yes, they target soft Republicans in competitive counties or districts who find the current state of the party unacceptable. A lot of them were party members but now identify as independent. The themes for this type of ad include rule of law, abortion/health care rights and coming soon, the economy (if it continues to improve).

Occasionally they will make an ad meant for an audience of 1 and will buy ad time for where and when they believe him to be watching.

Today, The Lincoln Project received a cease and desist for an ad currently running on Fox News in Mar-a-Lago. As it turns out, these losers can’t stand to be laughed at or mocked, and LaCivita and Wiles apparently didn’t appreciate that our ad states the obvious–Chris and Susie have royally screwed up Trump’s campaign and selected for him the weirdest ever VP candidate — kookier even than Sarah Palin.

Poor Donald Trump. His campaign is in shambles and so is his mind. He brought back Corey Lewandowski—a man who has never even won a statewide race - and who was fired for reportedly assaulting a female reporter — to babysit Susie Wiles and Chris LaCivita. All while his weirdo running mate is having a Jeb Bush “please clap” moment at least once a day. We understand why he’s angry and low energy these days. He’s just old, weird, and contemplating spending the rest of his life in courtrooms and prison instead of the White House.

Someone needs to tell Trump, Vance, Lewandowski, LaCivita, and Wiles that there’s no crying in politics.

Look, it genuinely sucks when you are about to lose a gig that rapes and pillages the campaign to pay your astronomical CONsulting fees. We would even feel bad for them if they cared about the country more than money and power. Regardless, if they can’t take the heat, they should probably stay out of the proverbial kitchen.

The ad will stay up. Hell, the money we will raise off of this cease and desist will help us make sure Trump loses Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, Arizona, Nevada, Georgia, and North Carolina. And we will keep doing more ads like this!

It’s been 1,393 days since Trump last threatened to sue over LP content. That threat was hot air and so is this one. We appreciate the campaign both helping us fundraise and showing us exactly how to effectively spend that money.

We are coming for the Trump campaign and won’t stop until he is no longer a threat to democracy. If they continue to threaten us with frivolous lawsuits, then we may need to stop being nice.

Trump's a little baby. Check out 2020 Campaign Mgr Brad Parscale, who was investigated for swiping millions from Trump & the RNC before his meltdown landed him in police custody. David A. Warrington is a tool of failed RNC candidate Harmeet Dhillon.






This has a thread about what happened including what Kendra posted:

Thanks, Turtle, that video is HILARIOUS!

Response from @TheRickWilson @ProjectLincoln to Donald Trump's weak lawsuit threat from @realDonaldTrump @LaCivitaC & @susie57. "We're in your head. Nobody else tells you the truth. I wouldn't trust you to run a Waffle House".
Go Ahead, Donald – Sue Us

[johnpcapitalist]

I think this feeble Cease & Desist letter deserves a hilarious response from our own Mike Dunford.

[Tiredretiredlawyer]

There is no “President Donald Trump.”

For the Tina Peters trial, only a few were live tweeting it. Mario Nicolais @MarioNicolaiEsq was doing a great job, fast af and getting more of the transcription (I'm more color but I do get the key points).

We started following each other, posting each other's content, and private messaging. Our coverage was complimentary and we've talked about jointly covering a future trial.

Meanwhile, I had no idea -- Mario is the General Counsel of The Lincoln Project.

Slim -- It was Mario's tweet last night that I used the marching ketchup -- now he's referring to Big Ketchup haha

His Twitter feed is really funny and good --
