INSISTING THAT the highest priority is defeating President Trump, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) endorsed former vice president Joe Biden on Monday, followed by former president Barack Obama and Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) later in the week. The left and the center-left are coalescing. Now it is the turn of those further right who understand the threat Mr. Trump poses to join an ideologically broad anti-Trump coalition, which will require them, too, to suppress their quotidian ideological disputes with Mr. Biden.

This is not to say that Mr. Biden and his new surrogates have suddenly solved the Democrats’ progressive-establishment divide. “I don’t endorse Joe Biden,” Briahna Joy Gray, Mr. Sanders’s former national press secretary, tweeted Monday, demanding that Mr. Biden make big concessions to the left. Yet if Mr. Sanders’s supporters accept what he says about the threat Mr. Trump poses, they should be working to shore up the left wing of the anti-Trump coalition. Democratic voters chose Mr. Biden’s coalition-building strategy rather than Mr. Sanders’s ideological stridency. Everyone who understands the Trump threat must try to make the strategy work.


The anti-Trump coalition is forming. The left and right must join.

The Lincoln Project
— which includes former and "Never Trump" Republicans George Conway, Reed Galen, Steve Schmidt, John Weaver, Rick Wilson and more — is up with its first TV ad endorsing Joe Biden.

The big picture: The spot, which shows Biden with Republican former Speaker John Boehner, debuts in Milwaukee and Grand Rapids, Mich., two presumed battleground states in the upcoming election.

Is that a dog whistle ... no, it's a full on racist comment from the worst president in the history of the USA.

Hey, I'M still wondering how he figures he's been treated worse than Abraham Lincoln. What does that MEAN, anyway? Was it just another of Trump's half-witted, pity party, self-flagellations (quick somebody, hand him another nail)? Or suggestive of some deeper resentment of yet another man FAR greater than he'll EVER be?

Since Trump places no value on history and cannot read it's likely he doesn't know that Lincoln had been assassinated.

Speaking of Facebook, we ALL know Facebook is in Trump's pocket as well, DON'T we? Ever since sucker Zuckerberg started making up all kinds of rules to allow Trump and the GOP to post whatever outright bullshit lies they could BELCH up from the pits of HELL. Thank God I never spent one fkn MINUTE on Facebook.

Well, here's the latest from The Lincoln Project:

From Lincoln Project About Fighting Facebook

Retweet this folks. Over and over. This is the moment to challenge @Facebook and it™s fronting for Trump. This is how we fight back. Share it widely by going around them. @ProjectLincoln Joe Scarborough on Twitter
— Mike Madrid (@madrid_mike) May 8, 2020

excerpt:


WASHINGTON, DC US, May 8, 2020 - Today, The Lincoln Project issued a statement in response to Facebook’s decision to censor the ad entitled, “Mourning in America.”

“The Lincoln Project stands by every single word in our ad. Trump and his team are rattled. And it’s no surprise. We know that the one attack that Donald Trump can not confront is TRUTH.

Facebook’s decision to censor The Lincoln Project is in error, but it will not silence us. We will not be bullied by [Trump] or anyone else,” said Jennifer Horn, co-founder of The Lincoln Project. “We will continue to take every available avenue to educate the American people about the dangerous failures of this narcissistic, unstable, incompetent [Trump].”

“The Lincoln Project calls on Facebook to remove this erroneous tag and allow America to see the “Mourning in America” ad on their platform.”

Here is the claim we made: “Donald Trump bailed out Wall Street, not Main Street.”

The Lincoln Project is not alone in our assertion of Donald Trump’s favoritism towards Wall Street during this global pandemic.

Charlie Gasparino, the Senior correspondent at Fox Business Network,wrote in an Op-ed for the NY Post, “These measures will almost certainly benefit Wall Street and market speculation — even as their impact on Main Street will be slow to come.” He also wrote, “Wall Street traders will make money, while Main Street businesses face economic conditions not seen since the Great Depression.

At the same time, Facebook has a well-documented history of having allowed misinformation, doctored videos, fake accounts, factually absent statements, and a provably false ad run by the Trump Campaign to remain available on their site helping to disseminate his disinformation and propaganda machine.

“The Lincoln Project is committed to the truth. We will not be bullied. We are not afraid of [Trump].”

[Trump] is corrupt and dangerous and he will stop at nothing to maintain his image.

This is a new level of collusion on behalf of [Trump]. The Lincoln Project will not back down. We will fight because we believe in the truth and we will continue to take this fight directly to Donald Trump.

He cannot hide behind a bogus Facebook warning.
