The Lincoln Project

[gr8gatsby]

To call The Lincoln Project Republican's is a bit of a stretch. Even if they insist they are Republicans. The may have formerly been Republicans. But clearly to anyone with the slightest bit of common sense they are Democrats and independents at best.

Never Trumpers, who turned on their party because they are exactly what they accuse Trump of being. Sore losers, divisive, ego maniacs.

The proof is in the pudding. They are backing Democrat candidates in Georgia'. Which if they can pull it off would give the Senate into the hands of Schumer and the Democrats. Giving all three branches of government into the hands of the Democrats.

No Republican in their right mind wants that to happen. We see them for what they are.

I agree with you that the Lincoln Project members should be called former Republicans. Similarly, Trump supporters should not be called Republicans as they have proven to not be as well. They support the cultish party of Trump and should be named as such. I don't believe there are many true Republicans left ... maybe Mitt Romney.

Hillary got many things right about them but none as spot on as this:
'half' of Trump supporters are 'deplorables'

I take that back she said half we now can safely up that number to 100%.

It lost her a hell of a lot of support amongst the undecided in 2016, but looking back, I'm so glad she said it!

I love the visuals that a "Basket of Deplorables" conjures up. Dim recall, that the editorial cartoonists at the time had a hay-day with that.

Meanwhile he's managed tp get through some judges and change ther dynamic of many courts. Yet to claim to be Republican while backing Democrat candidates who, given the opportunity will tax and spend for four years. Doesn't make one any less a Democrat.

"Tax and spend" is just another right wing talking point they've sold their gullibles on. Or maybe it's just that right wingers have a problem with WHO it's spent on.

Republicans tax too.

Like the taxes we pay to make up for what the wealthy 2 percenters and corporate America DON'T. Or the taxes we pay in the higher cost of goods and services because of Trump's trade war with China, and the additional taxes we pay because he's been bailing out farmers who are hurting BECAUSE of what Trump has done.

Or the taxes we pay for that WALL Mexico was supposed to pay for. Or the taxes we pay for Trump's $740.5 BILLION military budget. NOT to mention the taxes we pay to pick up the tabs for his multiple rallies and what he charges the Secret Service to stay at one of his OWN properties for his ridiculous number of golfing expeditions.

So YES, we're being TAXED all the same, only difference being that instead of it being SPENT on those who need it most, it's being SPENT on fat cat b--------------, cronies, the wealthy, inside traders, and nepotic GRIFTERS rolling in the dough.

Meanwhile Trump & Co. has driven the national debt to 5.2 TRILLION in only three years. 9 of the last 10 recessions happened under Republican "leadership" (or shall I say the LACK THEREOF), and each time Democrats have had to step in and clean up after THEIR S----.

Hey, the way I figure it, if by THAT time they were still "undecided" then they probably weren't going to vote for her anyway.

Mitt Romney is an opportunist. Had he been offered a job in the Trump administration he'd have taken it. He had the potential to become President, but recoiled when Obama shot back about the military not asking for money.

He didn't have it in him to engage Obama in the debate. One could argue it's because Romney is of a different class of people than Obama.

What the people on the left fail to understand is that then candidate Trump, was saying what many on ther right felt and believed. Trump had the balls to say. Illegal immigrants were pouring into this country unchecked. Somehow being white is something to be ashamed of. Somehow white Americans are guilty of numerous crimes or thoughts. Or at least deplorable.

Clinton asked her supporters to give Trump a chance. That didn't happen. The liberal media refused to acknowledge that Trump won the election. They refused to treat him exactly like they had Obama. Thus Twitter has been Trump's outlet to his supporters.

While Trump tried to make this country more secure at the borders. The left singles out kids in cages. Hello where was all the languishing when this happened during the Obama administration?

The fact that Trump insisted that other countries foot more of the financial burden of their own protection somehow is wrong in the eyes of the left. Trump is the only President in my lifetime that has stood up to China. When I was a child 90 percent of goods sold in this country were made in this country.

The Democrats taxed corporations to the point of running them out of the country. Most of them turning to China because of the cheap labor.
Trump has tried to lower those taxes on companies in order to get them back in America.

Somehow, this goes against the grain of The Lincoln Project and the left. The left seem to want their cake and eat it too. Overlooking completely the Hunter Biden emails that could be damming for the presumptive President elect. Again the liberal media has overlooked this as though it didn't happen. My hypothesis is that the house of Representatives will flip in two years.

Something that I've always noted about cheapskate ring-wing-nuts and taxes, is that the taxes they REALLY hate to pay are for public schools, (and funding for the breakfast/lunch programs, afterschool programs, etc.). I guess they think everyone should be able to afford private schools. It is really shameful, and ultimately, down the road, like shooting themselves in the foot.

Of course, they never complain about more and more of their tax money going to prop up the military-industrial complex.

HUNTER BIDEN! Everyone drink.....

Fershure! -hic-

"Hunter Biden"...... another right winged talking point. An administration full of nepotism, profiteering and GRIFT, Trump STILL hiding out his taxes, and they bring up "Hunter Biden." It is to laugh.

Yeah, Romney is an opportunist, but even HE knows a pig with lipstick on when he sees it. And NO, ACTUALLY, "the people on the left" understood PRECISELY that, then candidate Trump, was (and STILL IS) saying EXACTLY what many on the right felt and believed. That's what made them DEPLORABLE.

As for giving him a "chance" he BLEW that chance, from out the gate, by immediately installing bigots, incompetents, malcontents, and retrogressives in key government positions. They're talking about the expertise, skill, and experience of Biden's nominees like the NOTION of it is something fkng NEW. Incredible how low Trump has brought the bar.

And lest we forget, THEY called Obama the "deporter in chief." And though his policy wasn't perfect, he STILL managed it without the cruelty and BARBARITY of the Trump MALadministration, or that of his henchman, supremacist associate ghoul, Miller.

Also, unilateral support and cooperation among NATO allies wasn't in principle a bad idea. In PRACTICE (Trump's "practice" that is) it was ABYSMAL. Because you don't achieve that by alienating your ALLIES and dismissing your INTELLIGENCE people while cozying up to DICTATORS and DESPOTS.

All that s---- about America first, but he ran the deficit up into the trillions, increased the cost of goods and services via his tax war, turned farmers into welfare dependents, and hasn't done a fkng thing for the COAL industry.... and btw, wasn't it the right who were bchin and moanin when Obama helped save the US auto industry. So wtf???

But HEY.... "Hunter Biden"

Get a grip. Yes we abhor public schools and money being spent on failing public schools. We are already housing many of these low life free loading scumbags, who would rather do drugs and God knows what else than trying to raise responsible children. Their too fucked up to give a rat's ass about whether their children are doing good in school. He'll we're feeding them with food stamps. They could do like many of us did in school and carry their lunch. What the fuck are we giving then good stamps, ebt cards for? O wait their selling them for drugs. More fuckin irresponsible behavior. That is perfectly acceptable. And the left has made a cash cow out of these unfortunate people. So yeah Biden obviously really cared about these people for the last 47 years. And you people have the unmitigated gall to bitch about affordable housing! Give me a friggin break.

The Lincoln Project could give less than a damn about these people, that you on the left use like a badge. Truth be told not one of you in this echo chamber would lift a finger or dirty your hands by going into these communities and trying to reach out to them. How do I know this? Because I'm in these communities every day.

When does enough become enough. We're throwing good money after bad at these communities that were designed to fail. People living basically in shit. But, the Democrats continue to throw money at failed programs. That's what we hate.

It would be different if these programs were stepping stones. They are not. Generations of people have been sucked into these failed programs that Democrats champion. And it doesn't matter what the color of their skin is. There are probably more white people affected by the stupidity of these failed programs than any other people.

Top think the Lincoln Project gives a crap is to turn a blind eye. Just as Democrats and the liberal left have turned a blind eye to Hunter Biden. It'll once day come back to bite you in the ass.

I'm not even going to ask.

Well let me put your racist mindset to rest.
First of all Mitt Romney is upper class wealthy. I'd venture to say he's never wanted for anything. Never done his own laundry or polished his own shoes. I'd venture to say he has had hired household help since he entered the world

The same can't be said about Obama. But your mind went straight for the racist card.

The difference between the two should've been obvious. One is filthy rich the other is just rich

Interesting to see where *your* mind goes.

As for Romney being "of a different class of people," I suppose you can make it all about wealth--though I don't see how that would make someone incapable of debating.

At any rate, as far as I'm concerned, Obama demonstrated just what "class of people" he was every day he held office--in way sharply contrasting with the filthy rich Donald Trump.

Methinks thou bitches to much
After 4 years of Trump what if anything has changed in the way people live?
What did the administration, senate lead by McConnell, ever do to alleviate the wrongs?
Everything starts with education..... much more important that worrying about the size of his inauguration.

What wrongs did Biden make right in the 47 years he was in office? What wrongs did Obama right? None. Politicians don't give a rat's ass about working and lower income citizens. They care about winning their next election.
They could care less whether you and I live paycheck to paycheck as long as they can become wealthy. Lobbyist and big pharmacy and insurance line their pockets. They don't actually care about us. To think they do just shows how naive one is.

You really don't know the difference? Obama nor Trump are in the same class of people Romney is. But then again I wouldn't give you a plug nickle for either one of them.

You can NOT be that fucking deluded

Same CLASS of people ??

WHAT THE FUCK ???

Romney's father was CEO of Rambler/AMC

OBama's father was CEO of NOTHING

Romney's father was Governor of Michigan

Obama's father never held elective office ANYWHERE

Romney was borne with a Platinum spoon in his mouth, went to private schools from day one and Daddy paid for it all.

Obama went to public schools, to college of scholarships and as a sitting US Senator he and Mickelle were still paying off their college loans when he sold his first book

Same class of people
