Y’all can call me a conspiratorialist all you want but that woman on the right is obviously Iggy Pop.

The Lincoln Project, an anti-Trump GOP group, got locked out of Twitter for sharing the phone numbers and emails of lawyers working on Trump's election challenges

Quote:

The Lincoln Project, a political action committee founded by a group of Republicans against Trump, tweeted the work phone numbers, email addresses, and photos of Ronald Hicks and Carolyn McGee to its 2.7 million followers. The tweet has since been deleted, but Business Insider has seen an archived copy.

"Make them famous," the group added
As I see it the message is clear... beware of pulling this thing off because people are going to look for you and ****ing find you

That shows how seriously The Lincoln Project is taking this. Deadly serious, so to speak.

Trump says he might pop in at ‘Stop the Steal’ march in DC on Saturday

Quote:

Supporters of President Trump will take to the streets on Saturday in dozens of “Stop the steal” marches across the country as the president refuses to concede the presidential election to Joe Biden.

Two pro-Trump rallies, “Stop the Steal” and “Million MAGA March,” will take place in Washington, DC, and are expected to draw thousands of people to Freedom Plaza.

A number of famous conservative faces are expected to participate. Long-time Trump adviser Roger Stone will speak at a march in South Florida, My Pillow CEO Mike Lindell will be a “featured guest” in DC and Infowars founder Alex Jones said he would lead a caravan from Texas to the nation’s capital.

I think it shows more that these neocons want to Stalin-purge their party so they can go back to deficit hawk imperialism without having to deal with Trump's bull****.

A guest on The Intelligence Squared podcast said something similar.

The Batlord 11-13-2020 03:58 PM

Yeah I really hope these Never Trumpers don't stay in the liberal coalition cause with them and the Chamber of Commerce switching sides to the Democrats we could end up with a Democratic party further to the right than ever.

Lisnaholic 11-13-2020 04:06 PM

Yeah, that sounds like a very sinister tactic from The Lincoln Project. It's a little scary to think of how any political activity or commission can these days suddenly attract a threat of violence.

What's with the GOP pussy-footing around Trump while he comes to terms emotionally with losing the election? Lucky for the US that no foreign power has staged a Bay of Pigs style act of aggression on Trump's watch; would the GOP reaction be the same? " Give the President a week slumped in front of cable tv while he struggles to accept such a hurtful event."

Really? Even considering what’s at stake?

If he successfully undermines this election would mob violence against him, cabinet members actively supporting the refusal to leave like Pompeo, senators like The Turtle, governors like Desantis, and Trump’s legal team still not be justified?

I consider this move by The Lincoln Project fair warning. You reap what you sow.

The Batlord 11-13-2020 04:36 PM

You're doing that thing where you ignore the devil's details of the people who sound like they might be on your side. They don't give a **** about justice. They give a **** about power.

Probably true. Targeting those rich **** lawyers is ****ing golden delicious though. It occurred to me that they’re probably trying to weaponize people with politics like mine to further their own right wing agenda though.

Perhaps the means justify the end.

That's a complete lost cause. The old Republican party is dead. They just haven't come to terms yet.

Trumpism is the new Republican party. It's not going away anytime soon imo.

This is it. The new GOP is protectionist, nationalist, and big government.

I mean I agree but I wouldn't be surprised if all the Republicans still looking for Wallstreet blowjobs would be the last to realize this so that you have a newly rightified Democratic party fighting with old school neocons to be the most palatable party to rich donors until someone more competent than Trump rises up to fulfill his promise of being the new populist right wing demagogue and we just end up in this same place in ten or twenty years but even ****ing worse and he's literally Hitler and the longer this takes to happen the more this demagogue will literally be Hitler.

The Batlord 11-13-2020 06:32 PM

What the **** are you talking about? Bernie became a thing cause everyone hated the right. Obama had nothing to do with the left's radicalization.

it was after Obama that he came pretty close to upsetting Clinton

neoliberals radicalize the left too by being disappointing

It was after the internet and social media became more accessible that Bernie came close to upsetting clinton.


And JWB I'd argue that the Republican party always was the Trump party.

I don't think the democratic party is going to be influenced by the Lincoln project at all. Everyone sees the obvious grift for what it is. Those guys are just happy to have a seat at the table. For now.

no he's right.... Back in 2011 or so if you were a leftist you were probably watching the young Turks rant about how weak and docile Obama was and how he's not a true progressive etc... That was around when occupy wall street and all that popped off.

A lot of us came of age and voted in 2008 for Obama then became black pilled once it was clear he was hardly that different from Bush.

Maajo 11-13-2020 09:56 PM

Medicare for all, criminal justice reform, new legislation to address climate change and better labor laws is really ****ing radical. I can't believe how radical Bernie Sanders is for attempting to address four of the biggest issues in America and the world today. He's exactly like Hitler!

And you'll always be the phony progressive who sides with whoever you think will win.

Pro-Trump groups gather in Washington to protest election https://www.cnn.com/videos/politics/...ection-vpx.cnn

This is a horrible interview. A CNN reporter asks a random protester questions and then starts debating with her. Unfortunately, CNN looks very unprofessional here and the Trump supporter comes off looking good, especially when you consider that she’s not a professional member of the press whose job it is to know specifics. You don’t ask a person on the street questions and then steamroll them.

Yes, my reaction was exactly the same: Why is the reporter bullying this poor demonstrator, who even has the grace to keep smiling while she is being picked on? All the reporter does is lend credit to Trumpist assertions that the media is the enemy of the people and that CNN in particular is a partisan, unreliable news source. :(

On the topic of the march, it's very worrying, and hints at a lot of probs to come in January. Also, something I've never seen explained: why do pro-Trumpers chant, "USA" as if the Dems weren't Americans too?
