The masks are not only off now, so are the gloves. The Lincoln Project just put out one minute showing the hypocrisy of Donald Trump, yet once again, and doing it by using his own words and images. That’s their trademark. That’s where they excel.
Mr. President, thank you for showing the American people exactly who and what you are. pic.twitter.com/QzNZJky5XV

It’s a little bit crazy now. In the 23 days until the election, there was some kerfuffle on Twitter about Trump resigning — absolutely no way. Different media outlets are coming out in favor of demanding Joe Biden talk about packing the court — he’s not going to answer hypotheticals and he shouldn’t. If this race wasn’t so pathetically lopsided, and the media didn’t have its traditional need to turn it into a horse race, such a ludicrous ploy wouldn’t be used.
It’s going to be one hell of a three weeks, on that you may depend. Trump decided today that he was going to hit a different city every single day from now until the election so look for that to lead to more coronavirus cases being diagnosed, as the second wave of the phenomenon kicks in, as predicted.
Meanwhile, Trump is going around telling everybody how great he feels. He puts one in mind of the days of Hollywood stars taking uppers to get rolling and downers to sleep. Some of Trump’s doctors are Dr. Feelgood enablers, apparently. Sean Conley seems to be. He won’t answer a straight question about whether Trump is testing positive or negative for the virus. That alone gives one pause.
These are not normal times and Trump is no normal candidate. He is not only Putin’s puppet, he is the lap dog of every dictator in the world. He envies them all and wishes to be like them. It was good of the Lincoln Project to point that out, because it does get forgotten from time to time. And it shouldn’t. A vote for Donald Trump is a vote against the interests of America. This isn’t about Democrat v. Republican this time out. This is about America or Trump.
I look for Trump to crash and burn after no less than three appearances max. He was already in terrible health, he’s done nothing to recuperate and all the “miracle” drugs in the world can’t keep him going like that coca leaf powder he loves so much. And bonus points, everything he says and does will remind us why he needs to lose.
Hey ignoble boys (whatcha got to be proud of?) U voting for rump is basically the chicken voting for the butcher. My granma always said catch the stupid ones first (chickens), & when she did, she wrung their necks. Just sayin. Try something other than cat in the hat ‘news’, or the good ole boys at the local beer joint. U still got time to not support a fascist traitor.
You’re talking to some of my relatives!
The self-declared “professional” of journalism is once again proving it’s anything but a profession. They’ve been CRAVING their 2020 version of “Hillary’s emails” so they don’t have to do any work, like pointing out all the outrageous corruption of Trump, his increasingly fascist actions and the ever increasing number of people he’s killing via negligent homicide! Instead of hammering (and they will hammer it every fucking day now!) the “Will you pack the court? question to Biden, Harris, Pelosi, Schumer and any other Democrat of note they can get on camera the question(s) SHOULD be about all the court packing the GOP has been doing. Withholding approvals on hundreds of highly qualified Democratic nominees including four years ago a SCOTUS nominee and their blatant hypocrisy in ignoring the logic they used then to ram through another is what SHOULD be the topic and the questions SHOULD be being posed to every Republican trying to make the “story” about our side wanting to pack the courts.
However, as you say they want their goddamned horse race and the bosses of the media empires have issued marching orders because they are one-percenters who want to hang on to their goddamned Trump tax cuts!
I think the only thing any Democrat should say about that is “The Republicans have been packing the courts — we’ll look at potential ways to re-balance them.”
He couldn’t even make it through a 30 minute rally at the white house yesterday. He made it 18 minutes. He is done.
They invited 2k, got 400 even paying their expenses. Smells like fear & loathing.
ESPECIALLY fear, Scott.
Well said, Ursula!!
For a laugh, imagine Susan Collins watching these ads and then say in your best Susan Collins voice “oh snickerdoodles, I’m in another Lincoln Project spot.”

Thank you, Mr. President, for taking off the mask. Thank you for threatening America with violence when you lose, [and?] that only yout votes are counted. And for trying to rig this election and intimidate voters. For embracing the tactics of the tyrants you admire, and trying to use those tactics against the American people. Thank you for showing the American people exactly who and what you are. Because we’re perfectly aware that you aren’t joking and you aren’t trolling any more. The future you and your pet Senators want is just as [unintelligible] as yours, but your time is running out. Your legacy and your place in history awaits – a legacy of failing – a blight on our history. Defeat is coming. Accountability is coming. We are coming.
