Nice ad. The GOP seems as comfortable with the Nazi swastika flag carrying rubes as they do with the Confederate battle flag carrying morons.</description>

&lt;i&gt;One longterm (possible) benefit of Trumpism is the continued existence of the Peeps at The Lincoln Project.&lt;/i&gt;

It has to suck for them to have had to watch their Party taken over by a modern-day Benedict Arnold and then watch the vast majority of their &quot;Grand Old Party&quot; abase themselves to the criminal con. What a bunch of cowards. 

&lt;i&gt;Since IMO these Constitution Repugs are seemingly better at combat political messenging.&lt;/i&gt;

They&#039;ve got a wicked new ad against the Never Trumper J. D. Vance who said something stupid like if women loved their kids they&#039;d remain in violent marriages. J.D.&#039;s own hillbilly mother apparently did not remain in a violent marriage with his biological father but was nevertheless in multiple violent relationships thereafter. According to J.D.&#039;s book, violence like that runs in his hillbilly family, and his mother was the rule and not the exception. 

The Lincoln Project should probably put out an ad asking J.D. a couple questions: 

&lt;b&gt;* Why encourage other women to endure physical violence?
* What does it feel like to carry on the family legacy?
* When will you stop beating your wife?&lt;/b&gt;</description>

		<description>Where the heck is Don Harris when ya need him?




JK, he was (except at the end) kind hearted but  useless.

*And equally delusional et al. 



Oh Lord, deliver unto me a quality/true believer/non- Libtard voice down here in Weigantia! One that doesn&#039;t waste my time, puh-leeze.</description>

		<description>... and, as such makes me wonder if Establishment so-called Democrats will take advantage of the superior expertise these folks &lt;a href=&quot;https://youtu.be/XLPLb18pssM&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt; deliver.&lt;/a&gt; The Repugs have ALWAYS been far more effective in their messenging than Democrats. 

So IF THE DEMS CHOSE NOT TO LEARN from these folks it confirms my belief that Ralph Nader was right about the two Parties BEING TWO HEADS ON THE SAME ANTI-COMMONER DRAGON. 



Put up or shut up. 



To me, it&#039;s like the Democratic negotiations with our regrettably DINO Senators: Manchinema will or will not yield to Joe Biden,  period.


I&#039;m so way past the point of caring about anything else besides THE motherfucking BOTTOM LINE!

Action talks and bullshit walks.


Fuck all of the histrionics either way... just tell me what THE BOTTOM LINE is.</description>

&lt;i&gt;&quot;It&#039;s dishonorable, and it&#039;s dangerous, and it&#039;s just damn wrong,&quot; said Rep. Dean Phillips (D-Minn.), who said his party was at risk of accelerating the loss of the remaining &quot;truly honorable and courageous Republicans&quot; like Meijer, who was one of just 10 in his party to impeach Trump last year. &lt;/i&gt;

Allow me to explain what you&#039;ve actually got here. You&#039;ve got Dean Phillips, heir to the Phillips Distilling Company and one of the richest members of Congress (probably worth around $80 million, depending on whether the market is up or down tomorrow) singing the praises of Peter Meijer, whose last name you might recognize because he&#039;s worth around $50 million himself and is a Trust Fund baby, being born into a Michigan family collectively worth approximately $6.5 billion dollars. 

&lt;b&gt;So, to recap: &lt;/b&gt; These two guys can obviously easily afford to have morals, and if anyone thinks either of them hasn&#039;t already utilized their sizable family fortunes to effect in the realm of politics, then might I suggest you henceforward pay better attention. :)</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;But once again, for the strategy as a whole to succeed, the Democratic candidates have to win all of these races. Even letting one QAnon sympathizer into Congress is too many. Democrats are risking an outcome (which Scoob and the gang would recognize instantly) of: &quot;too cute by half.&quot;&lt;/i&gt;





I disagree. If a strategy that gets multiple Dems elected in close races also gets &lt;i&gt;one (or even a couple)&lt;/i&gt; nut jobs elected, I can live with that. 



With the Caveat that Dems are famous for snatching defeat from the jaws of victory, I&#039;m by no means resigned to either a red wave in November nor losing control of either House of Congress,  especially the Senate.</description>
