re: Lincoln project meltdown. George conway, a member, accuses them of breaking law tonight

Who would think that the architects and supporters of America's war machine and its spying apparatus would be complete scumbags? These are your allies progs.

My only complaint about your observation is that I have but one green arrow to award it.

George Conway is the voice of reason in that group. That tells you all that you need to know.

Didn’t their funding get traced in part to Bill Kristol?

These grifters were all top strategists or high level advisors for a who’s who of the GOP establishment: John Kasich, Mitt Romney, John McCain and George Bush. That every founding member is a neocon and Deep State puppet tells you all you need to know about their agenda.




IN PRAISE OF THE LINCOLN PROJECT. We Owe The Lincoln Project Our Thanks: They've done conservatives a great service by laying bare the grift and hypocrisy at the heart of the Republican establishment.

quote:

....The Lincoln Project is a murderers’ row of sex pests, tax cheats, serial grifters, foreign catspaws and political disasters—essentially everything they accuse the 45th president and the Republican Party of being.

All of its founders have gained fabulous wealth from their opposition to Trump. Book deals, media contracts, and other sinecures are easy marks for the Never Trump “conservative,” not to mention the eye-popping $86 million the Lincoln Project itself has raised, much of which has gone straight to firms owned by its founders. This vast plunder was especially convenient given that Lincoln Project leaders have been plagued by financial issues for years, including the nearly half a million in unpaid taxes owed by Rick Wilson.

One of their co-founders, John Weaver, after running the disastrous John Kasich presidential campaign, became a literal Russian lobbyist in an era when we are supposed to be balking in horror at the sight of onion domes. A married man and a father, he was also recently outed for exchanging sexual favors for employment opportunities with young men he found on Twitter.

Stuart Stevens wrote a book called It Was All A Lie after running multiple failed presidential campaigns for Mitt Romney. His own coworkers on the 2012 Romney campaign, including the aforementioned John Weaver, criticized his relentless narcissism that directed attention away from the candidate himself—not that Romney would have benefitted from extra attention, as Stevens regularly bungled the campaign’s fundamental messaging.

Rick Wilson is a serial vulgarian who wrote the book Everything Trump Touches Dies, an especially hilarious title in light of the Lincoln Project failures in the 2020 Senate races. His claim to fame of late was yukking it up with CNN anchors about the “credulous Boomer rubes” in middle America—a sharp contrast with the ethic of that Confederate flag on his cooler that was featured on his and his wife’s Instagram accounts until he received public backlash. (His cooler also bore the claim that “THE SOUTH WILL RISE AGAIN,” though the Florida native later wrote on Twitter, “Soon, the only place you’ll see the traitor’s flag of the loser Confederacy flown is at @realDonaldTrump rallies.”) Wilson in particular has taken on the aura of an ayatollah, a grand religious leader pronouncing people and institutions haram for their failures to appropriately repudiate Trumpism. This included a hilariously botched attempt to cancel Domino’s Pizza for a post thanking outgoing Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnanany for her positive assessment of their pizza.


The Project as a whole now seems intent on flexing their censorious muscles against congressmen and senators who objected to the certification of the electors on January 6. They’ve especially targeted rising star Senator Josh Hawley as a unique threat to democracy. Broadsiding politicians is par for the Lincoln Project’s course, but their public attacks on companies that have dared to contribute to politicians who objected to certification (nearly half of the Republican conference) crosses a new line. Even venues that host the Project’s unfavored politicians are not beyond reproach, as they successfully cowed a hotel in Florida into canceling a planned fundraiser for Hawley.

They may well get small victories like this in the coming weeks and months, but the ultimate result of the Lincoln Project, the people behind it, and the sentiments that underlie its mindset is less likely to be a repudiation of “Trumpism” than a full-throated embrace of it by American conservatives.
