Basically Trump’s stated objective to “drain the swamp” can be seen as code for “wreck the joint”. If you ask “how’s that one working out for him?” you’d have to answer “Brilliantly”.

No contradiction there I agree Trump evil machinations has achieved goals and the objective in making lives better for the elite...cares not for the chaos he creates.
It baffles me why a % of the evangelical American people think Trump will make things great for them....coz they can carry assault weapons to protest as though the US is on civil war alert.
I am finding (one another board) if one objects to neo RW perceptions say on climate change or any number of issues from abortions to the destruction of national parks in the US then one lacks 'critical thinking'....how does one define such logic...??

“Far from being a failed presidency, Donald Trump has achieved exactly what he set out to achieve: the destruction of the capacity of government to make American lives better.” The Chinese will regard that situation as “mission accomplished” without them even having to lift a finger to facilitate it.

Wait for it … the “fake president” is creating the sound of the first letter of the word he is in the process of uttering, using his upper teeth and lower lip to produce that sound……

“Well fake me dead!” Is that what he’s saying? Or how about “Holy franking credits! Funny furry ferrets in France fry fake fries.“

How about: “Francis finally flipped fantastically and his fancy family finished the fabulous fillet ferociously.“

The latest?
Trump is planning to restart his huge rallies where he can feed his ego on crowd-adulation from America's stupid mental-retards.
However, in order to attend those rallies, his supporters will have to register on an online sign-up page to receive tickets to the events and will also agree to “voluntarily assume all risks related to exposure to COVID-19” and agree not to hold the campaign or venue liable should they get sick. In other words, Trump wants the adulation, but is then prepared to walk away from his supporters as they get sick from the virus hotspots created, with some of them subsequently dying for their demented “fake president” hero.

If America votes in Trump again they are dumber than one could think possible, a nation going down the gurgler fast at 'great' speed.

An excerpt from a story published in The Washington Post a few hours ago after the United States Supreme Court has slapped Trump down twice in 24 hours…
…and Trump is now slagging off on Twitter the two conservative judges he appointed to the Supreme Court as well as Chief Justice Roberts.

I noticed the Lincoln Project ads like the one you posted KTJ. They’re hard-hitting aren’t they. Freddy makes it clear that the Trump campaign is going to play the “Biden is a kiddy fiddler” card which is rich coming from the pussy grabber. But here’s another Lincoln Project ad. A Seinfeld Trump ...

I hate American politics.
I liked it when I saw a fat black woman scream out, "when was America ever great."
I hope Trump saw it on TV.
Trump watches Stephen Colbert. So do I. See, I have a thing in common with Trumpet.

Freddy makes it clear that the Trump campaign is going to play the “Biden is a kiddy fiddler” card Because its becoming evident that he appears to be. At the very least his behavior to children (not teenagers who could,sorta, pass themselves off as 20 somethings, but children) is decidedly off.

I noticed the Lincoln Project ads like the one you posted KTJ. I subscribed to their YouTube channel when they first started pushing out those ads.
Every one of them hits the bullseye.
The people behind the Lincoln Project are all Republicans too. But decent Republicans rather than Trump's mob who have sold out to their messiah.

from The Washington Post…The Lincoln Project understands that Trump's enablers must pay a priceNever Trumpers are showing that they're more faithful to conservative principles than the GOP.By MAX BOOT | 3:12PM EDT — Wednesday, July 22, 2020President Donald J. Trump speaks at the White House on Tuesday, July 21. — Photograph: Jabin Botsford/The Washington Post.“The once-mocked ‘Never Trump’ movement becomes a sudden campaign force” — Washington Post headline, July 11.
If you want any more evidence of the validity of that conclusion, look no further than the frenzied attacks on the Lincoln Project, a political action committee formed last year by four Republicans (George T. Conway III, Steve Schmidt, John Weaver and Rick Wilson) disenchanted with President Trump. With its razor-sharp videos, the Lincoln Project has drawn blood — and counter-attacks mainly from the Trumpified right but also, surprisingly, from a section of the self-defeating left. Even Trump has inveighed against the Lincoln Project, in typically understated fashion, as “LOSERS” who are “a disgrace to Honest Abe.”
The most common charge is that, as Republican National Committee chair Ronna McDaniel put it, the organization has a “record of grift” and “profiting off attacking President Trump.” This charge has been faithfully repeated with no evidence by the lap dog conservative press, e.g., the National Review and Ben Shapiro.
This is pretty rich coming from Trump's acolytes, since there is no more glaring example of grift in our politics than the Trump campaign and the Trump White House. According to the Center for Responsive Politics, the Trump campaign and affiliated committees have spent $22 million at Trump properties since he entered politics in 2015. Now we learn that Trump directed the U.S. ambassador to Britain to ask the British government to steer the British Open to his golf resort in Scotland.
Now that's corruption. What the Lincoln Project is doing is simply politics as usual. There is no reason to believe, the Daily Beast writes, that “Lincoln Project executives are simply pocketing the money that's channeled through their political consulting firms.” If those working on the Lincoln Project are compensated, well, they deserve it. They're turning out brilliant videos at a relentless pace that puts most political organizations to shame.
The attacks on the Lincoln Project's finances are a thinly disguised attack on its tactics — which are to attack Trump and the GOP from a perspective likely to appeal to middle-of-the-road voters. Right-wingers are especially perturbed that the group has targeted vulnerable Republican senators. How dare they?!? “The Lincoln Project has made itself a Democratic Party organization,” screams a headline in the Washington Examiner. This would seem to refute a charge heard from the far left — namely that the group is a bunch of unrepentant warmongers who haven't really broken with the GOP.
In fact, the Lincoln Project's founders have impeccable Republican credentials, but they are thoroughly disenchanted with the Party of Trump. One of the consultants affiliated with the Lincoln Project — Stuart Stevens — has written a forthcoming book called “It Was All a Lie: How the Republican Party Became Donald Trump” that explains in coruscating and compelling terms why he is done with a party he has served his whole life. Stevens has run numerous GOP campaigns; he was Mitt Romney's chief strategist in 2012. Yet he makes no attempt to paint Trump as an aberration. Rather, he sees the president as the distillation of decades of GOP dogma.
He calls the GOP “a white grievance party,” and writes that “there is an ugly history of code words and dog whistles in the party.” The rest of the Republican platform he dismisses as a convenient fiction: “How do you abandon deeply held beliefs about character, personal responsibility, foreign policy, and the national debt in a matter of months? You don't. The obvious answer is those beliefs weren't deeply held…. It had always been about power. The rest? The principles? The values? It was all a lie.”
Stevens is particularly scathing about all the Republican politicians — many of them his clients — who have made common cause with Trump. “The most distinguishing characteristic of the current national Republican Party is cowardice,” he writes. “The base price of admission is a willingness to accept that an unstable, pathological liar leads it and pretend otherwise.”
If you accept Stevens's searing critique of the Republican Party — and I do — then it is incumbent on the Lincoln Project to target not just Trump but also his enablers. That's just what it has done with commercials such as this one urging the defeat of Republican senators.
Does that mean the Lincoln Project favors a Democratic takeover of the Senate? Yup. But that doesn't mean, as Trumpites blare, that it's gone over to the far left. Its members have stayed on the center right while the Republican Party has been taken over, as Stevens writes, by “paranoids, kooks, know-nothings, and bigots.” Even staunch conservatives such as former national security adviser John Bolton and Representative Liz Cheney (Republican-Wyoming) are being excommunicated by the Trumpkins.
If we are ever again to have a sane and sober center-right party in America — something we desperately need — then the Trumpified GOP must first be demolished. That is what the Lincoln Project is trying to accomplish, and more power to it. By leading the charge against the Republican Party, its founders have shown greater fealty to conservative principles than 99 percent of elected Republicans.__________________________________________________________________________ • Max Boot is a historian, best-selling author and foreign-policy analyst who has been called one of the “world's leading authorities on armed conflict” by the International Institute for Strategic Studies.
