Does the Lincoln Project Carry more Weight than the Family of the Dead?
I saw on X that the Lincoln Project was upset with Trump taking a photo with a family by the grave. (Not really wanting to give them any clicks, you can go look that up if you want to.) I saw the image below on Facebook. It makes me ask the question: does the Lincoln Project carry more weight than the Family of the Dead?
Seems to me, the controversy stirred up is just that: stirred up. God Bless the Families. God Bless Trump for being there. God Bless America.
In the end who carries the most weight? Those on the fence that wasn’t sure if they could pull the lever and vote for him and then decided a thumbs up over a grave was a bridge too far.
That may not be fair in your thinking, but that’s the reality.
The controversy was manufactured to obscure the fact that Biden and Cackling Kamala barely bothered to acknowledge the humiliating skedaddle from Afghanistan, the 13 Marines who were killed under their watch, the hundreds of American citizens left behind, and the tens of thousands of Afghan commandos and others who were abandoned. They want everyone to forget that Trump did honor the memory of the Marines killed.
Joe, and Kamala (the last one in the room) would like you to forget that those Marines died for a sound bite about the end of our occupation of Afghanistan on the 20th anniversary of 9/11. That sound bite in the end couldn’t be delivered because of the revulsion it would have inspired.
Biden wasn’t there because Joe isn’t, strictly speaking, anywhere anymore. Harris wasn’t there because the new strategy is for her to avoid being “tethered” to the Biden-Harris administration.
“Those on the fence who weren’t sure…”
No charge for the grammar correction. Just want to make sure your speech is accurate.
IOW, the rest of us are always at the mercy of fools and the naive.
I am not sure it is reality at all. Thus the question.
I’ll be honest, I have a very low opinion of what you think is and is not reality.
Maybe the fence identifies with the pronoun “they,” and the fence wasn’t sure if they could pull the lever.
I hadn’t considered that. Fair point.
I must be as dense as can be this week, but I do not understand the diabolical meaning of a thumbs up.
What do people think Trump was signaling and to whom?
The Lincoln (sic) Project is devoid of any intellect or reason. Their sole purpose of existence is based on pathetic emotions stemming from their TDS.
Glad my typo amused you all.
Welcome to the land of universal suffrage. It’s part of the package. What’s your alternative? Should we find ourselves a royal family?
Isn’t there some overlap between The Lincoln Project and NAMBLA?
You know, it simply isn’t my concern anymore. I’m a cynical old guy with only a few years left, and I have all the money I need. The young people I know are infatuated with socialism, and they will get what they deserve when they vote for Harris. To me it doesn’t matter all that much as my plan is simply to sit on the sidelines and enjoy the show and my remaining few years.
I am a realist and I know that sometimes the only alternatives are bad and worse. That’s life.

Well, they have turned an impressive amount of coin for themselves, especially Reed Galen.
After Founder John Weaver was exposed they should be defunct!
In Psalm 72:2-3, Asaph laments:
But when it dawned on him in v.16-18:
It will be with the Lincoln Project as it was with the wicked of Asaph’s day.
If only they didn’t cause so much damage before getting their just punishment.
I don’t know what this is about, either, but I’m reading the comments anyway.
Maybe he was just doing what he thought was the right thing to do. Does anyone do that in public anymore?
I suppose the question will only be answered over time.
And really, it’s not a fight between a family of fallen due to the evil of the Biden administration and the Lincoln project. It’s the mainstream media.
It is the media mavens of the world who carry water for the Democrat Party and their socialist agenda.
No matter how much you hate the media, it’s not enough.
Maybe this is the new “ok” 👌 sign and we didn’t get the memo.
Or new “dog whistle” only noticed by the dogs on the left.
The North American Man Boy Lincoln Project?
Dennis Miller once suggested castration for those folks, and then it means North American My Balls Lack Attachment.
Here are the AP’s editorial guidelines for this event.
Maybe VEEP will do a Venn Diagram
