What Kind of Leader Loves it When his Supporters Try to Drive Others Off the Road

 Just when you think Donald Trump can not stoop any lower than he has these last four years, he finds a way.

In April, he encouraged his followers to "liberate" states that had reasonable and scientifically proven methods to curtail the Coronavirus.

Some of those fanatics may have been encouraged by Trump's words and actually wanted to take things a step further by planning to kidnap and assassinate the Governor of Michigan, Gretchen Whitmer.

During the First Presidential Debate, he encouraged the Proud Boys and other fringe extremist groups to "stand down and stand by."

On the campaign trail, he told the crowds in his superspreader rallies that his people were watching the polls and Governor in Pennsylvania.

Today, some of his lunatic Trump Zone-Fox Island True Believers took it upon themselves to try and drive off people in a Biden/Harris Campaign Bus.

Fortunately, they did not succeed when law enforcement arrived and no one was hurt.

Vice President Biden and Senator Harris were not on the bus.

How did the leader of the Free World react when he found out his supporters tried to run a bus off the road and maybe injure/kill innocent people?

He wrote a tweet in all caps saying "I LOVE TEXAS!" along with a video of what happened.

What kind of leader loves it when his supporters try to drive and force people from the opponent's campaign off the road?

A really bad one.

In fact, that is not a leader at all.

It is a sociopathic animal that does not deserve the support of any person in this country.

The people on that Biden/Harris Campaign Bus are American Citizens who Trump swore to protect when he took his oath of office.

Add that to the over 20,000 lies to the American People since January 20, 2017.

The Biden/Harris Campaign in Texas responded to the incident by stating:

"Rather than engage in productive conversation about the drastically different visions that Joe Biden and Donald Trump have for our country, Trump supporters in Texas today instead decided to put our staff, surrogates, supporters, and others in harm's way. Our supporters will continue to organize their communities for Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, and Democrats up and down the ballot, and to the Texans who disrupted our events today: We'll see you on November 3rd."

Joe Biden has said that, if elected, he would be a President for all the American People, including those that do not vote for him by November 3, 2020.

Donald Trump has proven again he is not capable of following Biden's words or example.

To the voters that have not yet gone to the polls or submitted your ballot; send a message to Mr. Trump and his lunatic cult followers. Vote like the great majority of those who submitted early ballots seems to have and send Trump packing in January.

 

The Lincoln Project Pokes Fun at Trump in "Covey Spreader" and "Seriously"

In two of its latest ads, "Covey Spreader" and "Seriously," the Lincoln Project pokes fun at Donald Trump's incompetence in handling the Coronavirus and the Presidency in general.

In the first ad, Donald Trump is the "Covey Spreader." The narrator calls him "pretty crazy who has no regard for any other person whatsoever."

He and his supporters (fellow Covey Spreaders like Mike Lee and Don Jr.'s girlfriend) helped spread the virus or ignored safety protocols without any regards for others at:

• The Amy Conney Barrett Supreme Court Announcement at the White House.
• The Republican National Convention.
• The First Presidential Debate.
• The Vice Presidential Debate (making fun of the fly on Pence's head was hilarious.)
• Campaign Rallies.

The ad, which does contain inappropriate language for children, concludes with the narrator saying:

"Covey Spreader don't care if they die. He just dances. He don't give a f--k...And of course, what's everyone going to take home with them tonight besides this nasty image? COVID."

Stanford researchers have estimated that 30,000 people have contracted the Coronavirus thanks to Trump and Pence holding their maskless superspreader rallies.

The second ad, "Seriously," the Lincoln Project points to the numerous instances when Mr. Trump showed he was ill-equipped for the Presidency.

It showed when:

• He walked up to Air Force One with toilet paper on his shoe and he could not get the umbrella in the plane.
• He drew the marker extending the hurricane forecast.
• Making obtuse comments.
• Fumbling papers and documents.
• Inappropriate behavior at diplomatic functions.

The narrator says the Presidency "takes a lot of qualities that you (Trump) just don't have like compassion, human decency, and basic reading skills."

The narrator then sarcastically says that Mr. Trump has other good qualities like his appearance, ability to dance, and memory capacity.

The ad gets better when the narrator says:

"Don't beat yourself up. Not everyone can be a two termer. Well, this guy (Obama) was. Oh yeah, that guy (Bush) too. Okay, ignore that (Clinton,) it doesn't matter because loser doesn't automatically mean "a loser. Or a failure. Or a national disgrace."

The ad concludes with:

"And sure, historians will document you as being a blight on America's presidential legacy. And yes, future generations will refer to you as "that turd sandwich that accidentally won an election one time. But heh, at least you're rich. Am I right? Uh...right?" 

Three Days to Go.

Please remember to turn out and vote by November 3 if you have not already done so.

In Two New Ads, The Lincoln Project Condemns the Stupidity and Barbarity of the Trump Administration

 In two ads released over the last day, the Lincoln Project condemned the stupidity and barbarity of the Trump Administration in its mishandling of the Coronavirus Pandemic and its separation of migrant children from their parents.

The first ad is called "Last Call" and deals with two daughters having their last contact with their dying (from COVID 19) mother with a nurse on a phone call because they can not physically be with her to say goodbye.

This is one of the saddest spots the Lincoln Project has presented. The mother never speaks and the nurse has to tell her what the daughters are saying.

The daughters ask the nurse if their mother knows they can not be there because of COVID 19. The nurse says yes.

The daughters tell their mother they love her and say goodbye. The nurse on the other end tells their mother.

The ad concludes with the graphic of the number of people that have died from the Coronavirus and the narrator stating:

"On November 3, vote Biden/Harris. Life is too important not to."

The second ad, "Cruel" deals with the Trump Administrations barbaric treatment of separating migrant children from their parents.

In another sad ad, the narrator in this spot points out that children "were ripped from their parent's arms" and "locked in cages."

The narrator continues with Rock aby Baby playing in the background:

"Now 545 children are alone in the world. They will never see their parents again. Never hear I love you from their mother or father. 545 children with nowhere to go, no place to call home. 545 children who have had their childhood ripped away. What will that trauma do to them? Who will they become?"

"It's inhuman. It's sick. It's Un-American."

The Project mocks Trump by playing his comment at the last Presidential Debate saying the children are "so well taken care of."

The ad concludes with posting the Holocaust expression "Never Again" and stating:

"VOTE FOR JOE BIDEN"

 

The Biden/Harris Ticket and the Navajo Nation Join the Battle to Combat Climate Change

 The Biden/Harris Campaign has released a new ad called "Climate Change: Navajo Power" that calls on the people in the country to fight to clean up the damage already wrought from human stupidity and save the planet from climate change.

The ad starts off with Brett Isaac, a member of the Navajo Nation and Co CEO and founder of Navajo Power, describing how climate change has adversely affected the nation's water supply, wildlife, and food systems.

The gentleman then states that:

"I think the Navajo Nation will become a very very difficult place to live if we continue to ignore the science and deny that climate is changing on us."

The community is also transitioning. The coal mine in the area has closed down and the people are seeking to replace that industry with solar, including the installation of solar panels.

Mr. Isaac commented:

"My goal is to build large solar projects that essentially reutilize the infrastructure left behind by fossil fuels but instead build miles and miles of solar farms."

Isaac went further in discussing other environmental issues on the Navajo Nation, stating:

"If something ever scary were to happen like a pandemic, where do we go? You know there's always going to be this spot on the globe that represents their ancestors and us and the future. That's what we want to preserve."

"Looking at these communities that have been affected by the fires. Looking at these communities that have respiratory issues because of coal mining. Looking at these uranium communities that are having massive problems with cancer due to the radiation and the lack of cleanup. We are seeing in the frontlines of all these communities the impact and we are sounding the alarm."

"Navajo People are adaptive. We will figure out how to live with this but part of that is developing smart solutions. That's really what opportunity is about. Is trying to do something here so that the families can be together and that they can make a living while living in our ancestral place."

He concludes with:

"We want a leader that actually pays attention to the words that are coming out of our communities. We can't afford to ignore climate science. It's obvious that the way we're doing things as it is today. It's not enough and so we need to have leadership understand that. We got to turn this train around as fast as we can."

The American People face a choice between a science-denying incumbent who thinks environmental deregulation is a good strategy, climate change is a hoax, and windmills cause cancer and kill birds and a Democratic Nominee who has stated that we need to transition to clean energy, combat climate change, provide good-paying jobs in the process, and has published a plan to accomplish that.

It is not really a tough choice for people to make.

There is no Planet B to fly to.

By November 3, 2020, vote for the nominee that has a plan to combat climate change, not the one who thinks windmills kill birds and cause cancer.

 

The Lincoln Project Presents its Closing Argument for Joe Biden

The Lincoln Project has released a new ad called "Biden's Moment."

The ad chronicles Joe Biden's life and explains how he is the man to lead the United States at this moment in history.

The narrator starts the roughly minute and a half spot with:

"America is hurting. There's a sickness in the land, more than just a virus that could have been controlled long ago. Our faith is being tested. Our faith in each other and the goodness of America."

The narrator then pivots and states:

"This is Joe Biden's moment."

The ad then chronicles (with pictures in the background) the 2020 Democratic Presidential Nominee's  life, successes, and hardships, saying:

"...he never gave up. Joe Biden kept the faith. The faith that love is stronger than hate. That kindness is stronger than anger."

The ad then plays the former Vice President saying:

"As I look across America today, hope seems elusive. My answer is this. You and I are part of a covenant. If we do our part. If we stand together. Then the divisions of our time will give way to the dreams of a brighter, better, future. We can be what we are at our best, the United States of America."

The narrator in the ad concluded by stating Joe Biden is "the right leader to bring us together and this is his and our moment." 

The election is in eight days.

Be a part of the moment.

Get out and vote by November 3, 2020.

 Traitor: A History of American Betrayal from Benedict Arnold to Donald Trump by David Rothkopf

Please watch the Lincoln Project Ad "Fairy Tale"

 In its latest and most creative ad, the Lincoln Project successfully parodies the Brothers Grimm Fairy Tales, telling an animated version of the Trump Presidency.

It is called "Fairy Tale" and stars the animated versions of Trump, Putin, McConnell, and Graham.

The ad starts off like any Brother Grimms story.

It talks of a man coming down from his tower to be crowned "the most powerful man on Earth."

The animated story then quickly devolves into a nightmare where the newly crowned ruler:

• "Gives money to the rich and takes from the poor."
• "Makes friends with our enemies and enemies of our friends."
• Lies about the disease "that came upon the land," lying saying "Fear Not. For it is a hoax and will not harm those who believe in me." He later says, "as thousands and thousands die," that "all will disappear with the sip of his magic potion (bleach.)"
• Attacks people with "noxious gases" when the people "cry for help." 
• "Forces children out of their homes and into the plague filled air (to school.)"

The narrator concludes with:

"We're living in a story as grim as any ever told and the lesson? Vote and send the man back to his tower for good."

Election Day is in Eight Days.

Heed the moral of the tale and get out and vote.

The Biden/Harris Campaign Reacts to the White House Giving Up on Controlling the Coronavirus

 

Photo from WSIL-TV

To all those people out there that believe the Trump Zone spin that we are rounding the corner with regards to the COVID 19 Pandemic: stop drinking the Fox Island Kool-Aid.

The United States just set a single-day record for COVID 19 infections last week and most states are reporting rises in Coronavirus related illnesses. 

This administration, according to White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows, has given up on controlling the Coronavirus.

Some may question if they ever wanted to.

They, despite the superspreader event at the White House with the nomination of Amy Coney Barrett, still mock people for wearing masks.

On the campaign trail, there is the Chief Executive Demagogue, who had the Coronavirus, continuing to spread misinformation at potential superspreader events.

The same could be said for his number one sycophant Mike Pence, who has been exposed to five of his own inner circle who have tested positive for COVID 19. Instead of self quarantining, Pence is out at potential super spreader campaign rallies exposing himself to the people charged with being around him.

This White House team seems to have no problem with steering the nation through herd immunity.

Never mind that experts predict that approach could needlessly cause many more fatalities.

The Biden/Harris Campaign released a statement, chastising the Meadows comments, writing:

"White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows stunningly admitted this morning that the administration has given up on even trying to control this pandemic, that they've given up on their basic duty to protect the American people. This wasn't a slip by Meadows, it was a candid acknowledgment of what President Trump's strategy has clearly been from the beginning of this crisis: to wave the white flag of defeat and hope that by ignoring it, the virus would simply go away. It hasn't, and it won't."

"It's sadly no surprise then that this virus continues to rage unchecked across the country and even in the White House itself. The grim reality is that we continue to set records for new cases, and the fact that the head of the White House's coronavirus task force has an outbreak in his office and yet still refuses to follow CDC guidelines shows us exactly why. It is particularly outrageous when the science tells us that if we just took basic precautions now, we could save thousands of lives. For example, the University of Washington's Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation has said that universal masking could save around 100,000 lives over the next few months. It's long past time for President Trump and his administration to listen to the scientists, take action, and finally take seriously the threat of a virus that's costing thousands of lives each week, shuttering our schools, and forcing millions of Americans out of work."

They also released an ad, showcasing Trump's complicity in mishandling the handling of the pandemic and Biden's commitment to combatting it.

Please click here to view the ad.

The country does not need as Joe Biden has said an Administration that puts science fiction over science fact.

It needs one that will value experts and reality.

Election Day is in Eight Days.

Save the country.

Save the American Ideal and Republic.

Save yourself and others.

Get out and vote.
