In its Latest Ads, The Lincoln Project Shows Us What We Should and Should Not Be Thankful for this Thanksgiving

During this Thanksgiving, the producers at the Lincoln Project do not disappoint.

In two ads, they perfectly frame what the American People should be thankful for and what they should scorn this holiday season and beyond.

The first ad titled "Biden Delivers" shows portions of President Biden's optimistic and forward-looking speech to the American People during the signing of the Bipartisan Infrastructure with scenes of American Infrastructure and life as a backdrop.

Mr. Biden states:

"My message to the American People is this: America is moving again and your life is going to change for the better. So with confidence, optimism, with vision, and faith in each other, let's believe in possibilities. Let's believe in one another and let's believe in America."

The ad ends with the caption: Trump Promised  Biden Delivered.

Meanwhile, in the latest episode of "Last Week in the Republican Party:"

There is Minority "Leader" Kevin McCarthy giving an eight-hour speech on the bipartisan infrastructure bill on almost any topic other than the bipartisan infrastructure bill.

There is Matt under investigation Gaetz saying killer Kyle Rittenhouse should be a House intern.

There is Mike Pillow Guy Lindell calling for a new election without voting machines.

There is Representative Dan Crenshaw who thinks the withdrawal from Afghanistan was not a good thing (to be fair, time will tell.)

There is Louisana Senator John Kennedy behaving like Joseph McCarthy in going after Biden Comptroller of the Currency Nominee Saule Omarova, a former Soviet Union resident who fled to live the American Dream, by stating "I don't know whether to call you professor or comrade."

There is Michael Flynn calling Nancy Pelosi "Pontious Pilate."

There is the reminder that Arizona's Paul Gosar was censured for posting a video killing Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and threatening President Biden.

The two Lincoln Project Ads clearly illustrate what the American People should celebrate this Thanksgiving and what they should discard.

Arizona Democratic Party issues a statement with a similar theme to the Lincoln Project Ads.

In a pre-Thanksgiving press release, the Arizona Democratic Party issued a statement reminding Grand Canyon State residents that it was the Biden/Harris Administration and their representatives in Congress (Kyrsten Sinema, Anne Kirkpatrick, Mark Kelly, Raul Grijalva, Ruben Gallego, Thomas O'Halleran, and Greg Stanton) who supported and enacted both the American Rescue Plan and the Infrastructure bill while Arizona's Republican Congressional Delegation spit on it.

Remember this is the legislation, according to the Democratic Party statement that:

  • "Got shots in arms: Nearly 200 million Americans — including almost 4 million Arizonans — have been fully vaccinated.
  • Put checks in pockets: Economic impact payments helped 4.4 million Arizonans — 87% of all adults — make ends meet.
  • Cut taxes: Each month, the families of 1.4 million Arizona children receive $353 million in middle-class tax cuts to help cover the cost of raising kids.
  • Safely reopened schools: Arizona schools received over $2.5 billion to provide the resources they needed to return to in-person learning while protecting the health and safety of students and educators.
  • Supported small businesses: Arizona small businesses received over $200 million in loans to ensure that they could keep their doors open and their staff on payroll.
  • Led us to an unprecedented economic recovery: Since President Biden took office, the Arizona unemployment rate has fallen from 6.7% to 5.2%.
  • Transform our state: The legislation will invest over $7 billion for roads, bridges, water systems, high-speed internet connectivity, public transportation, airports, ports, climate resiliency, and more.
  • Create a generation of jobs: The historic package will create jobs for the tradesmen, construction workers, manufacturers, transportation workers, city planners, and engineers who plan, build, and execute the infrastructure projects.
  • Build Back Arizona: Upgraded roads, modernized airports, and enhanced internet connectivity will build an Arizona for the future and ensure that our state is an attractive destination for families and businesses."

The legislation also reduced food insecurity, expanded and extended the Earned Income and Child Tax Credit, made health care more affordable, provided aid to local governments, and invested in schools.

Have a safe and great Thanksgiving week everyone.
