New Lincoln Project ad takes on the ‘Trump crime spree’: ‘It’s a billion-dollar criminal enterprise’

Disgruntled former top Republican strategists took on President Donald Trump’s “law and order” message in a new 2020 video posted on Saturday.

The ad, by the Lincoln Project, recounts how many top former Trump officials have been convicted of felonies.

“It’s not a campaign, it’s a billion-dollar criminal enterprise,” the narrator begins.

The ad noted the criminal convictions of Paul Manafort, Rick Gates, Mike Flynn, George Papadopoulos, Michael Cohen and Roger Stone.

“Nixon was bad, Trump is worse,” the narrator declares.

“Trump is the most corrupt president in U.S. history. There’s only one way to end the Trump crime spree — throw him and his crooks out of office,” the ad concludes.

LANSING, Mich. — Beyond being the women leading Michigan’s state government, Gretchen Whitmer, Dana Nessel and Jocelyn Benson have a lot in common.

All three are Democratic lawyers and part of Generation X, with long lists of accomplishments. Ms. Whitmer was the first woman to lead the Democratic caucus in the State Senate. Ms. Nessel argued before the Supreme Court and helped pave the way for the legalization of same-sex marriage. And Ms. Benson, a Harvard Law School graduate, was the dean of the Wayne State University Law School in Detroit.

By 2018, the three were swept into statewide office on a wave that flipped much of Michigan’s leadership from red to blue and put three women — Ms. Whitmer, the governor; Ms. Nessel, the attorney general; and Ms. Benson, the secretary of state — in charge of running the state for the first time.

Now these women share another distinction: They’re all targets of President Trump.
[...]
Michigan Democrats believe that the state leaders are a not-so-secret weapon in the 2020 election. They see the president’s frequent barbs — he has called Ms. Nessel “the Wacky Do Nothing Attorney General” and Ms. Benson a “rogue Secretary of State” — as helping fuel the anti-Trump bandwagon in the state, which before 2016 had not voted for a Republican presidential candidate since 1988.
[...]
Despite little evidence, Mr. Trump has repeatedly criticized absentee voting as an invitation for election fraud. He has particularly focused on Ms. Benson’s mailing effort, initially threatening to withhold federal money for coronavirus relief before backing off.

In an op-ed article published in Newsweek in late May, Ms. Benson wondered why the president had singled her out when at least six other states were also sending absentee ballot applications to all voters.

“The obvious answer is that Michigan is one of several states that will heavily influence the outcome of this year’s presidential election,” she wrote. “We cannot let misinformation — whether it comes from the White House, the Kremlin or anywhere else — sow seeds of doubt in our elections.”

Others have pointed to another reason for Mr. Trump’s attacks: his history of demeaning prominent women.

“In some ways, it’s not surprising that you’ve got this trifecta of women in leadership, all of whom are Democrats,” said Debbie Walsh, the director at the Center for American Women and Politics at Rutgers University. “All of whom have been exercising leadership in making sure that the state remains healthy and have elections that function.”

She added, “He sees this all as hostile acts against him.”

The three state leaders are not the only women in Michigan whom the president has targeted. He has also repeatedly criticized Mary Barra, the chief executive of General Motors, over her decision to close American auto manufacturing plants and what he perceived as a slow transformation of some plants to make ventilators for virus treatment.

“Women are sharply viewing it as anti-female,” said Richard Czuba, the founder of the Glengariff Group, a nonpartisan polling firm in Lansing. “I can see him going after Whitmer if he’s worried about her being on the ticket. But he has systemically attacked every prominent female politician in Michigan.”

The state and national Republican parties have adopted Mr. Trump’s campaign against the three female leaders, bashing Ms. Whitmer’s handling of the virus, suing her over her use of emergency powers and slamming her frequent appearances on cable news, which they have called an “audition” to become Mr. Biden’s running mate.
[...]
Ms. Whitmer said on a recent campaign call, “We’re all that woman from Michigan, and by the end of this, Donald Trump is going to know not to mess with these women from Michigan.”

Apparently there's a Trump ad showing fires and looting with the tag line "you won't be safe in Biden's America". Does anyone see the irony in the fact that the images are from Trump's America?

covid, BLM protests, rioting and looting have all occurred under 45's watch.
he owns all of it...

Goya Foods sales take off after liberal boycott

Goya is a staple of Cuban food. My grandparents ate Goya black beans twice a day for nearly 90 years. And now the Left is trying to cancel Hispanic culture and silence free speech. #BuyGoya

Democrats and Hollywood won't buy Goya. But Americans are buying it in droves.

Goya Foods gains over 100,000 Facebook followers in 24-hours

Conservatives and Trump supporters are flocking to the latest victim of cancel culture to support their unyielding resistance to cancellation.

Buyng their one protest can of goya beans isn't going to help when the regular buyers who buy many goya products don't buy any more.

Man, 30, Dies After Attending a ‘Covid Party,’ Texas Hospital Says

“I thought this was a hoax,” the man told his nurse, a hospital official said.

They lied, he lied, they do not care what they say if it fits the narrative.

I never thought I would see the day when America would look the way it looks today.
