Anything new? Or just continued regurgitations?

Rick, you inspired me to bang out another quick short post on the "Lyin' King."

I expect to get a lot of denial, defence, and deflection from his True Believers.

First, let me state unequivocally: Rick Wilson is a gem. I LMAO, as the kids used to say, at his pithy, caustic, clear eyed assessments.

Secondly, Rick, while I fully understand your cautionary note about Trump allowing the political professionals to "tame" the diarrhea of id that typically blasts out of his gob, do you really think he will tow their line, over time? He has shown, on numerous occasions, that no one can do this for any length of time, and that the usual nihilistic Trump stream-of-consciousness belligerence will ove come any attempt to "groom" him for acceptable discourse.

You know, you work in a field with a higher than average percentage of functioning sociopaths and moral vacuums. Good for you that you’ve retained a sense of right and wrong.

Now that he has the field to himself, how long until he blurts out the n-word into a hot mike? I say 60 at the most.

60 days that is. He may also favor us with his imitation of Jose Jimenez crossing the Rio Grande.

Rick is a fearless leader we can all get behind.

And now we see-> as no surprise whatsoever <-Mango Mussolini throws the good Ms. Haley under the bus, then ties her to the bumper of the bus to drag her through town. Until she loses all her friend.

When will they ever learn, loyalty with Herr Agolf is a one-way deal that is never reciprocated unless there's going to be a larger benefit to the baby-Fuhrer.

Takers only give when they can take something in return.

Maybe you’ve seen this already Rick, but the Biden campaign jumped on the Nikki Haley/Nancy Pelosi fiasco and created this video:

Loved that video, if I were to copy/paste the link would it work to share the video on Facebook? I don't know how else I could do it. Thank you for any help you can give.

Also, here’s another good ad that the Biden campaign put out recently:

Hi Katharine, I don’t use Facebook or Twitter. This link was embedded in another Substack newsletter, and I just copied and pasted it here; so if you do the same on Facebook, I’m guessing that would work.

Thank you! I appreciate your reply, going to give it a try tomorrow.

Nikki was never as impressive as she thought she was. I watched the first 25 minutes of the CNN Town Hall last week. Her frantic hand gestures and promises to fix too many problems didn't come across as relevant or believable. I laughed when she talked about bringing Democrats into the GOP, as if she didn't understand why they might trudge across the aisle to vote for her in the primary. I closed the window of my screen when she said she'd pardon Trump if she won the election (with the preface that he would, of course, need to be found guilty of something). What a farce.

Thank you for your charisma transplant comment, made me laugh out loud and heartily while my coworkers wondered what I am drinking!!

Pretty much every line was hilarious…

Excellent usage of "crapulous." Now I'm going to figure out a way to use it in a sentence.

Does The Lincoln Project have a suggestion box? If so (or even if not, let's be real), I think it's time for another "Trump Isn't Well" ad. It has to include the rant about how wet magnets don't work.

Reminds me of; we stay because we believe, we leave because we are disillusioned, we come back because we are lost.

Another splendid piece, RW. The MAGA’s Dear Orangutan may be calmed by his new trainers in short bursts, but with his daily hit of 10 to 15 fully caffeinated Diet Cokes in his prodigious gut, only a dart gun will keep this hyper-reactive 10 car pile-up weakling in check. Excellent.

Thumbs up for "Rickstradamus."
