VIDEO Face it, Steve. Donald Trump completely dominates your mind 24/7. Every hour, every minute, every second your thoughts are on one thing and one thing only...the Big Bad Orange Man. He defines your entire being to the extent that you are perpetually consumed by the RAGE you exhibited with Brian Williams during the Democrat convention. A RAGE that Steve Schmidt shares with his fellow Never Trumper grifter Rick Wilson with whom he hatched the Lincoln Project scam designed to fleece gullible MSNBC liberals and notable for its questionable finances. Oh, and notice how Brian Williams dropped all pretense...

Democrats have been desperately trying to think of ways to get Joe Biden out of debating President Donald Trump. As it is, Biden is now obligated to do three debates. Former Clintonista, now CNN Commentator Joe Lockhart tried to pitch the idea that because Trump “lies” that Biden would have to spend too much time correcting him so that he shouldn’t debate him. That of course is patently silly. If in fact Biden were able to correct Trump, that would actually make him look better. So that makes no sense. Now, Bill Kristol is trying another tack. Bill Kristol (Twitter)...

The most important American election since 1864 has revealed the choice. These are competent, moral, decent and Patriotic Americans. They will lead our nation back from the Trump/Pence abyss. @KamalaHarris will certainly be an upgrade from the morally preening sycophant Pence https://t.co/XJYjwebFhI— Steve Schmidt (@SteveSchmidtSES) August 11, 2020

“We are now in the midst of trying times when every one must be for or against his country, and show his colors too, by his every act. Whatever may have been my political opinions before, I have one sentiment now. There are but two parties, traitors and patriots and I want hereafter to be ranked with the latter.” COLUMBUS, Ohio -- These words of a great son of Ohio, Ulysses S. Grant, in a letter to his father in the early days of the Civil War, are our guide and lodestar today. For us, they serve as inspiration as...

The Lincoln Project, a GOP anti-Trump group, on Wednesday launched a $4 million ad buy targeting Senate contests in Maine, Alaska and Montana. The buy, which was first reported by Axios, will air for seven to 10 days in key markets in the three states. The ads in Alaska and Maine express support for challengers to Republican incumbent Sens. Steve Daines (Mont.) and Dan Sullivan (Alaska). The spots are dubbed "Real" in Alaska and "Strong" in Montana. The group endorsed Democrat Al Gross in its ad in Alaska ahead of the state's Democratic and independent primary on Aug. 18. Meanwhile,...

President Trump has been fighting adversaries ever since he announced he was running for President of the United States. It’s not just Democrats, Iran and China he has had to delicately maneuver since taking office, but a group of GOP anti-Trump political operatives as well. The group named the Lincoln Project, announced its existence last November with a scathing New York Times op-ed against the President. They announced their purpose to obstruct Trump’s reelection by “persuading enough disaffected conservatives, Republicans and Republican-leaning independents in swing states” to vote against him. Oh, and take down as many Republican members of Congress...

Steve Schmidt, one of the co-founders of anti-Trump political action group the Lincoln Project, met with then-candidate Donald Trump and tried to join his campaign during a 2016 Manhattan meeting, sources with knowledge of the conversation told The Post. But the Republican operative — best known for his work on John McCain’s failed presidential bid before becoming one of the faces of the “Never Trump” movement — failed to get the gig because Trump thought he was a “total idiot,” one of the sources said. Ten days after Schmidt’s March 2016 meeting at Trump Tower, the campaign hired Paul Manafort...

"The department was established to protect America from the ever-present threat of global terrorism. It was not established to be the president’s personal militia," Ridge said, alluding to the department's creation after the 9/11 attacks. Ridge did say he would "welcome the opportunity to work with any federal agency to reduce crime or lawlessness in the cities" if he were governor. But "it would be a cold day in hell before I would consent to an uninvited, unilateral intervention into one of my cities," he added, specifically calling out how the federal authorities were unwelcome in Portland.

Crack pot Brent Bozell. Ironic indeed. Of course it was all topped by the nasal twanged proto fascist @marklevinshow, who responded to the original hit piece by demanding the IRS, DOJ and FEC investigate @ProjectLincoln because that is what these illiberal frauds and cancerous— Steve Schmidt (@SteveSchmidtSES) July 21, 2020 Useless POS Steve Schmidt, a lowlife bigot, and his punk comrades, need a collective criminal anal exam. https://t.co/f5obWK5H52— Mark R.

The NeverTrump Lincoln Project released a gross anti-Trump ad July 1, mocking the phony claim that Russian President Vladimir gave President Donald Trump his endorsement for 2020. What hypocrites.

WASHINGTON — The founders of the Lincoln Project, a headline-grabbing new anti-Trump political action committee formed by GOP operatives who describe the president as “crook” and “huckster,” have their own checkered dealings with Russia and the tax man, documents obtained by the Post reveal. Since its inception last November — announced with a blistering New York Times op-ed — the brainchild of George Conway, Steve Schmidt, Rick Wilson and John Weaver has raked in more than $19.4 million dollars, according to FEC filings, and needled President Trump repeatedly with provocative TV ads. But the group — which the National Review...

Six more billionaires recently donated to the Lincoln Project, a Republican-led super-PAC doing its best to defeat Donald Trump in November. The largest donor, supplying $1 million, was billionaire hedge fund manager Stephen Mandel Jr., founder of Lone Pine Capital, according to Federal Election Commission filings released Wednesday. Other supporters include Hollywood billionaire David Geffen (who donated $100,000), Boston media magnate Amos Hostetter Jr. ($100,000) and Silicon Valley investors Michael Moritz ($50,000) and Chris Sacca ($10,000). Martha Karsh, who is married to private equity billionaire Bruce Karsh, gave $50,000. This group of donors is following in the footsteps of Walmart...

The Lincoln Project, a political action committee run by a cadre of GOP campaign operatives opposed to President Donald Trump, has paid out more than two million dollars to firms owned by its founding members. The group, which was formed last December, has made national headlines for its viral ads, many of which attack Trump and his congressional allies. Since its launch, the Lincoln Projected has raised more than $19 million, with most of the money ($16.8 million) coming in over the last three months. A significant portion of the group’s newfound contributions, as noted by the Center for Responsive...

In the Oliver Stone movie Ukraine On Fire (2016), there is a part that analyzes the organized "Color Revolutions" and how they were funded, planned and executed. If you look at how rioters in the USA are supplied with bats, bricks, and financial resources such as bail money etc. , its striking how similar (and diabolical) they really are. * I suggest watching the whole movie (almost 2hrs) but right now start at TS 41:20 and just watch 5-10 minutes.

A video released by a recently formed anti-Trump group on Monday sparked an overnight Twitter rampage from President Donald Trump. One of the group’s richest backers? Walmart billionaire Christy Walton. The Lincoln Project, a super-PAC founded by prominent Republicans including George Conway (husband of White House advisor Kellyanne Conway), released the video, titled “Mourning in America,” attacking Trump’s response to the coronavirus pandemic. The one-minute video postulated, “Under the leadership of Donald Trump, our country is weaker and sicker and poorer. And now Americans are asking, ‘If we have another four years like this, will there even be an America?’”...

The Lincoln Project, led by outspoken Never Trump personalities like Rick Wilson and George Conway, devoted over 89 percent of its disbursements to “operating expenditures,” according to the Federal Election Commission (FEC). The FEC data, covering the period from November 5, 2019, to March 31, 2020, showed the Never Trump super PAC — which describes its primary mission as defeating both “President Trump and Trumpism at the ballot box” — reporting $2,587,886.64 in total contributions and $1,384,428.21 in total disbursements. According to the data, the super PAC reported $1,236,036.35 in “operating expenditures,” accounting for 89.3 percent of total disbursements in...

GOP group the Lincoln Project says it raised $16.8 million in the second quarter of 2020 as it ramps up its anti-Trump efforts ahead of the general election. In a filing with the Federal Election Commission posted Wednesday, the group said it spent $7.2 million and has $10.8 million cash on hand. It also owes more than $263,500 in debt. Among the organization's most prominent donors are billionaire hedge fund manager Stephen Mandel, who gave $1 million, business magnate David Geffen, who gave $100,000, and Bain Capital chairman Joshua Bekenstein, who also gave $100,000. The Lincoln Project was founded late...

John Weaver, one co-founder of The Lincoln Project Super PAC, signed a deal in 2019 with a Russian state-owned company to advocate for its interests — but ultimately rejected the contract once he was accused of hypocrisy for his years of calling President Donald Trump a pawn of Vladimir Putin. Weaver, a career political consultant who started The Lincoln Project to defeat President Donald Trump’s reelection bid, signed an agreement on May 10, 2019 with Tenam Corporation, “a subsidiary of Rosatom, the Russian state-owned nuclear energy company,” Politico reported at the time. According to the contract, which Weaver was required...

They sound like Leftists. They act like Leftists. And now we learn that the Never-Trumper group called “The Lincoln Project” is funded by a Leftist billionaire, according to a new book on the subject. And a collective “Oh, it all makes sense to me now!” just spread over the land. The project features, among others, GOP political strategists Rick Wilson, Steve Schmidt, the Washington Post’s “conservative” columnist Jennifer Rubin, former “Weekly Standard” editor Bill Kristol, and disgruntled attorney, George “Mr. Kellyanne” Conway, who spends nearly all of his time trying to ruin his wife’s White House career. Judging by their...

When Never Trumper and Lincoln Project co-founder Rick Wilson went on Stephen Colbert's parody news show on Monday night, Tooning Out the News, it would be a reasonable assumption that he probably looked forward to the interview. After all since the interviewers would be cartoon characters, it would probably be a lot of fun. Plus, since Stephen Colbert suffers from every bit as much of Trump Derangement Syndrome as Wilson he could expect it to be a friendly interview as well. What could go wrong? Well, everything. As you can see, by the end of interview, poor Wilson was stunned...
