The Lincoln Project's latest anti-Trump ad is entirely in Russian
The Week ^ | July 2, 2020 | Peter Weber

Well, this is a new one. On Wednesday, the Republican operatives behind the Lincoln Project released another ad attacking President Trump — in fact another one tied to the growing scandal over Russian bounties for slain U.S. troops in Afghanistan, indirectly — though this one's a little different: It's entirely in Russian. In case you were curious, the ad "is actually in good Russian and voiced over by a good Russian actor," says Russian-born U.S. journalist Julia Ioffe.

The Twitter promo for the ad is in English, though. "Add 'America First' to the laundry list of scams Trump has sold in his life," the Lincoln Project tweeted. "It's clearly Trump first, Russia second, and America last." Not terribly subtle, but the ad, at least, is based on a true story.

Uhhhhh....what growing scandal over Russian bounties for slain U.S. troops in Afghanistan? That's been totally debunked.

Desperation calls for Russian messages. Where do these people get this nonsense?

God was and is and is to come.

The propaganda machine is still going with this fake reality where Trump is Putin’s puppet.

The groupthink and lack of any reasoning is frightening.

So... who exactly would think up the idea of PAYING CASH to Afghans to go do their bidding and kill the someone? Broke Russia? OR does that sound like something from someone who has just spent 19 years PAYING AFGHANS to hopefully do their bidding? The US INTEL COMMUNITY. The single biggest aspect of our war there is the boatload of money we have dumped on them.

Also, in the exceedingly unlikely event that some goat humper actually DID tell our intel guys this story, did it ever occur to our “intelligence” guys that the most famous middlemen in human history might have been negotiating, trying to hike the price on what the USA pays them to NOT shoot at our guys? “Yes, American, the Russians pay us much more to shoot at your men than you pay us NOT to...”.
They were scamming our gullible CIA people at best who could not recognize a simple ploy.

That, or the neocon intel people who claim Trump is owned by Russia are launching another attack and made the whole thing up.

DC is an absolute sewer. I pray each morning that the Canary Island landslide will happen and the a merciful tsunami 300 feet tall will flush that east coast toilet.

“The Lincoln Project’s latest anti-Trump ad is entirely in Russian”

I wonder if they realize that Lincoln is slated for deletion from US history. They may want to change their name.

Never said the GOPe was very smart.

They weren’t called “The Stupid Party” for nothing.

TWO soldiers have been killed in Afghanistan in 2020. Either the story is a total, complete lie, or the Taliban is bad shots.

the Lincoln Project...


Was the name of the “project” inspired by the Lincoln Brigade of the Spanish Civil War? I had a friend in college whose dad fought in the Lincoln brigade. They had their reunion in Moscow, which tells you all you need to know about them. See, our side can smear back.

What about the poor people in the Canary Island, which might have the best weather in the world?

They are backing the entire RAT ticket from Biden down to dogcatcher so they cannot be called “GOP”.

But the founders are

George Conway, fat, ugly, hopefully soon to be ex husband of Kellyanne Conway

Ex McStain campaign manager Steve Schmidt.

Ex McStain and Kaisch guru (WHO WORKED FOR THE DCCC inbetween his RINO service making it disgusting that Kasich would hire him) John Weaver

D-bag Rick Wilson

NH failed Congressional Candidate Jennifer Horn

And a few no names

Ron Steslow
Reed Galen
Mike Madrid

Thanks for info! MY opinion and, as of now, I believe I can still voice my opinion....any GOP person who will vote for Biden cares not one iota for our great country. I realize why Dems & Libs will vote for Biden; but, again imho, Biden is not capable of running our country. These GOP people KNOW this yet they’ll vote for him..??!!
