And Stephen Miller.
These Lincoln Project videos are so fast moving, it’s hard to see and hear them. This one, I had to single step, watching it frame by frame, to see it all. (Now I may go back to some of the earlier videos too and watch them frame by frame.)
The background music is a bit too loud relative to the speech. It might work well in a spiffy home cinema set-up, not so much on more ordinary devices (a problem not unknown in a fair few TV programmes over here).
True. No love lost between those competing barracudas, for sure.
With any luck, they turn on each other in a very public way.
Handicappers, even now, are taking bets on the relative viciousness with which various Trump associates will be turning on each other, once the danger that Trump can do anything about it is past.
I’m seriously hoping that if trump loses, that Pence will invoke the “Mad King protocol”.
Now then, I don’t think it will be actually necessary to have Jaime Lannister kill Trump.
Now, I’m picturing a slap fight between Miller and Jared.
Exactly. No point risking their manicures.
Here’s a good new LP ad- simply a David Cross bit with accompanying images and text:
They are perfectly aware of that. Those trump-or-death folks (although now it is trump-and-death) are not the target. They want to sway trump voters who are ambivalent now. There are plenty of those. In the swing states we only need say 5% of those folks to vote Dem or stay home.
Not too much of a shock, but the Lincoln Project put out a Kamala Harris video within hours of the announcement:
I presume they had several of these pre-made for the likely picks.
I imagine so, given the quality of the production. Much like media outlets have pre-written obituaries for famous people, I’m sure that this was put together some time ago, along with similar videos for the other possible choices.
“More Americans have died in the last three months than ever before.” Er…no. Pretty sure the number of Americans who died prior to the last three months is more than the number of those who have died in the last three months.

Also: “happy warrior”?
I’ve heard the term before. Interestingly, usually referring to conservative politicians or pundits; people optimistically fighting for a better tomorrow, yadda yadda. I think Rush Limbaugh self-describes that way. Whether the language was intentionally picked to appeal to conservatives, because the guys writing it are steeped in that mindset or for some other reason, I dunno.
Heck, even Hubert Humphrey was nicknamed “the Happy Warrior,” apparently for his optimism and for fighting for the downtrodden.
I’m thinking as the population gets bigger the total number of people who die get bigger. Percentage wise I am sure there are higher numbers out there, like maybe the civil war had some pretty high percentages. The total death number is fairly meaningless unless you put it in context of percentage of the population.
Its a shame no one from the media, John Swan for instance, has pointed that out to Trump or Trumpers.
Could it mean that more Americans have died in the last 3 months than any prior 3 month period? I might believe that.
