Numerous violations of the Hatch Act, most noticeably by the Secretary of State.

They don't care because they know that there's no effective recourse.

You should not believe all Boilers or all anything else.

On air in GA last night, I think it worked well personally.

I had no idea Biden lost his first wife, and daughter back in the 70's.

That ad is a good one.

Lincoln Project really does just push the ads out, 3 today alone from what I can tell.

I thought this was a good ad as well.

As stated by a Black, Liberal, former Mayor of San Francisco, in the liberal SF newspaper:

Willie Brown: Burning and looting in the name of justice will hand election to Trump

https://www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/...f-15523349.php

"The biggest threat to a Democratic election sweep in November isn’t the Republican in the White House, but the demonstrators who are tearing up cities in the name of racial justice"
"A recent Harvard CAPS/Harris poll found that three-fourths of people surveyed were concerned about rising crime in the nation’s cities. Nearly half were worried about rising crime where they live.
Numbers like that have Democrats in a heck of a bind.

If they stand up and condemn the “demonstrators,” the left wing will label them as Trump flunkies and they’ll be in all sorts of trouble.

If they keep quiet or offer passive responses, voters will assume they’re OK with burning"

There's a ;arge (and growing) part of that is feeling that Dems are going to manage to pull defeat out of the jaws of victory again. These protests are starting to play right into Trumps messaging and even I as a centrist are beginning to wonder if the stance being taken shouldn't be tougher than the 'hands off' way it appears to be right now .

This is, of course, why Trump has been stoking these confrontations all along. At this point, a "tough stance" will also play into Trump's hands since he is the sitting president so he would get "the credit". And going softly softly allows him to continue to stoke fear and also blame the Dems, however ridiculous that may be. Trump is off the Wisconsin soon to "visit" after the Kenosha killings. By pure coincidence I'm sure it just happens to be a swing state that he needs.

I don't at all put it past this country to put the man back in office, as absurd and dangerous as that is. He has sown division, fear and anger across this country and that has always been about divide and conquer.

Biden just needs to get on TV and distance himself from the Progressives, make it clear they are not part of his coalition.
