The Lincoln Project evolved.

When the Lincoln Project was founded in 2019, they were a modest SuperPac, bent on defeating Trump, and a few Trump enablers in the Senate.

Then came 2020 - life and death, democracy or dictatorship. And they told us which side they were on, and why they had chosen the name the Lincoln Project.

For those who will never forgive them for being ex-Republican, it's worth remembering that when they were kids, the Democratic Party in the south was the party of Jim Crow. For the likes of Stuart Stevens and Rick Wilson, that was not an option. After Goldwater, it took nearly 60 years for the 'Party of Lincoln' to be dead, buried, dug up and cremated. But here we are.

LOL

I was reading a WaPo piece about the insurrection (link below) when I got to this sentence -

Investigators caution there is an important legal distinction between gathering like-minded people for a political rally — which is protected by the First Amendment — and organizing an armed assault on the seat of American government.

Ya think?

We will be remembered.


Our dead will be remembered.

Even if this is not the last pandemic, it will not be forgotten. A cautionary tale for the ages.

Ladies and Gentlemen. Mr David Bowie. Slow Burn.

A premonition of life during lockdown.
The lead single off Heathen (2002) featuring David Bowie locked in a recording booth.



Like a Slow Burn
Leading us on and on and on
Like a Slow Burn
Twirling us round and round
and upside down
There's fear overhead
There's fear overground
Slow Burn

What do you think? Let the 'QAnon Shaman' appear in full regalia?

He is the foremost freakshow face of the insurrection. Let the GOP Senators take in exactly what sort of people they are siding with.



Full regalia? Why yes - religion über alles.
