what lincoln project says about their latest ad:
PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — A veteran was beaten by federal officers with batons during demonstrations outside the Federal Courthouse and Justice Center in downtown Portland on Saturday night, the 51st consecutive night of protests against police brutality in the city. On Sunday, that man said he’s recovering at home, but will likely need a few surgeries on his hand as a result of the night before.
This is the video that captured the nation’s attention this weekend, shot by Portland Tribune reporter Zane Sparling. It shows Chris David, a Navy veteran, being struck repeatedly by federal law enforcement officers outside the courthouse building. You can read his account of the night here.
“I stood there with my hands down by my sides and they just started whaling on me,” said David.
He said he had taken the bus downtown to attend the protest and wanted to ask federal officers a specific question.
“I stood in the street in front of them and I started asking them if it was okay to violate their oath of the Constitution,” said David. He said one of the men shoved him backward.
“I lose my balance and fall backwards a bit, and then plant myself,” described David. “That’s right when they start beating me.”
“They kept hitting my batons and I think they decided that wasn’t going to work, so the two pepper spray hits I think I took, and that ended that,” said David. “That was not fun, so I flipped them off and walked to the corner of the park as best I could and I was losing my vision. I was walking through a giant cloud of CS gas.”
David said he sat on a park bench and a field medic named Tav came to his rescue and guided him to someone’s car.
“I couldn’t see at all. I could only see shapes, vague shapes,” described David. “Tav was frantically trying to get an ambulance.”
He said they were able to flag down EMTs and he went to the hospital. David was left with a fractured hand. He said it will require surgery.

sturge, athough NYTimes hinted at it:
imagine that ms maxwell is a little nervous right now given she’s in the same place epstein was incarcerated,
Can Biden be sworn in on Zoom? I don’t see former presidents attending, nor do I see pricey, inaugural balls.
The first day, he can sign EOs undoing tRUMP’s EOs. The next 99 days will be much more complicated.
Bink, thanks for the middle of the night Vampire weekend clip. They certainly are legit. And I like the fromtman’s guitar. Bought one just like it 22 years ago. (Epiphone Sheraton II – natural finish. Still my favorite from a visual perspective. )
Chris Wallace gets my vote for interview of the week. He allowed Orange Lardius to show America what an idiot and liar he actually is.
This particular Lincoln Project ad needs TV time. There are folks that do not know this is happening. There are some who know it, but don’t understand that this sinister and illegal. Can Bloomberg donate to buy them air time during the evening news?
Wait, what? Chris Wallace is the conscience of Faux Noise and will help to save us from a second term? Well, OK.
The exasperation on turdman’s face when Chris wouldn’t just accept what he was saying was priceless. “Hey, you’re supposed to b on my side!” The Young Murdochians having donated to Biden maybe has suggested the winds of change down in Dixie-Fox Land. But Chris, after all, IS a “Newsman” not a total fox swine like the rest.
Dan Rather even praised the interview.
So, so far it’s Cavuto and Wallace who are beginning to clap back on him.
The engine (fox) pushes the wagon (gop) to the top of the hill, then a bit of free-wheeling on the crest, then the engine drags on the wagon as it wants to gather speed on the way down. Fox may be entering “drag” mode. Maybe not, but maybe.
I am not fake news, Mr President.

Yep, the gaslighting continues from Mika and others. She and her husband did more to give us Trump than most I can think of in the media. Mika also seems to forget her times with Trump at Mar A Logo. They make me sick.
Wow, Joy is getting it going in a big way!
There is already a divide between Fox News and the Fox entertainment goobers. Perhaps it will widen. We’ll see.
Yeah, Mika be fulla crap on that one.
But then she’s never been the sharpest knife in the pencil drawer. But she got em ALL beat in “eye-rolling”.
Think part of the new announcement of expanded power to use federal law enforcement agents to quell unrest in our cities will be that now the uniform for federal LE officers acting to quell unrest will include hobnail boots and brown shirts?
Pog….right now they’re involved in a heated debate about whether to use jackboots or hobnails.
Mika’s trying to cover Morning Joe’s ass for giving Lardius fawning daily free airtime during the 2016 campaign until Joe finally got fed up and hung up on SFB when he wouldn’t answer a couple of Joe’s questions. By then the damage had been done. Just WTF does she think that Hillary would know about the derangement of Lardius that she failed to tell us that every fucking person who watched the campaign couldn’t gather from what was broadcast?
Sturg, I would guess the hobnail boots would make a more audible impression but jackboots would be prettier.
Apparently Lardius thinks he’ll get votes from moms if the kids go back to school in September, virus be damned. From WaPo‘s updates:
We have entered a very dangerous place. The one bright spot – states aren’t necessarily buying what Lardius is selling. Even Texas isn’t going along in lockstep with dipshit’s plans.
…glad you enjoyed the music, Pogo. It was rather annoying to have my Youtube dance party constantly interrupted by Republican campaign and attack ads, and i must say, all of those ads were terribly tone-deaf (pardon the pun). Republicans don’t have a clue.
Who knows what will happen come January. The one thing I’d LOVE to see is Joe get sworn in (I don’t care if it’s on Zoom or whatever) and then see the secret service drag Don and Melania out of the White House.
Although… I’d still put betting money on if the polls say he’s going to lose (especially badly) come October… he leaves the country before the election.
Also, genuine thanks to corporate retailers for providing the guidance and leadership that my federal government refuses to provide.
Land of the Buy One Get One Free, Home of the Big Savings
i’m sort of glad the conventions and inaugural must be modest, they had gotten out of control
If he obviously loses he will have to leave, so they’re going to do everything in their power to see that Biden is not “declared” winner. Some sort of chaotic limbo will do nicely.
The worst thing Biden can do is associate himself with Hillary Clinton in any way, on any platform. If Faux can’t have Bernie, they will glom into HC. We don’t need that.
Yes, they can’t cheat if it’s not close. And, if SFB still refuses to go, I’d love to see him frog-walked out to the lawn.
It will be interesting to see how President Biden rebuilds America, after the toddler tyrant has made such a mess of things. I’m sure Elizabeth Warren has well-thought-out plans for many issues. I’m sure Bailey helped.
Hindsight Headstones…
let them eat cake updated
the hill:
GOPers are wanting 1968 all over again. they want more film footage of rioting in the streets.
this time the Rump in place of nixon and biden in place of hubert humphrey, protestors just have shorter hair and are more diversified.

New Jersey suspected assassin fount dead of gunshots.
Gee whilikers
I hope that Biden has a truck load of Executive Orders all typed up and ready to sign right on the Capitol steps. Reverse as much of SFB destruction immediately after the swearing in.
Even before inaugural Biden could face his first challenge. First question: What’s the enforcement mechanism for the Electoral College if Trump refuses to recognize his loss?
craig, i’d say it was in the hands of the congress.
wiki’s take:
Gestapo in the streets, check.
political assassinations underway, check.
Maybe the mandarin face will send the troops to surround the tent village in Powderhorn Park in Mpls. That could be riveting tv, ‘cuz even Bernie!-ists and friends of the fur seals here in MN are armed to the teeth with h/p rifles, 12 ga shotguns, sidearms, m80s and bottle rockets. Of course it just depends on the people’s mood. On the 5th 100F day in a row, I’d expect people to be eager to fight.
Craig, it is not up to Trump, The constitution is quite clear on that. With the exception of the Border Patrol I doubt if there is any federal force who will follow his orders come January 20th. So all Biden has to do is find a federal Judge to swear him in and ask the Secret Service to remove any trespassers. If Biden is feeling nice he can ask them to restrain their enthusiasm to one bounce.

Worst case scenario :
trump has not yet fled or died before the inauguration. The WH is barred as tightly as the underground bunker below the Reichstag. Mrs Pelosi phones the Mayor of DC requesting that the Electricity, Sewer & Water to the WH (and Blair House) be shut off.
*Presto* – out pops a germ-o-phobe !
So what is the matter with Texas? Can’t Texas produce anybody crazy enough to lead the Republican party?
But Florida? really?

That agenda – drawing dems away & to the repube side. They might try, but we can’t be fooled!

Patd, I don’t think that’s the answer you’re after. That only applies if there’s a tie in the electoral college. It’s been a while since I’ve done the research, but my recollection of the research I did was that if a president is not inaugurated by January 20, the speaker of the house becomes the president until the president is inaugurated.
Jack, I think a more likely scenario is that the Republican party would file a lawsuit with the Supreme Court contesting the election results and would ask that the court place a stay on any activity related to the swearing in of a new president until the court resolves the contest to the election results. The question would be whether the court would even accept such a suit, and if it did whether Lardius would remain in office pending the outcome of the suit, or whether Nancy Pelosi would become the president pending the outcome.
President Biden might also have a sweep done of the WH for Poo-tin’s surveillance before he moves in. What was in that soccer ball? Cash, a thumb drive, blackmail pics, bugs? I wouldn’t take the parting gift from Melanier, eithah. Straight to the landfill.
Every trump appointee is a potential Russian mole.
Handing out food, with Ivanker, at the side of a televangelist. (They can’t undo an ethics violation, promoting beans, by handing out food. What brand of beans will they hand out?)
Tweeting a pic of his fat, orange head in a mask, claiming to be the most patriotic person, after hundreds of thousands have been sickened and/or died because he derided the use of masks.
The name tRUMP, and all those associated with it, will always be associated with death of Americans, corruption, and, fascism.
Bink – As well as Nunes, McConnell, Graham, Cotton…

Yep, we know the body count is actually higher.
pogo, because the electoral college vote is officially counted by the congress, formally tabulated by both house & senate in joint session, Rump can’t very well claim he won if they announce joe has the numbers. that’s all i was addressing. up to that announcement, he can rant all he wants to about rigged elections.
as for transition time between election and inauguration where normally it is the custom of outgoing admin to provide incoming team with info of what’s on the burners & maybe what property stays/goes, i doubt if the Rump will allow assistance and may in fact set a few booby traps. there certainly won’t be any how-to workbooks on pandemics left for the newbies like obama did for him.
Well, I just finished watching Joy’s first show. Hillary of course was brilliant as she always is. Joe and her in the same hour, amazing if you’re a proud Democrat and I am. To the people who gave us Trump, you stink!
Craig
I agree with you, glad no Dem convention. Its been over the top. Not needed for the times were living in.
Those were the days. GHW Bush to President Clinton.
Tony… I watched it too. Thought Joy did fantastic… thought Joe did fantastic… thought Hillary did fantastic! It’ll be good to have a show at 7pm on MSNBC again that I will want to watch.
I love how Joe speaks directly into the camera, condemns Putin, and tells him when he’s President there will be consequences.
Hi Renee
Yes, I was really uplifted to see the party leaders united in beating Trump. .All hands on deck. I couldn’t watch Tweety but Joy is great. I agree, nice to have the 7 pm slot back!!
LOLOLOLOL. Duval County sheriff says because of lack of plans by RNCommittee he can’t provide security for the RNConvention. BWAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!! If you gave Lardius a ball bearing as a toy he would find a way to break it.
trump wants to manage the county for the next four years ?
he can’t even manage a five day convention in a 10,000 foot arena.
I doubt that he can manage the denture cup on his bedside table.
143,000 dead of C19.
On Thursday trump will achieve a thousand gross of cadavers.
Patd, The fat ass won’t wait until all of the votes and then tabulated in the electors are ready to vote. Hint: Bush v. Gore.
SFB will start giving COVID pressers, again. Trying to give the impression that he’s handling this mess? There is no way for him to spin this with more lies.
https://www.cnn.com/2020/07/20/politics/disputed-election-crisis-trump/index.html
Yep, the fat, Russian asset won’t give up power without a fight.
https://www.cnn.com/2020/07/20/politics/trump-administration-federal-agents-chicago/index.html
tRUMP and his goons are preparing to commit unconstitutional acts in Chicago.
https://www.cnn.com/2020/07/20/politics/nikema-williams-john-lewis-seat/index.html
Let’s hope Nikema Williams wins John Lewis’ seat, and not the reality show-felon that tRUMP pardoned.
“I take Responsibility always.” Lardius actually said that Sunday.
“I don’t take responsibility at all”. Fatass on March 10, 2020 on lack of coronavirus testing. They record these things, asshole.
Excuse me, where are my manners? President Asshole.
Pogo
President asshole, yes, made my night. Well that and Joy Reid
Desperate.
WaPo. Stupid shit.
Tony, I live to serve. Glad I could add a little something to your night.
Something from twitter I just had to share
Rock on, Portland. Best city in the U.S.
If only we could harness the stress in my household- it could power a small city.
Colbert, “That explains the new trump campaign slogan, ‘Get in the van.’”
Well, i got a young friend in the U.S. Army who is too busy serving his country to follow the news, and hadn’t heard about trump’s lack of response to Russian bounties targeting U.S. soldiers, so i just told him (links provided).
…he’s pissed.
