@triciact  I hope you are following The Lincoln Project.  They've nailed pretty much everything you listed.  They are also targeting certain states so since I'm in a blue state, I don't see many of them unless I go on line.  Bottom Line:  You are right: it needs to be pounded daily everywhere we can.

Interesting to see that Barron will be attending school remotely?!? 

Private school attended by Barron Trump prohibited from in-person learning until October as President pushes openings.

I really didn’t know where to post this link but it is a must read. Apparently the TikTokers are undermining Iq45’s campaign by ordering tons of campaign materials to burn!

@lenor  for some odd reason I heard the song : Burn Baby Burn Disco Inferno  "Burn baby burn, disco inferno, Burn baby burn, burn that mother down, burn baby burn disco inferno , yeah. Burn baby burn, burn that mother down... start playing in my head and chills up and down my arms  "just can't stop...let my spark get hot, let my spirit burn free..." LOL

I was watching the Sunday morning programming today (This Week and Face the Nation) and they talked about the Lincoln Project. I did watch some of what they are doing. Glad to see it, but I think Biden and the dems need to jump on this too and say the same thing they are!

I think Biden's milquetoast reputation is making him a hard target for Trump's one liner categorizations. As long as he stays middle of the road on most everything publically, Trump can't pigeonhole him, and we know that if an insuit reads more than 7 or 8 words, his rabid base loses interest. He's been going aftet Biden for over a year now and "sleepy Joe" is still the best one he can come up with. There is not fun "lock her up" or "Lyin Ted" chants to do so the imbeciles following Trump are getting bored. 

If he goes after Trump as anything specific, it will give rise to the one line chant that will get people back to enjoying Trumpism the way they did in 2016. 

Yes, it is an approach you take with a 2 year old and not an adult capable of voting, but his ardent supporters are closer to the 2 year old anyway. Anyone left who can see thru the costumed chants is supporting Trump for other, nefarious reasons.

I disagree. I think Biden is doing the right thing by letting Rethuglicans do the attack ads. If he goes down that path, he'll just get a lot of "angry libtard snowflake" blowback and won't be able to convert those voters that are on the fence.

I do wish the Dems in Congress would grow a few pair and start fighting dirtier.

I won't disagree that the congressional D's need to be more proactive, but I also think that, as I've mentioned somewhere else on this board, they're just giving the Orange One and his minions plenty of rope with which to hang themselves, and he and the minions seem to be doing a rather admirable job of accomplishing that task.

I think this is how much of the D leadership is looking at most things right now, and they are patiently (or not) waiting for the opportunity to strike with the necessary precision and speed.  If the D's had actually pushed harder on the issue of people refusing to honor valid subpoenas to testify in the impeachment debacle and had them arrested (which they could have done), it's likely that 1) his Orangeness would have simply issued as many pardons as necessary to thwart their efforts, and 2) there would have been considerable blowback that would have damaged the D cause since the already established R line was that the whole process was a politically motivated stunt.

It was pretty much a fait accompli that Orangina would be acquitted by the Senate regardless of the proof offered, and the House D leadership knew that.  Hell, anyone with at least two brain cells and lick of sense knew that, and I'm pretty sure the only reason it was allowed to proceed was to fob off the ones who were screaming for it without looking at the overall situation.  

I also agree that Biden is doing exactly the right thing here, because by remaining out of that fray, he's not giving the opposition anything to work with to attack him.  That way, he can deliver his message quietly, clearly, and pretty much under the media radar without being distracted by having to fend off attacks.  It's kind of like the R's do when they bury something in the news cycle by releasing in late in the day on Friday.  Let the noise and clatter of the R's battling each other distract the media and general public, and he can (we hope!) skate through a little easier.  Besides, the R's who are doing this are very good at doing it, and the D's are not, so why not use their expertise and zeal to his advantage?

I got a mental image of the old tv movie series "V" after Trump was in office, and I still think of it all the time.  That was a show where humanlike aliens came to the Earth and turned out to be lizards in human costumes that unzipped.
