I just joined The Lincoln Project

[EddMarkStarr]

First I subscribed, then I joined with a paying membership pledge!

 

[Peloso]

Aren't they involved in some kind of snafu or legal trouble?

 

[Alistair]

I would never be part of any Republican Party

 

[ClubLevelVegan]

Mistakes were made.

 

[EddMarkStarr]

Aren't they involved in some kind of snafu or legal trouble?

YES!

One of the Lincoln Project founders has been accused of sexual assault and apparently lied to police investigators about the circumstances. The other founding members of the Lincoln Project have been completely silent about the whole situation.

Sexual assault. What else

Jesus Christ. WHY do so many men, who have some kind of power, have to think with their penises? That gets so many people in trouble, man. Um...OK - he's a Republican of some sort. That gives him an unconditional pass. NOT.

********************
You guys can't even IMAGINE how much my life has improved, once I unyoked "penis thinking" from my life. My friendships have NEVER been better, and I have a huge winning streak of something like the last seventeen times I've been on the phone with people, some of whom I haven't chatted with in a few years.

(And one since I think 2006, on my "most-recent" Canadian trip to include Hamilton...he moved to Hamilton when one could EASILY do that from the States! Oh I wish I had. He was one of the first sex partners I ever had, who also became a FRIEND as well...and like all three of those first sex-AND-friend guys in my life, maybe even the first five, he's a black guy.)

I mean, my BEST PHONE CONVERSATIONS EVER with these people, even including the "birthday" one last night with one of my sisters, who of course I've ALWAYS known, because she's older than me. ALL these phone conversations AT LEAST "around an hour" and some as long as three hours. With the penis-fog gone, my thoughts are entirely free and frictionless and allowed to roam anywhere.

That escort who I hired just back on the 15th, guys, has CHANGED something. Oh, also my incredible October 2020 trip to New Jersey! Something major has happened after the two. We're genuinely becoming friends, it appears, but when we got together that only-once-so-far, and which lasted 275% as long as what I paid for (5.5 versus 2 hours), I actually found out that I can even be naked in bed with a truly-magnificent-looking guy FOR HOURS and not consider sex, and consider it one of the very best times I've ever had with a guy in a "sexual" situation. (I pay him again this Monday night-next. I CAN'T WAIT!!) I mean, even the one guy I also sent this man's picture to (and nobody else), a high-end butcher in Oklahoma who is an EXTREMELY close friend, told me that this guy is "hot!" and my friend is a steadfast "Kinsey 0." Him and his wife both accept me UNCONDITIONALLY, and we all know that homosexuality and Okies don't usually mix well, LOL!!

Edd, thank you for the REMINDER...I've meant to join that group and I've kept forgetting. Republicans, sure...AND, at this point, the ONLY Republican group of any kind that I currently have any respect at all for. I certainly dislike even the Log Cabin Republicans with abandon. I respect you enough, Edd, to consider taking this seriously.

No they haven't, they soundly repudiated him.

 

[TX-Beau]

And anyway that's not "legal trouble" the Lincoln project is in, that's entirely on his own head.

I have wondered now for awhile when the media was touting the suburban female vote abandoning trump BUT never seemed to notice the SANE and DECENT Conservative Republican Men who voted for Biden and despised trump and everything he stood for. I think that might have been a factor in the swing states as well.

I know a handful of those guys - been my good friends for over 30 years - and they all voted for Biden even though they are solid Conservative Republicans. They all value integrity and have alot of it themselves. They all very vocally and openly support gay marriage as well even though they are all straight.

I should mention one other overlooked factor. Religion is NOT a factor for any one of them - none are religious. It seems to me it was religious people pushing for trump because he forced their will on all of us.

 

[cabinfever]

I forgot - I am very grateful to The Lincoln Project - I never thought of donating to them.

I might do just that.

 

[ClubLevelVegan]

The Lincoln Project was grift on right wingers/liberals cause it did very little to help Biden win the Presidency. They barely did any actual work outside paying for some adverts.

The Lincoln Project … did very little to help Biden win the Presidency.

It helped to keep opposing forces on the defense.

Appear at points which the enemy must hasten to defend; march swiftly to places where you are not expected. ― Sun Tzu, The Art of War

The Annotated Art of War (Parts 6.1-6: Sustaining Tension)​

(From linked article)

We were pretty clear from the get go about the lanes of our strategic outreach. The first one, which made the most noise, was for the audience of one. That was the stuff directed at Trump, the campaign, the White House, and the family. The stuff we knew would distract them, make them angry, make them fight internally, make him fire Brad Parscale, sue us, whatever it was so their attention was pointed elsewhere. – Reed Galen, a top official with the Lincoln Project

I just joined the Titanic Luncheon Committee. Captain says if he likes our suggestions we can dine with him before the boat hits port.

 

[TX-Beau]

These people were 'pubs, it was fun watching them eat themselves, but they supported all the 'pubby nastiness for years before the toad.

I'm still in favor of the right eating itself.

 

[EddMarkStarr]

As long as I have online access I'm willing to listen to political opinions. We are all moving to the future together, ideas to the contrary or not.

Half a month later update: Of course, I did join The Lincoln Project.

I got back together with that cool escort on the 5th, I paid him for another two hours. And just as the first time, we were in bed for four hours all together which, with more hanging out and talking about everything, extended the whole visit to five and a half hours, that 275% thing again. It would have been even longer, but he had to be up the 6th early for his first COVID shot. He called me Thursday the 8th to say hi and we talked for about three hours. Seeing him again Monday and paying for another two hours, but we'll also be going over to Indiana to hike for the afternoon. First time since 1972 that I've lived "within walking distance of a buddy" who actually likes to do some of the things that I also enjoy. He's also one of the most intelligent people I've ever met, and it wouldn't surprise me if his IQ is about 170.

If I was a relationship-type guy (and I'm definitely not), he's the kind of guy I'd hope to find! I'd be very surprised if I'm ever actually able to kum while visiting him, because even AROUSAL is rare due to so many more-cool things going on. It's not about sex for him either, though he is a highly-sexual person.

An update kind of for Edd, but also for who may see this in general.

 

[Rickrock]

Glad to hear that is going so well for you.
