I don't like to revel in the failure of others (I think it's generally unbecoming and unchristian) but watching the rats jump from the @ProjectLincoln ship has brought me a lot of joy, if I'm being honest. nytimes.com/2021/03/08/us/…
A unique collection of bad people trying DESPERATELY to save some measure of face.
"Stuart Stevens, a longtime media consultant who has taken an increasingly prominent role in the project, cried during an interview while talking about his commitment to the cause."
seeing people like @stuartpstevens describe Lincoln Project the way that so many GOPers described Trump is a chef's kiss moment.
"They were drawn to Lincoln Project not because we were H.R. geniuses but because we knew how to fight and were willing to take on our own party."
also, don't let anyone tell you these people actually did anything in 2020. they were a grift the whole way down all along, as I wrote back in October. thedailybeast.com/the-lincoln-pr…
Watching the reputations of the Principled Conservatives™️ engulfed in a bonfire of financial misdealing, sexual harassment, and generally being shitty people has been karmic.
And - you guys had to figure this was coming - if you want to learn all about who helped build @ProjectLincoln into a merry band of heroes, I’ve got a 🧵
I’m sorry, Cuomo was “the perfect man for our perilous pandemic times”??
What possible metric could support this? The attorney general of NY - from his own party! - is actively investigating his misconduct! He lied about **thousands** of deaths.
“Have people forgotten how the whole country tuned in every day to watch Cuomo’s honest pandemic updates”
Honest?! I ask this earnestly, @lindastasi, are you out of your fucking mind? Whatever else you think, calling them “honest” is a lie. nytimes.com/2021/03/04/nyr…
This will be how Cuomo crawls out of all of this. Whataboutism and historical revision and ‘but I felt so safe listening to him, who cares about all the deaths?!’ bullshit.
Intellectually and morally bankrupt drivel. All of it.
Prince Andrew is almost certainly a child rapist and yet the scandal we’re all here fighting about is an allegation that some unnamed member of the British role family might’ve done a racism about Harry and Meghan’s kid? Gtfoh.
“Does your grandma know that your uncle rapes kids?” is the one question Oprah should’ve asked.
“Is your grandma using her power as the most important old lady in the world to cover up the fact that your uncle rapes kids?” would’ve been a good follow up.
@NYGovCuomo put on a clinic in hypocrisy today during his press conference.
Here’s a side-by-side of his previous comments around sexual harassment, particularly in the workplace, vs. what he had to say today about himself.
Spot the difference?⤵️
First and foremost, let’s talk about zero tolerance.
Back in January 2018, Governor Cuomo was a believer in zero tolerance for sexual harassment in the workplace.
Well, apparently that only extends to people who aren’t “elected by the people of the state of New York” huh?
A few months later, about three years ago, Cuomo said that New York was “leading the way forward” and that “this behavior must stop” about sexual harassment.
Yet somehow it took 3 more years for Cuomo to figure it out I guess.
I know there’s stiff competition, but the dumbest thing happening right now is that people are pretending Tanden’s nomination was sunk because of racism/sexism and not the fact that she’s spent years calling the people voting on said nomination evil racist dirtbags.
Valuable life lesson here: If you call people soulless vultures, in public, for years, they may not be inclined to help you down the road!
Yes, very fascinating that the woman who said “The Republican Party is - amazingly- both morally and ideologically bankrupt” is not getting more support from Republicans! What could explain it?!
