    What have they done to sow chaos? Released videos with snippets of other videos parsed together?

    If this is Russia, it may be the easiest job ever as they’re literally just posting videos of Trump demonstrating garbage leadership.

    Name one GOP consultant that doesn’t have some ties to the oil and gas business world? These are Republicans... This reporting basically just reaffirms that fact and reinforces the point.

    That doesn’t mean that their project to shed light on FACTS about Trump is any less effective. Hell... it’s probably more effective knowing that it’s coming from inside the GOP frat house.

    These aren’t your do gooder AOC Democrats. These are your normal good ole boy wheelin and dealing Dick Cheney classic Republicans.

    Which highlights the FACTS even greater when even they are alarmed enough by Trump to speak out.

    "Democratic Group Looks to Close Trump-Biden Enthusiasm Gap":

    https://www.realclearpolitics.com/a..._close_trump-biden_enthusiasm_gap_143773.html

    excerpt:

    NEW YORK (AP) — President Donald Trump may be losing, but that doesn’t mean Joe Biden is winning.

    At least that’s the concern of a pro-Democrat super PAC embracing a new strategy backed by $15 million in online ads to help close the nagging enthusiasm gap between the Republican president and his Democratic challenger. The strategist leading the super PAC known as PACRONYM warns that Biden is leading many polls “by default” and may lose his advantage unless Democrats give key groups of voters better reasons to get excited about their nominee.

    “We really think that Biden’s enthusiasm gap could be a vulnerability,” said PACRONYM founder and CEO Tara McGowan.

    Beginning in August, the group and its sister nonprofit will begin pumping millions of dollars into online ads targeting a group of roughly 1.7 million “low-information” left-leaning voters — largely women of color under 35 . . . .

    Being afraid of Russia is so 20th century. China is the new thing!
    Aren't you afraid Trump doesn't fear China (ok, and Russia) as much as Biden does?
    Whatever happens in the election, I just hope we still fear China (and Russia) in the aftermath.
    But don't you think Russia's kinda turning into China's Canada? But China has North Korea too. . . .
    I'm just afraid I'll stop being afraid of people.

    I was expecting more in the article.

    So the connection is that one of the founders of the Lincoln Project registered to be an agent for a Russian company, but then backed out, didn't act as an agent and never took any money? That doesn't really mean anything to me.

    The financial issues of the founders of the project are more interesting but I don't see any proof of them misappropriating funds or anything of the sort. Further, they are not running for President... so their financial situation doesn't mean much.

    I am not surprised to see attacks like these though, I know that conservatives that work on campaigns, really do not like the Lincoln Project and have said they will not be able to work again in Washington.

    The Lincoln Project has done damages to not just Trump but multiple GOP members and are attacking them directly. It's an all out war against today GOP and so it's no surprise that there are counter attacks on them from the GOP.

    As far as implying being under control by Russia and bringing chaos to the US... that's pretty much describing Trump. Saying Russia is bad and is a chaos creator in the US is not exactly the strategy the GOP wants to stand on, but here we are.

    I find it funny that either side is enthused for their candidate

    I’d be enthused for a giraffe over Trump. We’d likely be close to opening back up properly if during those press conferences he just sat there eating leaves.

    Well... that's another story. I'd definitely be enthused if a giraffe was running
