A Most Unholy Alliance

by | Dec 20, 2019

Matt Welch at Reason writes about a new political alliance between so-called libertarian Justin Amash and a new group of “McCain Republicans” formed by Rick Wilson, John Weaver and Jeff Timmer calling themselves “The Lincoln Project“.

Wilson, author of the 2018 bestseller Everything Trump Touches Dies: A Republican Strategist Gets Real About the Worst President Ever, previously worked on campaigns for George H.W. Bush, Rudy Giuliani, and Evan McMullin, and was appointed to a Defense Department job by Dick Cheney. Timmer, an Amash constituent and former executive director of the Michigan Republican Party, announced last month that he “will support any Democrat—even a yellow dog—against any Republican who supports Trump.” Weaver, a key strategist in both McCain presidential runs (though he was canned from the second when it was floundering in 2007), headed up the quixotic presidential bids of Jon Huntsman in 2012 and Kasich in 2016, and has been drawing a $10,000 monthly fee from the pro-Kasich Super PAC New Day for America ever since.

Have these people all lost their minds?  Why would any libertarian form an alliance with the Bush-Cheney-McCain Republicans?

A reminder of who Rick Wilson is.

ICE tactics in MN have been heavy handed and the “protesters” are funded by the same people that have funded every color revolution of the 21st century. You don’t have to be on either side.

The Slobbering Beast of Power

Beneath the uniforms, costumes of power or the suits of fashionable exuberance lurks naked flesh. Often flabby and unimpressive. The victims of such know the putrid stench on their breath, the sickly odour of sweat, the repulsive effluent of discharge as it penetrates...
