Also like 18 percent of their ad spending has been in DC, which maybe upsets the president, but doesn't help defeat him in any way.

They actually did though. Said a justice shouldn't be confirmed until after the election by whoever wins November

A PAC being questionable with their funds, shocking.

I see nothing about the Lincoln Project that contradicts the idea that far left wingers are just angry they have to agree with a Republican organization.

Received money from dark money groups, paid LP founders Reed Galen $18.8m and Ron Streslow $8.7m in Q3 (Q3 donations were $39m), spent $129k in lodging in the month of August during a pandemic and so on and so forth. Maybe try reading it.

I can understand approving of these guys doing what they're doing, but fuck ever giving them money.

At the end of the day, they're still the same Republicans they've always been. Just because they despise Trump does not mean I suddenly support any of their other awful platforms.

What amount "should" be in those three categories, Operating Expenses, Independent Expenditures, and Cash on Hand?

Those names that mean nothing to you are the founders of the group routing donations through their firms to line their pockets. Aka grifting.

Looking at how and where their money is spent in this case is way more important than how much money is spent. Good thing we can see both though. A lot and to themselves.

Trump didn't come to exist in a vacuum solely from internet trolls. The environment for him to succeed has been being built by Republicans since the 80s.

Not sure how this became about internet culture or memes. Rick Wilson and co during the Bush admin directly helped create the political environment we are in today.
