The Lincoln Project: RNC Convention Briefing

The Republican National Convention kicks off Monday night. Before Trump and his enablers host the worst Zoom meeting of 2020, we wanted to preview the event and tell you what to expect.

Tomorrow night, August 23 at 7 PM ET, you're invited to join our exclusive RNC Special Briefing.
I'll introduce you to a few of my fellow Lincoln Project co-founders including, Mike Madrid, Stuart Stevens, Steve Schmidt, and Tara Setmayer.

US postmaster suspends USPS changes until after the election
Tue 18 Aug 2020 17:39:18 GMTAuthor: Adam Button | Category: News
Big back down from postmaster in statement
Collection boxes and retail hours to remain unchanged
Overtime will be paid
No mail processing facilities to be closed
Says will deliver election mail on time
This is a major sigh of relief. This wasn't a market-moving story (yet?) but the changes were bordering on third-world election hi-jinx.

Joe is on Fire!

Powerful speech so far.....and Kamala hasn't even spoken yet.
This should scare trump out of his mind.

Major stock market tankage as Mitch says no deal


Sh*t That Moved The Markets: US Senate Majority Leader McConnell: Stimulus talks are at a stalemate. SPX weakens US Govt. 10 Yr. Yield weakens Euro weakens

How much has this stock market rise cost us?

Just for kicks, a person I trade futures with decided to do the math. He added up all the stimulus the FED has pumped into the markets since the S&P lows of just under 2200. If you divide the points gained on the S&P by the dollars the FED has thrown into it, he comes up with this number:

We, the taxpayers, have paid $3.2 BILLION for every point the S&P has gained
Such a deal. Let that sink in.

If the VP choice is narrowed between Rice or Harris .....

I think Kamala will be the choice. As good as Susan Rice is, she has never been battle tested on the campaign trail as Harris has. Harris is perfectly suited to play the attack dog role, and she has legislative experience to help push Joe's policies on Capitol Hill. Susan Rice is perfectly qualified to be Secretary of State to repair the damage trump has done to our relationships with our allies around the world.

My son's father-in-law, a rabid trump supporter

Living in Florida, caught Covid19. At least everyone thinks so, including him. He had all the symptoms, was very sick for three weeks. He's still not even close to being back to normal. He refused to get tested, he refused to seek medical attention.
Why? Because he said he didn't want to be added to the statistics that would make trump and DeSantis look bad.
That is a special breed of stupid.
