So I've been seeing some Trump commercials ...

Here in Michigan we are one of the "swing states" so it isn't surprising that Trump commericals are on the airwaves, etc.

They are pretty fucking poor. I have to say, I kinda like them!



I mean holy fucking shit!

1. Greatest growing economy?
2. Rising salaries?
3. Better for every race or creed?

I'm thinking that there are a few people that might want to ask questions about those claims, if not a few more......

here in Southern Calif but none are 2 minutes long. Is he desperate or does he have too much campaign money to spend?

Here in NH we're getting the 30-second Negative Bombs. There have been 2 so far, one showing some of Joe's verbal tics and labeling them "cognitive decline", the other is something along the lines of "Under Biden you'll lose your 401k" or something like that. Only caught #2 once so far.

He's going all-in on the fearmongering.

I never see any political ads, unless I click on something like that, which I have no intention of doing.

As I often put it, the problem with most political ads is that they give you no information whatsoever that's useful. Nothing about what the candidate they might be supporting. Nothing about the issues. Just stuff like: Did you know my opponent used to tear the wings off flies? Yes, that's right! And would you ever vote for such a person?

Plus, my blood pressure is more manageable.
