Super Bowl viewers disgusted by ‘gaslighting’ Trump campaign ad: ‘He’s trying to prove he’s not racist’

One of President Donald Trump’s campaign ads was released ahead of the Super Bowl, but the second was held back as a kind of surprise to viewers. Those who saw it were not only surprised but disgusted.

Interestingly, two Fox commercials ran on either side of it, so no other companies had to touch his ads.

The ad talked about thanks to Trump’s criminal justice reform; families are being reunited. It’s an odd brag because Trump has spent the last few years taking children from their parents on the border and putting the children in holding pens with little food, water, clothing, baby supplies, medical attention, or even adequate bathrooms.

The criminal justice reform law has been part of what Trump claims he has done the best, but he wasn’t exactly the one who came up with the idea, lobbied for it, and got it past the House and Senate. He’s merely the one who signed it into law and held a huge press conference around it. Trump’s actual criminal justice policies involve more policing and supporting officers so they can shoot anyone they want.

As Wesley Lowery pointed out, the same people Trump supposedly released from prison for ridiculous low-level offenses, his Justice Department is now trying to keep those people in prison.

Others noted the hypocrisy that Trump ranted at black players for bringing their politics into football, but now he’s doing exactly that with his campaign ads.

Mike Bloomberg was the only other Democrat to spring for an ad.

Police played the message for the 52-year-old Meister, who told investigators he did not remember making the call but admitted that he had gotten drunk, and agreed that must have been him on the recording.

The Iowa caucus is a massive grift — and both Republicans and Democrats are in on it

Published

on

There is still no official winner in Iowa after the Iowa Democratic Party (IDP) said they found "inconsistencies" in the three sets of results they were supposed to deliver. This Tuesday, the IDP said the problem was caused by a "coding issue" in its reporting system. Writing for the Daily Beast, Stuart Stevens says the Iowa caucus system is "a nutty system no school would sanction to choose a student body president."

"The Iowa caucus system is one of those ideas that seems sort of charming if you think about it for five minutes — a bunch of neighbors getting together in America’s most literate state, the one that gave us Jean Seberg and The Music Man – and utterly insane if you think about it for ten minutes," Stevens writes. "No secret ballot so you’re standing across from your boss when you vote, no early voting and doors close at 7 pm so if you stop for gas your vote doesn’t count, all in a state that doesn’t remotely resemble the American electorate as a whole."
