What a low-down, scummy thing to do?

Make a political ad, accusing your opponents of being communists, and lying about your own achievements, all on the taxpayers dime, is pretty damn low.

Not only that, it is probably illegal. But, what is not illegal with Donald Trump?

And put the ads on during a national football game?

There is nothing he will not stoop to if nobody stops him?

Let the DNC try to put a commercial on tonight's football game and just charge it to the taxpayers? We would see how quickly the hypocrites would jump to their feet.

You are communists.

Yeah, it's not an accusation anymore at this point. It's documented fact.  :whatever: :fuelfire:

When I see a DU thread title, my two immediate thoughts are:

1. What good or true thing did Trump do or say this time?

2. Which usual suspect DU-crazy got triggered this time?

Why do I have a feeling that, "political ad, ... all on the taxpayers dime" refers to Trump's speech at the UN or at the welcome dinner for Xi-the-Pooh.

Didn't watch much of the Monday Night Football game, but there have been some ads running during recent sporting events promoting the President's agenda. Which of course is perfectly legal, due to that pesky thing called the First Amendment.

This is a undeniable fact. Playing with semantics such as socialist democrat doesn't magically transform the goal of more government control into something different than communism.

Have you ever heard a politician down-play his accomplishments? And, I'd like to hear about what you know of how Trump's time was purchased. Are you saying the DNC wouldn't have been allowed to run an ad if they paid ?

Again...

So, you are suggesting the ad costs came directly from the tax payers and not a fund associated with campaigns. Therefore it would be a payment method the DNC couldn't also use? If so, please provide the specifics leading you to this conclusion.
Feel free to look up "specifics" before answering.

Was the ad inspiring kentuck's impotent poutrage aired during Monday Night Football? The NFL lost me when they took a knee to Kaep's Hate-America tantrum.
