    Just throw a “I’m Kamala Harris and I approve this message” on the end of that, 1 commercial, in the bag. Next.

          It’s called Vampire Effect and it’s a real problem with commercials featuring celebrities, because people tend to remember the person, but not the message/product. So showing clips of Trump would just give him even more exposure.

        I can see why they don’t do it for paid commercials but it should definitely be on their streaming channel so that it can be shared and go viral.

        It’s only a matter of time until a campaign understands the power that can be unleashed by a couple bored interns.

        Open with clip - “15 years ago I was DA of San Fransisco.” Transition to clip of Trump saying this stupid." – crowd applause as it fades to, “I approve this message”

    What a Dotard.

    Next thing you know, he’ll be saluting North Korean generals.

    Arizona searching for man threatening to kill Trump.

    Is that what Fox News is running now?

    I bet every state he goes to now they are saying that.

      In the 90s he said if he ever ran for office he wasn’t sure which side he would run on. I think he said he would run for whichever party was stupid enough.

      15 years ago he wasn’t talking about that. That was 2009, and he had his little TV show that made him look and feel like an important man.

            He got on camera, and stated that he would run as a republican because they are so dumb.

            I believe this turned out to be false

            No, no, they really are.

                HERE is a link stating what I said was “false”. However, I do recall watching a video where he said this way back in 2015. It was one of the reasons me and my buddies shat so hard on conservatives. This was before voice replication was as good as it is now. I just don’t see how I can remember watching it, hearing it, and subsequently shitting on anyone who wanted to vote for him, since it is supposedly false, but I guess you guys are right.

      So the good economy during Trump’s administration was Obama’s accomplishment, and the inflation during Biden’s presidency was Trump’s fault? Works for me.

        Unironically yes.

        And as for San Francisco, its problem is rapid and astronomical increase in wealth without sufficient accommodation. If my city became the hotbed of the new it industry I’d be screaming about the need for massive investment in affordable housing and public transit because otherwise it’s gonna wind up filled with homeless locals

        The inflation was the result of our pandemic response including:

        • Printing tons of new money, which was given to corporations and the upper middle class
        • Forcibly shutting down small businesses, leaving the large survivors with less competition
