Just saw Trump's commercial.


Going on and on about how great.he will make America.

The commerical looked slick.

Made to suck up the trumps voters.

In the commerical was the fly by production by the Blue Angels.

The fly by was for his campaign.

Nothing to do for the nurses.

The nurses need PPE's.

Half-watching and couldn't spot the remote in time.
I don't see it changing any minds.
It's red meat for the base that was going to vote for it anyway.
Even among swing voters, it's not a mind changer.
Did I mention the commercial is full of lies? Doesn't matter if I mention it. Everyone already figured as much.

Using the military and the nurses for his needs.

My friend's daughter is a nurse.

She said the fly by was nice but PPP,'s would be a lot better.

6. Those Flyovers Cost...

...$60,000 per hour.
How much PPE, under the strictures of DPA, could those stupid "salutes" have provided?
Over a quarter million N95 masks, for starters!

Slick, but wall-to-wall lies and propaganda. Good point about the Blue Angels. That was disgusting. I do find it interesting that he's already having to put out commercials. Usually, we don't see them until at least July or August.

I thought it was a sloppy rush job, poorly scripted.
The Blue Angels flyby did piss me off, like it was only done for the optics in the AD
I was disgusted. That and the ABC interview

Next week Obama is giving a universal commencement speech, on all four channels including FOX,

Don the Con is going have a STROKE

The fly by was for Trump.

My friends daughter is scared she get the virus because of not enough PPES.

The flyby did not impress her.

I forced myself to watch the whole thing. Most of the snips were taken out of context but the tRump supporters won't bother to check that.

We know what we are fighting. They have lots of $ and they can make things look slick even when they are complete shit. I guess I would call his team the "sleek shit team."

I swear I heard a sound sort of like automatic rifle fire. I've been wondering if it was a subliminal message. Yeah, I know, but on my tin foil beanie. Can it have a propeller at least?

in response to the student's request for this nationwide commencement address? I'm just so proud of this kid. We are all looking forward to hearing Obama. We are all really happy about this. Something to look forwrd to in this sea of misery. Good job, Kid.
