    They voted for the biggest waster and grift of all. They complain about using taxes for public benefits, believe there is so much fraud and people scamming the system, then elect the biggest grifter of all, so dumb and will double down on stupidity over and over and nothing will help. We give the answers to the exam and they still fail and the world suffers!

    What journalists need to do is ask Trump why he can’t afford to pay for his ads himself if he’s so rich?

      He does own a “media” company. I’d be willing to bet that he billed himself for the work like he charges the Secret Service to stay at his hotels.

        Like he created a “presidential golf package” at Ped-O-Lago so he uses taxpayer money to pay himself to golf poorly swing golf clubs at golf balls and cheat

      I don’t think that’s the appropriate action. It’s against the law. They should be tried for committing the crime. Anyone with knowledge should be held accountable.

          Disqualified by who?

          Yeah, neither of these are happening. It’s a crime though. They should (not will) face criminal consequences, not just a disqualification.

          (Edit: Just FYI, I originally copied your question, but “whom” is not correct here. Just use “who” if you don’t know how to use it. It doesn’t make people look smart. Anyway, “whom” is for the subject of the verb. “Who” here is performing the action of disqualification. “They disqualified whom” would be where “whom” is used. I don’t really care if people just use “who” all the time, but it really bothers me when people go out of their way to use “whom” but don’t actually know when to use it. It isn’t just for the end of the sentence.)

              The one at the top of this chain did. The one I was responding to.

              That page disagrees with you though. The thing being acted upon gets whom. That’s the rule. That entire page is just different situations where that can happen.

    They didn’t order them off the air, they ordered the Trump admin to take them down. Which they will promptly just ignore like the rest of their rulings, because there is no accountability. As my friend Coffeezilla says, crime is legal.

      that was the point.

      Sure he can’t have the ads… but now he has a talking point for all his rallies. A talking point he can misrepresent about how the judges are corrupt, and the deep state is trying to silence him (and them). And his idiot followers will ask no questions, follow up on no parts of the story, they will just accept it as gospel.

      THAT’s the real ad.

        What’s the endgame? That’s the real question. He’s almost too fat and old and shitty to keep going. Is it really just to protect his name? We joke, but he really doesn’t give a shit about anyone else. So is this all really only so we don’t talk about his Epstein Island Excursions? Because that’s etched in stone. In caves. Good luck finding it, chomos.

          What’s the endgame?

          Power for its own sake, adding to his personal wealth, staying out of jail, hearing crowds chant his name and stroking his ego.

          As long as he breathes, he will do everything he can to get attention, find ways to enrich himself and his family, and burn it all down in the process for all of the perceived wrongs he has “suffered”.

    Ooooooooohhhhh. This is a spoke of the pitchfork!!! An actual probable offense of the constitution!!!

    Do you think he heard me talking about the army of his sycophants & critics joining forces to toss him into Boston Harbor

    "No taxation without representation and no Epstein vacations! No bombing of nations and no dodging implications. No sucking Putin’s butt in a gas station. No dragging your nuts over the constitution and no more explanations!! Bill & Ted said it best when they said “Station” "
