Sigh. It'll raise insurance rates, but, we really do need to think about the birth rate with all the other entitlements we are taking on I do think we need more people starting families in general, but our public schools are declining and the cost/quality of daycare in general is not very good. Some of that could be blamed on COVID but not anymore.

I couldn't even get through the first one. It just solidified my thinking that Cable News doesn't really belong in a serious space when it comes to politics, especially anything Presidential. It used to be these were carried by network news.

From CNN HD USA

More Young Men are backing Trump

lmao... finally something political I can laugh at without feeling immediate pain afterward... it's so passive aggressive

Youtube video

Edit: I don't know if they have these ads in the UK, but the lady is chatting to the viewer like a narrator from a pharmaceutical commercial. The Cable news channels are packed with AARP and medical/pharmaceutical ads Those ads are all awful.

No, that would not be permitted in the UK

You have to play it on
you tube, to watch it

Oh, I meant the pharmaceutical commercials, but that's also interesting

The commercials in many ways gives the true impression of where the Cable news demographic are tailored towards. Fox News, in particular, it's an older demographic so there are more "longevity"-focused ads. It's all Medicare, life insurance, here's a new drug to try, did you get sick from this drug you just tried... here's a great lawyer you can call... erectile dysfunction. One of the gold people (Birch, probably) advertises with them. Can't sleep due to the over consumption of news media? There's a pillow for that, etc. All very reassuring information. (The other channels have these ads too)

Youtube video

Edit: BTW, this ad would not air on TV outside of being played during a broadcast, but I think it's only a matter of time before political ads become more passive aggressive towards the opposition.

We only get adverts for non prescription drugs on TV because the public get our drugs via the NHS. Many, like me, get all their prescriptions for free. Private health insurance is also a luxury that nobody here really needs and is only useful for short term treatments

Less than two months ago they tried to assassinate the former President and current Presidential candidate.

They've made you try to forget about it because their attempt failed.

You need to deep dive into this the way you'd deep dive into the assassination of Kennedy.

This is not a minor incident, it's huge.

Even darts walk on girls get more of your attention. That's really crazy when you put it into perspective.

We're not from the US, Alf... This isn't our politics? It feels like you've lost sight of that, Trump isn't, has never been and will never be your president. US politics is interesting there's no doubt about that, it's fascinating, and yes it affects the whole world for obvious reasons, but expecting non-Americans to have it at the top of their priority list at all times is a bit odd. You can't expect people to be as interested in your personal/special interest as you are.

Glenn wanted a post in the Trump thread.

I'm always obliging.

So here is the so-called current President Biden putting on the MAGA hat on the anniversary of 9/11

[Alf]

14 years before he got into the Political race and he's always been the same. His respect for the working people was there then just as it is now.

That's who he's always represented.

No Political speak, just honest from the heart speak. Same as he is now.

[Alf]

Vindicating Trump, trailer.

I hope our cinema's are showing it. I doubt it, but it would be a positive for the dying cinema industry if they did.

[Glenn.]

Love these videos

[Maru]

Ridiculous demands he is making. I think just don't do it. Independents don't want to sit through an event that's just for vanity purposes.

he hit all the points that his maga crowd wanted him to hit, but the purpose was to attract undecided's to his fold and Kamala won that objective hands down. The more progressive dems were squirming at some of the stuff Kamala was saying and thats how we know she hit the right demographic

I don't think anyone wants another debate, it's all mind games

Centrism always aligns itself with right wing politics, and lays the ground for the far right. Kamala needs young people, because everyone knows who trump is at this point, but alienating young people is what will cost her this election.

Trump looked like a beaten man in his press conference today

[Alf]

He's so good because he just tells you the facts.

Honesty is the best policy.

He has these slow conferences that are difficult to listen to where it just drags on... no idea who watches these.


Tuning into rally while I do some system clean up and as I soon as it's on... the guy starts reading a Birch Gold ad... text "TRUMP", etc

[Maru]

lol Trump just made up an alternative version of the hat incident... according to him, the guy ordered Biden to put the hat on... no he didn't lol. Biden asked him for it.

Very True as you posted the Video

[Maru]

Was still streaming yesterday so I couldn't easily timestamp it.

I wonder how that supporter feels that he said "he was a little rough" with Biden and ordering him to put the Trump hat on. Rather, it was a very normal exchange between two people who come from a similar age.
