kingdragonfly:gzt: ...I'm not at all sure that the ad dept under the previous owner would have accepted something of that nature [the 'Fire Elon Musk' Ad] for publication.
In the Washington Post, during a southern gubernatorial race, Republican candidate Ed Gillespie ran advertisements linking his opponent to violent gangs like MS-13.
It was much, much worse the "Fire Elon Musk", considering that Elon Musk is unelected.
The print ad has more or less disappeared from everywhere, for good reason, but a screen snapshot from the video still remains.
The screengrab above with the words "Kill, Rape, Control" appears to be quoting a Washington Post article published 17th June 2017.
Those words appear in a Washington Post article about the MS-13 gang. The video advertisement presumably refers to that article.
Your claim is that there was a similar print campaign for the Republican candidate Ed Gillespie, and that it ran in the Washington Post.

I think a little humour may not go astray this morning - no doubt next week we'll see the cartoons on the Trump/Zelensky/James, uh, "discussions" this morning. But for now:
The MAGA voting regret I was referring to earlier:
This one is harsh/accurate (moreso after overnight conversations):
(With this last one, I actually had some MAGA fanboy send me something similar during the orange buffoon's first term - obviously a self-written list - to try and justify what a great president he thought he was):
Was more the J D Vance episode. He like some others in this "administration" are anti Ukraine. Trump wasnt the issue as he is dumb. Zelensky explained how Putin cannot be trusted in a signed peace agreement Imany examples which he clarified) . Trump had no clue. JD chimed in, didnt respond but diverted that KEY issue to "you didnt say thanks".

Fox News scraping for a win! And then failing.
I imagine we're going to see a lot of MAGA regretting their votes over the next 4 years. Here's another one to add to the pile:

Trump and JD ignored that, didnt answer that bleated that you can't do a deal if you call names. Ok if Trump calls VZ a dictator, ok if JD bags EU recently.
This guy [Marco Rubio] didn't help either even though he could have said something to help Zelensky, glad to see he got called out for this:

The issue is that Trump is a dictator. Is he like Mr H from WW2, or Kim Jong Un, or Putin? No. In many respects he is, Constitution doesnt matter. Overriding Congress doesn't matter, although they are pushing back. Its about likes, power, the deal and so on. Same as Putin is about his beloved USSR. A country is its population not one individual.
Go Europe.
On the latter point, USA defence budget is 900B, EU is 400B, China is 300B, Russia is 150B
Its workable apart from the fact that EU isnt organised militarily as one nation.
UKR needs to be asked to join NATO. Which USA disagrees with, unsure why. If there was a so called peace agreement, and Russia complies, NATO membership is not a barrier.

Rubio now saying UKR needs to be thanking USA. Cant say anything else otherwise he will be fired. he has thanked the US and EU many many many times.
