Some would point out he was ordered to get on the ground 4 times over the course of 4-5 seconds, to which he was not compliant.

A lot of Republicans and autocrats would, yes. 

Not trying to be a dick to you or anything. Just saying, as much of a scumbag as he is, my first takeaway from that video was typical excessive force by police.

Nah.  Trump would come out and just throwing shit.  Proof of UraniumOne conspiring with Hunter.  Maybe some advanced QAnon theories that no one has thought of.  Anything to change the conversation.

What did they have that was locked and loaded? Everything I’ve seen is stuff that could be produced on the spot. I’m sure their marketing team has a few people on standby at all times to whip something up the minute a story breaks. With a library of stock footage and canned trump footage and some after effects templates set up ahead of time I could knock out a quick video on pretty much any topic in under 30 mins. And that’s just by myself. I’m sure their team has sat around and thought about a couple dozen topics that news might break on, have a library of canned images and footage of everyone in trump’s orbit and the second a new story breaks the copywriter calls into the designer and says “here’s the text. Give me images of a, b, and c with soft piano in the background. Send me a link to review in 10 mins”

If they don’t have that stuff ready to run immediately, especially on something like his tax returns, they would be massively failing at their job. On an issue that has been a major point for years, the videos/ads should’ve been 95%+ complete already

Exactly. The one that I saw Biden retweet could have been sitting in the hopper completely ready to go other than the dollar amount that trump paid.

I kind of like the cascade of shit strategy where a new load drops on Trump's head just as he's wiped most of the previous load off.  It is highly fucking appropriate given that it is how he has treated the majority of Americans since his election.

Hard to believe its going to  hid harder than the $750 thing, even though as a CPA I don't think that in and of itself is not such a big deal.  But couple that with 2018 story that had $4.4 billion in losses 1985-95, and all of the dodgy deductions.

When he came out with a beer in his hand, I was thinking that wasn't smart. If I'm approaching a cop, for whatever reason, it's smart to have nothing in my hands and no sudden movements. But then he put down the beer and he was relatively calm except for being pissed at his wife and probably buzzed if not drunk.

I'm there are people here with more social media ad experience than me, but I don't believe that you can target consumers on Facebook by ethnicity. In fact, I don't think that an user even identifies their ethnicity on Facebook, or other mainstream social media sites. Now that doesn't mean that an advertiser cannot surmise the likelihood that you're African American or another race.  They would most likely make a few mistakes but be right more often than not. 

You can’t directly. But you can indirectly via a software stack called a CDP which aggregates non related data like income, zip code, and grocery store data, demographics, health data and website tracking data.

Using those is very easy to drill down and then use your target audiences for digital ad buys.

Lots of companies (and agencies) sell this kind of adtech. I used to sell it to pharma companies.

Cue the quote of Trump in a deposition from one of the plethora of times he’s been sued literally answering that his personal net worth is all brand goodwill and literally should be calculated based on what Trump feels his brand is worth.   He literally says it fluctuates based on how he feels.

He has known he’s fucked for years, decades even.  Bullshit conman spiels like this are the only play he has.  But he knows the lenders don’t give a shit, and to make matters worse now he’s probably indebted to shady foreign ones with ties to mobsters and oligarchs because the good lenders don’t keep coming back to the bankruptcy king.  And so he lets Russia, Saudi Arabia and even pissant Turkey walk all over him.  What a stooge.   

And he's going to get away with it.

I think that's it perhaps. Or it's related to the micro targeting report being run overseas that was posted on here. I don't think that would move the needle all that much. The micro targeting was discussed on Surly not all that long ago. @triplehorn had a good thread on it and we were talking about the voter registry that Parscales had, how Cambridge Analytica and other similar groups associated with them had rebranded under different names when a Russian(?) Ukrainian(?) was facing charges over theft/hacking of data.

The thing is, for most folks that wouldn't move the needle- they have a love/hate relationship with Facebook and social media. They're addicts and they think it's evil, but they accept almost all the privacy invasions without really thinking about it. Again, I don't want to derail the thread with that, but maybe realizing that campaign monies were spent on luxuries will influence a little negativity. Hard to say, the Wall scam didn't seem to stick around in the news cycle.

Narrator: He never personally financed himself. He used campaign money to pay all campaign debts/expenses.

The idea that it makes a difference to Trump's voters is nonsense.  This was about the same time the pussy grabbing tape dropped.

To paraphrase the complaint of iconic Trump supporter Crystal Minton from Florida (of course), "I thought they was going to do good things. They're not hurting the people they need to be hurting.”

[Mrs Whiggins 13,050]

This is the bit that I'm referring to, it's fleshed out in more detail in the Active Measures Thread on page 10. Essentially, once one company would get exposed, they would shut it down, rebrand, and begin right where they left off. It also enables them to launder info as well as money.

 

 

Hugo, Anastasis, AtomHeartBevo, and CaptainAnt also posted some good info. It's not widely talked about the same way that QAnon is, but QAnon is only one tentacle of the octopus.

Yeah, I am of the opinion that there are no undecided voters left, at this point. Early voting is going to be at a record turnout level because everyone has already made up their mind which way they are voting.

Whatever "drops tomorrow" doesn't matter.  I talked to a Fox News/Maga head today.   The call was not about politics, but he went into why he didn't watch the NFL now b/c for all he knew they were burning flags at halftime now.  Oh, ok.  So I give a light rib about I bet those NFL players paid taxes and the immediate come back was how Trump was justified in not paying them because business losses.  I said wait, thought he was a great businessman and the reply then was something about a mistake here and there but still great.

The point being, nothing that drops is going to change their minds.  Nothing.  The person in my example is in other ways a smart enough human being.  He's just ceded the critical thought in politics section to 'my team fuck the other team.'

This is where you mock them and call them out. You can choose to do it politely or you can choose to fucking wreck them. Either way it has to be done.

They have proven that there is no persuading or convincing them, or changing their minds.  So the bullshit warnings the MAGA apologists have given of "keep talking down to them, that's what's making them vote Trump" are just that -- bullshit.  It doesn't matter, they're in a cult, and anyone in it at this point is fully committed.

So, we need to do what we did with people with idiotic, destructive ideas for years (think "racists") -- fucking mock them relentlessly, shame them, fucking wreck them.   Force them to go back under the rocks they crawled out from.  They'll still be idiots, but at least they won't be openly infecting society with their idiocy any longer.

If you support this regime, you deserve all the shit you get and more.  The only reason it isn't more is because there are only 24 hours in a day.

[Bama Chick 28,596]

Sure he is.

His entire motivation for running for president was because Obama embarrassed him at The White House Correspondents Dinner.

Difference his most normal humans take embarrassment over something and learn from it. Trump takes embarrassment as confirmation he’s being persecuted and uses it as motivation for spite and revenge.

My BIL is the same way.  Love the guy and we get along great, but politics never comes up because I know how he thinks and he knows how I think.  He doesn't watch the NFL either and it was one of his favorite things in life.  It's really sad.
