The White House has launched another taxpayer-funded television ad before the midterms, this time featuring imagery of President Donald Trump walking down a hall as audio plays of him saying “this is the final battle.”
“We will cast out the communist, Marxists, and fascists. We will throw off the sick political class that hates our country. We will rout the fake news media, and we will liberate America from these villains once and for all,” Trump says in the ad, echoing comments he made during a Veterans Day speech in 2023.
You guys are really speedrunning the third reich thing, aren’t you?
For him, it is the final battle. He is one bad election away from jail and he is on track to lose. Decent Americans (yes, they exist) just need to show up this time.
And therein lies the problem. The decent Americans are too misinformed by the polls, they’ll complacently stay at home. That, or they’re too lazy and arrogant to vote for anyone but their ideal candidate, they’ll sit it out as a show of virtue posturing.
Unrealistic. He is one ‘bad’ election away from being somewhat inconvenienced by having to just always explicitly ignore congress and do whatever he wants without repercussions. If GOP wins as few as three of the senate races that happen, he’s 100% safe from the only consequence considered valid: removal from office.
No criminal prosecution, that’s already established as ‘not applicable’ by the supreme court, on top of the long standing policy of not holding a president currently in office accountable for anything.
In 2028, ok, maybe he could face consequences in theory if all the mechanisms actually work. Very skeptical, and even if he could, it moves at a snail’s pace and they’ll probably run him again in 2032 because they don’t have any better ideas.
Yeah with his health, pretty sure he’ll die before facing any consequence. He’s really good at slowing down these things it seems.
Same bullshit that triggered the Jan. 6th insurrection. He’s going to deny he lost the house.
They are detaining Canadians at the border accusing them of voting in US elections.
What kinda of “final battle?” Like a battle with high cholesterol or a Mitch McConnell level of a stroke?…
The white supremacists believe in the coming race war, this is what the “boogaloo” community is about.
It’s actually pretty scary because they have been chomping at the bit to get started and they are the only side ready to go at a moments notice and they are EXCITED TO DO SO
They’re gonna have fun with the end of days fundies
This is a “dog whistle” plea to Christians, in my opinion. The final battle refers to The Apocalypse, when Christians are rescued by the Army of Jesus Christ. After all of the Christians are safe, Jesus and His Holy Army will butcher every non-Christian on the face of the Earth, and the resulting ocean of blood will be as “deep as a horse’s bridle”.
Fun fact: Churches pay no taxes! They get tax benefits that are over and above any “non-profit”. So, we all finance and enable this tripe. Not only do we pay for this moronic ad, we shoulder the burden of churches, mosques, and temples.
These faiths are already incredibly wealthy. The Catholic Church owns more land than any other organization, something like 170 million acres.
We will cast out the communist, Marxists, and fascists. We will throw off the sick political class that hates our country. We will rout the fake news media, and we will liberate America from these villains once and for all
Biggest self-own ever.
Homie, you are the fascist
Casting out the fascists? So… Themselves?
“We will cast out the […] fascists”
Is this the resignation statement?
preparing champagne
It’s just more abuse of words to rob them of their meaning, plus muddying the political waters for the stupid, who tend to support them while thinking “communist” and “fascist” are just words for “baddie”.
But the emails.
SCOTUS allows a party to steal government money now?
It’s supposedly a “PSA” celebrating America and not partisan in any way. Which would be a hilarious defense if they weren’t paying so much to air this in the most expensive ad slots during sports.
I doubt it’ll make a difference come midterms, but if we had a remotely functional supreme court this would be immediatley challenged. It shouldn’t have reached the point of spending $315k of taxpayer money per single game ad slot.
“steal government money”?
They already let a pedophilic, human trafficking, treasonous, rapist off the hook for everything and you think they care about OUR money?
Is that what I think?
why do americans just accept this?
We should probably be in a general strike, but no one wants to fuck over their existing life on the hopes that it’ll just get fixed int he next election. Check back after the midterms, but don’t hope for much to change.
decades of brainwashing and learned helplessness
also the racism
25% of Americans endorse this.
The Trump administration is a rabid animal that needs to be put down.
Extends beyond Trump. Republicans in Congress are complicit.
Every republican and conservative in the USA is an explicit existential threat to humanity and need to be eliminated with extreme prejudice. We need incredibly violent public executions to scare these fascist fucks into never expressing a point of view ever again, and that’s only because the logistics of killing them all are unrealistic.
…just the ones in Congress?
And any aipac funded dems
Yup, look at voting records people, some democrats are a wolf in sheep’s clothing, primary them out.
Both sides.
op is literally the most useless type of person
You do realize non aipac funded dems exist right?
Or were you just posting a self-portrait?
Criticizing dems that won’t impeach trump or stop his stupid war isn’t “both sides”. Fetterman is worse than useless
You realize the both sides thing comes from the idea that one side is actually different? I hate these internet cliches because smugly incorrect people will grandstand with them. Whataboutism too. You know the democratic party also gets aipac money right? Democratic Party politicians and democrat media are equally (if not more due to their neoliberal globalist stance) compromised by Israel. Get a spine, if you can’t even break the party line to whisper a mild critique about the milquetoast “””opposition””” that’s been complicit in a genocide for 3 years I have nothing to say to you. Politics is only a sport for you, then.
For the people who think this means Marxists don’t want you to vote — no, we just want you to have some standards and vote for better people. Don’t give a mandate to politicians who profit from genocide.
Hello 14 day old ml account trying to encourage people not to vote!
“Well meth clearly isn’t working out because my wife left me and I lost my job and my teeth are falling out, but obviously I can’t go back to just alcohol because alcohol is expensive and it makes me sluggish at work. I don’t know which is worse!” - you, probably
Idk, I’m sure there’s a better analogy out there but you get the point.
It’s a 2 week old ml account, it’s here to discourage people from voting in the midterm. The usual suspects have been out in force all summer but they’re ramping up hard.
Ah good catch
Comparing meth and alcohol? Smartest if you don’t do either. Good job reinforcing his point.
You an alcoholic? Can’t stop chugging on the Clinton’s?
You think spending a little more money and being sluggish at work is just as bad as your wife leaving you, losing your job, and your teeth falling out? Good job reinforcing my point.

MAGA in general.
The ultra wealthy class will team up with the religious radicals to just replace them. The problem won’t be solved that way.
Yeah, he’s a particularly malignant tumor, but he’s not the underlying cancer.
The country DOES need to remove him in order to survive, but doing so ISN’T enough.
This is undoubtedly a crime and every minion involved needs to be prosecuted and imprisoned for it once crimes are illegal again.
How is any of this legal? Why aren’t Americans doing anything about it? WTF happened to you guys?
Pedophiles and Nazis captured the spots in government that allow them to do this shit to us
Most of us (by math) hate it
The Supreme Court established that the President cannot be held accountable for any conduct (as part of his Official Duties) by anyone except through impeachment. So the President can break any law, as long as 1/2 the House (or 1/3 of the Senate) agrees to let it slide.
It’s not. The people with the authority to do anything about it either won’t or can’t. You’re First Amendment rights are worth 2¢ in a trillion dollar economy. While the 2A was supposedly written to be the follow-up, it has basically the same effect.
The Republicans in Congress could stop all of this at any time. They choose not to. They support it, even if they say otherwise.
Trump will be Trump, but we need to direct our anger at the rest of his party as well, for not holding him accountable. I hope enough people realize this in November.
