Saw two official government propaganda ads last night on broadcast TV. Sickening.

"Paid for by the U.S. Government"

Thanks Obama.

Quote :

"Smith–Mundt Act of 1948, especially after later amendments, restricted domestic dissemination of U.S. government public-diplomacy material that had been created for foreign audiences. The 2012 modernization substantially relaxed that restriction, allowing material produced for foreign audiences to also be made available inside the United States. The standalone bill’s title explicitly described its purpose as authorizing domestic dissemination of information “intended primarily for foreign audiences.”"

Rest assured, these commercials were not geared toward or prepared for foreign audiences.

Dude's got a habit of thinking something that's obviously unrelated is somewhow relevant. Even when the quote he provides makes its clear that's it's not relevant.

These taxpayer-funded propaganda ads are atrocious.

Are stations obligated to air any ad buys?

There's no way this can be legal, but clearly the strategy is just to do whatever the heck you want until legal challenges can play out months later. It's insane.

Obligatory "can you imagine if barack obama did this"

While I don’t want my tax dollars paying for ANY political ad….it’s all for nothing.

He’s lost every major voting block except die-hard MAGA boomers. The Hispanic vote is gone, the moderate vote is gone, the Republican vote is pretty much gone.

The only way they win is to cheat, and they would have to do it too overtly to make a difference.

But we are going to have more than 2 more years of blatantly illegal acts with a crippled justice system that at the very best is far too slow.

Maybe not. Maybe the blue wave is so significant that they can somehow shore up the defenses against what’s going on.

I realize this is just one example in a daily barrage of shit, but to have our Secretary of Defense, or War, whatever the fuck they’re calling it today, use the phrase “no fatties, no trannies, no…..”.

Shit’s gotta change.

Even with a blue wave (if that even happens -- I am hopeful but not convinced), Senate Republicans are never going to check anything, unless maybe enough of them eventually well and truly fear for their own re-election chances.
