I assume Jon's public reaction to this will be knife-sharp, with names, dates, numbers, etc..

I'd be willing to bet that most if not all of the imagery in this ad is AI-generated, too. Fabrications on top of fabrications.

it should be crime to defame any one. To lie about another person has to be treated as a crime

And the liar fined, wih the money going tothe victim

Thats simple.?

How in the world can this be?????? How can bold-faced lies be okay to broadcast???? How are the people responsible for these lies not IMMEDIATELY fined heavily and required to spend a similar amount to publicly admit their lies/publish the truth???? How is it that the mainstream media doesn't call this out in no uncertain terms????

There is no way democracy will ever work if this kind of behavior is left unaddressed and unpunished, and mainstream media does not broadcast and label this behavior as completely wrong and unacceptable in a democratic country!!!!!!

America is broken. This country is like a big dysfunctional family of cheats, liars and abusers. It is run by a man who does all of these things and, with all families, he teaches and pushes the family to his mold. Trump is a disease and he and his cronies have infected every part of this country. We need to either figure out the cure, or all go down in the plague that is Trump.

Indeed, it all starts at the top. It used to be that lies and betrayals were enough to get a politician banished. A misspelling, even (remember Dan Quayle?)

This country has certainly changed, and not for the better.

It is so disgraceful what they have done. We must be free of this menace.

We can't offer relief to families but we can repay billions to corporations who passed along 90% of the cost of tarrifs. Who paid for those tarrifs? Oh, we did but the American people won't see a dime of relief. We need to hear more about the corporate welfare state in this nation.

This sounds eerily similar to an ad that was running recently against Rep Kathy Castor in Tampa, FL. Her seat was safely Democrat before Florida redistricting, but now she is in an uphill battle.

I’d much rather spend Democratic money on Jon Ossoff than the intramural fighting in Michigan.

There does need to be a generational shift(despite clinging to Bernie)& fewer&fewer Democrats wanting to support Israel to the degree we do. AIPAC is almost a negative.

What goes around comes around to bite the backsides of liars. Sometimes it takes a while, but the bite will come hard, sharp and unexpected. Trump and his enablers are not immune to the eventual consequences of the mess they’ve created and to which they continue to contribute.

Republicans are growing increasingly desperate and their coming votes to confirm Blanche and fund Trump's "not a war" with Iran will make their situation worse. So expect the lie filled ads funded by Musk and other oligarchs to accelerate to a fever pitch. And as always they will fool all of the MAGAs all of the time, and some of the rest of the people some of the time. The key question - will they fool enough non-MAGAs to make a difference?
