Axios reporting that Trump campaign going as low as they can with new ad.

They are releasing a new ad attacking Joe Biden's mental faculties. What a surprise, not.

Trump is a low life so why would anyone be surprised that he is going to run a low life campaign.

Joe Biden sometimes halts in his speech because of his stutter. So of course an ugly bully like Trump would see this as a thing to attack.

I loathe him.

talking about how Las Vegas casinos have become hot beds for spreading the virus. Casinos set the rules in Vegas, including safety rules. When they opened back up there was no mandate to wear masks but when the virus began to spread they required masks but they loosely enforce it.
The article goes on to say that casinos are a bigger problem than say schools because it's pretty much impossible to do contact tracing if you caught the virus in a casino and returned home and home is all across the country. This virus is continuing to spread across the country and Vegas casinos are a big reason why.

It's a super common opinion on the right that Joe is senile.

Trump campaign has been running heavy ads on this for a while in Latino communities.

The funny thing is the country is so bad, I don't think people really care if Biden is senile. They mostly want Trump gone.

And they open him up to extraordinary scrutiny for his own well-documented mental decline in office.

Another very stupid move on his part. Still yet, I know a Trumpie who tried to tell me yesterday that Biden wasn't mentally fit for office. I laughed in her face.

Said commercial has been running here for a few days now. It's cheap and amateurish, just like all the others. It's so bad, you can see where they altered the videos of Biden. But, if they insist on going that route, there are mountains of clips of Trump speaking gibberish and slurring his words. The Dems wouldn't even need to doctor them the way the Trump campaign is doing.
