Being we don't see so many pics of him anymore, I find myself newly amazed at how truly ugly he is. In that billboard, he is both ugly and defeated looking.

A modern day Medusa who also destroys everything he touches.

HOW did America get to the point where they would elect such a hideous, vulgar, ignorant, lying piece of shit as our president?

But I'll go to my grave trying to figure out what on earth his supporters saw in him, while wondering how I could live side by side with those people my entire life and apparently never really knew them. It is so disturbing.

we might have another Democratic blowout in 2022.

We've already lost about 8 seats to gerrymandering between TX, GA, and FL alone. We are only up 5 now.

Add to that the dem history of not turning out in midterms, especially when we hold the wh, and we can expect the house to fall and go full q ahead; impeachments, hearings, subpoenas, and worse.

Not a given. No votes have been cast yet. But we have to get every voter to a poll. In a way, it's as important as the push to dump tfg. Who gets the house will have a tremendous impact on the 24 election cycle. They will have non-stop hearings with only republicans on the panels so no chance to redirect. It will have an impact on the electorate, especially if tfg isn't the candidate.

posted in every small town across the country, you know, in all of those "red states" where Asshole45's support was close to 100%, we might be able to make some inroads with the republican party.

People in NYC don't need to be reminded of Asshole45's shortcomings. They knew he was an ego-maniacal, bombastic loser well before he ever ran for president. Small town America needs to be reminded of this.

Donald Trump - along with his galactic-sized ego - is the worst thing that has ever happened to this country. The absolute worst!

Like it or not, Manhattan is still a major center for the media, especially TV, cable and publishing. The ultra-right executives who push the right-wing agenda in the media are mostly there, hiding among the New Yorkers who vote blue. So this billboard isn't really wasted money, the media execs will see it for sure.

I know it's not wasted money, but are people in Toad Suck, Arkansas going to see it? Probably not, and those are the people who really need to see it.

I hope by some miracle they do, because Fox Noise will never show it.

And most GQP wing-nuts would rather chew on broken glass and tin foil rather than travel to NYC. Too many people of minority status there for their comfort.

Nice to know tourism has returned to pre-COVID levels. I imagine all the boarded up shops have reopened as well.

Thanks for the report.

Maybe the Times Square ad ran for 5 seconds 3x a day?

Republicans for Voting Rights, an organization operating under Defending Democracy Together, has launched a quarter-million-dollar campaign to erect dozens of these billboards in major markets across the country, including one digital billboard right in the heart of Times Square.

Remember when they told us “Get over it!” ?

Well, back atcha, assholes! In our case, AlGore actually won after all the votes were counted. In their case here, Biden WON. Clearly, cleanly, and fair ‘n’ square.

No wonder they can’t get past this one. There was no cheating involved. They’re so used to cheating and finagling their way to win that I guess the automatic assumption on their part, by now, is “you cheated!!!” And why wouldn’t it be? Cuz that’s how THEY roll. By cheating.
