Trump's new ad for veterans (of the Russian army.).




Donald Trump put a new veteran-focused campaign ad up on Facebook today, but it was pulled down before most anyone could see it after commenters pointed out that the footage clearly depicted Russian veterans wearing the distinctive St. George ribbon and pins with the Communist hammer and sickle.

Above you see the original ad. “Our great veterans are being treated terribly,” Trump intones his most serious voice. “The corruption in the Veteran’s administration, the incompetence is beyond. We will stop that.” The ad then cuts away from Trump sitting at his desk and to footage of faceless decorated veterans who happen to be wearing a distinctive orange-and-black ribbon.

They could put out a video of tRump pooping on the American flag in Tehran with the clerics laughing in the background and tRump's worshipers will still charge full steam ahead in voting for a fascist pig.

Somehow, some way he's impervious to any sort of criticism, no matter how obvious and legitimate.

It's idol worship, plain and simple. That typically hasn't worked out very well in human history.

..manufactured just for You. It will keep you occupied, discussing things that have nothing to do with the real problems in this World.

So, why are we even trying to come-up with a rational conversation about this?
