Of loving course. Why did the superbowl advertisers even allow hate groups to advertise, they've historically denied them.

It really is incredible that a group that centers its worldview around Jesus Christ is spending millions on advertising and funding hate groups pushing anti-woman legislation while doing dick loving squat for the poor. You’d think of all the assholes working there at least one would crack open the New Testament and give it a cursory look-through.

"ADF is a noted anti-LGBTQ hate group that has argued repeatedly in courts that religion, and specifically Christianity, is a license to discriminate; they have one such case pending before the Supreme Court right now."
Very epic and cool country.

That's how they get around camaign fonance laws. They don't have to report their donors or are capped, they're just an independent group that happens to like and support the exact same things as this candidate!

Obviously, this is a farce.

Unlike our historical dramas, gladiators were not ripped and shredded, but rather had a healthy fat layer, which helped them survive slashing attacks and light stabbings.

Add to that they were seldom killed or even maimed, because that would be a lot of wasted money on training. IIRC the weapons were often dulled to make them less lethal, and some obviously were meant to just incapacitate the opponent like trident and net

IMO I thought it was pretty effective, in that, the ONLY thing this guy has to offer is his name and historical connection. The ad was all that, in a well presented way. Bonus effect of confusing old people to vote for him who possibly didn't even know about him beforehand.

OK, fair enough.
I can see that argument and you're right that he doesn't really have anything else.
I suppose I expected a 'go and learn more' hook that in retrospect he wouldn't need.

Yeah, it's like the one protection on political spending around these days. Remember a few months back where DeSantis' SuperPAC posted the campaign strategy they wanted Ron to use and people found it and mocked both the PAC and DeSantis over the contents? That was done because the candidate and the PAC can't communicate on strategy or spending/fundraising. Posting the strategy publicly was the legal way to get it to DeSantis, but Jesus, how hard is it to put it somewhere no one is going to look instead of right on the front page?

I can promise you that the Trump campaign is breaking all these laws actively because I don't Trump has ever seen a money related rule he won't break.

Absolutely no one in the Kennedy family supports him, and they hate every time he references his uncle as if they're comparable in any way. He's definitely got some nasty texts/phone calls about it.

There's a curb episode where Larry tells Cheryl Hines that she's married to a looney tunes jackass or something like that I wish I could find it.

It's also why in 2015 Ted Cruz's campaign posted a whole bunch of unedited video footage so that his PAC would have footage for them to make nice productions about him. Nope, not coordinating with the PAC at all, just putting a bunch of stuff up here in case anyone wants to use it!

Hang on. Are the chuds genuinely saying that the Super Bowl was rigged as part of a vast conspiracy to get Biden re-elected? And this goes through winning team has a player who is dating the world's most popular singer who suggested that her fans register to vote. And all of this equals fix the most watched sprting event in the US in a way that no one who isn't looking for the signs of conspiracy will notice and thus Biden wins in ten months time?

This is a level of nuts that I wasn't expecting.

Presumably if the other team won then it would be a glorious victory for Trump while everyone else would just go, "Okay, it was a football game."
