I'm not on a phone. All the ads I've ever seen (except that one) have been in English, not Spanish. Some wires got crossed somewhere.

Oh hey, something on topic...

On Friday, the Department of Justice (DoJ) announced it had charged a 54-year-old Trump supporter, Chad Stark of Texas, for allegedly sending “threatening election-related communications” targeting Georgia state officials and election workers the day before former President Donald Trump’s attempted coup of January 6, 2021. If convicted, Stark faces a maximum five-year prison sentence.

Along with the bulk of the Republican Party, Stark promoted Trump’s “stolen election” lies following his electoral defeat.

By the assiduous prosecution of these fascists for their crimes and the constant condemnation -- publicly and privately -- of them (crimes and criminals), shall we succeed in reducing the danger they represent. If we want our democracy to survive this crisis, we must adhere to our principles, even if the enemies of democracy do not. And we must never relent.

You guys see ads? I almost never do. Windows 10/Firefox/NoScript/uBlock Origin.
Oh, no - in my case its the ads on my phone - and I do forums and web pages normally on my PC because it has a screen I can read.

Also, because I don't have adblockers on my phone.

April Fools came early?

No, the non-Trumpist part of the Republican party is tired of dealing with him, so they are starting a coordinated opposition. It's no coincidence that Pence and McConnell both came out with similar statements.

My guess as to the timing is that the Georgia special grand jury, which will be focused solely on his election tampering, is now going forward. The Justice Dept and Jan 6th committee investigations have got far enough up the food chain to be getting close to TFG. So they can do this now, and claim leadership, rather than after indictment, when they would be seen as rats leaving a sinking ship.

It's no coincidence that it was Pence and McConnell either since TFG trashed them both.

I have been reading over the Jan 6 posts in this thread. So interesting how people reacted as things unfolded. The biggest shock in five years of non stop shock and we are just now grasping what went on.

Oregon has been on mail in ballots for over 20 years. No fraud to speak of here in all that time. So, it really wouldn't bother any of us if the machines were to go away and mail ins were the thing.

He might think he is "owning the libs" with this but, the reality is he would actually be helping "the libs". So.... let him.

IDK about that. TFG's allies are making it harder to vote by mail in the states they can, at least for the poor, non-white, and Democrats.
Get rid of voting machines and control who can vote by mail? Sounds almost Putinesque, which is, I suppose not an accident.
Good thing Lindell's suit is going to be as successful as his previous efforts.
