I think the Reagan ad is most effective not by the topic but by reminding everyone that presidents don't have to sound like insane morons.

"Mate, I can't do anything but tell it to you straight. This Canada thing is literally the dumbest thing I've ever heard. The Canadians ran an advertisement showing Ronald Reagan being against tariffs. Guess what? Ronald Reagan was against tariffs."

Our military is being paid by an anonymous donor.

Our WH East Wing was demolished for a ballroom - paid for by donors.

These aren’t acts of benevolence or patriotism.

This is the oligarchy assuming control, insidiously becoming part of how we function.

Every American should reject it.

If members of the United States military are truly being paid their salaries by a private individual, the American people should know who that individual is. Now.

Americans still don't realize how bad it has gotten and how much worse it is going to get.

Immense destruction, pain and suffering, and we're not even at the tip of it.

Seems like a great moment for some magazine to do a big spread of photos of the East Wing throughout its history, driving home exactly what kinds of spaces have been taken from the people.

When we make it through these times, every tragic aspect of our current and past history should be mandatory curriculum in the same way Germany requires students to understand the rise of Nazi ideology and the atrocities they committed. Education is the safeguard against the hatred we face.

Their idea of “can’t afford it.”
A tweet from the Democrats’ official account includes a chart titled “MATH” with a Republican elephant logo. The chart contrasts what Republicans “CAN AFFORD” versus what they “CAN’T AFFORD.” Can afford: $40B bailout for Argentina, Trump’s golden ballroom, Qatar jet upgrades, National Guard takeover. Can’t afford: Health care for Americans, children’s cancer research, SNAP/WIC benefits, and special education programs.

What is happening to the White House is a crime. It is also an insult to every American past, present and future. All republicans are complicit in this outrage.

You guys, the person exercising the powers of the presidency is constitutionally disqualified from holding the office and he’s having the White House bulldozed. This is true and it’s happening, right? I’m not dreaming this?
