This ad’s not playing at the Super Bowl. I saw one of the survivors on TV today say World Without Exploitation decided against spending $8M for a 30 sec ad when the money could be spent better elsewhere. Seemed like a sudden decision. Wouldn’t it be hard to bail on an $8M contract at the last min?

Donald claims any form of protest, like football players kneeling during the national anthem, are hateful acts by people who don’t love America. Similarly, he complains about Bad Bunny being chosen for the halftime show as divisive, not his hateful followers reactions. He turns things around.

Any idea why Adnan Khashoggi was on the list? He’s on the bottom and had no hits. Not sure why they would’ve thought he could have hits.

Sure, there’s a biblical imperative for a southern border. Everyone knows that.
But for a northern Border, there’s more room for artistry:
“Echoing a phrase he has used in recent months, Trump described the U.S.-Canada border as an "artificially drawn line"—and suggested it should be erased.”

Trump calls the U.S.-Canada border an 'artificial line.' That's not entirely true
President Trump has repeatedly described the U.S.-Canada border as an "artificially drawn line." But experts say just because it was man-made doesn't mean it's not legitimate.

I forgot about Loretta Lynch, the DOJ head the last few years of Obama‘s presidency. She was there in 2016 when Jane Doe sued Epstein & Trump alleging they raped her when she was 13. That may have been a good time for Lynch to release some Epstein docs. Someone remind Garcia to prepare questions.
