White House airs another government-funded ad, this time with Trump warning of ‘final battle’
The White House has launched another taxpayer-funded television ad before the midterms, this time featuring imagery of President Donald Trump walking down a hall as audio plays of him saying “this is the final battle.”
“We will cast out the communist, Marxists, and fascists. We will throw off the sick political class that hates our country. We will rout the fake news media, and we will liberate America from these villains once and for all,” Trump says in the ad, echoing comments he made during a Veterans Day speech in 2023.

Using tax-payers money to forecast your own dunking in Boston harbor is a pretty baller move.
i actually think there is likely to be a small "civil war" after this election where certain states or counties end up with an armed standoff due to the election not being accepted or allowed to complete. the supreme court, well funded ice gestapo and loyalist military leaders are in place to easily make that real.
this is exactly the finale of rhetoric and signalling that's been going on for years
Between who and whom?
With what armies?
John Roberts is a Tankie, confirmed.
"Final battle" as in he'll be dead soon?
What Trump thinks the final battle is: the last election where the fate of not only the U.S. but also the entire world is decided (with epic music and fireworks)
What the actual final battle is: Cancer
Epic music? So "send in the clowns", but done in the style of rammstein?
I was thinking The Final Countdown while typing this. I mean this is in his head right, so he wouldn't think of a song called "send in the clowns".
No we need something more epic sounding like "Entrance of the Gladiators"
Republicans also love to do the "This is the biggest and mostest election of our entire lives!" every two years, to whip their rube base into a mad dash for the polls.
Everyone does that and have done pretty much since democracy existed.
Who still thinks there's going to be an election in the US in November? I sure as shit don't.
There will be an election. It will be fraudulent and ICE will interfere. Americans will grumble their way into full dictatorship without a shot fired
ICE has been firing a ton of shots, what are you talking about?
From the other side.
If there's no election at least there will be a civil war.
It's time to finish Sherman's work.
Midterms? Yes, but severely fucked with. Presidential election in 2028? Probably not
You people say this every fucking election for the last three decades. Knock it the fuck off.
"you people"
Why do you think that? How on earth could they stop 50 independent votes?
If only Putin could tell him how to do it. If only they'd had a series of private conversations off the record with only Putins translator present, and a series of trips, and phone calls.
Being edgy doesn’t help us plan. What are the actual mechanisms?
You can just look that up, start with control over mail in ballots, what happened to the voting machines, that they're now owned by a rightwong libertarian (hence rebranding to "liberty voting machines") the findings on how the machines can be gamed during the calibration steps that happen everyday morning (if you're in a blue state you can calibrate them to count dem votes as Republican). I suspect that's what Trump meant when he said Musks tech rats helped him with the voting machines. Then there's losing ballots ect... There's a bunch of ways you can manipulate voting without exactly manipuating any single persons vote or voting experiences...
...and you can also just load election related agencies with loyalists to bias monitoring.
All of these things have news stories out there. Just google.
I hope you’re wrong. Most dems know that mail voting is fucked anyway
Not a question of whether I'm wrong, these aren't stories or claims I'm making they're from news media over the years. I just paod attention.
So you're hoping the news media is wrong.
National emergency
You have to say more than that, of course. There’s a national emergency twice a week, and every time that Nazi declares one it’s meaningless
So what do you mean, really?
He said "stranger things have happened" when the idea of declaring a national emergency to postpone election certification
A few months ago, there was an article that a "good friend and advisor" of 47 said that he should declare a national emergency for the reason that "China will have their thumb on the scale" when it comes to our elections and said they will interfere. A national emergency would let them seize voting machines and "vet" them for accuracy and delay certification which I'm sure the GOP would goose-step in compliance to.
Pete Kegsbreath said on the 22nd that he advised the troops that they should defend our elections from "foreign threats."
They're setting the pieces in place to say that the midterms cannot be certified due to foreign interference that occurred and nobody can be sworn in until they are fully audited and therefore the GOP would continue to rule
The GOP already tested this idea with success for a special election they lost. They just refused to swear them in and certify. I believe it was one of the Carolina states.
Governors in shithole red states would kotow to the seizure and delay because according to polls, their party is likely to lose hard and blue states like CA and NY you could potentially have a civil disobedience on par to a citywide riot across multiple states.
Martial Law is declared from 47 due to the multiple states rioting and pushing back on the voting seizure and or certification delay and goodbye free elections and hello Police State
So he will cast out the...
Guys, he's gonna get rid of conservatives!
This is giving me fashbacks to 8th grade
”What exactly is fascism?"
"It's when the leaders force way(s) of life and punish anyone who won't or can't conform."
"So it's basically authoritarian, like communism?"
"Well, not exactly. Communism is explicitly antifascist and anticapitalist. Fascists actually love unchecked capitalism."
"Does that make communists good guys or not?"
"They're basically authoritarian. But we fought fascists with them."
"So what are we?"
"We have Freedom. We're different."
Freedom isn't Free
It costs folks like you and me.
And if you don't chip in your buck-o-five who will?
I find that confusing. Was he talking about Mount Rushmore itself, or the genocide of indigenous people that it represents? Maybe he's referring to a more recent triumph like the triumph of Iran over the USA.
I think he just enjoys the sound of his own throat sucking himself off
Sounds like a direct quote from Hitler except he added fascists.
Yawn.

But I thought the last election was the last one you would ever need to vote in?
I like how the shadows were an attempt to look tough. But it just highlights his stroke mouth
