It's been blissfully ad free. I have ad blockers on my tech, off grid phone numbers so any spam calls go to the "official" line and that one doesn't come home with me. I don't watch "tv". I made friends with the mail guy ages ago to stop the flow of junk. (junk mail is a jobs program for people with no applicable skill set.) I think the only ad I've observed is a small hand made sign for Harris on a light pole at the end of my street. Im sure if I go to other parts of the city there are yard signs, but that's fine, minimally obnoxious. My meat manager was complaining about them so they exist here, I just wasn't exposed. He does more social media than I do, though, and generally cooperates with the modern world more. Does things like flies commercial and is willing to enter the state of California or NY.

I really hope that the Trump administration don't let some of these other races get cheated. Arizona comes to mind with more votes for their local race then for President. All from maricopa county naturally. It'd be a shame to let those go just because they won everything else.

It also could be that for every person who has been propagandized into oblivion, there is a person who has been awakened to reality by the unending barrage of such obvious, overt lies. I consider myself one of these people, thanks in part to a statement Mark made concerning how to interpret the media, in a video about self-sufficiency a few years back.
Mark, in all sincerity I owe you a debt of gratitude for that, and for teaching me (by publicly-available video and by the Blue Book) how to squat, pain-free.

Here's another good one: https://x.com/MattWalshBlog/status/1854551876915658935Students at Georgetown's McCourt School of Public Policy were reportedly offered treats like "milk and cookies" and "hot cocoa" as well as "Lego" toys and "Coloring and Mindfulness Exercises" to get their minds off the election results.
...Economics lecturer Maxim Boycko reportedly told students during his "Intermediate Microeconomics" course that in-class quizzes would be optional on Wednesday and that students could take time off if they needed to process the election results.
"As we recover from the eventful election night and process the implications of Trump’s victory, please know that class will proceed as usual today, except that classroom quizzes will not be for credit," Boycko wrote in an email obtained by the Crimson. "Feel free to take time off if needed."
...On the other side of the country, in Tacoma, Washington, The University of Puget Sound announced a full week of "self-care" election activities to stressed students.
Students were invited to stroll in a "walkable labyrinth" with "calming lighting and music;" "recharge" their mental health in an arts and crafts corner; or make a collage in a "supportive space for election processing." Other events on the week's schedule included "support spaces" exclusively for LGBTQ students and students of color to talk about their election anxiety.
...At the University of Oregon, "Quacktavious the Therapy Duck," baby therapy goats and therapy dogs were brought to campus "to promote well-being and lessen anxiety" for students, according to the school's event calendar and first reported by Campus Reform.
Students at Virginia Tech could play with therapy dogs, do arts and crafts or join a "guided stretching" class as part of the school's Election Day activities organized by the counseling center. A full day of "self-care" activities, including yoga classes, "restorative dialogue," and therapy dog "pawfice" hours was offered to process the election results on Wednesday at the college.

And these people are not embarrassed by this.

My buddy Racculia pointed out a very important fact, that I had completely missed: The early voting push kept them from being able to effectively cheat this time. With early trends established, sudden "discoveries" of huge numbers of ballots at 3am become obviously implausible, so the vote got counted correctly. By now we have all seen the numbers comparing 2020 and 2024, making the Babylon Bee headline a bit less funny:4D Chess: Democrats Admit Trump Actually Won In 2020 And Is Now Unable To Serve Third Term | Babylon Bee
4D Chess: Democrats Admit Trump Actually Won In 2020 And Is Now Unable To Serve Third Term

Has Arizona figured out how to count their ballots yet? Maybe they need to hire Florida to run their elections for them.
Do you really think that the Kerri Lake campaign is not watching this process very closely? It is one of the most highly scrutinized counts in the country. In addition Lara Trump and the RNC have mobilized an army of lawyers and are employing a bounty program looking for cheaters. The D cheaters are on notice- they will be caught and prosecuted.
If Lake does not win it will be because she was a very poor candidate- alienating the pro abortion voters for no good reason- and because she is very unlikable person.
I voted for her only because she is a Trump sycophant and will support everything he wants. Otherwise she is pretty useless.
She will probably lose and it will be on her. She is miles behind Trump's numbers which should tell you something.
Tom Homan is the real deal. Hoping Mayorkis gets life in prison, or, that "other" penalty for being a traitor.

One of my favorite quips last night was something like "It's 11 pm, and Florida has recounted their votes again just for fun."
I mused that night on a few things. One was that this is the beginning of the fight, but another was how happy I was to see both early voting and the reporting coming through from polls at how powerful the Trump vote continued to trend. Cheat or not, it would be easily demonstrable that significant and obvious deviations were occuring. Perhaps Trump suddenly "losing" would have been worse for the establishment.
At this point, AZ shows not just corruption, but I think more importantly the utter incompetence that almost universally accompanies it.
I have to ask: now the "opposition's" 2020 chess move has been revealed, and it's out in the open the last "election" was, in fact, "stolen" - what do you, constitutionally minded and strapped Americans physically do about it?
Vote harder?
'American democracy' WAS in peril. Is there actually *anything worth saving* which was imperilled?
Is this the real "lie agreed upon"?
That this thing doesn't really matter in the first instance, and it's all theatrical?
