Holy shit, this ad! I cannot imagine the impetus for pardoning this guy. But I’m not even sure it matters. Kind of along the lines of that Roger Marshall ad. If you’re explaining you’re losing.

The experiment has been run. In Quebec low cost daycare resulting in tens of thousands of additional women joining the workforce. The increase in taxes to both provincial and federal governments were more than the cost of the subsidy.

Women who have been in abusive relationships understand the kind of man Trump is better than any journalist & if we had a better media system we would have heard from those women more from the beginning. Journalists often *sound* like people trapped in those relationships! Same rationalizations!

Five corporations control 90% of the US media. Airlines have merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today. A handful of companies control the pharmaceutical industry. Four giants control 80% of meat processing. The evidence of corporate concentration is everywhere.
