Hope it’s nice. I need a big dose of hand-drawn sentiment. People get so creative and I love it.

Smashing all the records now, and it's not a presidential. Reception problems with the Lions, so I had Peacock open on my laptop at the same time. Totally different national brand ads, and no political ads. Here's a case where how you receive a broadcast fractures the target even more. It's wild.

That whole thing is AI, isn't it? Looked totally fake. But yes, "war. gov" was chilling. Figure anyone that appeals to has already joined ICE. Saw the Paxtons, including the wife. If buying national time becomes a thing in '28, god help us all.

I just saw the same McCann ad back to back, so my guess is yes. Just throw it at the wall. There is something to be said about repetition leaving an imprint, also, short-attention span people dialing around, and you need to catch them. A lot of airtime to fill, apparently they bought it all.

The one interesting tidbit from that Mitchell is 11% had already voted, which seems high for having ballots for roughly a week. Mitchell is small sample, high MOE, known as Republican, so take with a grain of salt.

And just to spite me, I post and look over to see it on my local *muted* Tegna. LOL. The thing with "exclusive" is others will report on your "exclusive." It's hit and miss. Locals be tricky like that.

"That information is according to a poll whose results are exclusive to CBS Detroit and other select television stations." The other "select television stations" being Sinclair. 🤔 Others slap the "exclusive" on too (Nexstar/EPIC) - can't recall a coordinated effort with Mitchell before though.

ABC did play this on the overnight, called it a joke. "he jokingly said..." And then they laughed. This came after a report where they took everything ELSE he said and presented it as gospel. Network news is utter garbage.

The Kidz Today, they don't like Trump. "One key issue where young voters seem to be coalescing is disapproval of President Donald Trump. In MI, 78% of voters had an unfavorable opinion of the president while just 19% had a favorable opinion, similar to those in most other battleground states."

Not trying to downplay the severity of foreign interference in our elections, but have you met Elon Musk? Or Donald Trump? The call is coming from inside the house. Go ahead and call him antisemitic in an AI video; I've got him sending rapists and murderers to every house in MI coming from the TV.

"The Russia-aligned network, known as Operation Overload or Matryoshka, targeted El-Sayed and (D) candidates in several other states with videos accusing politicians collectively of corruption, antisemitism and misconduct, according to Graphika." Can't hold a candle to the disinfo coming from Rs.

Was hit on my walkies the other day with a house that had the full slate of Rs - and I had to stop and blink because it didn’t compute. Then I crossed the street. 😂 Looking for school board candidates, and this is where the signs DO work. I know I’m not alone on this, so, make your signs people.

“Abdul El-Sayed would hand Michigan to criminals!” SLF. You mean, all these corrupt people running for office in all the other ads? 🤔 At least we’re not getting the anti-trans crap (yet?). Didn’t work for Tudor so I bet they stay away.
