Trumps lies are going to push Kamala into prosecutor mode.

Watching the pre-show and evidently there’s a new TV show with Don Johnson coming. The commercial has me wondering how many times people can sample Tom Tom Club’s “Genius of Love”.

Don Johnson is still a thing, huh?

He had one or two good bits in there, but man…I haven’t watched him recently, and I think that he’s a lot weaker in 2024 than he was during his first time around.

Like, I remember him doing a beautiful video montage a few times that had people “debating” their past selves, where they made inconsistent statements. I feel like that really added to the discussion. He could make a point and do so humorously.

He got the accolades he did for improving the political discussion from just a comedy show.

But most of this was pretty meh, IMHO.

That being said, I don’t know who’s writing for him these days. And his team didn’t have a lot of lead time to cover the debate, so I can kind of understand there not being a lot of great material there. Maybe they’ll have more-meaty stuff on the debate in a day or so.

When Kamala looks like that, I’d be scared of her rebuttal.

She did the job she went there to do. This debate will generate enough material for her campaign to use.

my American affiliates come from Detroit so the local commercials are always wild

ABCDE , 3 hours ago

BBC here, so we just get some dramatic music for three minutes.

FlyingSquid , 3 hours ago

PBS mostly talked about how awesome PBS is.

like what?

the last ad break had someone saying (cw violence)

spoilerhe was a Kamala supporter until his son was hit by a car and reversed and driven over again by someone in the country illegally

another one I’ve seen during football is (cw sexual violence)

spoilerI’m not old enough to vote but if I get sexually assaulted Donald Trump’s policies will force me to carry the baby so think of me when you vote

the local candidate also has a commercial that talks about how she enlisted after 9/11 that uses 9/11 imagery

I’ve been video capturing some of the more interesting commercial breaks, I was thinking of making a Swing State Local TV Ad Starter Pack Screenshot meme but idk, it couldn’t possibly be balanced and seems crass. it’s probably best to collect them as a time capsule at least for now.

her plan to defund police and her plan to confiscate guns.
