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.

    I think it was letterman that started his show with “from New York, the greatest city in the world”

    The only people you’ll find actually saying that are New Yorkers. And they have said that shit for a LONG ass time. Their arrogant delusions are sort of unmatched when it comes to having the “best”… whatever. Pizza, bagels, art, etc. they’ll claim everything they do is the best in the world regardless of reality.

      Hey now, other cities are welcome to flex about their pizza and bagels if they’re actually better than NYC’s (they’re not).

        If you know where to go, you can find them just as good or better in Jersey.

        Not trying to hate on NYC (though the cost of living there should be a literal crime)

      I love NYC but no doubt there are a lot of insufferable people there. It says a lot about how much the city feels entitled to dominating the state’s culture that the word “New Yorker” only means people from the city.

      If you’re from anywhere else in the state you have to phrase it in a more awkward way (“I’m from upstate” or “I’m from NY state”).
