What the Trump Campaign Did to the WaPo Homepage During Kamala Harris' VP Speech Should Give You a Chuckle

Laugh or cry? Well, it’s more of a double-edged sword thing the Trump campaign did to The Washington Post, but the memories of this are quite fantastic. The campaign literally bought tons of ad space on the front page of the publication, so when Kamala HVrris formally accepted the Democratic nomination for vice president, it was all Trump ads on the homepage. It caused the Left to have a meltdown (via Fast Company):

Yet, as some noted, the lefty outrage over this is a bit overblown since the money spent on the ads will certainly be used to fund hit pieces against President Trump. Still, it provides an ‘own the libs’ moment that should be cherished. Erick Erickson got a nice chuckle out of it. It’s just one of the many ways the Trump team has gotten under the skin of liberals, which isn’t that hard to do given the Left has succumbed to full-blown derangement syndrome.

I read somewhere that the DoD still hasn’t made a final decision on which cloud service to go with for Jedi - AWS (Amazon) or Azure (Microsoft). Has Bezos signed a Truce with Trump ? I think it’s unlikely but maybe he is putting a carrot in front of Trump hoping he would reconsider.

Carrot meaning making the Amazon-WP more ‘balanced’ and less TDS driven.

If I recall from the past, the WaPo had no control over this.

They place ad banners on their website, and the advertising companies serve the content to the ad banners wherever they are.

The Trump campaign bought ad space from the advertiser, and they streamed it out to all of their ad banners.

Which part is the archaeology? :-)

Sometimes I wonder if Trump doesn’t say in his own head “hey do whatever you want. Say whatever you want about me. At the end of the day I’m with this really hot woman next to me and you’re with that baboon” :)

he can make that general statement because there are very few people females more attractive than Malania

I don’t think I’ve really ever paid that much attention to a first lady at all. That changed :-)

of course I was only twelve when Nancy Reagan became first lady but I thought she was a pretty lady. She was probably striking in her youth.

Barbara Bush looked old at 15

You were lucky... When I was young, Anna E. Roosevelt was FLOTUS...
There hasn't been enough eyewash manufactured since then to remove that horror...

How bad was it? Well, in my memory, the wives of Eisenhower, Ford, & Carter were stunningly beautiful in comparison...

LOL! Probably one of those “We’re having a round table to discuss race issue.” Don’t volunteer. Racis’. Do volunteer. You’re trying to hide you’re a racis’. Good luck and keep you head down.
