I thought Sheldon was gravely ill.

Good to see that he has recovered, and is in shape to assist with POTUS’ re-election.

Somebody is spending huge money on Democrat ads this month - total saturation of YouTube. Countering quickly is a good idea.

We can celebrate one zillionaire trying to counter the $$$ zillionaire Mike Bloomberg is spending for Biden. Or we can feel uneasy that presidential elections have become battles between zillionaires...

I think Youtube is catching flack over the ads.
They have toned down the constant ads over the last week.

“last-ditch effort”

but at least trump has one billionaire on his side ... almost all the rest seem to want communism for the masses (theselves and their friends excluded, of course)

Forbes identified more than 50 billionaires backing Trump, although most big players (like Trump himself) probably donate to both sides.
