The Democratic National Committee on Wednesday sued Donald Trump’s administration for recent television advertisements that promoted his political message while costing taxpayers millions of dollars.

The complaint, filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, alleges that the ads are illegal government-sponsored propaganda and accuses Trump of personally directing them. It asks the court to declare the ads illegal and stop the use of federal funds to pay for them.

Trump has faced bipartisan backlash for the ads, which glorify him and echo his campaign pitch as voters cast early ballots with the midterm elections less than a month away.

    Yes.

    People need to stop blaming Trump.

    Every fucking Republican is the problem.

    Democrats are fucking shit, but at least they are not fucking authoritarian Christo fascists.

      A good saying I heard recently is that voting for a candidate is like picking a bus route. It won’t usually take you exactly where you want to go, so you pick the one that gets you closest.
