#1 Colorado 4th District is part of the greater targeted media blitz area attempting to convince converting farmland into solar and wind camps is not only natural, but your duty. So you will not be surprised when it is discovered that those likes which aren't bots will be other hacks and the advertising company's shills.

Served 4 years in the army 1986-1990, which is fine, but he uses that like he is some billy badass authority.

What a tool.

*wouldn't matter if the truck is up on blocks, it is the suspension. Tool is in a slouch position, which means (if it isn't a green screen) he is at the furthest leverage position on the truck and his feet are off the ground. The amount of up-and-down he does would cause some rocking, especially on such a tiny truck. And this guy is no Redneck, he is a Dandy.

#2 HAHAHA! Nice find, tw.

It does not appear to be a green screen shot. The edges look nice and the lighting matches. To be fair, all the edges in the foreground (shirt, face & hat) are smooth with no tricky to composite features like strands of fly-away hair. If it is a green screen, they did a nice job.

#3 I can’t claim credit for it, SteveS — I stole it from Instapundit.

But I found this one all by myself — Mr. Meyers is easily found once one knows who to look for:

#4 More on Dollar Tree Sam Elliot:

Vice President at-large, Young Democrats of Southern Colorado, 1990-2000.

Calls Trinidad home, which is anything but a bastion of conservatism.

To be fair, his time in the army was 101st as a Chinook crew chief. (sure seems to be a lot of politicians who did the minimum time in but had fancy titles, eh?)

I think there is enough fraud here to discredit the channel without getting into location or studio*.

Ace is reporting that another spoke of the tiktok blitz is that Kamala is a Brat. I've actually heard of this spoke. What I hadn't heard is one of the wags snark, "It's pronounced Brah-T." Well played.

*I'm mixed. On one hand he has a really nice camera which can do things like optimal lighting and zero-shake, which with a foreshortened focal plane makes things look flat. On the other, if there is zero-shake there should be zero shake, the awkward posture and reading off of something doesn't make sense. Neither does absolutely nothing moving on the Colorado front range on a partial cloudy day.

I think I kind of remember something about that election; he was some sort of great blue hype who would turn the front range democrat, and he got absolutely shellacked.

#6 This is why the Left can't comprehend the Right as they think of all the astroturfing they do is done by others.

#7 Thank you for the hat-tip TW; team effort.

So arrogant, so stupid.

"Old white guy in a hat and drawl, run it."
"Shouldn't we check his background..."
"F8ck it, we're going live; we have a deadline and we have to meet quota."

"Brat-wursts for Kamala!" jajajajaja

#8 IIRC, someone in Texas had a term for people like Vic Meters: "All hat and no cattle."
