Against this backdrop is early voting, mail-in balloting, and the possibility of attacks on US infrastructure, by enemies, foreign and domestic.

An execrable fake, holding these happy-clapper stunts with his “fans” … peak cowardice. No reaching out. No listening to undecided voters in varied demographics in swing states. He’s milking October for back slaps, this 2 a.m. slot cruise ship comic. He just knows he’s lost. pic.twitter.com/t3wWKtAB5o— Monty Thoreau 🦚🏝🇪🇺🌍 (@gardenjardinage) October 14, 2020

SCOOP: A new pro-Trump super PAC ad uses stock footage from Russia and Belarus in a major ad buy that’s airing in 3 swing states. It’s the fourth time in three months that an ad promoting President Donald Trump’s reelection has used footage from Russia. https://t.co/h6QgQ9Ye44
A new pro-Trump super PAC ad uses stock footage from Russia and Belarus in a major ad buy that’s airing in three swing states. It’sthefourthtimein three months that an ad promoting President Donald Trump’s reelection has used footage from Russia.
America First Action last Thursday launched anadcalled “Pandemic Tax” in Florida, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin as part of a $10 million ad campaign slamming Joe Biden for supporting bad trade deals and arguing that he would raise taxes on “all of us.” But some of the people featured in the ad were actors in stock footage from Russia and Belarus.
At about 14 seconds in, the ad features a shot of new parents in dark silhouettes holding up their baby in front of a window as the phrase “HIGHER TAXES ON EVERY INCOME GROUP” appears on the screen. That specific footage, titled “Man And Woman Playing With Baby Near The Window,” isavailable for salefor $65 on stock footage website Pond5 by auserwho goes by Kmikidov.
The same footage isavailableon Shutterstock by auserof the same name, whose profile links to the Facebookpageof Konstantin Mikidov, which lists his location as the Russian city of Novosibirsk in Siberia. He didn’t respond to requests for comment sent through his Pond5 and Facebook accounts.
Trump closing message seems to be insulting seniors and women who live in the suburbs, spreading Covid, and eliminating healthcare.— Brian Schatz (@brianschatz) October 14, 2020
