The Servant Foundation, aka The Signatry, is behind the ad blitz. Over the next 3 years, they plans to spend “about a billion dollars” toward this campaign.

I'm also trying 2 make plain that what even Mattis was trying 2 push that "both sides do that" is GOP trying 2 survive but if we buy that BS out of repetition we're doomed. DNC did NOT side w/Russia, or try 73+ times 2 repeal Obamacare, or give #TaxScamForRich, or protect 45
aka #TraitorInChief come Hell or high water, did NOT insert judges on USC whose main qualification was being right-wing zealots, did NOT condone conspiracy theories pushed by WH on all media leading to hatred & violence, did NOT block Muller Investigation & the appoint Barr to
