The Political Ad Thread

[falafel]

We've had some year-specific political ad threads, but hopefully we can aggregate future posts in this larger thread.

Here is a great new ad from Michele Fiore, former Nevada Assembly leader and current Las Vegas City Councilwoman who just announced a run for governor. If Ford isn't paying her for this ad, they better be suing her for stealing their IP.

Man, she has something to get off her chest, doesn't she? Y'all there in LV deserve her as your county commissioner.

She definitely has an inflated view of herself.

Also, I misspoke. She is a Las Vegas City Councilwoman, not County Commissioner. Which means she doesn't represent me.

Also, also, there was an interesting development regarding Ms. Fiore recently. She and one of her colleagues on the City Council apparently got into a physical altercation recently and it was recorded on the City's CCTV system. When the newspaper found out about it made a public records request, the City had destroyed the video, claiming it was done under their vendor's "normal document retention policy". I don't think it had been more than 14 days between the fight and the request.

Depending on the content of the video, I have a feeling a copy of it will surface during her campaign. Allegedly Fiore ran from the other Councilwoman and hid in Mayor Goodman's office.

Not so subtle nod to violence as she holds her gun while saying 'Biden'.

A very serious politician.

Note that the "boring, moderate, blue-blazer politician" on the tv screen she pushes off the table is Mitt Romney.

She seems like a horrible person.

She is absolutely the worst type of person. Dumb as a bag of rocks from a policy standpoint, but very cagey. As corrupt as the summer day is long, but guns and Trump and stuff. So she's got a chance. She forced her way onto a LV board and then used it to travel on the city's dime.

A Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority board member traveled around the world last year at the agency’s expense amid growing scrutiny over inappropriate spending and perks for its board.

Michele Fiore, a Las Vegas city councilwoman who joined the board in March, has taken four international trips since May despite recent policy reform aimed at limiting board member travel to one trip a year, records show.

Fiore received permission for the additional trips from then-board Chairman Lawrence Weekly under an exemption that requires the chairman’s approval.

But in just seven months, records show, Fiore spent about $33,000 in taxpayer funds, accounting for nearly half of all board travel since 2016 and raising questions about whether she violated the intent of the policy. Fiore’s travels appear to show a disconnect between a push to reform the agency under a new CEO and a board that has enjoyed expensive gifts, VIP treatment at LVCVA-sponsored events and worldwide travel.

To help fund some of the trips, Fiore also used campaign contributions, drawing concerns about whether the spending potentially violated campaign laws that prohibit the use of donations for personal expenses.

Fiore said her trips to Brazil, Japan, Singapore and Spain last year were needed to help sell Las Vegas as a tourist destination. She said she plans to take more trips funded by the LVCVA, including visiting all of the agency’s offices overseas.

“I went into this as knowing this was a traveling board,” she said in an interview. “We are in 14 countries and, just for the record, I plan on going to all 14 countries.”

Fiore allowed only 15 minutes for the interview, and she left before answering all of the questions.

Michelle Fiore convicted of six counts of wire fraud. She’s gonna do time. This time it was for yet another scandal—fundraising for a tribute statute to a fallen police officer. Only the city already had a donor for the statue (which she knew) and she was pulling the donations out and transferring them to a personal account as fast as they came in.

Also, Fiore believes that if she had just had the opportunity to talk with the judge, this misunderstanding would all be cleared up:

That attorney does sound confident.

Michelle Fiore Pardoned by Trump. F*** you, Mr. Trump. I say that with all due respect, of course. Which is none, of course.

She is the absolute worst. Well, except Trump.

By the way, one of the fallen police officers was a member of the church who left behind a widow and 3 kids.. In case you needed any other reason to hate this twit.
