Putin is not my Papi.
I’m there.

Love this video, but strong sense of deja vu.
It’s from December 2019. I hope Vicente Fox has made some new ones in the interim
ETA: Can’t find any on a quick search, but this one was good. Right down to the middle finger salute at the end.

That is hysterical.
Can The Lincoln Project air that in the DC market?

@Elizabelle: There is no pleasing you people.

Didn’t Donald Trump run on not having foreign countries laugh at us any more?
Elizabelle
@Adam L Silverman: You did. I laughed.
Where is Vicente Fox when you need him? Moar por favor.

@Elizabelle: It seems to be standing the test of time.

Holy hell, that insult at the end. I am in awe.

what I REALLY like about the convention in this format is that people who are watching can actually listen to what the candidates are saying, interpret their tone, body language, assess their sincerity for themselves; without some fucking talking head spinning whatever fucking frame they need to put a picture in.

Is that really Vicente Fox or an actor? I can’t tell
Note to Adam: spelling error on first name.

The fake Time cover in the background is also quality trolling.
Sister Golden Bear
@James E Powell: It’s him. He’s posted a number of tweets/videos trolling Trump over the years.

The thing that gets me about Fox is, he was the -conservative- when he was President of Mexico. He ran Coca-Cola in Mexico, IIRC. And here he is, making these ads that basically get him *nothing*, against Trump. It says something, that a right-winger like Fox from another country, is doing this.

The man was a mixed bag as Mexico’s president – but he is an EXCELLENT troller. :-)

@Elizabelle:
Even older than that. September 2017.

He was the guy who broke the PRI’s stranglehold on power which made Mexico a better place on its own. Regardless of what he accmplished.
Elizabelle
Vicente Fox ad, running for president. Goat with a message included.
And some choice words for Donald F. Trump. First 2 minutes of this youtube.
Elizabelle
@SiubhanDuinne: Yeah, saw that.
The Moar You Know
“Paid for by Donald Trump’s dead dad who is looking up from hell with shame in his eyes”
that is fucking COLD. I like it very much.
Kent
So has anyone checked out Fox News to see what they are saying about the Dem Convention? I don’t have the energy. But I’m curious about what talking points they are settling on to spin their shit.
cmorenc
WOW! I literally almost tipped over my chair laughing so hard at V.Fox’s video punking Trump. Surely various leaders across the world, friend and foe alike, are rolling on the floor are viewing this and rolling on the floor laughing as this hilarious deserved utter humiliation of Donald Trump.
Right out of the box, Fox went for the juglar with the “Always ask before grabbing a pussy” hat.
mrmoshpotato
It’s still a classic!
@Elizabelle: :P :)
mrmoshpotato
@piratedan: Agreed! It’s also nice to not have an audience in-person oooing and aaaahhing or jeering.
mrmoshpotato
No. Next question.

@Kent:
You go first. Or just wait a bit and see what’s trending on twitter.
Adam L Silverman
@James E Powell: Fixed

On the list. Just as soon as finish shoving all these bamboo splinters under the finger and toe nails.

It is such a pity that he and Jimmy Carter are too old to do a buddy comedy together. Both are amazing ex-Presidents but in such different ways.
