    Georgia is not only a battleground state with an influential role in choosing the next president, but it is also a beautiful place to live with wonderful natural vistas from the Blue Ridge Mountains in the north down to the islands, estuaries, and beaches by the Atlantic Ocean. There is no shortage of photographs bearing witness to its beauty so Donald Trump’s campaign must have had some other reason for using images of the wrong Georgia in Facebook ads urging potential voters to check their voter registration status. According to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, the meadowed mountain range providing the backdrop to the Trump ad was taken from Shutterstock’s photo library and appears to be in the former Soviet republic, a very different type of battleground where, no doubt, the U.S. would love to win hearts and minds, but are not so bothered about votes.

  2. Soviet Georgia – a former republic of the Soviet Union…

    Trump is a National embarrassment

    From Cumberland Island to Cloudland Canyon, Valdosta to Clayton

    He doesn’t know us. Or our State. The longest he’s been here were being processed down at Pine Street.

    He was distracted thinking of where he’s going to have Putin give him property when he has to leave the US to avoid prosecution

  5. How many of Trump’s Georgian voters do you think know geography well enough to tell the difference?

    *Ossetia, Osettia*

    *The whole day through*

    *Just an old sweet song*

    *Keeps Ossetia on my mind*

  7. Please vote guys, don’t let these lunatics anywhere near power. Bring your friends and family to vote too.

  9. Sounds like what happens when people who lie on their resume are hired by people who also lied on their resume.

  10. I mean. I think I have an idea of how this mistake happened? 

    It’s because the Russians run their campaigns. 

    Ted Cruz has used images from Russian Military adverts

    It’s amazing the story GOP tells when you look up their B-roll content.

    Like when FauxNews made a highlight reel about all the BLM crime, and one of the pictures was from a soccer riot in Spain and on the image site that sold the image, it had descriptors like *”minorities, riots, destruction, migrants, poor people”*.

    It makes it obvious what the media guy typed into the search engine.
