1. K & R

And he's the smart one too!

[DeeDeeNY]

5. It's a low bar

[zebonaut]

2. A more realistic construction image:

[Lochloosa]

9. What about a more realistic construction image than that....

He wouldn't be caught dead on one of my company's jobs.

The company I work for, safety comes first. There are no exceptions to that rule.

I'll leave it at that.

[C Moon]

14. +1

[zebonaut]

22. Present Company Excepted;-)

[douggg]

24. No safety regs, no workman's comp if Jeb's pals

get their way.

[turbinetree]

11. This is really is just to funny.......................

Honk-------------------for a political revolution Bernie 2016

[daleanime]

3. ........

[Doctor_J]

4. I am amazed

that we cannot take the country back from people like this.

6. About the watermark...

Not only cheap, but isn't that illegal? I don't think that you can use "comp" images for commercial uses.
Not as huge as a crime his brother committed but it shows the mindset.
I may be wrong...

[Ino]

15. You're right... it's illegal. (nt)

[Auggie]

37. Yes -- absolute violation.

[progressoid]

16. Either shoddy work or criminal.

It may be that whomever did the layout paid for the image but forgot to swap out with the mock-up with the correct file.

[Old Crow]

7. Jeb!

Now we know why the exclamation mark is at the end of his name. It works like this:

Who forgot to fill the Brita pitcher? JEB!

Who forgot to put the toilet seat down? JEB!

Who forgot to check the origin of the images in his latest presidential ad? JEB!

[RoccoR5955]

17. No silly, it's an acronym.

JEB! = Just Elect Bernie!

[Old Crow]

18. Ha ha ha! Good one! (N/T)

[Demeter]

30. That is too precious!

Unfortunately, also too subtle for public use. Sure wish it could be used.

[Kokonoe]

34. A bird told me he will Now Not use the exclamation.

Nice One

[dickthegrouch]

40. That has to be fed to "The Late Show"

I'm sure he could have fun with that.

Shame Jeb already appeared, I'd have loved to see his reaction to that.

[AlbertCat]

8. They STILL haven't learned to check sources...

What does it take?
Clip art is easy to track down.

[Atman]

36. Not much checking is required.

Take it from one who has purchased thousands upon thousands of stock images for political ads, they all are searchable by keywords. Geographic location is almost always among the description. If not, if we couldn't verify where a photo was from, we didn't use it. This is some pretty shoddy work.

[sarge43]

10. He's run out of feet to put in his mouth. n/t

[arcane1]

28. Isn't he also the one who wants to put Thatcher on the $10 bill? n/t

[sarge43]

29. He is. Jeb? n/t

[hibbing]

12. I still think he'll win the nomination

Trump is like a train wreck waiting to happen. If Jebby can up his racism, he will gain in the polls.


Peace

[moonscape]

32. I hope so. Of the mainstream options,

and I use 'mainstream' loosely, he's the most beatable.

[KT2000]

13. the ladder!!

That is something we find amazing about construction in Asia. How could they miss that - really incompetent.

[Old Crow]

19. Spot on!

No one questioned all the bamboo in that shot? That is the exact same type of incompetency that we saw with the last Bush in office.

[d_legendary1]

20. He's technically not wrong on the watermarked photo

only because everything in America comes from China so...yay America?

[yuiyoshida]

21. woohoo!!!

for the Construction workers in Asia

[HassleCat]

23. America Could be great if...

If we let our construction workers climb around on rickety bamboo scaffolding with no fall protection, we could be great again. And lower taxes for the rich, of course. But you knew that already.

[nxylas]

25. "Cornwall, England"

I know some Cornish people who would object to that, maintaining that Cornwall is a Celtic nation in its own right (though not recognised as such by the British government).

[MyOwnPeace]

26. But wait!

What else should we expect when the advisers and "power team" that are "leading" his campaign are so many of the same ones that led "DimSon" and us into IRAQ!

[arcane1]

27. You just can't make this stuff up. 2016 will be the year satire officially dies.

[Initech]

33. We have Donald Trump running for president. And he's ahead in the polls.

Satire has been dead for a while now!

[Demeter]

31. Outsourcing the propaganda

Isn't he a great leader, or what?

[douggg]

35. Jeb has to outsource his pride in what he wishes America

would look like.

[patsimp]

38. more republican lies

[liberal N proud]

39. Laddies and Gentlemen, we have successfully outsourced America

All places, images and people are now outsourced.

[truebluegreen]

41. It is astonishing what passes for "competence" or "brains" in this country.

Somebody hired these people, and pays them well.

[HughBeaumont]

42. It's like I said before . . . .

. . . Not even his war criminal brother's campaign was this kindergarten.
