Covfefe Diem, imperator!
Covfefe is Classical Latin, not Vulgar Latin which is what the plebeians speak.
Same energy, different target demographic.
That address redirects to I think three different sites without HTTPS and then it ends up on some webhosting site
Uh-oh, it’s one of those websites
Not weird at all. Totally normal website made by a totally normal person.
Seriously, it’s like everytime you have a jet ski party and someone has to go to the hospital, suddenly the news is saying he got shot. It’s like ‘ugggh’, right?
Why do these websites always read like a bottle of Dr.Bronner?
Dr Bronner’s insane ramblings are at least wholesome though
This is the most important news item of all time.
…where the police promptly shot him?
Probably, actually.
BLACKS FOR TRUMP SAID DO THIS.
Why is all of this written so completely stupidly?
Thank you for putting me on to where goes :)
Means they stopped paying for their domain and some ad squatter picked it up
Gods 1 was way better.
Into the wonderful
It’s from 2016…I would have been surprised if it still worked.
It works fine for me, although maybe OP fixed it?
Nah. That website is probably just hosted on a Pentium 2 and it struggles to host 10 active sessions.
I bet this was some sort of gen AI mishap: “translate this campaign text to Latin”, because of course Latinos speak Latin, and it’s called Latin America too!
Although this would be twice as hilarious if they hired a translator who just went “🤷 ah well, money is money”
or just scrolling through a drop down list of languages and saw Latin before Spanish.
Well, they ARE LATINos, not SPANISHos, silly
Genuinely giggling to myself over the pronunciation as spuh-NEE-shohs
if they hired a translator who just went “🤷 ah well, money is money”
Probably a Latini…
Anyways, this reminds me when the series Homeland filmed at a location that was supposed to be a syrian refugee camp and hired arab speaking graffiti artists to “add authenticity” and they wrote things like “Homeland is racist” and “BlackLivesMatter” and shit like it instead of the requested “Pro -Assad” messages… https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2015/oct/15/homeland-is-racist-artists-subversive-graffiti-tv-show
“However, as Homeland always strives to be subversive in its own right and a stimulus for conversation, we can’t help but admire this act of artistic sabotage.”
Dude can’t even admit the fact that they purposefully portray Muslim countries like that. What a shit bag.
What a dipshit, using a dead language for a dead campaign.
This can’t be real. I mean . . it very much can be real, but c’mon. Somebody’s just fucking with us right

Republican ideology natural selects dipshit
Oh absolutely. I can see it happening for sure. But did it? Is this real?
I’m thinking it’s not. Just a goof being presented as a real thing.
As somebody far enough from any America, I got a few healthy recreational grunting laughs from this.
The number of people in my town that think our language is American, Mexicans speak Mexican, all Asian people are Chinese, and any random combination of cities/countries are part of the United States makes this very plausible.
Oh its possible, sure. But is it real or a prank?
The fact that we have to ask is scary enough
Sure, but we’ve been in this timeline since the Escalator Ride to Hell so it’s not, like, that unusual.
Heck, Pizzagate was a no-shit, for real thing these chowderheads yapped about for years. Maybe still do.
Like you could say American is a sub dialect of English with it further broken down into accents. But I doubt most folks think of it that way, especially folks who say “I speak American” outside of an argument with the English.
and any random combination of cities/countries are part of the United States
You do have a few Saint-Petersburgs, right? And Athens? And Cairos?
that think our language is American,
Similar to Russia then.
Mexicans speak Mexican,
Similar to Russia then.
all Asian people are Chinese,
Still similar to Russia.
The problem is I can see it being real and I can see it being put up by either campaign
Democrats are much more likely to have a Spanish speaker on staff at all levels. They are a more diverse bunch. Republicans, many from southern states will speak some Spanish, more so than northern white democrats. But, they are more likely to he a white only staff at each level, so nobody would pick up on it.
This is part of the reason diversity is important. It will be self evident to some people that things are not right, whereas those in a different world won’t even notice.
How the hell can you see this being put up by Democrats? What idiot messaging do they have that even comes close to the torrent of ignorant bullshit the republiQans swim in every moment of the day?
Not the party, but it falls very in line with the current “whether or not this is true, they seem the type” attacks such as the couch fucker memes
I see the couch memes as an extension of “I can see Russia from my house” memes.
Romanes eunt domus
People called Romanes they go the house?
It says, “Romans go home!”
No it doesn’t!
Romani ite domum!
Now write that 100 times!

Is it just me that wants to vandalize the Billboard with “Romanes eunt domus”
People called Romanes, they go the house?
Not “Sic semper tyrannis”?
If you’d do that I’d want to correct your terrible grammer!
Now, write it 100 times, or I’ll cut your bollocks off.
Only Latin he needs is sic semper tyrannis
Get your foot off my neck
I don’t know Latin and haven’t taken Spanish for like 20 years, but would the first line translate to “Legal (my emphasis) Hispanics and Latinos”? Gotta love courting the votes of a demographic while still showing your bias against them.
Yep. I studied Latin and the “legales” is modifying the two nouns.
The first actually refers to residents of Hispania, so any classical Latin speaking immigrants from Spain and Portugal should feel included.
The second refers to the Latins, who were assimilated into the Roman (Trojan if believe the Aeneid) population and no longer exist.
Stylistically, I would have gone with the enclitic “-que” over the conjunctive “et.”
EDIT: They messed up the verb. Well, I’m guessing they thought they were using a verb. The “vota” is the nominative plural of votum, so it reads “Votes for Trump.”
They’re not bright enough to know that the English verb “elect” derives from the perfect passive participle of “eligo, eligere” - electus.
They should have gone with “Eligite Trump!” - “Choose/Elect Trump!”
Basically I think though my latins rusty it reads like google translate in that the form seems wrong like someone transliterated English to Latin and ignored Latin grammar and logic in that Latin speaking people in Latin really doesn’t exist in the same way. Latini I think was only the subgroup of Latin speakers in Italy named Latium, either way not how a Roman Latin speaker would refer to a Latin speaker in general, not that the concept existed in the same way.

It’s kind of like translating Japanese directly into English, reads off if you say in the room there are many chair in English kinda deal.
I know maga is dumb and all but I gotta imagine this is fake. No way they would actually know latin. That would only happen if they went to church as much as they pretend they do.
The more likely scenario is that some staffer used Google translate, and thought that Latin means the language of the Latinos.
Google translate says the bottom line is Czech. LMAO
Could be identical in both languages.
It isnt
Kek. I’m reminded of when the Russian FSB supposedly caught Western spies in Russia. Among the incriminating evidence were several pirated copies of The Sims game. Presumably, the FSB goons were told to plant phone simcards at the scene but they misunderstood it to mean the PC game. As such, I am conjecturing that this billboard was designed by inept Russian or Indian online operatives.
bruh google translate
No way this is real lmaoo
I almost have tears in my eyes.
Also a bit reminiscent of Johnny de Vito in “Romancing the stone”
Y’know I could see this being done by a third party in an attempt to portray the GOP as not caring about Hispanics (Not that they do care lol)
They would be heroes, this is amazing if so
This also is amazing if it’s the GOP…
Just a different sort of amazing…
Trump pro imperatore MMXXIV
Hoc comment me fecit rideat
Finally, a candidate that is pro-opera.
Bad news: they’re pro Repo! The Genetic Opera
I always thought the repossession industry was more of a financial opera.
Then don’t watch the Genetic one 😂
Ok I’ll write “Hispanics and Latinos vote for Trump” and so they think it’s from one of them, translate-> Latina and done!
Bottom text does seem like informal portuguese, so progressive
