Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

If you speed up the video, his face is obviously fake.

When he came back after he disappeared he looked like he had a stroke. I think he's having many mini strokes making it harder for him to disguise after each one.

I know we just recently got into a bit of tussle elsewhere, but I think I mostly agree with you here.

The uh, the 'morph-cut', when his hands shift and kinda melt?

Look above his head when that happens.

The lighting and shadow on the trees in the background changes.

Its all one way before that happens, and its all another way after that happens.

... I think he literally stroked out, while they were filming this, thats why the morph cut is there, and if some body wanted to try to model the scene, the oval office, geopositioned right, with the sun, they could probably estimate how long it was between these two shots they merged together... or timeskipped between.

I don't think his face is completely fake, I think it may have some kind of... correction applied to it, to try to minimize the droopiness of ... what you can see in his face today, from the 9/11 memorial.

Sorta like how and instagram filter morphs your face... and a frame stabilization effect tries to keep objects centered and just boink the frame itself around...

Something like a face stabilization effect, if that makes any sense.

I agree with all of that. I meant his mouth specifically when I said his face.We live in wild times.

Ah, yeah, just the mouth, that makes more sense.

Ever see Equilibrium?

The uh, dear leader... just straight up is a digital construction, got a fake voice and all that too?

... Too bad gun kata would never work at all in real life...
