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!

President Donald Trump, fresh from confirming he’s still alive after rumors to the contrary, embarked on one of his Truth Social posting sprees—this time sharing multiple AI-generated memes and videos of himself.

In among the 15 links posted without commentary or context Saturday are several AI-generated images, including Trump as a police officer and a SWAT officer.

Him and all the other Billionaires are pouring $$$$$$ into AI

So it will make their blackmail tapes irrelevant.

Nice try there President Couch Fucker.

I hate AI pics, but I found this one that seems appropriate.

"Trump's Evaluation"

[–] Deceptichum@quokk.au 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Everyone in another thread yesterday was saying it wasn't from the right site but a parody with a similar URL?

[–] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago (2 children)

The article seems to indicate this was trump’s doing. I didn’t click through the X links because I don’t want to provide any clicks for X, and it says it was posted on TruthSocial, which I won’t visit either. If you have any links to prove it was parody, that would be helpful.

I had to go and look, the post was "What the fuck is going on with Trump’s Truth So…" in Political Memes@lemmy.world. Probably removed for AI content.

In it some users were saying the screenshots were from truthsocialapp.com and not truthsocial.com? I had no way of verifying this, so I was wondering if anyone had heard anything more as it was like 2 or 3 users saying so.

Thanks for checking.

I would highly recommend things like LibRedirect which will redirect to things like Nitter instances instead of Xitter, and same for YouTube links (Invidious instances), etc.

Thanks, I’ll check it out.

I don’t know why but my brain just auto completed that as, “… fresh from the grave…”

[–] sramder@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

Elon’s trump android is nearly ready ya’ll! 500 more years. Just ignore the charging cord running down his pant leg.

[–] AlexLost@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

Dying man baby posts fake pictures to feel better about himself as we all laugh about his impending doom. More at seven.

[–] runner_g@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 1 week ago

Did any of those posts include the Epstein files?
