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!

Hmm.. Seems he's (pretending to be) sincere towards most people, but Larry King of all people was his one true love for some reason 🤔

If a film sex tape was released tomorrow from the Epstein estate with Trump balls deep in a child, MAGA would claim it was a body double.

Edit: emphasis on film

AI is the perfect scapegoat. Just claim it's a deepfake and when experts come out saying it doesn't have the hallmark artifacts of one, cry about muh radical left or something.

[–] WizardofFrobozz@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 day ago

Why wouldn’t they? Nobody’s punching them in the mouth.

[–] Cort@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

Deep fake. Though, obviously not that deep according to Stormy

That drawing is much worse than was described. That isn't the outline of a grown woman.

Yes.

This is so much worse than I imagined. I just assumed (as it was described as a 'naked woman' in the press) that it would be a cartoonish, exaggerated female form in a provocative pose, big tits and massive hips. The kind of thing an adolescent boy would draw in the margins of a text book at high school.

Instead, it's THIS. Something that oozes darkness. It isn't a women, it isn't even a person, it's just a torso. No head, legs or arms. Robbed of all autonomy, or thought or independence. The only detail he thought was important enough to add were it's boyish looking, high set breasts. Reminiscent of a preteen.

it's beyond creepy or pervy and is actually deeply disturbing.

That didn't happen.

And if it did, it wasn't that bad.

And if it was, that's not a big deal.

And if it is, that's not my fault.

And if it was, I didn't mean it.

And if I did, you deserved it.

[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 9 points 1 day ago

and if it was bad, Obama did it first.

And as someone else said, Aaron Parnas maybe, they're effectively asserting the forgery occurred decades ago and Jeffrey kept it all those years not knowing it was fake despite a close relationship with Trump.

[–] xc2215x@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago

It is his real signature though.

[–] FreshParsnip@lemmy.ca 15 points 1 day ago (1 children)

And even if they were convinced it was 100% legit, they'd find a way to claim that's not bad

I've already seen people say that.

The Epstein Estate (TOTAL LOSERS, sick people, everyone knows it) has now joined forces with the RADICAL LEFT DEMOCRATS — the Crooked, NASTY, Trump-Hating Liberal Mob — to create a FAKE, DISGUSTING, totally PHONY Birthday Card with my PERFECT, one-of-a-kind Signature (the BEST signature, EVERYBODY says so). This is the most PATHETIC Hoax since the RUSSIA, RUSSIA, RUSSIA SCAM and the TWO (yes, TWO!) RIDICULOUS Impeachments that went NOWHERE. ONLY a group of weak, deranged, LOW-IQ Liberals with TDS (Trump Derangement Syndrome at RECORD LEVELS) would waste their time forging a birthday card — a BIRTHDAY CARD!!! — in a desperate attempt to stop your FAVORITE President (ME) from Making America Great AGAIN, AGAIN!!! They can’t beat me with NUMBERS (the Polls are INCREDIBLE), they can’t beat me with FACTS (because I’m ALWAYS right), so now they try with FAKE cards. Truly PATHETIC. Even Sleepy Joe never stooped this low (probably because he can’t even hold a pen). The FAKE NEWS Media — 100% in on it — refuses to report the TRUTH. They are TERRIFIED because the American People LOVE me, they LOVE my Birthdays, and they LOVE my SUCCESS. Nobody has had better birthdays than ME, not even George Washington (great guy, but small cake!). TOTAL WITCH HUNT!!! VERY SAD!!!

Do you think he’s still having an intern or social media manager write the tweets or did he offload that to ai?

[–] AZX3RIC@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago

I went from "this is fake" to "this might be real" to "this seems fake."

I hate all of this.

[–] HuskerNation@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 day ago

You know he's guilty, he's screaming

[–] danekrae@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago (1 children)

"If that's his signature, how do you explain this?!"

[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 day ago

1990s AI. or A1.
