This is what AI is for
politics
Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- 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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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!

That fat fuck can't swim, come on. Lol.
Trump.... just rebuild! I'll help you call my guy who does buildings for me. Problem solved!
yea. no dip
I find it funny how MAGAts spend all this effort creating photos of Trump looking and acting how they envision him in their heads - because he's never going to do or be any of them.
- Naked with chiseled abs? Nope
- Interacting with his followers? Nope
- Wading through the floodwaters? Nope
- Slender? Nope
- Cradling or caring for children? Nope. Well, not released yet anyway
- Leading a charge into battle? Nope
You can tell it's AI because it tried to make his hands normal sized.
Yeah, no shit.
Love how all of the sudden, Facebook is now the expert at identifying AI pictures, despite constantly falling for them almost every time.
I don’t think Trump has ever worn jeans.
On the other hand, wearing jeans in water is just the sort of stupid thing he might do, like looking at the sun during an eclipse.
You know what is a real photo? This one.
If it were real, that'd be an incredibly dangerous thing to do--even with a life preserver vest--and a physically taxing one, as well. Neither of which Trump would be doing.
I mean, drowning is kind of the least of your worries in those situations.
NEVER walk through even suburban flood waters unless it is life or death. Because you know those things called "sewers"? Yeah, they are under there. And if the water has reached the point where it is even a foot off the ground? Then those sewers are entirely(-ish) full and that "water" contains significant amounts of poo, medical waste, chemicals, and so forth. Let alone corpses of animals... and people.
So that is basically liquid hepatitis and Erastil knows what else.
It is also why you NEVER buy a car that has been in a flood area and houses really should be basically demolished at that point (but aren't because Capitalism).
Where do you live where people flush corpses?
A sealed casket is buoyant. If a cemetery is flooded, caskets, especially of the recently deceased with disturbed soil, are known to rise through the soil and then dump their contents (bodies) into the floodwaters.
It’s not about flushing them but I would imagine that graveyards that are below sea level have the bodies in mausoleums and many of those you can walk into so it would not surprise me that places near the ocean might have a rotted corpse.
Places that flood bad enough that people and animals die in them?
- You would be amazed what people flush down their toilets
- You do realize there are other people in that flooded area too, right? Those "missing" folk? Hopefully all of them show up at a Waffle House two counties over. The reality is... many of them are still there in that horrific soup.
If a good percentage of Americans can fall for Turnip
... a good percentage of them will fall for this image.
It wouldn't surprise me if some of them still thought that the mission accomplished press release was a big win for W.
I mean what would even be the purpose of intentionally wading through water? Don't they usually do fly overs to view the aftermath?
Even if this was true, it would just be evidence that he did a stupid PR stunt for votes...
Gotta downvote this link to a horrible site. So many ads and pop-ups, and I never saw the picture in question
Haha they think he would be caught dead wearing jeans. Jeans are poor people's clothes.
It’s amazing how many glitches people are able to spot. I don’t really have an eye for that level of detail but usually just get a vague unnaturallness
At this point they're long-standing bugs.
There's nothing wrong with those hands. There's ~15-18 fingers between the two of them and the joints are totally in the right place.
Yeah why are the hands such a dead giveaway. If AI fixes that it will be so much harder to prove. Now there is always something that just seems wrong with the pics but the hands are so much easier to quantify.
Oh gosh I looked at the hand and think I lost 2d4 sanity points.
It’s like an eldritch horror.
And the other hand is giant. Trump is well known for his giant manly hands

His hand is a render glitch as per the norm.
Thanks
You don't use ad-blockers?
I use Android (Samsung) and I've never been able to find one that works. Sometimes I use Chrome, but many apps, like Connect for Lemmy have a builtin web viewer that I think is using the native web browser (so I need something that covers both). I would appreciate any suggestions.
Firefox with ublock origin (like the others said) works and for other "entertainment" apps there are apps you can use outside of the Google play store to get around ads
I'm on a Galaxy S-10e. Firefox + ublock origin.
Firefox+ublock origin
Generally “Reader Mode” is sufficient and I have my browser set to that by default. However sometimes sites are not functional in reader mode and those are usually the same ones that are most toxic.
It also drives home the point of how poor the internet is with accessibility. Imagine having to rely on reader mode to get through the toxic sludge that makes up most of the internet, but yet we have to rely on every day
Edit: yes, I was also using an adblocker but iPhone adblockers are limited and in this case useless
