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.

An ICE pastor is the craziest part of this story... has the cunt ever read his supposedly favourite book?
Why do they always depict a "far left agitator" as a black person? 🧐
(I mean you all know the answer... its racism)
It's almost like they don't understand how and why everyone likes memes. Memes are like a mycelium. Okay make up your own metaphor. Memes are like my gut flora.
Memes are not allowed to be poisonous disinformation.
Bondi: "Listen loud and clear: WE DO NOT TOLERATE ATTACKS ON (our) PLACES OF WORSHIP.”
As an American, watching the highest office in this country be turned into an absolute joke over the decades has been demoralizing, to say the least. There's nothing to be proud of. I feel like, thanks to social media, we got to see the real people, and then it distilled people down to their worst parts. I despise seeing the leaders of the nation be so petty, so idiotic, so childish.
I mean, throw this on the pile of reasons the current administration isn't worthy. The felonies, the child raping, the blatant attempts to start wars, the blatant disregard of the Constitution, and just misinformation galore. They edited a photo... how small of a person do you have to be to think "I'm part of the government, I have access to the White House official channel, I'm going to be very transparent about what I think of the current situation and use AI to mock and try to spread misinformation." I hope people link back to these things (all of these things, not just this photo) every single time anyone in the current administration speaks. When ever any company supports them. When ever any person supports them. Like NEVER let it go. Just flood them every single time. They say Merry Christmas, bring up the Epstien files, the rape, the photo editing, the felonies, the... everything. Just non-fucking-stop.
It's just so god damn fucking embarrassing to be an American right now. And I know by the end of the year, I'll be wishing to get back to how it is now, I'll look back fondly on how it was "only" so bad at the start of 2026.
Sorry for the rant, I'm just, so god damn tired of every single day Dimentia Don, doing yet again, another dumbass thing.
I wonder how many judges will have the courage to sanction the government for this conduct... If POTUS lies or falsifies documents, throw the charges out already. We can't have a tainted jury.
And that won't stop Mr. Orange. But at least it will give some relief to people who are harassed by him.
The judicial system is stacked with Trump supporters.
Dystopian fiction: The regime alters photos to make people look happy and smiling, to hide their cruelty.
Dystopian reality: The regime alters photos to make people look sad and pained, to brag about their cruelty.
Nothing like having a "presidency" done by tweets and memes.
FFS.
I was looking for this before I said basically the same thing.
That's not a meme, that's Propaganda.
It’s also libel made with actual malice.
right? it is literally the definition of libel...
Gonna be a really expensive lawsuit. That is paid out by all of us taxpayers.
You can sue Donald Trump without suing the US Government. Right now several lawmakers are preparing a lawsuit against Pam Bondi over the Epstein Files.
If we flip the house and senate I'm gonna start sending drafts to representatives for a law that makes the Trump estate and all future president's estates liable for all the avoidable and frivolous lawsuits on the basis of which they did not protect the human beings who live in this nation nor represent the system of laws which govern them, rather that they were personal and need to be paid for personally by the officials responsible for giving the orders resulting in lawsuit.

Its a lie. They lie so often that they think its truth.

Ignoring the fakery, I don't see how the alteration makes her less sympathetic. I would also be distressed if being frog-marched by facists for the crime of being born autistic.
All this propaganda does, is cement my decision to fight. The Trump Regime and Dogey Americans, are enemies of any decent human being, and must be destroyed.
It’s not meant for you. They actually don’t care how it makes you feel. It’s for their racist, fascist loving voters. They love this.
They think they are portraying the subject as 'weak'. It's for their racist base to feel like 'right on, we made a weak black leftist woman cry, like they all deserve''.
It was never about making her less sympathetic, but a celebration of hurting the 'correct' people to get hurt.
It's not JUST for thier base.
For anyone pondering joining such actions, these would be leaders.
If you're thinking of joining, and the leaders look "weak", it might not inspire much faith. You might decide to hold back.
The truth is, she looked calm and collected, confident in her decisions and actions. She looks like a leader. She looks like someone worth following. That type of imagery is dangerous if you're trying to suppress action.
So, in short, it's an attempt at active suppression, not just a "treat" for thier own. It's the modern equivalent of going on about how short Napoleon is. It's an attempt to diminish those they're afraid of to try and keep others from following them.

Cool, and so will the resistance you shitstains
Cut out the lying tongues of the propagandists!
Me, the other day: "They've finally done it. They've finally hit rock botto...wait, nope, I was wrong."
Me, yesterday: "They've finally done it. They've finally hit rock botto...wait, nope, I was wrong."
Me, this morning: "They've finally done it. They've finally hit rock botto...wait, nope, I was wrong."
Me, tomorrow: "They've finally done it. They've finally hit rock botto...wait, nope, I was wrong."
Etc, etc, and fucking, etc.
Trump has been doing that every day since 2016. Every day he says the stupidest thing I've ever heard, and every next day he keeps trumping [bazinga] himself.

Defamation.
Also, nice racist bias on that model (making her fatter).

The altering of a photo is meant to distract you from the fact that they are arresting ordinary citizens who don't have the financial means to legally protect themselves. It may seem like an irrelevant distinction based on everything else they do but this is an escalation.
I know history is full of nasty little dictators and their lackeys but have any of them ever been this fucking childish?

This is actually really scary. They’re modifying photos to manipulate and control people.
I mean, they're also abducting children and murdering dissenters to control people...
The little things are more insidious.
