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 US politics and contain quality and original content. Social Media adjacent hosts like Substack are allowed, but ONLY if they tie back to a company/subsidiary. No personal or friend group blogs and no self-promotion. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and re-hosted 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 other users of being bots or paid actors.
  3. No memes, trolling, misinformation, or low-effort posts/comments (including reposts). If you see posts like this that anger you, do not engage. Report, block, and live a happier life than they do. Any slap-fight is subject to comment removals. Fights full of rule violations will result in temporary bans to cool off.
  4. No manipulating votes via bots or alt accounts; this will result in permanent bans. 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 an account ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be permanently banned.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules and use critical thinking when reading, posting, and commenting. Users that repeatedly have 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. The reason(s) behind moderator action(s) are publicly available through the Modlog.

That's all the rules!

It's his all night cocaine buddy, AI memes. It was the Department of Education calls it, A1.

He really doesn’t strike me as someone who has the capacity to guide AI picture models to get the sort of results he posts. This leads me to presume that there is some underpaid staff member, expected to work whenever Trump wants one of these, on-demand generating images for Trump to post.

What a life.

Oh, you haven't heard about Natalie Harp?

In January 2025, Trump named Harp as his executive assistant to the president. As his assistant, Harp has access to Trump's  account, and has reportedly been responsible for several controversial posts using his account. Author and  journalists and portray her as a loyal aide who is usually at the president's side. "The ever-present Natalie Harp was generally on a chair off to the side, her laptop open, head cocked, listening but never contributing unless ordered by Trump. She fulfilled, in a flash, any request, whether a 'Trump 2028' hat needed to be fetched from the merchandise room, a quick Google search, or producing the latest story from right-wing websites."[4]

She's the one that collects all this slop, and Trump posts it, or she posts it for him. She isn't just another staff member, she is truly devoted to him, and he seems to be devoted to her, too. Check her out, she very influential to him, in a very close personal way.

He and Natalie get naked, and post all this stuff together. He can't make his mushroom bloom any more, so this is better than sex for him.

I am once again begging people not to post a headline that starts with “Trump, 80,” that doesn’t end with. Well. You know.

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 6 points 1 month ago

"Trump, 80, finally reveals who Bubba is and what his dick tasted like."

Him going on Eternity Leave?

So there is proof that aliens are real, who is the guy in the grey?

[–] MagicShel@lemmy.zip 21 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (2 children)

I don't know, but based on Trump keeping him nude and in bondage I'm pretty sure he's under age, wherever he's from.

That's where they take the aliens after abducting them, not where they came from originally.

"You remind me of my daughter. Wanna fuck?"

[–] terranoid@lemmy.cafe 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

Nah, looks like this thing has too many body holes, and the belly button wouldn't be there.

By abductee reports those things can be smooth as barbie dolls, more like remote control biological androids/cyborgs.

Well, except they split them between the tall and short kind. These appear way too tall to fit the small android version. They don't say as much about the tall greys.

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 1 points 1 month ago

Sure, let's scientifically analyze the AI version of an imaginary character.

[–] Mirshe@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Oh that's just Valiant Thor's normal form.

[–] aesthelete@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

How's the paid early access to this trash treating folks?
