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!

The images. Trump is pathetic.

And as we all know... Swifties sure love commenting on Truth Social.

🙄

This dude is just so, so desperate. Future historians will have to go through all this garbage.

Hey, I was in a hipster coffee shop in Brooklyn the other day and everyone was talking about how much the swifties were abandoning TikTok and Instagram for Truth Social in droves

This is one of the most pathetic things I have ever seen. I still cannot believe a massive cult of dimwits worships this loser.

This is exactly what bullshit like Grok is here for. Stupid easy to make, stupid easy to spread. Why try any harder when your target is stupid people ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Twitter's image generator

I'm surprised I haven't seen any "trump for Harris" generated images yet in this thread. Maybe with a news article about Trump finding Trump's VP pick weird and how he can't stand Trump rambling about Trump, low energy, something something.

I saw a cursed image yesterday. Kamala heavily pregnant, with Don looking down hand on belly, like you do when trying to feel the baby kicking.

It takes a certain type of weird to like AI cringe.

I'm surprised I haven't seen any "trump for Harris" generated images yet in this thread.

It'd mean having to give money to Musk

The uncle Sam image is clearly AI, but the pictures with people in "Swifties for Trump" shirts look real. But there is a "satire" tag on one of them...

Either he believes the images are real, or he knows they are fake and is trying to meme a little. Either way he is a moron. If this forces Taylor's hand to either disavow Trump or just straight endorse Harris, he's cooked.

The blonde girl with a ponytail in the top right and bottom right look like real photos from a rally. The other photos of groups of people with the “Swifties for Trump” shirts all have the plastic sheen and soft background that’s indicative of AI. If you start zooming in there are little oddities here and there that also make them look generated.

So I’ll buy there is one girl out there with her own shirt who got photographed twice at the same event, but I don’t believe any of these other photos for a second.
