1. Only an idiot would believe the fake.

[AJT]

4. Who do you think the photo is aimed at?

[progressoid]

13. I'd say there are at least 63 million of them.

[AZ8theist]

19. Yup. REPUKE RETARDS. and...

I DON'T CARE if I offend anybody with the "tard" reference. It's high time we classify Repukes for the people who they are...

[JHB]

31. In other words, it'll be immediately believed by its intended audience

[ck4829]

49. Indeed

[dewsgirl]

2. I saw this earlier today. SMH😔

[SCantiGOP]

7. And the original fake

Has about a 10 inch realistic dildo sitting on the end table.

[dewsgirl]

25. Oh jeezus.😳🙄

These are the times we live in, unfortunately.😔

[dalton99a]

3. There is no low for them

[spanone]

5. well, you don't have to do any photoshopping to get a pic of don & jeff

[Judi Lynn]

23. For sure! Those two looked a little long in the tooth to seem so empty, childish, and pointless. n/t

[Alithea]

6. There should be a law against this

and a way to trace the origin of the doctored photo.

[wnylib]

18. I think there is. Doesnt libel apply?

But print publications pull this kind of crap all the time with celebrities. Celebs ignore it instead of suing since suits draw more attention to the BS.

[dewsgirl]

26. The scary thing is, technology is moving so quickly there

will soon have the ability to do this with video, and the average person will not be able to tell.
Putin blackmailed a journalist, with a crude version of this a couple years ago.

[wnylib]

34. So eventually, photos, recordings, and videos

will become useless because nobody will trust them no matter the source.

[dewsgirl]

35. It looks like we are headed in that direction.

[mahina]

8. Dirtbags.

Bogus bullshit.

Donate.

[DENVERPOPS]

9. Hey People

They (things) are gonna get REALLY UGLY until November 2020. This is nothing compared to the onslaught of shit I think they will dump on the American people the next 11 months. Segretti? had the perfect name for his doings during the election. He coined the expression "Rat Fucking" for what he was doing to the Democrats. Didn't he end up in prison for his antics? Of course the Republicans then weren't anything like the Trump lovers now..........

[OhNo-Really]

10. Stone/Manafort/Atwater - The Ratf***ers Still Ratf***ing

These 3 were partners, born evil, that helped Reagan Republican-win in the WH

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black,_Manafort,_Stone_and_Kelly

Wish Stone & Mannafort would be silenced for the 2020 election.

[StClone]

11. I thought it was real because

In a fake photo shop I thought the Wackadoddles would have shown Schiff with a ligature at the ready. You know 'cause he offed Epstein.

[mysteryowl]

12. It could have been the Russians that did it

I'm not defending repubs, but the Russians are out in full force.

[KelleyKramer]

14. There is no difference between Repubs and Russians

Republicans and Russians are on the same side fighting against the United States

[roamer65]

15. Truthspeaker!

Double plus good.

[sheshe2]

16. What an ugly thing for ugly people to do.

No matter, good people know better.

Love Adam, looks just like his dad.

Here is a picture,



The altered image, the original was part of his 2018 Christmas card.

[Kurt V.]

29. Adam's wife's name is Eve. i just found that out. Precious.

[certainot]

17. americans can get his back

there are 87 universities to protest and thanks to AI rw talk radio is very vulnerable

[ancianita]

24. I read this. Thank you for the link. Great suggestions for catching out their "invisible"

machinery.

The best reasons to fight them:

Liberal radio talkers have shown they can compete on an even playing field and even beat the main Republican talkers. That is why the Republican radio monopoly controls most of the loudest radio stations and works hard to limit direct competition by liberal talkers. Republican radio can’t handle the truth.

The argument that 95% of the people who would listen to talk radio prefer the hate and disinformation that the Republican radio monopoly is using to destroy American democracy is an insult to Americans.
​
With a 20-1 monopoly, expecting liberal talk radio to compete with conservative talk radio is like expecting the local 'mom and pop' to compete with WallMart.

[certainot]

33. thanks. once the ad industry realizes artificial intelligence makes stoprush x 100 easy

they will have to start applying actual market demand to talk radio advertising. rw stations in most places will lose advertisers when they're asked if they want to support trump and global warming denial. some stations will change programming, some will try to offer balance, some may offer liberal talk. the monopoly will fall apart. especially when those universities start to pull sports from those stations and start looking for apolitical alternatives.

[ancianita]

38. Let's hope. As an alum of FSU, when they've come calling for donations, I've given them hell about

their letting the Kochs and right wing radio in to spread austerity "issues," and so I've not given one dime.

OTOH, how do we know that AI doesn't already run at least some of their programming. Return of the Fairness Doctrine could clear some airspace, but when "the people's airwaves" was given over to corporate ownership, I doubt there will ever be a level playing field. The Big Six want to keep it that way.

In the 1980's, media corporations successfully lobbied that the national airwaves should no longer be the shared property of the citizens; and so airwaves and channels should be carved up, sold off to the highest bidder at frequency auctions. That part of the commons was sold off to corporate fictionhoods. The 1996 Telecom Act (Bill Clinton) swept away even minimal consumer and diversity protections given by the 1934 act that declared the airwaves a utility.

The Telecom Act has had a detrimental impact on voting.

[certainot]

39. telcom act as one of talk radio's great successes and linmbaugh used the same talking pts

on net neutrality- regulation meant higher prices, would allow big govt (liberals) control of conservative outlets, money is free speech, etc. that buzz dominates even many dem and blue areas of the country

not to mention talk radio finally giving republicans their only congressional majority in decades in 1994, for which limbaugh was given an honorary seat by the cons. i just heard another fool 'expert' analyst blaming/'crediting' gingrich for the increase in partisanship, something that caan be directly correlated with the creation of the talk radio monopoly and the continued stupidity of the 'left' and dems to ignore it

[ancianita]

43. Indeed. I saw it happen.

[wnylib]

20. Is it time to fight back?

Keeping it legal e.g. posting business and personal contact info and addresses for the top sleezebags every time they pull a sleezy act like this one. Does not matter if Moscow Mitch, Moo Moo Nunes, or Grand Wizard Miller is behind each action or not. They all support these things and do nothing to stop them. They need to be flooded with complaints every time. NOT threatened, but totally flooded and protested for being supportive of such tactics against their opponents.

Call, e-msil, and protest in person. "Mr. McConnell, do you support these tactics? If not, why don't you publicly condemn them? If you do support them, why are you such a sleezebag?" Spread the word on social media each time an action needs a response. Put the same info and questions to the sleezebags in open editorial letters in print newspapers and their online pages.

Hound them with thousands of shaming complaints.

Will it change them into being better people? Of course not. Will it flood their e-mail, phone lines, and work or home neighborhoods? I sure hope so.

[Freddie]

30. Yes

It’s time to fight just as dirty as they do. Sorry Michelle. And we have an endless supply of ammunition.

[wnylib]

37. But peacefully and creatively. If we allow any

kind of destruction, violence, or blatantly illegal actions in our name, we discredit ourselves. Destruction or violence will create violent, destructive retaliation 10 times worse than anything we do.

No matter how angry or outraged we feel, violence or destruction will lead to civil unrest that could easily escalate to civil war in the form of violent confrontstions in the streets between RWers and us, with armed police or military called up to "maintain order." They will not be impartial. Consider the ugliness of life today in Syria and whether our children, .neighbors, and friends should be subjected to that.

Instead, we need to wage a battle of images and values to turn people away from the thugs and scum. Discredit them. Expose them. Prosecute them. Flood their leaders with complaints. Organize large, PEACEFUL demonstrations with specific cause and focus.

[certainot]

40. destroy the RW talk radio monopoly. stoprush x 100 is easy

it's their most important advantage and most vulnerable. artificial intelligence recently made it very easy cheap and quick to digitize talk radio and that allows listing advertisers and associating them directly with the lies, racism, trump-love, and global warming denial, etc

when the ad industry realizes what's happening it will have to start asking advertisers if they really want to support rw talk. right now a lot of it is spread around so clients have little control unless they pay more. ad industry wants those loud stations and will force them to change programming.

maximise effort by protesting 87 universities that broadcast sports on 260 limbaugh stations. one or two unis beginning the process of looking for apolitical alts others will follow. that will get attention too.

[wnylib]

42. Agree that RW hate radio is an asset for them

that should be brought down.

Could not get anything from your link. What is/are 87 unis?

[ancianita]

44. Apparently it's an asset at universities, too. Copy/pasted from the link:

88 universities/colleges that help 260 Rush Limbaugh shows attack public education and teachers, while spreading global warming denial, racism, misogyny, and lies.
​
The number after the state is the number of Limbaugh radio stations in those states endorsed by the listed universities.
​
The $ figure after the state is the value of Republican propaganda those universities endorse in their states if a 1 hour infomercial or advertisement on a radio station cost $1000 x 15 hrs/day x 5 days = $75,000/WEEK. The names after the $ figure are the universities that broadcast Limbaugh shows.
​
Total 260 x $75,000 = $19,125,000/WEEK Republican messaging endorsed by these 88 universities.

[wnylib]

46. Thanks. I wasn't aware of the university

connection. These creeps are everywhere.

Pressuring their advertizers might work. Embarrassing them publicly as supporters of racism, misogyny, etc.

[ancianita]

47. Yep. Creeps are corporate profit parasites on public institutions and assets.

[ck4829]

50. Yes

[PatSeg]

21. Whoa, that's trashy

Nothing is too low for republicans.

[Judi Lynn]

22. How could these MAGAts forget it's their idol who loved to party with Epstein, anyway?

It makes them look so foolish, doesn't it? Desperate, even. How can they feel good about their photoshop masterpiece? It's so stupid.

[rampartc]

27. they believe this is "fake news," that trump ratted epstein out to palm beach police

even if true , their narrative conveniently neglects the decades of close association between the 2 perverts.

[duforsure]

28. More clear signs of how desperate they have become

Promoting putins propaganda, siding with putin over America's intel agencies, attacks on the FBI. Posting photo's they know are doctored, and shows these criminals are getting more scared, or this wouldn't have been done.

[oasis]

32. Only deplorable scum Trump cultists would stoop so low. nt

[Johnny2X2X]

36. They hope to obscure and confuse

One might ask why they won't leave the Epstein story alone, it reflects terribly on the President. There is literal film of Trump and Epstein groping young women together and real photos of Trump and Epstein partying with young girls together dozens of times. Trump and Epstein were very close for years. So they are overcompensating on this. They want to point the finger at Bill Clinton or make fake photos like this so it obscures Trump's decades long close friendship with Epstein.

Can you imagine if there were film of Bill Clinton and Jeff Epstein groping and grabbing girls at Clinton's private club in Florida? Bill Clinton would literally be sitting in prison right now, they'd have lost their minds. And yet, here we have Trump, on film manhandling and groping a woman who is 1/3 his age with Epstein at his side at his own private club and we hear nothing about it. Somehow the Right wants us to believe that manifestos from an airplane whose use was donated to charity is a bigger indictment of wrongdoing than wrongdoing literally caught on camera.

[gristy]

41. Identified as fake, that photo does its job very well.

Its job is to sow discord and distrust among Americans. Exhibit A is this OP's title. Exhibit B is this thread.

[ancianita]

45. Think. We could argue that we recognize divisive media without being divisive ourselves. Right?

Recognition is not to be confused with validation.

So no Exhibit B.

[ck4829]

48. It absolutely is disgusting

[badhair77]

51. This will be on my crazy cousin's FB page tomorrow.

She’s beyond an intervention. That page is a freak show.

[thewhollytoast]

52. do you ever sleep?
