Trump told Fox Business he didn’t know where the pictures he shared with his followers came from.

    “I’m afraid of AI!” says the former president who suggested, live, on camera, injecting bleach intravenously to cure a virus, and nuking a fucking hurricane.

    We won’t live long enough to be afraid of SkyNet if this felonious fucktart regains office.

      “A SOLID FLU VACCINE”: A SCIENTIST LOOKS BACK ON THE DAY TRUMP CAME UP WITH A CURE FOR THE CORONAVIRUS

      Edit to add a quote:

      Here’s this guy, the president, with zero medical training and a history of being — let’s face it — not the brightest bulb in the box, who, for some reason, thought it would be a great idea to give highly specialized medical professionals advice, and yet it worked like a charm.

        Before the Jan 6th Insurrection occurred, I actually sat down, gathered all the relevant electoral, polling, and covid data, and did the math to answer this question:

        What if the rampant hysteria from covid denial had not happened? What if counties and cities that went red had actually implemented and adopted the mean of covid policies that areas that went blue did, and had percapita death rates to go along with those?

        Answer: Trump might have actually won. Not the popular vote, but electorally.

        He likely literally killed his chances at re-election via promoting covid denialism, leading to a greatly oversized proportion of deaths amongst areas more likely to vote for him, that could have flipped some states red if that had not happened.

    Following his logic that might just be his way of asking money from those companies.

    He’s afraid of AI because he didn’t realize it wasn’t legitimate. He’s just realized it was fake and is totally doing the “wtf is this shit” thing we did back when they were doing the photos to signing 80’s songs…

        I think they meant singing - they might be referring to the “deepfake” tech that was taking old photos and making them seem like they were singing 80s songs.

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

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!
