This dude is throwing everything to try to pretend he ain't a fucking pedophile in Epstein's list.

They're trying to insinuate that the accusations on them are of the same legitimacy of those they've been throwing at everyone for decades.

If their claims are rebuked as baseless, they'll call the claims against them baseless as well. If the claims against them are said to be substantiated, they'll point to their claims and suggest the same. It's the "tails I win, heads you lose" of a political scheme.

Almost forgot about the Epstein case there for a moment, except I didn't.

Will an AI make a video of him being innocent in the Epstein case, or is the technology still not that good?

I'm sorry, Dave, I'm afraid I can't do that

Epstein’s best friend, convicted felon and adjudicated rapist Donald Trump, is a human trafficking child rapist.

The pedophile in chief is just spraying videos hoping something distracts people

[–] smeenz@lemmy.nz 55 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (3 children)

You mean the pedophile and convicted rapist, sexual assaulter , con man, incompetent businessman, fraudster, tax evader, and likely insurrectionist ?

[–] kbobabob@lemmy.dbzer0.com 29 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Terry Crews' character in Idiocracy was non-satirically a better President at this point.

Just FYI. We in Europe are watching what you guys are up to and being super judgemental. Get your shit together.

Keep an eye on your own countries, you're not immune to right-wing populism.

Do you know what I do when I go to bed? I sleep. Almost instantly. I don't lay there and stress and worry about what I did. I don't worry about how I'm percieved. I just sleep.

You can see by his actions that trump is a deeply troubled, deeply insecure, deeply stressed man. And I use the word "man" in the loosest of definitions.

Everything he's doing, from the CBS cancelations, to blocking the commanders stadium deal, to whatever this ai video bullshit is, it all screams of a man grasping at straws, desprate to change the topic.

Me? I have no desperation. What'ya guys wanna talk about?

Isn’t this against the no deepfakes law the cunt has been pushing

[–] Witchfire@lemmy.world 1 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

I thought they just passed a "no regulation on AI for x years" law as part of their Big Billionaire Bill

[–] Landless2029@lemmy.world 28 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Yes and nothing will happen from it. News outlets squak. The cult laughs. The "libs" get angry. The government does nothing because even if they did this is a presidental action and he has immunity.

I can't believe how fucked everything is. I'm over it. I just want to survive with my family.

Another low effort attempt to distract feom the fact that this guy is100% in the Epstein files. The AI slop mess is just so very on brand like the distasteful Trump Gaza nonsense

So much power in the tiny pathetic hands of such a sad small petty weak-minded man. America projects weakness.

[–] ef9357@lemmy.world 31 points 1 week ago

Trump, stop your nonsense and release the Epstein files!

[–] MiddleAgesModem@lemmy.world 31 points 1 week ago

Sorry Trump, you're still a pedophile.
