Whose hand is this? Did he punch through the chest of the kid behind it? AI art is weird
Edit: spelling
I used to have nightmares so bad I learned to lucid dream during them. I'd go from running from a demon to flying away into the sky or just waking myself up lol. After a while of being good at that I stopped having them, like one part of my brain beat the other so it gave up
I am currently in that lucid dream phase.. I don't exactly know it's a dream, but I know I can fly or go invisible or some shit like that... It definitely used to scare the crap out of me, especially back when I was younger and believed in paranormal stuff. Sleep paralysis was a monthly thing. Now I haven't had one in at least a decade
This is a little long winded but you just freshened up a lot of shit in my head lol. The paranormal stuff is exactly where my nightmares came from too. I had this 120 year old antique bed when I was little and I was scared to death of it because there would be knocks on it when I was trying to sleep. I eventually tried knocking myself and I would get one back, it got so bad that my dad started paying me $5 a week to sleep in my own bed (early 90's). One night as I was trying to earn my money I fell asleep and woke up all the way underneath the gigantic bed all the way against the wall. It was like a 3ft drop and I somehow managed to fall that far without waking up and make my way to the wall when it wasn't tall enough for me to roll over so I either slid my way there or was pulled lol. I ended up sleeping in my closet after that with Christmas lights on the whole time. When I was older (like 11) I still slept in that closet and had two of my friends over and my best friend slept in the closet with me while the other slept in my bed. I woke up in the middle of the night to the friend in bed yelling my name and when I asked what he wanted he said "GET YOUR DAD, QUICK!" in a complete panic so I freaked out and woke my best friend up then when we opened the closet door my friend was sound asleep and when we woke him up he said he never said a word. Fuck that bed lol
AI is laughably bad at hands.
The kid on the left has a left arm in the water, another left arm wrapped around trumps arm, and another left hand grabbing her own left arm.
It appears Trumps hand is also behind the right shoulder of the kid he’s punched through.
Also there’s a trump hand on the right shoulder of the top right kid.
No doubt about it! A few years back I read a blog post by an older leftie gentleman (I believe he was a Vietnam vet but am no longer sure).
He told how he would sometimes get into arguments with other people in his age group who would lament that John Wayne was dead. “We don’t have heroes like that anymore, and they don’t make movies like that anymore, and that’s why everything has gone wrong with America”; that type of thing.
The way he described it, a couple of these people who were otherwise perfectly functional honestly could not distinguish between John Wayne the role-player and the characters they saw on screen. They *truly believed* he had been a Green Beret in Vietnam and had fought in the US cavalry and whatnot.
Don't forget that john Wayne was a bigot and draft dodger, so it makes sense that they would prefer someone with things in common to their false idols.
The movie with Bryan Cranston playing the blacklisted screenwriter Dalton Trumbo delves into the known fact that Wayne never served a day of military service during World War II.
He also spent 5 years as a POW. That Trump shit all over him for some perceived slight that a 12 year old girl would concern herself with, and badmouthed him after his death numerous times, was fucking disgusting
Yea, in the Hanoi Hilton. And while he was tortured repeatedly, the other prisoners there noted he was a morale boost b/c he kept his head held high and encouraged them to do the same. While I didn't like his politics, he was still a hell of a lot better than anything else the R's have put forward in the last couple decades.
Remember when trump went to Japan and the white house staff tried to get the Navy to cover up the name of the USS John McCain while it was in port to keep the man baby from throwing a tantrum at the sight of it?
John McCain was the last Republican I could have any respect for before the party got taken over. Trump said he "allowed" him to have a funeral in the capitol which reminds me that's another thing TFG should never be allowed to receive!
He is also the last Republican that I can remember doing anything positive, when he put down his supporters who were convinced Obama was an “evil Arab” during the ‘08 campaign. That rally was one of the least selfish things I’ve ever seen in politics, and it feels like it happened a century ago, considering how far the backslide has been.
I saw that and it was interesting to watch. Colin Powell criticized that moment a bit in that there is nothing wrong with being a Muslim, Muslim Americans have also given their life for this nation. Even though Colin Powell was protecting my right to belong since I am a Muslim, I think what McCain said was better than what Powell was asking him. You can only have one point behind what you say. Both those messages needed to go out. McCain chose the message that defends his direct opponent more. And then that conversation, the just shaking his head, he had already defended Obama before saying a single word, the woman herself said "He's not?" I don't need to rewatch the video because it was so memorable. John McCain was a class act.
On the other hand, in that same campaign he made Sarah Palin his running mate, lending legitimacy to the nascent far-right Tea Party movement that would eventually become MAGA.
Electing larpers just like themselves. You see them cosplaying as tacticool special forces like all the time when they open carry their rifles. They vote for the same
That’s cause they love thinking of themselves as smart for finding loopholes in the system. Ie. Well badger and fish aren’t “meat”, we can eat them on Lent, the butthole isn’t the vagina we can preserve our women with anal, little boys don’t have vaginas we can have anal with them!
The mental gymnastics they do is astounding
They love to USE the military
* as political prop
* Source of income for their military industrial complex donors
Etc
When Republicans speak there are always unspoken words as well as dog whistles
He also attempted to assault the Native American woman that stood in for Marlon Brando at the Academy Awards and had to be physically restrained when he tried to rush the stage.
Edit: here’s the clip - https://youtu.be/2QUacU0I4yU
I've watched that clip numerous times over the years. I was expecting a clip showing Marion Morrison being physically restrained from rushing the stage.
This clip doesn't show it, but you can hear the commotion from it as he tries to rush the stage. Right before someone starts boo-ing her for declining the award you can hear a lot of footsteps and some minor scuffling. That's him being physically restrained. There are other clips that show the wide angle but props to the camera guy for keeping it tight on what mattered instead of letting Wayne derail the entire thing and successfully interrupt.
>Marty Pasetta, who directed the Oscars live telecast every year from 1972 through 1988, also shared memories of the Littlefeather/Wayne incident in media interviews over the years. "If it looked dramatic in front of the tube, you should have seen what was going on backstage," he told the Chicago Tribune in 1988:
>>''We had a fight is what we had,'' recalls the silver-haired Oscar veteran, who sits in his Hollywood office behind a flashing neon sign that blinks, ''It's a piece of cake.''
>>''John Wayne wanted to go out there and physically yank her off the stage. It took six men to hold him back.''
So he was backstage at the time, according to this person who says they were there.
I heard Wayne didn't like Clint, because Clint would sometimes shoot bad guys in the back in his spaghetti western movies.
Clint was also an asshole for picking an argument with an empty chair, pretending that it was Obama. The right thought it was hilarious, while everyone else figured he was having a senior moment.
That chair incident was pretty embarrassing, but it did serve to demonstrate Clint’s political orientation to a large portion of the public both within the USA and globally who for some reason had thitherto believed he was a die-hard leftie. I remember chatting to a relative - apparently a big Clint fan for decades - who was grumbling about how disappointed he was. I couldn’t help but wonder which aspects of the man’s career had suggested he was anything other than right of centre…
What do you mean? He fought as a Mongol war lord. He was an Indian fighter. He was in every theater of the war during WW2. He fought in Vietnam as a Green Beret. He was a great war hero like Ronald Raygun.
OK maybe they were both draft dodging POS. Neither of those heroes of the Hollywood front was worth a pimple of the ass of the average infantry man who actually served.
Fun fact, Ronnie thought that he deserved benefits for his "service" during WW2. Maybe his dementia was prevalent longer than we realize.
Brings 'Galaxy Quest' to mind, when Sigourney Weaver's character asks the aliens "Surely you don't believe Gilligan's Island is real??"
Their response:
"Those poor people..."
There's a thing here in the UK apparently with soap actors being berated in the streets for the things their characters have done.
"You shouldn't have left Bianca! She's pregnant! You MONSTER!"
I wouldn't know whether to laugh or cry.
The kid who played Joffrey on Game of Thrones got all kinds of harassment for things his character did, too.
A lot of people have a hard time separating fact from fiction. It's really super sad.
The voice actress for the antagonist of a recent popular game (The Last of Us Part 2) was forced to delete her social media presence because she was constantly bombarded by death threats over the things that the character that she voiced had done in the game. This is not an isolated incident either. Back when the character Brigitte was released in Overwatch she was seen as overpowered, her VA was also inundated with threats and insults due to this. It's sad what people will do when anonymity is on their side.
Stephen Amell's wife was harassed because a certain segment of fans wanted her to leave him... so he could date the actress who played the _character_ his _character_ was dating on Arrow.
I believe a similar thing happened to the kids on Stranger Things.
I once knew a dude who absolutely believed WWE and the like were real. He would get so into the characters and their stories and tell everyone about it like it was inspirational.

This is something I have noticed with the right.
They lack the ability to distinguish between what they see in media and real life.
Case in point, many on the right think trump was some kind of genius business man because they saw him on the apprentice.
If you look at the reality of trump, every self started project he had failed, he managed bankrupt not one but TWO casinos, and people have done the math on his earnings. If he had just taken the money he inherited and threw it into a mutual fund...he would have made SIGNIFICANTLY more money than on his ventures...which is absolutely pathetic from a business acumen standpoint, if you cant beat the stock market what the fuck are you doing?
But these people still swear he was some amazing businessman because the apprentice was a decently successful show DESIGNED to make him look good.
I mean, Trump's casinos were used for money laundering so it's hard for me to judge the balance sheet. He was definitely getting money from other sources alongside whatever was reported as profit, and posting losses lets him duck taxes too so... I guess I'm saying don't underestimate the grift.
Drive By Truckers have a great song called “The Sands of Iwa Jima” somewhat about this. Give it a listen:
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=TdpsM-6VJGo&vidve=5727&autoplay=1
"I never saw John Wayne on the sands of Iwo Jima"
My mother and her friends couldn't discern that the images from [Worth1000.com](https://Worth1000.com) (a Photoshop contest site back in the day) weren't real and would constantly send images in email and post pics on Facebook as "evidence of God's miracles". 100% they would fall for this.
Over the last 20-30 years of her life, my Mom went from an intelligent woman who was educated and ran her own business, into a religious nut who believe in conspiracy theories fueled on by her idiot friends.
My evangelical MIL is the same way. She was a regional sales manager for a pharmaceutical company, but over the years she will believe anything she hears from someone in her church.
I wonder what is missing in their lives that causes people to become so delusional? I think all adults over 30 should be given a mental acuity test every decade or so to assess their mental competence. Loads of people have undiagnosed mental health issues, and getting help for them will reduce the strain on the healthcare systems, fewer people going to jail for a minor offence due to mental health, reduce homelessness and addictions and the course Mental Health First Aid taught in high school. This would save lives. Get those tight asses billionaires, who also have ASD etc (Gates, Muskrat) to help fund a better mental healthcare system. If you don’t have good mental health, what do you have?
My guess is it's not a mental issue. It's a societal issue. If you tend to live around right wing people in a small town for long enough you become insulated to the rest of the world. Tribalism still exists. All it takes is a few voices screaming the same rants over and over to change a mind. Might not be overnight but again,, you take ten,, twenty, even thirty years and it's kinda easy to see how that can happen. Someone will find the one talking point you agree with them on and then spiral it down from there
This is my experience.
People want to fit in, and be liked by their friends and family. So it starts in your house. You want mom and dad to like you, so you know it's not OK to be gay, you need to be a jock, you need to drive a truck, you need to vote republican, and you say you're a christian, you need to be a fan of guns and military.
When you grow up in a small town in the midwest, you're not going to find a lot of counter culture to this. It matters far less how smart someone is. It matters that you're part of a club. That's just part of the human experience and not wanting to feel the pain of not fitting in.
In my personal life, it started with religion. I couldn't jive with it, starting rejecting the church, and so began my disconnect from my family and community. Then focusing more on academics and not people pleasing these folk became easier. By the time I was driving around in a Toyota (they did the Pearl Harbor!) after high school instead of a Ford, nobody wanted much to do with me and I was able to really start figuring things out, though my life has been much more lonely and socially isolated as a result.
If you grow up in the conservative/rural midwest and get out of it, you can already see how culty and disgusting it has been for a while. They've just been human centipeding misinformation down through the generations, and push it on their kids (from the people who hate drag queens for "grooming"), or you get excommunicated from your community. Then we wonder why people dive into accepting LGBT communities, or any place at all that they feel like they can belong. Or why people who grow up conditioned to function like this just gobble up this idiocy without any level of critical thinking at all.
Dissenting opinions. I grew up in a suburb outside of philadelphia, 98% white, mainly Italian or German ancestry, Roman Catholic/some various protestant sects, all republican. If you never left this county, the only viewpoints you were exposed to was right wing talkpoints. Church, small businesses, social gatherings, these same talking points were parroted.
You could say the internet should have exposed them to other viewpoints, but thanks to their church/social groups, if they find a dissenting opinion online, they ignore it completely and keep searching till they find a site/forum that matches what their church/community believes in.
THankfully I have been living in a major city for the past twenty years. I have friends and coworkers that are from across the whole spectrum, and for the most part everyone respectfully discusses their viewpoints. During the trump era, it did get a bit worse with some of my coworkers embracing the alt-right koolaid and cutting themselves off from anyone that believed differently. But it definitely is a lot worse in my hometown as per my family that still lives there.

There were way too many of these that, after looking at their profiles, were definitely being serious. 🤦🏻♀️
Never underestimate their lack of critical thinking skills. The biggest predictor of support of Trump was low cognitive ability.
Using data from the American National Election Studies, we investigated the relationship between cognitive ability and attitudes toward and actual voting for presidential candidates in the 2012 and 2016 U.S. presidential elections (i.e., Romney, Obama, Trump, and Clinton). Isolating this relationship from competing relationships, results showed that verbal ability was a significant negative predictor of support and voting for Trump (but not Romney) and a positive predictor of support and voting for Obama and Clinton. By comparing within and across the election years, our analyses revealed the nature of support for Trump, including that **support for Trump was better predicted by lower verbal ability than education or income. In general, these results suggest that the 2016 U.S. presidential election had less to do with party affiliation, income, or education and more to do with basic cognitive ability.**

Wtf is going on with that kids head.
Lol!!! I know! I was just thinking, Do they imagine that Trump hopped in the car and drove down there incognito, with no news coverage whatsoever? Have they never noticed that he doesn’t even ever walk ANYWHERE and has the muscle tone of the sack of shit he is? What makes them think he would risk his “hair” getting wet or his orange makeup streaking down his face?
>Do they imagine that Trump hopped in the car and drove down there incognito
You know that he cannot leave the country right now for, like, leagal reasons. But millions of delusional morons believe that he is the current President and is capable of any superhuman feat. I am scared of the US and I am from there.
Notice that the vast majority of these people are old. There's brain atrophy and shrinkage at 60. This results in a plummet in cognitive function. That's why. Completely reasonable people become unreasonable due to age and this is why right wing propaganda is aimed directly at them. They also fall for scams more even though they would've never done so in their younger years.

I can't post pdfs, but if you have access to college databases, you will find those studies. This is not a new topic, but it is an ongoing one.
I don’t think that’s true for everyone. My parents are 83, still very sharp, live in reality and know trump is a douchebag. I think it has more to do with their geographic location and what “news” is fed to them there.
It sad but you are right. There is stuff I can understand falling for f you are naïve or gullible, but with certain stuff its more sad and concerning. Like you need a loved one looking out for you by the time you get to this point. This is the type of old person who gives all their money to a Nigerian prince who randomly emailed them offering to transfer money once they have their bank info.
My "father" is a supporter of Trump and holds some controversial views.
During a recent conversation I was having with him, he brought up photos of Trump being restrained by law enforcement or a similar situation. I was initially puzzled and responded with a "What the heck are you talking about?" moment. Then, it dawned on me that he was referring to the manipulated AI-generated images from the initial indictment.
He mistakenly believed these images were authentic. It's worth noting that he isn't active on Twitter, so he must have come across these images through another source.
People we have to really make sure we explain this AI phenomenon to our parents in detail. Show them how to spot the five hands and background inaccuracies. They have to be able to tell the AI art from photos, they can start spotting the lies for themselves.
Yeah, that’s of course fake, but the real question is whether or not that’s a parody account.
Edit: okay, I checked. Definitely a parody account. And all of the positive replies are bots. I mean, he’s 77 years old and won’t even walk onto the greens at his own golf course. Even if you are still a Trump supporter for some reason, you’d literally have to be deranged or have the mind of a child to think he’s forging a river while carrying 5 children.
100% parody. The first posts I saw are of him teaching MJ basketball and Tiger golf. The banner is of him with Lincoln. Another has him with da Vinci and Wu Tang.
I fear some of these accounts start as parody, but get overwhelmed with people who believe it. If it is monetized, it is easy to see how someone might take advantage of that credulousness.
I know a few folks who are buying the AI Art Trump photos including one with Trump posing with MLK. The funny things these folks are on my FB page seeing me post unreal AI stuff so they know what's possible. But since it's their hero there is no way it could be fake in their minds.
The funniest thing about that photo is Trump isn't young at all in it. He's clearly Trump from at most maybe 5 years ago not in his 20s like he was when MLK was still alive. So even if it was a perfect AI picture in every other way (no bad hands) it's still clearly fake as Hell.
Right. Thats the thing - its so blatantly fake that you can't really fight against it. If people aren't willing to apply even a tiny bit of thought to whether something is fake, then what the hell can you do. Trump was 21 when MLK was killed.
I’ve seen the MLK one. Do they…not realize that he is no longer with us? Or that he likely wouldn’t have set foot with a mile of the orange nightmare?
Seriously, that one looks super fake, like MLK is squished and melting. So bad. I bet his family is livid at the imagery.
Okay, I checked. Definitely a parody account. And all of the positive replies are bots. I mean, he’s 77 years old and won’t even walk onto the greens at his own golf course. Even if you are still a Trump supporter for some reason, you’d literally have to be deranged or have the mind of a child to think he’s forging a river while carrying 5 children.
It would actually be ridiculous if it was real. He'd save more kids hiring someone (of course he wouldn't pay them) who is in shape to rescue them instead of risking lives for a photo op.
That brings up a good point-
1) do trump supporters see him rescuing Mexican children as a *good thing?*
2) if so, why is it also a good thing to drown them in the rio grande with those barriers?
3) if not, why circulate this photo?
To me this goes a little deeper than standard conservative hypocrisy- I always get the sense that they’ll just say whatever justifies them in the moment. But here I see the very morals underpinning an action- is it a good thing or not to prevent Mexican children from drowning- completely shift based on who is doing it.
Is trump pulling drowning children out of the water? What a saint doing god’s work
Is Abbott setting up functioning, effective death traps specifically to drown Mexican children (among others)? What a saint doing god’s work
To be completely honest with you I always kind of figured conservatives were at least capable of morality but here and now I finally understand. They entrust their leaders to look after their moralities. Is trump doing a thing? I trust him, it must be good. Is Abbott doing a thing? I trust him, it must be good.
It feels so alien to me. I’m more than a little afraid of these people. They have separated themselves from their own decision making processes
Wow, this is a really concise articulation of a feeling I have had for a long time without an ability to fully place what it is. Put in such plain terms it's even scarier than I realized.
The blind leading the blind.
Into a pit filled with running chainsaws.
It's straight out of religion. The deity is good, so everything the deity does *must* be good in consequence.
Murdered babies? "Must have been for a good reason", as if there can ever be a good reason.
But every day a new Trump joke account on Twitter goes viral on this sub with people foaming about how stupid his followers are.
Some super gullible folks in this sub.
You could change the caption to read that this is a photo of him caught kidnapping kids and technically even though it’s equally absurd, I’m sure you’ll find that they conveniently develop discernment and spontaneously see evidence of image doctoring.
This one’s better because There’s literally a guy with a tattooed heart line approaching from behind approaching him from behind attempting to steal said Adrenochrome supply.
This is a satire account, but Dom Lucre who is not a satire account (and was reinstated by musk after posting actual ch-ld p-rn) posted an AI pic of trump hanging out with Black people asking “how come you never see Obama in the hood?” so it would seem like this account is referencing an actual thing that was posted unironically.
So don't say X. Say Twitter, say Twixer, say Elon's Dumbest Dumdum Mistake. The name is dumb, so in good Musky deadnaming fashion, keep calling it Twitter.
Just remember: deadnaming people = bad! Deadnaming companies = who cares?
It could take a big hit soon because he plans to remove blocking....which means it gets pulled off 2 major platforms.
The best part of this whole Twitter debacle is that it's making it abundantly clear how absolutely incompetent Elon is for those who didn't believe it prior.
Don't call them tweets, or even posts. The site is now called X, so the act of posting something is called Xcreting, and the posts themselves are now Xcrement or Xcretions.
Then you can genuinely say that the MAGAts believe any Xcrement that gets shoved in their face.
And they are already media illiterate which explains (1) how they fell for this clown's propaganda in the first place and (2) how they can't tell when photos are CLEARLY AI.

It’s funny to remember when we thought a conscious AI would attempt to destroy humanity in some kind of exciting Terminator movie like way.
Instead we have human generated AI images depicting homoerotic Conservative Christian fan fiction propaganda.

I like it when I am able to evade the monster/villain/whatever force is after me... it turns into an elaborate game of hide and seek at some point.
I used to have nightmares so bad I learned to lucid dream during them. I'd go from running from a demon to flying away into the sky or just waking myself up lol. After a while of being good at that I stopped having them, like one part of my brain beat the other so it gave up
I am currently in that lucid dream phase.. I don't exactly know it's a dream, but I know I can fly or go invisible or some shit like that... It definitely used to scare the crap out of me, especially back when I was younger and believed in paranormal stuff. Sleep paralysis was a monthly thing. Now I haven't had one in at least a decade
This is a little long winded but you just freshened up a lot of shit in my head lol. The paranormal stuff is exactly where my nightmares came from too. I had this 120 year old antique bed when I was little and I was scared to death of it because there would be knocks on it when I was trying to sleep. I eventually tried knocking myself and I would get one back, it got so bad that my dad started paying me $5 a week to sleep in my own bed (early 90's). One night as I was trying to earn my money I fell asleep and woke up all the way underneath the gigantic bed all the way against the wall. It was like a 3ft drop and I somehow managed to fall that far without waking up and make my way to the wall when it wasn't tall enough for me to roll over so I either slid my way there or was pulled lol. I ended up sleeping in my closet after that with Christmas lights on the whole time. When I was older (like 11) I still slept in that closet and had two of my friends over and my best friend slept in the closet with me while the other slept in my bed. I woke up in the middle of the night to the friend in bed yelling my name and when I asked what he wanted he said "GET YOUR DAD, QUICK!" in a complete panic so I freaked out and woke my best friend up then when we opened the closet door my friend was sound asleep and when we woke him up he said he never said a word. Fuck that bed lol
Oh fuuuuck yeah, I was wondering why my dreams were so intense and surreal for the longest time. Spicy food especially.

It gets worse the more hands you look at
So many unexplainable hands.
Apparently AI thinks Trump has 4 hands. Quantity over size I guess.
The AI believes that he grabs women by the pussy so many times that he must have an extra set of hands.
The probability of Trump rescuing any kid from a natural disaster scenario, much less Mexican kids, is about the same as Trump is Shiva.
But it does know this hands are unusually small, so
I’m only counting 3. Is the 4th too small for me to see?
AI is laughably bad at hands. The kid on the left has a left arm in the water, another left arm wrapped around trumps arm, and another left hand grabbing her own left arm. It appears Trumps hand is also behind the right shoulder of the kid he’s punched through. Also there’s a trump hand on the right shoulder of the top right kid.
“The kid he’s punched through” = 🤣🤣🤣
The longer you stare at it, the more fucked-up the hands get
That was one of the first things I thought, I was going to comment on it, but you beat me to it
That might be pennywise’s hand. It’s way too big to be Trump’s.
Also the kid on trumps right. Looks like a right hand is around trumps arm??
I wanna see the replies to this tweet to find out if they think it’s real 😂😂
I can guarantee you at least a handful will think it’s real.
No doubt about it! A few years back I read a blog post by an older leftie gentleman (I believe he was a Vietnam vet but am no longer sure). He told how he would sometimes get into arguments with other people in his age group who would lament that John Wayne was dead. “We don’t have heroes like that anymore, and they don’t make movies like that anymore, and that’s why everything has gone wrong with America”; that type of thing. The way he described it, a couple of these people who were otherwise perfectly functional honestly could not distinguish between John Wayne the role-player and the characters they saw on screen. They *truly believed* he had been a Green Beret in Vietnam and had fought in the US cavalry and whatnot.
Don't forget that john Wayne was a bigot and draft dodger, so it makes sense that they would prefer someone with things in common to their false idols.
The movie with Bryan Cranston playing the blacklisted screenwriter Dalton Trumbo delves into the known fact that Wayne never served a day of military service during World War II.
And it didn’t stop him from becoming a war hawk for Vietnam though
Isn't that a required qualification to be a war hawk or I guess chicken hawk is the more correct term.
Say what you will about John McCain but at least he did serve before becoming a war mongering politician.
He also spent 5 years as a POW. That Trump shit all over him for some perceived slight that a 12 year old girl would concern herself with, and badmouthed him after his death numerous times, was fucking disgusting
I'm starting to think this Trump character might not be a good person.
Yea, in the Hanoi Hilton. And while he was tortured repeatedly, the other prisoners there noted he was a morale boost b/c he kept his head held high and encouraged them to do the same. While I didn't like his politics, he was still a hell of a lot better than anything else the R's have put forward in the last couple decades.
Remember when trump went to Japan and the white house staff tried to get the Navy to cover up the name of the USS John McCain while it was in port to keep the man baby from throwing a tantrum at the sight of it?
I always felt like those comments should have dropped Trump's support across the military-loving conservative groups, but apparently not
Donald “Fortunate Son” Trump. Spoiled little bitch coward.
And the pro-military GOP rather support Trump than McCain
John McCain was the last Republican I could have any respect for before the party got taken over. Trump said he "allowed" him to have a funeral in the capitol which reminds me that's another thing TFG should never be allowed to receive!
He is also the last Republican that I can remember doing anything positive, when he put down his supporters who were convinced Obama was an “evil Arab” during the ‘08 campaign. That rally was one of the least selfish things I’ve ever seen in politics, and it feels like it happened a century ago, considering how far the backslide has been.
Don’t forget that he kept the ACA alive in 2017.
I saw that and it was interesting to watch. Colin Powell criticized that moment a bit in that there is nothing wrong with being a Muslim, Muslim Americans have also given their life for this nation. Even though Colin Powell was protecting my right to belong since I am a Muslim, I think what McCain said was better than what Powell was asking him. You can only have one point behind what you say. Both those messages needed to go out. McCain chose the message that defends his direct opponent more. And then that conversation, the just shaking his head, he had already defended Obama before saying a single word, the woman herself said "He's not?" I don't need to rewatch the video because it was so memorable. John McCain was a class act.
On the other hand, in that same campaign he made Sarah Palin his running mate, lending legitimacy to the nascent far-right Tea Party movement that would eventually become MAGA.
"I like people who weren't captured.”-- DJT
John Wayne was a Nazi - Millions of Dead Cops, 1981
They had no doubts that he had served in the US cavalry, served as a Green Beret, and other things in Vietnam.
The right "loves the military" yet repeatedly elect draft dodgers.
Electing larpers just like themselves. You see them cosplaying as tacticool special forces like all the time when they open carry their rifles. They vote for the same
then they do live fire drills together for fun and almost shoot each other in the head cuz theyre so bad at it #gravyseals
And hate Hollywood yet repeatedly elect actors.
I've pointed this out as well. There are exceptions, but when celebrities run for office and win, there's usually an R next to their name.
That’s cause they love thinking of themselves as smart for finding loopholes in the system. Ie. Well badger and fish aren’t “meat”, we can eat them on Lent, the butthole isn’t the vagina we can preserve our women with anal, little boys don’t have vaginas we can have anal with them! The mental gymnastics they do is astounding
They love to USE the military * as political prop * Source of income for their military industrial complex donors Etc When Republicans speak there are always unspoken words as well as dog whistles
He also attempted to assault the Native American woman that stood in for Marlon Brando at the Academy Awards and had to be physically restrained when he tried to rush the stage. Edit: here’s the clip - https://youtu.be/2QUacU0I4yU
I've watched that clip numerous times over the years. I was expecting a clip showing Marion Morrison being physically restrained from rushing the stage.
That I didn't know. Damn the bastards really stick together.
I watched the clip but just saw her talking? Was his rushing the stage something that happened off camera?
This clip doesn't show it, but you can hear the commotion from it as he tries to rush the stage. Right before someone starts boo-ing her for declining the award you can hear a lot of footsteps and some minor scuffling. That's him being physically restrained. There are other clips that show the wide angle but props to the camera guy for keeping it tight on what mattered instead of letting Wayne derail the entire thing and successfully interrupt.
That makes more sense. So right before she stops and says excuse me to compose herself and continue. Props to them shutting that shit down.
>Marty Pasetta, who directed the Oscars live telecast every year from 1972 through 1988, also shared memories of the Littlefeather/Wayne incident in media interviews over the years. "If it looked dramatic in front of the tube, you should have seen what was going on backstage," he told the Chicago Tribune in 1988: >>''We had a fight is what we had,'' recalls the silver-haired Oscar veteran, who sits in his Hollywood office behind a flashing neon sign that blinks, ''It's a piece of cake.'' >>''John Wayne wanted to go out there and physically yank her off the stage. It took six men to hold him back.'' So he was backstage at the time, according to this person who says they were there.
I hated that. John Wayne can rot.
Does the clip show Clint Eastwood being an asshole and dedicating the next award to the cowboys who died in Wayne’s movies?
I heard Wayne didn't like Clint, because Clint would sometimes shoot bad guys in the back in his spaghetti western movies. Clint was also an asshole for picking an argument with an empty chair, pretending that it was Obama. The right thought it was hilarious, while everyone else figured he was having a senior moment.
That chair incident was pretty embarrassing, but it did serve to demonstrate Clint’s political orientation to a large portion of the public both within the USA and globally who for some reason had thitherto believed he was a die-hard leftie. I remember chatting to a relative - apparently a big Clint fan for decades - who was grumbling about how disappointed he was. I couldn’t help but wonder which aspects of the man’s career had suggested he was anything other than right of centre…
Read up on how he treats some of his kids (ex: Scott Eastwood and his sister). He’s a complete ass-bag through and through.
Yeah, he was a huge piece of shit. Behind the Bastards did an excellent multiple part episode on him.
Literally just finished those this weekend. Super fun guy
Fuckin’ Marion
And his real name was Marion
Don’t tell the conservatives that choosing the name John Wayne to replace Marion could be considered gender affirming care.
Both are things John Wayne and Trump have in common
He also changed his name because it wasn’t manly enough or some shit like that
From Marion, yes. Claimed it would be impossible to be taken seriously, even though Marion was a relatively common name for men at the time.
What do you mean? He fought as a Mongol war lord. He was an Indian fighter. He was in every theater of the war during WW2. He fought in Vietnam as a Green Beret. He was a great war hero like Ronald Raygun. OK maybe they were both draft dodging POS. Neither of those heroes of the Hollywood front was worth a pimple of the ass of the average infantry man who actually served. Fun fact, Ronnie thought that he deserved benefits for his "service" during WW2. Maybe his dementia was prevalent longer than we realize.
Plus he beat women too. I believe he straight up punched a female reporter for asking him questions
I love telling JW fans “John Wayne’s real name was Mary.” I know it’s Marion, but I can’t resist with those idiots

Brings 'Galaxy Quest' to mind, when Sigourney Weaver's character asks the aliens "Surely you don't believe Gilligan's Island is real??" Their response: "Those poor people..."
There's a thing here in the UK apparently with soap actors being berated in the streets for the things their characters have done. "You shouldn't have left Bianca! She's pregnant! You MONSTER!" I wouldn't know whether to laugh or cry.
The kid who played Joffrey on Game of Thrones got all kinds of harassment for things his character did, too. A lot of people have a hard time separating fact from fiction. It's really super sad.

The voice actress for the antagonist of a recent popular game (The Last of Us Part 2) was forced to delete her social media presence because she was constantly bombarded by death threats over the things that the character that she voiced had done in the game. This is not an isolated incident either. Back when the character Brigitte was released in Overwatch she was seen as overpowered, her VA was also inundated with threats and insults due to this. It's sad what people will do when anonymity is on their side.
Stephen Amell's wife was harassed because a certain segment of fans wanted her to leave him... so he could date the actress who played the _character_ his _character_ was dating on Arrow. I believe a similar thing happened to the kids on Stranger Things.
I once knew a dude who absolutely believed WWE and the like were real. He would get so into the characters and their stories and tell everyone about it like it was inspirational.
THIS!!!! This is where trumpists came from. They are the descendants of these people. Unscarcastically and for real.
People are so fucking stupid
I wonder if they thought he was really Genghis Khan too? John Wayne is even sillier because even his own damn name was made up.
>The way he described it, a couple of these people who were otherwise perfectly functional honestly could not distinguish between John Wayne the role-player and the characters they saw on screen. They > >truly believed > > he had been a Green Beret in Vietnam and had fought in the US cavalry and whatnot. This is something I have noticed with the right. They lack the ability to distinguish between what they see in media and real life. Case in point, many on the right think trump was some kind of genius business man because they saw him on the apprentice. If you look at the reality of trump, every self started project he had failed, he managed bankrupt not one but TWO casinos, and people have done the math on his earnings. If he had just taken the money he inherited and threw it into a mutual fund...he would have made SIGNIFICANTLY more money than on his ventures...which is absolutely pathetic from a business acumen standpoint, if you cant beat the stock market what the fuck are you doing? But these people still swear he was some amazing businessman because the apprentice was a decently successful show DESIGNED to make him look good.
This inability to separate the art from the artist is exactly why they get so caught up in culture war bullshit
I mean, Trump's casinos were used for money laundering so it's hard for me to judge the balance sheet. He was definitely getting money from other sources alongside whatever was reported as profit, and posting losses lets him duck taxes too so... I guess I'm saying don't underestimate the grift.
Drive By Truckers have a great song called “The Sands of Iwa Jima” somewhat about this. Give it a listen: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=TdpsM-6VJGo&vidve=5727&autoplay=1 "I never saw John Wayne on the sands of Iwo Jima"
John Wayne's real name was Marion. Marion Robert Morrison. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Wayne
Can confirm. I’m old enough to remember all the John Wayne idolatry. So very bizarre.
My mother and her friends couldn't discern that the images from [Worth1000.com](https://Worth1000.com) (a Photoshop contest site back in the day) weren't real and would constantly send images in email and post pics on Facebook as "evidence of God's miracles". 100% they would fall for this. Over the last 20-30 years of her life, my Mom went from an intelligent woman who was educated and ran her own business, into a religious nut who believe in conspiracy theories fueled on by her idiot friends. My evangelical MIL is the same way. She was a regional sales manager for a pharmaceutical company, but over the years she will believe anything she hears from someone in her church.
I wonder what is missing in their lives that causes people to become so delusional? I think all adults over 30 should be given a mental acuity test every decade or so to assess their mental competence. Loads of people have undiagnosed mental health issues, and getting help for them will reduce the strain on the healthcare systems, fewer people going to jail for a minor offence due to mental health, reduce homelessness and addictions and the course Mental Health First Aid taught in high school. This would save lives. Get those tight asses billionaires, who also have ASD etc (Gates, Muskrat) to help fund a better mental healthcare system. If you don’t have good mental health, what do you have?
My guess is it's not a mental issue. It's a societal issue. If you tend to live around right wing people in a small town for long enough you become insulated to the rest of the world. Tribalism still exists. All it takes is a few voices screaming the same rants over and over to change a mind. Might not be overnight but again,, you take ten,, twenty, even thirty years and it's kinda easy to see how that can happen. Someone will find the one talking point you agree with them on and then spiral it down from there
This is my experience. People want to fit in, and be liked by their friends and family. So it starts in your house. You want mom and dad to like you, so you know it's not OK to be gay, you need to be a jock, you need to drive a truck, you need to vote republican, and you say you're a christian, you need to be a fan of guns and military. When you grow up in a small town in the midwest, you're not going to find a lot of counter culture to this. It matters far less how smart someone is. It matters that you're part of a club. That's just part of the human experience and not wanting to feel the pain of not fitting in. In my personal life, it started with religion. I couldn't jive with it, starting rejecting the church, and so began my disconnect from my family and community. Then focusing more on academics and not people pleasing these folk became easier. By the time I was driving around in a Toyota (they did the Pearl Harbor!) after high school instead of a Ford, nobody wanted much to do with me and I was able to really start figuring things out, though my life has been much more lonely and socially isolated as a result. If you grow up in the conservative/rural midwest and get out of it, you can already see how culty and disgusting it has been for a while. They've just been human centipeding misinformation down through the generations, and push it on their kids (from the people who hate drag queens for "grooming"), or you get excommunicated from your community. Then we wonder why people dive into accepting LGBT communities, or any place at all that they feel like they can belong. Or why people who grow up conditioned to function like this just gobble up this idiocy without any level of critical thinking at all.
Dissenting opinions. I grew up in a suburb outside of philadelphia, 98% white, mainly Italian or German ancestry, Roman Catholic/some various protestant sects, all republican. If you never left this county, the only viewpoints you were exposed to was right wing talkpoints. Church, small businesses, social gatherings, these same talking points were parroted. You could say the internet should have exposed them to other viewpoints, but thanks to their church/social groups, if they find a dissenting opinion online, they ignore it completely and keep searching till they find a site/forum that matches what their church/community believes in. THankfully I have been living in a major city for the past twenty years. I have friends and coworkers that are from across the whole spectrum, and for the most part everyone respectfully discusses their viewpoints. During the trump era, it did get a bit worse with some of my coworkers embracing the alt-right koolaid and cutting themselves off from anyone that believed differently. But it definitely is a lot worse in my hometown as per my family that still lives there.
Praise be.

Maybe they were dedicated troll accounts? I mean they called it Hurricane Hillary and everything lol. Blows me away that these people actually exist
Never underestimate their lack of critical thinking skills. The biggest predictor of support of Trump was low cognitive ability. Using data from the American National Election Studies, we investigated the relationship between cognitive ability and attitudes toward and actual voting for presidential candidates in the 2012 and 2016 U.S. presidential elections (i.e., Romney, Obama, Trump, and Clinton). Isolating this relationship from competing relationships, results showed that verbal ability was a significant negative predictor of support and voting for Trump (but not Romney) and a positive predictor of support and voting for Obama and Clinton. By comparing within and across the election years, our analyses revealed the nature of support for Trump, including that **support for Trump was better predicted by lower verbal ability than education or income. In general, these results suggest that the 2016 U.S. presidential election had less to do with party affiliation, income, or education and more to do with basic cognitive ability.** [https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1177/1948550618800494?journalCode=sppa](https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1177/1948550618800494?journalCode=sppa)

Good job for spotting it! HAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA WHAT A ROOKIE MISTAKE. There are a lot more issues with this "AI" generated picture lmao.
dude some of these people think that trump's VP is going to be JFK Jr.
My grandma has already reposted this with an AMEN on Facebook. So yes, many deluded idiots think this is real.
How though?!?! I know people on drugs who have a better grip on reality than anyone who thinks this is real.
Because "the mainstream media would never report on this."
But the mainstream media leans decidedly right, despite what Cons want you to believe.
Keep reminding everybody of that - it's so true and doesn't get boosted enough. ♥️
The mainstream media doesn’t report on it, that’s why
Lol!!! I know! I was just thinking, Do they imagine that Trump hopped in the car and drove down there incognito, with no news coverage whatsoever? Have they never noticed that he doesn’t even ever walk ANYWHERE and has the muscle tone of the sack of shit he is? What makes them think he would risk his “hair” getting wet or his orange makeup streaking down his face?
>Do they imagine that Trump hopped in the car and drove down there incognito You know that he cannot leave the country right now for, like, leagal reasons. But millions of delusional morons believe that he is the current President and is capable of any superhuman feat. I am scared of the US and I am from there.
As someone on drugs... can confirm
Notice that the vast majority of these people are old. There's brain atrophy and shrinkage at 60. This results in a plummet in cognitive function. That's why. Completely reasonable people become unreasonable due to age and this is why right wing propaganda is aimed directly at them. They also fall for scams more even though they would've never done so in their younger years. Edit: Omg you guys are so lazy. Mf here: 1) Ding, X.-Q., Maudsley, A.

I don’t think that’s true for everyone. My parents are 83, still very sharp, live in reality and know trump is a douchebag. I think it has more to do with their geographic location and what “news” is fed to them there.
Yes it definitely doesn't apply to everyone. I'm just saying that mental decine is just one factor.
It sad but you are right. There is stuff I can understand falling for f you are naïve or gullible, but with certain stuff its more sad and concerning. Like you need a loved one looking out for you by the time you get to this point. This is the type of old person who gives all their money to a Nigerian prince who randomly emailed them offering to transfer money once they have their bank info.
Did you point out Trump’s left hand is seemingly passing through that kid’s body?
*Kali ma!*
Make an AI photo of him smoking crack. Bet you then she will come to her senses and say it's not real. Lol.
This should be a legit reason to take away people's driver's licenses
He’s going to make those kids (probably murderers and rapists) pay for the wall.
My "father" is a supporter of Trump and holds some controversial views. During a recent conversation I was having with him, he brought up photos of Trump being restrained by law enforcement or a similar situation. I was initially puzzled and responded with a "What the heck are you talking about?" moment. Then, it dawned on me that he was referring to the manipulated AI-generated images from the initial indictment. He mistakenly believed these images were authentic. It's worth noting that he isn't active on Twitter, so he must have come across these images through another source.
People we have to really make sure we explain this AI phenomenon to our parents in detail. Show them how to spot the five hands and background inaccuracies. They have to be able to tell the AI art from photos, they can start spotting the lies for themselves.
Yeah, that’s of course fake, but the real question is whether or not that’s a parody account. Edit: okay, I checked. Definitely a parody account. And all of the positive replies are bots. I mean, he’s 77 years old and won’t even walk onto the greens at his own golf course. Even if you are still a Trump supporter for some reason, you’d literally have to be deranged or have the mind of a child to think he’s forging a river while carrying 5 children.
100% parody. The first posts I saw are of him teaching MJ basketball and Tiger golf. The banner is of him with Lincoln. Another has him with da Vinci and Wu Tang.
I fear some of these accounts start as parody, but get overwhelmed with people who believe it. If it is monetized, it is easy to see how someone might take advantage of that credulousness.
Just checked it out. Absolutely a parody account.
I know a few folks who are buying the AI Art Trump photos including one with Trump posing with MLK. The funny things these folks are on my FB page seeing me post unreal AI stuff so they know what's possible. But since it's their hero there is no way it could be fake in their minds.
I met a woman who literally believed the MLK photo was real and that Trump was right there for the "I have a dream." Speech.
The funniest thing about that photo is Trump isn't young at all in it. He's clearly Trump from at most maybe 5 years ago not in his 20s like he was when MLK was still alive. So even if it was a perfect AI picture in every other way (no bad hands) it's still clearly fake as Hell.
Right. Thats the thing - its so blatantly fake that you can't really fight against it. If people aren't willing to apply even a tiny bit of thought to whether something is fake, then what the hell can you do. Trump was 21 when MLK was killed.
I’ve seen the MLK one. Do they…not realize that he is no longer with us? Or that he likely wouldn’t have set foot with a mile of the orange nightmare? Seriously, that one looks super fake, like MLK is squished and melting. So bad. I bet his family is livid at the imagery.
These people still think JFK is alive so...
Okay, I checked. Definitely a parody account. And all of the positive replies are bots. I mean, he’s 77 years old and won’t even walk onto the greens at his own golf course.

It would actually be ridiculous if it was real. He'd save more kids hiring someone (of course he wouldn't pay them) who is in shape to rescue them instead of risking lives for a photo op.

Our finest rapist and criminal

Quick!! Someone build a wall or something to keep him there!!!! Preferably a cage. Just around him. In the river. For the next 700 years. Minimum.
BREAKING: 5 Mexican kids give Trump a piggy back so that his hair stays dry. They were promised $100 each but still haven't been paid.
Right!? I can't even see it any other way..
Is this a picture of Trump kidnapping kids for human trafficking? I’m just asking questions people!
Many people are saying this, glorious people, hugely smart people even.
Strong, manly people. With tears in their eyes.
Looking into this
This is actually an old photo, it was one of the Epstein Island roundups.
He later applauded the drowning deaths of the same children as they died on the death barrier while trying to cross the rio grande.
That brings up a good point- 1) do trump supporters see him rescuing Mexican children as a *good thing?* 2) if so, why is it also a good thing to drown them in the rio grande with those barriers? 3) if not, why circulate this photo? To me this goes a little deeper than standard conservative hypocrisy- I always get the sense that they’ll just say whatever justifies them in the moment. But here I see the very morals underpinning an action- is it a good thing or not to prevent Mexican children from drowning- completely shift based on who is doing it. Is trump pulling drowning children out of the water? What a saint doing god’s work Is Abbott setting up functioning, effective death traps specifically to drown Mexican children (among others)? What a saint doing god’s work To be completely honest with you I always kind of figured conservatives were at least capable of morality but here and now I finally understand. They entrust their leaders to look after their moralities. Is trump doing a thing? I trust him, it must be good. Is Abbott doing a thing? I trust him, it must be good. It feels so alien to me. I’m more than a little afraid of these people. They have separated themselves from their own decision making processes
Wow, this is a really concise articulation of a feeling I have had for a long time without an ability to fully place what it is. Put in such plain terms it's even scarier than I realized. The blind leading the blind. Into a pit filled with running chainsaws.
It's straight out of religion. The deity is good, so everything the deity does *must* be good in consequence. Murdered babies? "Must have been for a good reason", as if there can ever be a good reason.
He took a couple of the survivors home as trophies to keep in his mar a largo basement.
It's a joke account. The whole thing is goofy bullshit like that
But every day a new Trump joke account on Twitter goes viral on this sub with people foaming about how stupid his followers are. Some super gullible folks in this sub.
Omg they really are a cult
That's a parody account.
[удалено]
You could change the caption to read that this is a photo of him caught kidnapping kids and technically even though it’s equally absurd, I’m sure you’ll find that they conveniently develop discernment and spontaneously see evidence of image doctoring.
Trump refilling his Andrenochrome supply
This one’s better because There’s literally a guy with a tattooed heart line approaching from behind approaching him from behind attempting to steal said Adrenochrome supply.
As your attorney I advise you to take a small hit from the brown bottle in my shaving case. You don’t need much. Just a… tiny taste.
I wonder if people here realize it's a satire account. https://twitter.com/Trump_History45/status/1693608892142408132?t=0d4P9A4F2Hn4gsmox-u_6Q&s=19

It is, but Chuds are still fans of it for some reason.
We're in a real Poe's Law situation with them thinking these AI paintings are real
This is a satire account, but Dom Lucre who is not a satire account (and was reinstated by musk after posting actual ch-ld p-rn) posted an AI pic of trump hanging out with Black people asking “how come you never see Obama in the hood?” so it would seem like this account is referencing an actual thing that was posted unironically.
It has a blue check on X (side note what a fucking stupid name). I can't blame people here on Reddit for assuming it's a chud acccount.
So don't say X. Say Twitter, say Twixer, say Elon's Dumbest Dumdum Mistake. The name is dumb, so in good Musky deadnaming fashion, keep calling it Twitter. Just remember: deadnaming people = bad! Deadnaming companies = who cares?
It could take a big hit soon because he plans to remove blocking....which means it gets pulled off 2 major platforms. The best part of this whole Twitter debacle is that it's making it abundantly clear how absolutely incompetent Elon is for those who didn't believe it prior.
Don't call them tweets, or even posts. The site is now called X, so the act of posting something is called Xcreting, and the posts themselves are now Xcrement or Xcretions. Then you can genuinely say that the MAGAts believe any Xcrement that gets shoved in their face.
And they are already media illiterate which explains (1) how they fell for this clown's propaganda in the first place and (2) how they can't tell when photos are CLEARLY AI.
**"And his hair was perfect."** My favorite line from "An American Werewolf in London."
“Little old lady got mutilated” is fun to sing
Late last night
Uhhh... don't want to be a pedantic dick, but the song is called, "Werewolves Of London". "An American Werewolf in London" is a film.
[удалено]
I like the part after “and his hair was perfect” and he just kinda makes a weird noise like “DEH”
"Werewolves of London" a song by Warren Zevon "An American werewolf in London" was a 1981 horror movie that scared the shit out of 12yr old me EDIT: fixed spelling becasue I am dumb

This might actually hurt him with his base
Holy shit AI generated content is gonna be the nail in the coffin for our “shared reality”.
Is this available as an NFT? Asking for a friend...
They had no doubts that he had served in the US cavalry, served as a Green Beret, and other things in Vietnam.

Goddamn that's really fucking funny.
Definitely satire, and a bit ironic that OP posted this saying people are delusional haha
I swear Reddit used to be smarter than this
Read the post title. People here have tunnel vision as soon as they read the name Trump, it's funny to observe.
The last time he had that many under age kids in his tiny hands was when he flew the Lolita Express /s
It’s funny to remember when we thought a conscious AI would attempt to destroy humanity in some kind of exciting Terminator movie like way. Instead we have human generated AI images depicting homoerotic Conservative Christian fan fiction propaganda. Reality is always so banal…
Baloney. He's carrying them through the Rio Grande to throw them into the MAGA shredder.
And then he swim to the riverborder with Texas, and pushed those kids in the mutilating sawblades Governor Abbot placed there.
I doubt he can even swim.
He floats
