Quoted: This is not true. The Trump campaign and its boosters have been faking imagery in attacks against DeSantis for quite some time. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted: Quoted: It's worrisome that many of you are trying to give DeSantis a pass because though you're acknowledging that the images are fake, they "represent" somehow the reality of Trump's choices - so they are OK. That's a CRAZY stance to take. That's a line I would not have expected anyone here to cross and certainly would not have expected DeSantis to be the first one to cross in an election ad. |

Quoted: Maybe take a breath and consider that this shit is going to be leaking into things without the direct intention to deceive because the person using them doesn't know they are faked. This shit is going to be getting real hard to sift out in the next few years too. Entire videos will be able to be created that are really hard to tell are fake. More interesting times ahead.

On June 5th, the “DeSantis War Room” Twitter account shared a video emphasizing Trump’s support for Anthony Fauci, a former White House chief medical advisor and key figure in developing the US response to COVID-19. Fauci has become a hated figure in right-wing politics, particularly among the anti-vax movement, and the attack ad seeks to grow this base of support for DeSantis by portraying Trump and Fauci as close collaborators. The video includes real clips of Trump discussing Fauci and a collage of six pictures of the two men together. Of the six images, three appear to be AI-generated, showing Trump embracing Fauci. In the collage below they are top-left, bottom-middle, and bottom-right. https://www.theverge.com/2023/6/8/23753626/deepfake-political-attack-ad-ron-desantis-donald-trump-anthony-fauci https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/547908/Rino_DeSantis-01-2844160.jpg https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/547908/no_more_rino_traitors-2835582.jpg Honestly, considering what Desantis has done as governor of Florida, I do not understand how anyone could label him a RINO. Im not a nevertrumper, I voted for the man twice and would vote for him again if he is chosen as the candidate to run in 2024, but all this anti-Desantis RINO stuff seems like leftist attempts to sow discord and division. |

First one to start throwing rocks instead of talking about their own platform loses (both argument and election).
That's kind of a guideline and he just sunk his own campaign if DeepFake images were used. Remember, Trump listened to advisors. Advisors who he thought he knew but were plants, like the NRA suggesting the bump stock ban and Fauci discussing best way to handle flu. Remember when Covid first came out and Trump said "What's the big deal? It's just the flu." yet people attack him for that and for the actions of an agency he couldn't control putting out shitloads of propaganda for masks and stabs. A President is Isn't a dictator and Trump was being attacked every day of his term for multiple insults/lies/threats and propaganda against him (which many bought). Trump wasn't being attacked for something, most of the time it was for something he could not directly change. Hindsight is 20/20 and people forget the era since Biden has out stupided basically everybody and people only have fuzzy memory of event around decision from 5 years ago and just go by the MSM version which is mostly what is found with a Google search. He couldn't can Fauci or the NSA or CIA directors because that would be "evidence" of him covering up something that didn't even happen. Tons of Catch-22s were put in his path. |

Quoted: Ignorance isn't a defense. That's what you're suggesting. They have a duty to vet images they use - especially questionable ones.

Why is it that when a story is negative about trump, the “experts” are dismissed as fake news, but when “experts” are cited in a favorable story, they are in fact experts and their views can be assumed to be true? Must be similar to polls……we’ll count them as the holy word if we like the numbers but if we don’t, they are just tools of the deep state.

#neverdesantis
The only way Desantis will ever get my vote is if he wakes up and buries the hatchet with Trump and agrees to be Vice-President. Bottom line is we ALL get behind Trump who is in reality still the legitimate President, or we lose in 2024. |

Quoted: It would have been a massive risk to go against the pandemic promoters and EUA vaccine producers (and mainstream media) and urge folks to be vigilant and stay home when sick and emphasize there is no mandate to vaccinate with an unproven product and leave it to you and your doctor. Every death would have been pinned on him by screeching talking heads. View Quote Sounds like something to be fearful of. But instead, DeSantis put together a roundtable of experts in Florida, which didn't include Fauci or the CDC or the WHO, and determined that the Federal government's recommendations were way too conservative, and that it would be more detrimental to keep Florida on lockdown, as the Feds were pushing. So, his administration put together a plan and implemented it in Florida. I haven't heard any screeching of "murderer" toward DeSantis, except what the press was saying then, and of course what Trump was saying a couple months ago. Trump isn't going to quit making shit up, so I'm ok with DeSantis taking a page out of the enemy's (that's Trump and his base) playbook. Right? Trump's arfcommers would be having a total giggle-fest... teeheeheehee. Oh, and all you guys that keep talking shit while having no idea what the facts are...keep it up. You're as transparent as Trump and his buddy Biden. |
