Real Trump convictions - I sleep.

Faked Biden videos - real shit.

[-] julianh@lemm.ee 52 points 5 months ago

Yeah he committed 34 felonies and has a plan to systematically criminalize anyone who isn't a cis white male, but I saw a faked video of Biden sitting down when there was no chair so really they're both the same.

[-] disguy_ovahea@lemmy.world 11 points 5 months ago

I don’t know about that. I hear Biden eats ice cream too.

[-] TTH4P@lemm.ee 27 points 5 months ago

Trump has a recent campaign video with spit flying out of his mouth and foam all over his lip. I'll actually be relieved if that turns out to be an edit because it's so gross it made me shrink away from my phone...

... if wikipedia is to be believed, once the symptoms show up it's incurable and usually fatal.

A more deserving individual does not exist

That rabid raccoon was clearly a deep state actor

There's only been a handful of survivors ever. Near total fatality rate

As a bonus, there is a vaccine. The problem is that you lose the benefits so fast that they only give it to you after you've been bitten, during the narrow window between contamination and infection. Just the time it takes to get to the hospital can easily be long enough to put you into the untreatable phase.

[-] Natanael@slrpnk.net 2 points 5 months ago

Depends on how severe a bite is and where it happens! Deep and high up? You need the vaccine quickly. Minor scratch on your hand? It can wait a week

Man, the edited video is just extending a few frames and letting it go on longer than the actual video. Yeah, Biden goes to sit down first, and is doing a little squat while the person is welcomed to the stage, but the video on Reddit's Conservative subreddit is just cut right at the point he sits down and the last few frames are extended a bit.

But you know I'm going to give them benefit of the doubt (I know, I'm going to hear it from you all). They saw something on Xitter, ran with it before fact checking, and now they have egg on face. Happens to the best of us sometimes. But in the age of AI, all of us are going to need to be on our toes about things. This is just a simple edit on a video clip, AI going to allow us to straight up do all kinds of crazy shit.

We're all in this together and there's a ton of NOT AMERICANS that want us at each other's throat. We are either going to help each other get through AI or we're all going to be falling for made up shit.

[-] uebquauntbez@lemmy.world 5 points 5 months ago

Now we know why AI is coming. To show us the natural stupidity.

[-] Doof@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago

I bet a majority has misjudged sitting in the past, why would this even be a lie worth spreading?

[-] FenrirIII@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

They want to make Biden look old and inept

This is the best summary I could come up with:


CLAIM: A video shows President Joe Biden trying to sit in a chair that wasn’t there during a ceremony in Normandy, France, commemorating the 80th anniversary of D-Day.

The president then briefly looks over his left shoulder, bends over and hovers in that position as U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin is announced as the event’s next speaker.

It’s just all so sad, and disgraceful to those in attendance who desire to honor the brave men who died to protect our nation from tyrannical governments.”

Biden spoke later in the event, pledging “we will not walk away” from Ukraine, drawing a direct line from the fight to liberate Europe from Nazi domination to today’s war against Russian aggression.

The June 6, 1944, D-Day invasion was unprecedented in its scale and audacity, using the largest-ever armada of ships, troops, planes and vehicles to punch a hole in Adolf Hitler’s defenses in western Europe and change the course of World War II.

They faced around 50,000 German troops.___This is part of the AP’s effort to address widely shared false and misleading information that is circulating online.

Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
