No video released yet but the right wing blog-sphere is already claiming it's AI. Put on your seat-belts and keep your hands inside the car at all times.

Like this is going to be the thing that turns off the Maga'ts.

[-] Daikusa@lemmy.world 1 points 3 minutes ago

Probably turns some on tbh

[-] Rhoeri@lemmy.world 4 points 41 minutes ago* (last edited 40 minutes ago)

I can all but guarantee that this won’t sway a single one of his voters. In fact, watch that this doesn’t get him even more support. They love circling the wagons when their beloved king is in trouble.

[-] billwashere@lemmy.world 1 points 18 minutes ago

If anything it will give them permission to do it too.

[-] crystalmerchant@lemmy.world 1 points 24 minutes ago

right up there with S L A M M E D

[-] IndustryStandard@lemmy.world 21 points 3 hours ago

If they want evidence of Trump abusing minors there is an Epstein case they might want to mention.

As someone who had to sit through a seemingly unending stream of videos of Biden sniffing hair etc, none of which were as damning as the people boosting them claimed, I really hope they either don't release this, or it actually is what it claims to be, not some similar crap.

"Donald Trump loses his balance and accidentally makes contact with a girl's butt" or similar ambiguous clip is probably not going to do anything except make me have to start ignoring videos of Biden sniffing hair again when magas start posting them in retaliation or whatever.

[-] RagingRobot@lemmy.world 1 points 46 minutes ago

I loved the Biden sniffing hair videos!! They were so creepy but also funny. I was hoping he would keep doing it after he was president lol.

I also voted for Joe biden. Only because of the sniffing actually lol

But is it a bombshell? Most voters are already decided. Trump's flock will ignore any bad news about him, and the rest won't be convinced to vote for Harris any harder than they plan to or have already done. The vision being fed to us, of a nail-biting race seesawing back forth, is just clickbait for ads,

[-] Snapz@lemmy.world 3 points 1 hour ago* (last edited 1 hour ago)

Stop doing work by trying to preempt the "does this matter though" argument for them?

[-] Snowclone@lemmy.world 9 points 2 hours ago

They can get demoralized and stay home.

[-] LovableSidekick@lemmy.world 2 points 2 hours ago

Certainly couldn't be ruled out, but probably not to an extent that makes the news a "bombshell".

[-] MehBlah@lemmy.world 43 points 8 hours ago

His sycophants forgive any crime he commits. They will blame the minor not him.

[-] Wiz@midwest.social 2 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago)

They use the DARVO strategy: Deny, Attack, Reverse Victim and Offender. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/DARVO

So they will probably end up blaming the girl.

[-] FrowingFostek@lemmy.world 10 points 5 hours ago

Riley: Oh, yes, the victim! At what point does personal responsibility become a factor in this equation?

Dubois: I don't think that's--

Riley: I see piss coming, I move.

Huey: mmm

Riley: She saw piss coming, she stayed.

Dubois: Yes, she did, but--

Riley: And why should I have to miss out on the next R. Kelly album! Just for that?!

[-] MehBlah@lemmy.world 3 points 5 hours ago

Is this a transcript? Please tell me it isn't.

[-] Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 7 points 4 hours ago

It's an excerpt from an episode of The Boondocks

[-] nondescripthandle@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 4 hours ago* (last edited 4 hours ago)

It's become relevant again as a fringe group of people are defending their favorites that got implicated in the diddy parties. At least this time it seems like much less people are on the offenders side, but maybe thats because there are so many offenders that the misplaced support is more distributed than when it was just R Kelly or just Bill Cosby.

[-] Maggoty@lemmy.world 2 points 4 hours ago

It was the last episode of boondocks for many people.

[-] HawlSera@lemm.ee 11 points 8 hours ago

Obviously a liberal sleeper agent

[-] HobbitFoot@thelemmy.club 33 points 9 hours ago

He's bragged about doing it before. I don't see how this would affect his popularity.

[-] HawlSera@lemm.ee 9 points 8 hours ago

It isn't, in fact despite the video not being released it's already being "debunked" as AI on Far Right websites.

[-] x00z@lemmy.world 4 points 6 hours ago
[-] EatATaco@lemm.ee 31 points 10 hours ago

This is just conspiratorial garbage. That article is garbage. I would love for something like this to take him down, but if you think this has any credibility, please realize that your ability to critically analyze new information is ridiculously clouded by confirmation bias.

[-] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 7 points 7 hours ago

It’s such a waste of time

“Without proof, claims of video of event exists”

And then it’s just random people on twitter

[-] psycho_driver@lemmy.world 9 points 9 hours ago

Did Charlie Kirk tweet that? If so, I'd believe it's 100% for real and they're trying to get out in front of it. Like many posters below point out, his base won't care.

[-] ATDA@lemmy.world 2 points 5 hours ago

I have a hard time discerning if Kirk knows this, or if he's just projecting after the Swift AI nonsense.

No, I don't buy it. He's awful. He's a fascist. He has assaulted lots of women (when there were no cameras). I don't believe he'd be this self-destructive at this moment when he needs to win to stay out of prison.

[-] Ultraviolet@lemmy.world 1 points 58 minutes ago

Oh, of course, doing that would be highly irrational. Asinine, even. Only a complete fucking idiot would do it. But you remember who we're talking about, right?

[-] Poem_for_your_sprog@lemmy.world 3 points 3 hours ago

Don 'grab em by the pussy' dementia trump?

[-] Wiz@midwest.social 1 points 3 hours ago

Yes, but he's rich, white, and feels entitled.

[-] jaggedrobotpubes@lemmy.world 2 points 4 hours ago

May I introduce you to the last few months?

You're just long at this one story with fresh eyes. Reasonably. Probably an indicator of sanity. So of course it doesn't sound credible.

[-] prof_wafflez@lemmy.world 13 points 7 hours ago* (last edited 7 hours ago)

yeah I don't buy it either. a) I don't trust anything on TikTok b) Why is everyone talking about a video when a video doesn't seem to exist? If it exists show it

[-] Maggoty@lemmy.world 2 points 4 hours ago

Oh I think he'd do it. This is the same guy that keeps starting more grifts while he's being prosecuted for previous ones.

As to whether he actually did it? Show me the video. But the first sentence is already enough for me not to vote for him.

[-] Amanduh@lemm.ee 9 points 7 hours ago

You don't think the famously stupid person could do something stupid? I know it's a stretch but cmon

[-] Burn_The_Right@lemmy.world 36 points 13 hours ago

This could actually get him more votes. After all, the GOP is the Party of Pedophila.

[-] BeatTakeshi@lemmy.world 1 points 3 hours ago

Grand Ole Pedophiles

[-] WoahWoah@lemmy.world 16 points 9 hours ago

They're the party of "PEDOPHILES SHOULD BE KILLED, DEAD PEDOPHILES CAN'T REOFFEND, I HUNT PEDOPHILES, AND IT'S TOTALLY NORMAL AND NOT PROJECTION THAT I'VE MADE THIS MY ENTIRE IDENTITY." Which is effectively the same thing but is slightly different.

[-] Sylvartas@lemmy.world 8 points 9 hours ago

PEDOPHILES SHOULD BE KILLED, DEAD PEDOPHILES CAN'T REOFFEND, I HUNT PEDOPHILES

Always weirds me the fuck out when I see this stuff. Like, my dude, pedophiles are quite universally reviled, even amongst hardcore criminals, why the hell do you feel the need to loudly signal this ?
