Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

MODERATORS
If they didn't want her to voice her opinion they shouldn't have spent a week making fake ai images of her endorsing Trump. They forced her hand; she could either allow her likeness to be appropriated for a political cause she doesn't agree with, or make her true opinion known.
Shes just an uppity women. She should do what I say. -Republicants.
Could just as easily have been a democrat trying to draw her endorsement. Its silly to point blame like that.
I love how you obviously have no idea what's been going on the past week, but you still felt the need to try and defend Republican weirdos.
Not defending republicans. Why couldn't some sneaky democrat realize they could bait her into it with AI art.
Trump didnt make the art. He is an idiot for sharing it though. Can't be too hard to get him to retweet something stupid though.
Stop living in a fantasy.
Trump shared it...
But maybe he did it because democrats fooled him into doing it, right? Right?
After eating someone's dog, the Haitians pressured Trump to post it because they're criminals. Or something.
The point I'm making is the art could have come from anyone. Why not a troll or shitposters? 4chan has done stuff like this for literal decades.
Yes, technically it could have come from anyone.
So let's give the wannabe fascist republicans the benefit of the doubt, because that has historically been a very double plus good idea to do for authoritarians, and only good things will come from doing so...
I don't think this makes trump look good either way, I'm not defending him.
Either he's an idiot who got tricked into posting something he should have known not to, or he's an idiot who has idiot friends who sent him something and he posted it.
I thought she was going to sue him for it.
But then you tweet dumb shit 4chan says. How does that make you look more like a stable adult?
Never said I was defending what trump did. Just said he could have been duped into it. I actually thought shed sue him over it but I guess the endorsement works.
This is such a hilarious conspiracy theory that person has.
Here is what happened: Leon put out an image generator that would create images of real people. Donald is desperate for attention. Donald wanted to fantasize what if A-list celebrities liked him, so he typed it in. He then shared it publicly.
You have a source that says Donald trump made the images with his own prompts? Why wouldnt he be sued for that. Reposting someone else's images was already risky enough.
I'll believe it though if you know where I can read about that.
Not a conspiracy theory by the way, was just saying ai art from the internet could come from anyone, and shitposters and trolls exist. Theres even a professional board for it called 4chan.
Donald is the shitposting troll that this AI art came from, though.
Did he prompt it himself or did someone send it to him?
And yet it wasn't. But I get it, facts don't matter to you.
I'm calling trump an easily manipulable idiot, not defending him.
Who did make the taylor swift art anyways?
I'm certain Dems did ask her for endorsement, there is no way they wouldn't have, right? But they didn't make weird AI images, did they? So it is wildly different and deserves blame and criticism, doesn't it?
Donald is like the stereotypical pathetic incel stalker pasting his face over a boyfriend in a photo to add to a weird little shrine. Just really fucking weird and creepy.
So let's say I made the AI images. And posted them on republican forums knowing they would eat them up. Keep sending them to bigger and bigger names, make a not farm to make the posts visible.
Finally I get the big cheetoh to repost it. Boom, I a democrat, have instigated Taylor Swift into endorsing the Democrats.
Do it, then, wreck their campaign by getting Donald to post more weird AI images that force other celebrities to endorse the Dems.
Just gotta find a weak spot in the pipeline of bullshit that goes to Trump.
