Former President Donald Trump continued his obsession with crowd size on Sunday, claiming photos that showed a large crowd outside Vice President Kamala Harris’ Detroit rally last week were AI-generated. But one photographer who was in attendance confirmed to the Daily Beast that the images his camera captured were very real.

      I still don’t know which is more unbelievable to me - that it happened in the first place or that he’s still a toss-up for the presidency despite having pulled that stunt.

        He tried to claim he’d been right about the path of a hurricane… by doctoring a weather prediction map from the National Weather Service with a sharpie.

            This is also one reason project 2025 wants to eliminate NOAA. That and the whole bit about NOAA along with NASA providing direct scientific evidence of global warming that goes directly against the interests of the fossil fuel industry. I mean… clearly the latter is the lion’s share, but Trump’s pettiness knows no bounds when they wouldn’t [fully] play ball and affirm lies he told about the storm… https://www.cnn.com/2019/09/11/media/hurricane-dorian-donald-trump-reliable-sources/index.html

              Another reason they want to eliminate NOAA is because they provide weather info for free. Without NOAA we’d end up paying for our weather reports from private companies.

              Wish I could get this bug in the Harris campaign’s collective ear:

              They should be running 24/7 TV spots in Florida outlining moves have the GOP has done, and wishes to do, to defund NOAA. We live and die by that reporting in hurricane season.

              No need bring up shit Republicans don’t believe in like global warming or stronger and more numerous hurricanes.

          The former “leader of the free world”

          Have are we not up in arms in this timeline? Figuratively, that is. It would be good to avoid armed conflict, but why the fuck are we allowing lying moronic assholes in positions of power?

              But really stupid morons can’t be the majority, surely.

              So there’s something going on with the average intelligent as well.

              Perhaps it’s because the majority isn’t as loud and obnoxious as the moronic minority?
