      Is this really any crazier than the 2008 smear that attempted to assert Barack Obama was a gay prostitute by the name of Barry Sorento back in the 1970s? Or the attempt to claim Nancy Pelosi’s husband’s assailant was his secret gay lover engaged in a spat? Or the litany of accusations by right-wing AM radio freaks, insisting that Hilary Clinton was having lesbian affairs all over Little Rock while her husband was governor?

      It’s the same playbook every fucking time. We just have AI image generators now, so we can plaster a very obviously artificially generated image of Kamala’s face superimposed over some random California sex workers and pass that around on Facebook for the next three months.

        The biggest tell is that Kamala was in her twenties in the 90s, so any of these photos that would have been taken would have either been taken on a shitty little analog camera or it would have been a polaroid. You’re not going to get 4k high-resolution photograph of her doing sex work back in the 90s because the technology simply did not exist.

        Of course, the action never happened in the first place and you can’t photograph something that doesn’t exist.

        You can Photoshop it, but you can’t photograph it.
