Yes, Usha Vance is on the board of the Kennedy Center. This is in addition to the other scams they’re running.

        To be fair, ol’ Jim had Kool Aid in his promotional infomercials. Flavor Aid was just way cheaper and available after the population increased.

          Didn’t skimp on the cyanide and sedatives. Feel like the brand of flavoring used is sort of missing the point.

      If theres so many billionaires on the board then why don’t they fund the Kennedy Center instead of letting it go bankrupt?

    The GOP would have a better shot at the midterms if Vance promised a 25th amendment coup in January.

    I still think there’s a decent chance he’ll do it.

      It isn’t. This was just adding some makeup using photoshop. All done by hand.

        Can you post the original image here, please? I’m happy to be corrected. The hair looks wrong, the hands look wrong, the suit looks too wide, and the background looks synthesized. Even the tie looks like it isn’t right at the collar.

            Could be this too. And, shopped was akin to ai slop 15 years ago. Times move fast

        I am the one who made this and I verify that I did in fact do it all by hand with basic photoshopping (but not with photoshop itself.) No AI was used. The hands look off because I found a stock photo of someone with begging hands and pasted them in.

        Its no work of art but its also a meme so I don’t feel bad not spending hours perfecting it.

      NGL, “every image is AI” commentary in every thread on the Internet is very nearly as obnoxious as every image actually being AI.

        That’s a planned outcome. Doesn’t mean people are wrong to be suspicious about everything. Just another ring of hell we’re being forced down into.

        fair enough - I don’t say it often, but sometimes it’s just too much of it and it’s triggering

        I’ll just downvote them and move on

          No, call it out. Never slop. Just because this pretty clearly isn’t (from the smudging effect), doesn’t mean you shouldn’t continue to call out slop. It just means you should try to get better at differentiating the photoshops from the slop.
