Trump puts up AI video of Obama being arrested by the FBI in the Oval Office
a year ago by ByteOnBikes to c/nottheonion
They're trying to insinuate that the accusations on them are of the same legitimacy of those they've been throwing at everyone for decades.
If their claims are rebuked as baseless, they'll call the claims against them baseless as well. If the claims against them are said to be substantiated, they'll point to their claims and suggest the same. It's the "tails I win, heads you lose" of a political scheme.
conservatives are more likely to believe fake news, and cons more. eventhough AI is fake, its just affirmation to thier beliefs.
Yeah, but the people know. They know he was involved.
Ang Maga will cheer him for that
Not.Pissed.Enough.
obama broke the minds of tea party crowd, and by extension MAGA.
He's flailing so hard he is speed running through all of his tried and true distraction techniques. It's like watching Jordan Peterson on the Surrounded thing on YouTube. He's a one-trick pony, and it becomes obvious when you do it that fast.
I mean .. even MAGA caught on. Now, are they going to see the pattern, or are they going to go back to the mental gymnastics and become furious about a book in a school library in a state they don't live in? Unfortunately, we could safely wager our life savings on which option they will choose.
you noticed the threat of Tariffs are having no effect anymore as a distraction even from the magats, and News are just moving on after mentioning it. he used it so much people got tired of listening to it.
Almost forgot about the Epstein case there for a moment, except I didn't.
Will an AI make a video of him being innocent in the Epstein case, or is the technology still not that good?
I'm sorry, Dave, I'm afraid I can't do that
an AI cannot output something that does not appear in the training material ...
I think a know a bot that could help robo chomo
Epstein’s best friend, convicted felon and adjudicated rapist Donald Trump, is a human trafficking child rapist.
The pedophile in chief is just spraying videos hoping something distracts people
And demented sociopath.
He is the most prolific traitor in American history, worse than all other American traitors COMBINED. Any list should START with TRAITOR.
And nepo bb
Weak attempt to distract. Stay focused folks. EPSTEIN FILES, RELEASE THEM.
Terry Crews' character in Idiocracy was non-satirically a better President at this point.
Yea, at least he cared about the crops or something
well, he wasn't a pedophile at least.
At least he gave a shit.
That movie promotes eugenics, discrimination and ultimately genocide
I wouldn't use it as a comparison. It is made by a Nazi.
It's not being serious. I understand intelligence isn't a breeding stat, and smart people having kids isn't going to produce a smart society, if it would only talk about reduced education and cultural trends as the cause of mass idiocy, but that's really not what the film is about. It's not actually advocating for eugenics.
What ever you want to tell yourself
The movie is a comedy, not a serious attempt to diagnose the world's or America's problems, but the emphasis on ''only stupid people are breeding'' in the beginning of the film is one of the causes of the dystopia, that is eugenics, which is a disproven racist part of academia that had it's part in the nazi movement. So it's a dangerous idea to promote, but that's not what the comedy is about. It's just a gag.
Just FYI. We in Europe are watching what you guys are up to and being super judgemental. Get your shit together.
Keep an eye on your own countries, you're not immune to right-wing populism.
Just FYI, you in Europe should spend more time learning how not to freak out the moment you invite a relatively small amount of Muslim people of color to live among you as refugees and start pushing boats back into the sea to drown. We watch your society start to break apart the moment it drifts even a tiny bit away from white ethnostates. Hungary and Poland fell before the US.
Don't get me wrong, we're a flaming dumpster fire right now, but it gets very tired very quickly listening to you people look down your noses at the US like your shit doesn't stink as you teeter to and from the brink of far right parties taking power every 3 years on a platform of "no Muslims in Country X." You're not wrong, but glass houses my guy. You judge us, but the rest of the world judges us both.
And how’s Europe and such doing on gay rights, women’s rights, diversity, privacy rights, health science, climate science, wealth equality, economic policy, territorial threats…
One comparable out of many doesn’t make a glass house.
I think the point was that the far right is close to winning in Europe. If they do, you can kiss all those things goodbye, just like us.
I mean, it isnt as bad as in the US yet, but were definitely on our way. Just listen to the garbage that sounds exactly like maga from people around you.
It feels like everyone is making hate and fear their new identity, and the minorities get blamed.
Well that depends, how about you go ask TURF Island or Hungary or most of literally everything south or east of Germany. If you're gonna pretend France and Germany are all of Europe then you should at least be comparing to like, idk, just NYC and CA or something. Again, reeeeeeeal glass heavy house over there.
I agree with you, trying to compare a single country to a union of countries, where every entity has their own interests and culture is kinda useless. Eastern europe has a lot of catching up to do, but I don't get how we devolved into fighting under a video of trump using AI to post a video discrediting former president Obama by framing him as a criminal. We all just want a world worth living in, where everybody has the same chances. We ought to fight TOGETHER against these race-ideology idiots spewing hate and fake news
Where are concentration camps happening already?
Where is a popular fascist already in power?
Fucking Americans playing whataboutism when they’re a mile down the road already.
exactly! it's just a bunch of brown people we have to abandon to maintain our perfect society. I mean they're barely "people".
/s
don't worry. this is like the fever stage of the virus.
we haven't even started the vomiting yet.
😢
I'm an American who moved to the Netherlands in July of '22. I spend a lot of time going back and forth. My then fiancé, now my wife, was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis during the pandemic. Given the obvious price difference for medication to treat the disease, I decided to move in with her instead of her coming to the US.
I find it disheartening to see what the rest of the world thinks about Americans up close. I am competently multilingual enough to hold conversations. I have to admit now that I understand why other natively born Americans pretend that they're from Canada outside of the U.S.
Despite my embarrassment about the body politic and discourse from my country, I find that the the same authoritarian, isolationist, and anti-intellectual mind-viruses that permeate through society in the United States (especially in rural communities) have a beachhead here in Western Europe. Either that or they've always been here to begin with. To me, the difference is that the scale is much smaller.
Yeah, for sure. The Russians have been busy in all countries. The reason things got out of hand in the states is because you have a two party system. You only need to control a few people to control enough to take over the country.
That being said, Americans need to take a page out of the French play book at this point. If you try to make a Frenchman work an extra half hour a week, Paris will burn. That's the level of outrage you need here. Nothing short of that will be effective. Don't protest, riot! A few people hanging about with plakards isn't going to cut it when the government is deciding which TV shows they'll allow, threatening politicians, protecting pedophiles, killing witnesses in federal custody, detaining people without cause, deporting/imprisoning people without trial, and deploying combat troops against peaceful protesters.
I'd like to point out that all this shit is not normal and Americans need to understand how deeply fucked up the situation is. From where I'm standing I'm not sure most of them do. Yeah it's regrettable that fascism took hold in the states despite the rest of the world screaming at them to stop, but what's really alarming is that they're just kinda going along with it.
As a leftist American, you're right. There's a simply incredible amount of the population who refuse to participate in politics at all, then another huge swathe who gets all their news from social media or a single source which never gives the whole picture. I've protested, I've written my leadership, I've changed family and friends to the side of sanity but it feels like there's just no winning like this. I'm ready for a general strike, to stop paying federal taxes but it's all self harming if done alone. Our leaders have failed us basically across the board and I'm hoping that they've fucked up enough in the eyes of the general public so there's a correction and we can get this country far more socialized and kick corporations off welfare.
Too many Americans are eager to lick the boot. "We have to work (for free) this weekend to get this feature out [for the deadline the owner made up and customers don't care about]" was something my old team unironically said to me more than once
I find that the the same authoritarian, isolationist, and anti-intellectual mind-viruses that permeate through society in the United States (especially in rural communities) have a beachhead here in Western Europe
America's worst export.
Bold to claim we had to export it. This is like someone saying "yeah, we've got black mold, but it obviously came from our neighbours, and has nothing to do with the raw sewage we've left in the basement for the last eighty years!"
Literally none of those things first gained traction in the Americas. As a US citizen, I think we need to be doing a general strike with riots in the streets and shutting down interstate trade with our bodies marching on the highways.
But you need to see to your own houses, because while the mold is running wild over here, it didn't start with us.
I think what’s pissing me off about the US most right now, is even through the dumpster fire and their idiotic elected leader, Americans are STILL moraizing, looking down on others and being the world police
For the record, we average citizens don't want to be the "world police". This is what President Eisenhower was referring to as the "Military Industrial Complex".
Starting in the 1980s, the United States, which insisted on strict terms for the re-payment of Third World debt, itself accrued debts that easily dwarfed those of the entire Third World combined — mainly fueled by military spending. The U.S. foreign debt, though, takes the form of treasury bonds held by institutional investors in countries (Germany, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand, the Gulf States) that are in most cases, effectively, U.S. military protectorates, most covered in U.S. bases full of arms and equipment paid for with that very deficit spending.
This has changed a little now that China has gotten in on the game (China is a special case, for reasons that will be explained later), but not very much — even China finds that the fact it holds so many U.S. treasury bonds makes it to some degree beholden to U.S. interests, rather than the other way around.
So what is the status of all this money continually being funneled into the U.S. treasury? Are these loans? Or is it tribute? In the past, military powers that maintained hundreds of military bases outside their own home territory were ordinarily referred to as "empires," and empires regularly demanded tribute from subject peoples. The U.S. government, of course, insists that it is not an empire — but one could easily make a case that the only reason it insists on treating these payments as "loans" and not as "tribute" is precisely to deny the reality of what's going on.
The young left has become the world moral police and it has nothing to do with the military, right wing uses the military. The young left is just using shit slinging. But Americans need to get to the back of the line when it comes to moralizing or leading global issues, the rest of the world doesn’t want to hear it from Americans
I don't understand anything you just typed. Who's "young left"? The global "young left"? You think only the "right wing" uses the military?
And who should be leading global issues? Europeans? Chinese? Russians? Indians? G8? G20? UN? Who?
Or is it that Americans are the only ones who can't or shouldn't be allowed to "lead" or "moralize"?
Genuinely confused.
Being black on a Friday night (technically a misdemeanor)
Do you know what I do when I go to bed? I sleep. Almost instantly. I don't lay there and stress and worry about what I did. I don't worry about how I'm percieved. I just sleep.
You can see by his actions that trump is a deeply troubled, deeply insecure, deeply stressed man. And I use the word "man" in the loosest of definitions.
Everything he's doing, from the CBS cancelations, to blocking the commanders stadium deal, to whatever this ai video bullshit is, it all screams of a man grasping at straws, desprate to change the topic.
Me? I have no desperation. What'ya guys wanna talk about?
they never mentioned not doing kids...
Same, it bothers my wife how quickly I fall asleep. Its easy when you don't have any worries.
Had a family member (who's going through some odd mental health stuff) accuse me of forcing them to watch horror movies or I'd think they were weak. I don't even watch that genre. My wife is up worrying : Aren't you concerned about them spreading that rumour? Me: Nope. The people who know me, would know its false. The opinion of people who don't know me is irrelevent. Zzzz...Zzzz
I don't lay there and stress and worry about what I did. I don't worry about how I'm percieved. I just sleep
Must be nice to be neurotypical or even more relaxed than the typical neuro, I guess 🤷😛
Isn’t this against the no deepfakes law the cunt has been pushing
Yes and nothing will happen from it. News outlets squak. The cult laughs. The "libs" get angry. The government does nothing because even if they did this is a presidental action and he has immunity.
I can't believe how fucked everything is. I'm over it. I just want to survive with my family.
Yeah I don’t usually get pissed, I’m just perpetually baffled.
Another low effort attempt to distract feom the fact that this guy is100% in the Epstein files. The AI slop mess is just so very on brand like the distasteful Trump Gaza nonsense
Jesus. What a shit show.
Y'all know there's some old ass country bumpkin watching this and jerking off to it.
Yeah, while he was posting, apparently...
you inspired me to make an easy to use meme in this situation.

I'm assuming this is just a joke but in case is not, PSA on, please get involved in your local community some way if you're not already. It will be important to be involved at local levels if we're to clean up the mess we're in. Thanks for listening to my PSA
What the hell am I going to do about the way things are? I can't fix it. I inherited it. And the dumb people are taking over. I'll spend my knowledge but life is too damn short to go on "fighting the good fight" when the majority is morons.
Literally every time I hear news out of my U.S my brain is boggled.
Governments don't represent the people anymore than kings did. Democracy is a farce.
RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES.
Do you really still need them at this point? I mean lets just come to the conclusion that what we're all thinking is true...
Everyone knows, that’s not enough, we need to burn every single one of these fuckers down.
So much power in the tiny pathetic hands of such a sad small petty weak-minded man. America projects weakness.
Sorry Trump, you're still a pedophile.
Epstein, Epstein, Epstein, Epstein, Epstein, Epstein, Epstein, Epstein, Epstein, Epstein, Epstein, Epstein, Epstein, Epstein, Epstein, Epstein, Epstein, Epstein, Epstein, Epstein, Epstein, Epstein, Epstein, Epstein, Epstein, Epstein, Epstein, Epstein, Epstein, Epstein, Epstein, Epstein, Epstein, Epstein, Epstein, Epstein, Epstein, Epstein, Epstein, ...
Which is why Americans voted for him. Twice.

"no one is above the law" it says... While Trump is literally acting like he's above the law and the supreme court allows it.
well i guess someone must be above the law then
yet more projection
Can someone please make one of trump murdering Epstein??
weirdest taco I ever saw
Who cares. I want to talk about Epstein, Trumpy.
Actual criminal trying to normalize being a criminal.
Might not be criminal liability, and I don't know enough about civil liability as regards presidential immunity, but I'd think a different standard of immunity would apply for civil liability.
Well turns out he's started a criminal investigation against Obama for his time in office, in which he would be (per his own supreme court win) immune to criminal prosecution. Just more distractions from the Epstein files
Indeed
It's to distract you from Epstein
Sounds like fAkE nEwS...
They'll get to that.
you realize that's what he wants, right?
if there's deep fakes of him and Epstein he gets to say,"well it's all fake!" and his base will gobble that shit up like candy.
he can say it all he wants, as long as his base doesn't have "credible evidence" they have a higher chance of not believing his lies.
when you enemy gives you an opportunity it's likely a trap.
We're never going to be able to trust anything ever again. Especially because conservatives choose to accept anything that validates what they want to believe over things that can be verified. Critical thinking is not their strong suit. And they will abuse these platforms like a mofo.
There is an actual pic of Trump with a urinary catheter at a wrestling event. Dude is frail, likely has CHF, Cardiomyopathy and probably needs to retire. he also can't sleep... so can we consider he has a bit of sleep deprivation psychosis???
I switched from calling him Trumpler to Trumpstein. I know it's petty, but I'm only calling him names while he's building concentration camps and "enjoying little secrets."
What’s funny is the motion picture depicts Obama sitting in prison alone.
You know it’s fake because if Obama was in prison EVERYBODY would want to be his buddy. Dude has so much freakin charisma.
Dude could make drone bombing kids at a wedding cool.
His children will inherit the throne. Usually the eldest, Don Jr., so Donald Trump is still the boss.
Damn Barack Obama is 63. How time flies
"NO ONE IS ABOVE THE LAW!"
Except a certain somebody I could name...
Cool! Now where are the Epstein files?
Huge B5 fan, but I'm drawing a blank. Trump is like Clark, but what else am I missing?
Babylon 5 is happening a lot lately and its honestly impressive how much JMS got right.
He probably would if he could. If Reagan's Star Wars program went through? Jan 6th would have been even worse.
This is some juvenile grade deepfake revenge porn.
lol this guy is a really sore loser he can never forget a butt hurt. related link (July 18 2025 dated lol)
Don and his shit has turned this country into the Aristocrats joke...
Well, by 2029 (or 2027 if Democrats retake the House and Senate), we should be getting a video of Trump being arrested by the FBI in the Oval Office.
any day now!
The NYT issued a story with a fake quote
Regarding the story about a fake video.
Truly, we are down the AI slop rabbit hole
If you haven't read Neal Stephenson's 'Fall', you should (though reading 'Reamde' for context on some of the characters may be useful).
'Fall' is about half Paradise Lost for the digital afterlife (less-realistic), but the other half is a fairly believable take on the outlook in a 'post-truth' world of deep fakes and AI slop.
