"Now, this RINO is of Mexican heritage. I built a wall, OK? I built a wall and Mexico paid for it. Of course he will be very unfair to TRUMP. Many people say he wants a job on FAKE NEWS CNN and to write a book"

I legitimately can't tell if you made that up.

[–] dhork 17 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Of course he made it up, if it were authentic there would be some misspellings.

Touche.

To Check if it's AI: look at the hands.

To check if it's a fake Trump tweet: Look for at least one misspelling.

Does it even matter at this point?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 months ago (1 children)

In the grand scheme, probably not? But personally, if I'm going to cringe, facepalm, or be outraged, I'd prefer those feelings to be based in reality.

Attorney General Alberto Gonzales endorsed Vice President Harris Thursday, citing in part the Supreme Court’s immunity decision in calling former President Trump “perhaps the most serious threat to the rule of law in a generation.”

You mean since....YOU?....Alberto?

Pot calling the kettle black.

He's taking a principled stand in favor of the rule of law. It's important to our nation's soul that there's a legal memo written before we brutalize and torture people.

“Torture memo” Gonzales can go fuck himself with a rusty ax.

That’s like getting endorsed by Kissinger.
