MODERATORS
Now, I am not an expert of US law, but if American news has taught me anything, the only possible outcome of going through the courts is the following:
Court decides against the govt
Govt appeals to a higher court
Higher court decides against the govt
Govt appeals to a higher court
Supreme court decides Trump is God and all is well
The end.

Very professional and mature. This is what everyone expects from a government institution.
the right can't meme
It's not so much that they can't meme, it's that they have only one joke: "Look how I can make this person fear me".
They generally don't have a language-based way of thinking, it's why they just say shit. Call them weird narcissists? Guess what they're going to be calling you next week. Say they're violent? Guess what they're going to be saying about the left tomorrow.
It's all reactionaries and grifters who enable those reactive attitudes by showing them how to ignore criticism.
I would be far more optimistic if we just had a stupid population with misguided, reactionary tendencies. We can work with that. You can fix stupid. You can't fix evil though, and the people leading our country's stupid are pure evil. And they know it, which is why the whole slew of podcasters, AM radio hosts, FOX pundits and cabinet members weasel and worm around accountability all day, every day.
This is not even a meme
That's not a meme, that's Propaganda.
It’s also libel made with actual malice.
right? it is literally the definition of libel...
Gonna be a really expensive lawsuit. That is paid out by all of us taxpayers.

the white house has zero credibility under the trump regime with me. they release fake pictures along with fake news to push their Nazi agenda behind doors.
Defamation.
Also, nice racist bias on that model (making her fatter).
The Memes will Continue.
The jolly old USSR was as half-assed as the Trump DOJ. There's a famous case of someone being airbrushed out of a group photo, but they couldn't be bothered to get rid of his shoes.
An ICE pastor is the craziest part of this story... has the cunt ever read his supposedly favourite book?
Most haven't, it's about money and connections not faith and community empowerment.

imagine being older than 20 and using memes.
If Democrats don't prosecute the FUCK out of themselves for being complicit with this administration as well as the scummy admin itself, then we are FUCKED because they'd just enable the next wave of fascists.
Fuck Trump and everyone who enabled him up to this point
Why people always talking like the Democrats need to fix this shit. They are controlled opposition. They're not going to be our saviors.
It physically hurt when Cuck Boomer said that we still need to investigate Renee Good's murder before we know what the outcome is. I'm sorry, but that centrist slop is the exact opposite of what we need. What I believe we need.
So yeah, I'll keep talking shit about the Dems because they're supposed to represent my views, since we live in a Representative Democracy.
But maybe that needs to change. I'm all for a general strike to make these maggots in suits crumble to their knees. Minnesota is trying to do that today in fact

They always enable fascists because they prefer fascism to socialism. The American people are left with a choice, either revolution, or submission. Fascism is the inevitable end point of capitalism. Power and wealth concentrates at the top while the rest of society is starved of resources, and those at the top use those resources to get the working class to fight amongst themselves, by blaming their failures on minority groups.
I would argue that fascism is the ultimate tool for capitalism, for the reasons that you outline.
But I agree with your sentiment

Spoiler: they won't!
"WhAt wE nEeD nOw iS uNiTy"
....and as a bonus, you know what else they won't do? They won't bother to roll back or repeal any of Trump's bullshit. Welcome to the new normal, where nothing is normal and your government is either fascists or the spineless cowards who pander to them
They don't care. They will launder the reputation of Republicans and pardon many of them. Meanwhile any protesters against this will be shown no such mercy by the same democrats.
And all this will be in the name of 'healing'.

I know history is full of nasty little dictators and their lackeys but have any of them ever been this fucking childish?

As an American, watching the highest office in this country be turned into an absolute joke over the decades has been demoralizing, to say the least. There's nothing to be proud of. I feel like, thanks to social media, we got to see the real people, and then it distilled people down to their worst parts. I despise seeing the leaders of the nation be so petty, so idiotic, so childish.
I mean, throw this on the pile of reasons the current administration isn't worthy. The felonies, the child raping, the blatant attempts to start wars, the blatant disregard of the Constitution, and just misinformation galore. They edited a photo... how small of a person do you have to be to think "I'm part of the government, I have access to the White House official channel, I'm going to be very transparent about what I think of the current situation and use AI to mock and try to spread misinformation." I hope people link back to these things (all of these things, not just this photo) every single time anyone in the current administration speaks. When ever any company supports them. When ever any person supports them. Like NEVER let it go. Just flood them every single time. They say Merry Christmas, bring up the Epstien files, the rape, the photo editing, the felonies, the... everything. Just non-fucking-stop.
It's just so god damn fucking embarrassing to be an American right now. And I know by the end of the year, I'll be wishing to get back to how it is now, I'll look back fondly on how it was "only" so bad at the start of 2026.
Sorry for the rant, I'm just, so god damn tired of every single day Dimentia Don, doing yet again, another dumbass thing.
This is actually really scary. They’re modifying photos to manipulate and control people.
I mean, they're also abducting children and murdering dissenters to control people...

Why do they always depict a "far left agitator" as a black person? 🧐
(I mean you all know the answer... its racism)
Ignoring the fakery, I don't see how the alteration makes her less sympathetic. I would also be distressed if being frog-marched by facists for the crime of being born autistic.
All this propaganda does, is cement my decision to fight. The Trump Regime and Dogey Americans, are enemies of any decent human being, and must be destroyed.
They think they are portraying the subject as 'weak'. It's for their racist base to feel like 'right on, we made a weak black leftist woman cry, like they all deserve''.
It was never about making her less sympathetic, but a celebration of hurting the 'correct' people to get hurt.
It's not JUST for thier base.
For anyone pondering joining such actions, these would be leaders.
If you're thinking of joining, and the leaders look "weak", it might not inspire much faith. You might decide to hold back.
The truth is, she looked calm and collected, confident in her decisions and actions. She looks like a leader. She looks like someone worth following. That type of imagery is dangerous if you're trying to suppress action.
So, in short, it's an attempt at active suppression, not just a "treat" for thier own. It's the modern equivalent of going on about how short Napoleon is. It's an attempt to diminish those they're afraid of to try and keep others from following them.

The altering of a photo is meant to distract you from the fact that they are arresting ordinary citizens who don't have the financial means to legally protect themselves. It may seem like an irrelevant distinction based on everything else they do but this is an escalation.
Me, the other day: "They've finally done it. They've finally hit rock botto...wait, nope, I was wrong."
Me, yesterday: "They've finally done it. They've finally hit rock botto...wait, nope, I was wrong."
Me, this morning: "They've finally done it. They've finally hit rock botto...wait, nope, I was wrong."
Me, tomorrow: "They've finally done it. They've finally hit rock botto...wait, nope, I was wrong."
Etc, etc, and fucking, etc.

Every day I'm glad I don't have any Trump cultists in my circle. The everyone is 12 theory continues.
More like everyone is 92 because most kids today are smarter then this.
I bet if you showed this case, without political context to a class none would laugh and all would agree its wrong for officials to do this.
Bondi: "Listen loud and clear: WE DO NOT TOLERATE ATTACKS ON (our) PLACES OF WORSHIP.”
A government agent altering a photograph to render an inaccurate image of an accused person will raise serious questions of bias. But also, any defense will likely now include whether the government has also digitally altered any other evidence concerning the matter, and whether that evidence was developed for public consumption or otherwise. to generate bias.
I'd say more broadly this raises concerns about how the White House directly controls or damages the credibility of the Judicial Branch. But, for the world audience, this should raise red flags about the (in)stability of the US in general.
