Lifts in the shoes. Why u think he was so worried about getting his shoes in the assassination attempt?
I like this strategy, because in order to try to defend Taco, Taco or one of his dimwit supporters will say that of course Taco knew that, tacitly admitting Taco was lying.
It also reminds everyone that has fallen asleep that Taco was responsible for the terrorism of J6.
The problem is that while trump may not know what he's talking about, his followers will believe him anyway. So it's important to loudly and repeatedly point these things out.
Of course the media should but won't do it, so it's good that Newsom is calling attention to it, but even then he has to be aggressive and sensationalist about it for the media to report what he says. It's a role he has taken on, possibly detrimental to his career (or maybe not--we'll see) but it's a role that someone with influence like his needs to play so I'm glad he's stepping up.
I rotated the photo so that the runway in the background is aligned with the horizon. Also filled in the resulting gaps to not lose too much of the original photo. Looks like it was tilted on purpose. The rotated image is much less dramatic but also boring. I guess sometimes you don't need AI to manipulate people.
Edit: I don't get why people think it's necessary to resort to stupid little tricks like these. This is just dumb
Was it to make the Trump side look taller?
Yes
What’s with both of their shoes? Newsom looks like he has no toes and his shoes taper to nothing. Trump looks like he’s wearing construction boots with a heel lift.
Dont come here with reason and facts.
Bit does he do it? Like the center of gravity must be shifted via a massive belt that has lead weights towards the butt side. Otherwise how can most of his body be leaning forward like that?
Do this experiment. Click on the image and then zoon into it such that you can scroll left and right. Then scroll to hide each person past the end of your screen. You will see that for everyone, their face and belly disappear the moment their shoes disappear. Except for his most respectful excellence. But I guess that's the trick. Most of the mass is on the shoes. Its only some that's leaning forward.
OK back to other things.
How does that thing stand leaning forward like that?
Very strong plastic girdle holding in his enormous hamberder gut
Look at the horizon.
Titanium hamstrings, space shuttle grade
It's not the Gavin on the left holding him up.
Just like people can get accustomed to walking in high heels, a raging narcissist can get used to standing in the heel lifts that they use to feel tall.
Michael Jackson is his idol.
I looks like everyone behind him is doing the same thing to an extent. Almost as if it made his look less obvious
Are the other two leaning with him to make him look less tipsy? The only straight one in that image is Newsom.
Does this not destroy his argument or betray his own lies.
Either:
A. His assertion is that the FBI under Biden's direction or agents into the crowd to indie violence. This is demonstrably false since Biden did not control the FBI and therefore could not have done this. He could have said agents but he chose to lie that it was the FBI, and in doing so, crippled his own argument.
Or
B: There were agents in the crowds tasked with inciting violence. These agents must have been working under Trumps direction as it was his FBI. Therefore he is telling on himself. This time the lie is under whose orders the agents were acting.
I believe there were no agents there. Just a bunch of sycophants who revere trump so much they would be willing to root in jail for him and that their cause is so righteous that overruling democracy is fine.
I think that every criminal with an 'R' on his chest thinks that they will be pardoned for any and everything.
So far so good!
Why do we have old fuckers running anything? Clearly, in the past few presidencies now aside from Obama, we've watched old-as-fuck presidents practically decay in office. And they aren't getting better.
Who is next in 2028? Some 92 year old?
With changes in biotech, who knows? I don't think age is the issue, by the way. Taco could be 35 for all I GAF. I sure hope that one day biotech makes 92 year olds in politics an everyday thing...
We need age limits. No running if you're older than 67
