    Dystopian fiction: The regime alters photos to make people look happy and smiling, to hide their cruelty.

    Dystopian reality: The regime alters photos to make people look sad and pained, to brag about their cruelty.

      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.

    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.

    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.

    America won’t tolerate “attacks” in their churches yet seems to have no answer for and tolerates quite a lot of school shootings…

        Nikolai Yezhov, head of the NKVD during the height of the great purge. He fell out of favour, was tortured, convicted of various crimes (including wrongful purgings, funny enough), and secretly executed. Don’t feel too bad for him though, he was a nasty character.

        I don’t think it’s a particularly apt comparison. He was previously an important government minister, edited out of the picture to pretend that actually, Stalin was never cool with him. This woman is just a citizen that the US government has decided to humiliate using generative AI.

    It’s always inspiring to see the bottomless well of incompetence, absurdity, and stupidity that makes up the entirety of this white house.
