lmao, didnt know what to expect. but its just a picture where she looks downwards at a turkey and a bit of double chin forms while she's smiling. probably the most human picture of her i've ever seen.

anyway dont get distracted by this bullshit. ice is still terrorizing neighborhoods and a warmongering pedophile is still president.

Here’s the actual one

WizardofFrobozz@lemmy.ca · 19 pts · 127d (1 reply)

I don’t get it. That’s… what she looks like. She couldn’t look less normal.

b34k@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 127d

I think that’s the problem. Looking way too approachable there.

Oh I got her mixed up w Pam Blondi for a second and was wondering how a 60s woman had a kid under 5

Is that it?

nocturne@slrpnk.net · 17 pts · 127d (1 reply)

Yup

SippyCup@lemmy.world · 35 pts · 127d

They must be concerned that someone might compare Levitt to the turkey that's holding her kid.

Why’d you crop out the kid?

AbidanYre@lemmy.world · 16 pts · 127d

The article cropped him out

nocturne@slrpnk.net · 12 pts · 127d

I did not, I linked the image that was in the article.

Per the article Drinky Pete didn’t like his photos either

Someone should Photoshop that last one and make his mouth just slightly bigger. Like enough to be noticeable, but not so much that it's unbelievable.

Wow, the AI models have really improved! If I hadn't seen the original, the only thing that would have given it away is the unusually long wing on the flag that isn't the crying stars and stripes.

First one works better. Second one sets off my fake detector but the first one goes under the radar.

Feathercrown@lemmy.world · 8 pts · 127d

The first one is juuuust subtle enough that you might not question it.

I don't give a fuck about some stupid photo when Epstein's client list is running the country.

Plot twist: they were leaked by Noem to distract from her husband's crossdressing photos.

At least that's what I'll tell myself because the thought of this ghoulish administration collapsing from infighting causes a calming sensation to wash over me.

She's lying in this picture. You know how I know? Her mouth is open.

cerebralhawks@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 17 pts · 127d

These all just look like regular people to me. They may be monsters, but they're not exceptionally attractive or unattractive. They just look like your typical professional person.

Attractive people are nice to look at, sure, but accepting that, we must also accept that they are exceptional because they are uncommon, and thus most people not being that attractive are also valid. As opposed to expecting that people be attractive. In fact, I'd say most presidents are unattractive people. Kennedy and Obama being exceptions, but, I am not attracted to men, so I'm a little skewed on saying which ones are better looking. Those two were just less ugly. And I don't mean what they did, I just mean their physical appearance.

Don't see her problem. Its nice to see her pretending to be a human for once rather than a ball sack's mouthpiece.

oh my god, who the hell cares. There's enough absolutely INSANE shit that these people do that we can focus on actions and policy instead of stupid vain bullshit.

Slurred speech yesterday in the address is an excellent example. The neverending war for absolutely nothing. The attack on the constitution currently ongoing in the supreme court...

Authoritarians need to project an appearance of peerless strength, intelligence, and infallibility. The people who fanatically believe their policies will directly lead to what was promised aren't doing it on the basis of those policies, but instead on the trust of the confident strongman who made them.

Fuzzy out of focus pic, no wonder the 'powers that be' sought to suppress it. Poor gobbler!
