Wait, I missed this the first time. What now? When did this happen?

That was floating in MAGA's sphere for a while and Luciom just regurgitate it.
Obviously when called out on this it's cricket, and I guess his answer will be something like *what I meant is....*

There are many examples of modified images but Trump created the opening for "fact checkers" to actually be right for once, because he didn't understand that they increased the number of people at harris rallies, they didn't make them all up like Trump mistakenly claimed.

So you can find a zillion "fact checkers" correctly pointing out that no, people actually went on the tarmac to greet Harris, even if the photos were modified to increase them.

Tbh the part related to AI could be false/misleading, in the sense that it's not obvious that AI was used to doctor the photos. not that it matters too much which exact tool was used.


There's no evidence that they were manipulated in any way as far as I can tell - do you have any actual evidence that they were are you still just parroting it without checking for yourself? There were an estimated 15,000 attendees at the airport rally (the one with the specific claims about fake images), I doubt they felt the need to digitally modify photos in any way to exaggerate that.

Also the various fact checkers are saying that Trump's generic claim that photos were altered to make the crowds look bigger is false, not just the claim that "nobody" was there is false.

Could you provide a source for the claim that there are many examples of modified images, and a source for the claim that the photos of the people on the tarmac specifically were modified to increase them please?


She talked about how you can live off of only 1 job.

She can’t make that promise. It’s so disingenuous.

Either you are blatantly lying or have access to different sources/pics than us.

also:

Like when Harris uses AI generated pics, easy to debunk, to lie about crowd sizes at her rallies?

Ah right so easy.


anyway, the pic that started all the talk was this, this is the ultraleftist snopes which can't even decide on the fact check, i will save you from the analysis from the right that claim the reflection on the plane doesn't correspond to the people on the tarmac and whatnot, because i have 0 will to start a long discussion on this with people in bad faith and 0 will to have to disclaim the sources and so on.

But for snopes itself, there was something strange about the image

note that this happened and got discussed before trump overplayed the hand and mistankely claimed what the new fact checkers are now fact checking

This is the kind of stuff circulating (again these as well before Trump overplayed the topic, when i wrote that i didn't even know Trump went crazy on it). For the tarmac check snopes above


This was your original statement:

Why do you guys need to lie explicitly all the times? I don't get it. Why lie about things that can be objectively easily countered, is that a form of theater you like to perform? Like when Harris uses AI generated pics, easy to debunk, to lie about crowd sizes at her rallies?

Now it seems that the only person who has actually been lying in this scenario are your guys, aka Trump and his minions. You also said "le about crowd sizes at her rallies", plural, but provided one example, which you don't even want to debate.

I think everyone can see which side is constantly lying round here.

Edit: the additional examples you just provided are evidence of nothing other than the fact the right wing derposphere is full of "alternative facts". Lol at that being evidence of anything without any additional explanation.


No i provided other examples right now. Ofc nothing will ever be "evidence" for you, that's the point i guess.

Trump lied as usual and in this case buried something which could have been used against Harris if used properly. Not the first time even. No need to waste time on both of our sides (here i mean you and me specifically) , you aren't going to believe any rightwing source on this, i am not going to believe any leftwing source either.

I'm just saying that framing a picture of a rally in a border that says "Probably AI generated" is evidence of absolutely **** all. I could do that in the next 10 seconds for any picture you like. Not saying that right wing twitter derposphere would do such a thing, but you know, trust but verify.

Left wing source on what? You're the the one making the claims that the pictures are fake, I don't need to prove **** to you.

I'm pressing this because of the context in which you brought it up, which was "you guys always lie about everything". Seems the example you used was one where it was "you guys" lying, how ironic. I feel your pain though, hard to find examples of "you guys" telling the truth.

That's an interesting interpretation of what Snopes wrote.


You realize this event was covered by many reporters, don't you? You'd think that at least one of them from Fox or Newsmax would have said, "hey, there's not that many people here".


There is also video from the event, so guess that was AI generated too.


I'm very familiar with Aviation and airport security and procedures, ESPECIALLY when a VP flies in. There's no airport that would let thousands of people enter the airport perimeter, and certainly not let them all run out on the ramp like this to greet an arriving VP. They also hid the registration (tail number) to hide this, or maybe the a/c was totally faked as well.

This is fake.




Interesting. And the video clip starting at 1:50 in the video posted above, is that fake too?


On a scale of 1 to 10 how big of a liar is Kamala?

1 being casual exaggerating from time to time
10 being liar liar pants on fire!

Playbig - Ask your military "insiders" and they will tell you that the Air Force started removing tail numbers from planes a little more than a year ago.

Also, Trump came to my town four years ago. Guess where the rally was and where all the people were. That's right, at the airport and they were all on the tarmac.

I hope this helps.

Odd that Playbig doesn't know this, considering he claims to be an air traffic controller.

I honestly don't know the answer to this, but I sure as heck know who's a 10.


weird



For the avoidance of doubt, Luciom, Playbig is one of "you guys".

she lies a tad less than the average politician because she in general makes far fewer claims about reality than the average politician.

Playbig is far more entertaining than Luciom, though.

Not for a blue and white, and no, when Trump did his rallies at airports, he didn't have thousands of people running out to greet the aircraft upon arrival right there on the ramp. They were all secured in either a hanger or the event area itself. I hope this helps, but I'm all ears if you have any additional questions or concerns.
