    “Another waste of taxpayer dollars and resources. Appropriate action will be taken for all involved,” HUD spokesperson Kasey Lovett said in a statement to The Hill.

    I look forward to the “incredibly transparent” DOGE report explaining exactly how much money was wasted here.

    I’ll just cover it out of my own pocket. You’re welcome, American Taxpayers

    I love the reaction to this. There’s comments floating around about how childish it is, how it shows immaturity, that it’s disrespectful - all from folks who stuck stickers on gas pumps, has decals is Biden tied up and gagged, and a handful of other goofy pictures. Such tears.

    A video produced using artificial intelligence (AI) showing President Trump rubbing and kissing Elon Musk’s feet

    That’s some poor reporting. How do we know it was AI generated? The footage looks authentic to me.

    This is what bothers them. They have all the money, hit them in the ego. It’s all the currency they have between billionaires. When money doesn’t matter you attack their sense of self and worth because what else do you trade at that level? It’s not enough to win, others have to lose to be a billionaire. They get off on punishing people and feeling bigger. Make them feel like a black mirror pig fucker.

      Plus, with how much america glorifies wealth. A good ego check does wonders to billionaires. It’s one of the things that really gets to them. Did you listen to Elon as his alternate account and how pissed he was? Such a fucking thing skinned Nazi bitch.

        These people can’t say “I’ve won capitalism, I want to have a nothing Saturday in my robe and suntan then watch a movie”, they think “if I’m not blasting 24/7 every day then someone else is going to get to do nothing on Saturdays in a bath robe instead” and can’t turn the hate/work/etc off. They equate someone else winning to themselves losing. Can’t have anyone else be happy, they’d rather everyone be miserable. If we laugh, they lose.

    Lol they couldn’t figure out how to stop the video so they had to go to every tv and unplug them. That’s beautiful.

    Nb: HUD apparently means “Department of Housing and Urban Development” for people without their decoder ring.

    What’s the rule on introducing jargon again? Do we remember ?

          Btw, that’s a good point … who’s the moralists?

          If i got it right, the “libs” are woke moralists, while the Reps are the “christian moralists” or sth, right?

            who’s the moralists?

            “for a moment, there was hope” “For a moment, there was hope.”

            Moralists don’t really have beliefs. Sometimes they stumble on one, like on a child’s toy left on the carpet. The toy must be put away immediately. And the child reprimanded. Centrism isn’t change – not even incremental change. It is control. Over yourself and the world. Exercise it. Look up at the sky, at the dark shapes of Coalition airships hanging there. Ask yourself: is there something sinister in moralism? And then answer: no. God is in his heaven. Everything is normal on Earth.

            Idk i was just making fun of JBP because of “up yours, woke moralists!”

            Everyone is a moralist on the internet, it’s just another way to divide people. The differences between the dems and repubs are just for show. It’s been an oligarchy for decades, it’s just obvious now.

      Honestly, I wonder if that’s deliberate. Trump is famously litigious, and he has promised to weaponize the Justice Department against his political enemies. If you publish a video like this (ignoring the hacking onto government computers part right now), but that is clearly meant to appear real, what civil or criminal liability might you face? You could face a defamation lawsuit against a litigant with an unlimited bank account. You might face fraud charges by the Justice Department.

      But give Elon two prominent left feet? No one is going to believe the video is real upon any close inspection. Any reasonable person will conclude the video is fake, rather than Elon having two left feet. Unless Elon wants to admit he has two left feet, he can’t sue someone for defamation (at least under existing defamation law.)

      If this is deliberate, it’s actually quite brilliant. It’s an AI video version of the small penis rule. This might get around anti-deepfake porn laws, but I’m not really sure on that one. This is more a traditional defamation thing. Not sure how it applies in anti-deepfake porn laws.

      That’s what happens when you replace a professional photo editor with the ‘put glue on your pizza’ machine.

    Wonder what model made this? Tried it with Hunyuan Video and Musk/Trump loras, and it got thier likeness but doesn’t quite get the feet licking right.

    I didn’t try starting with a still image though. Flux could 100% swing this, but I don’t have img-to-vid setup locally yet.
