HPG's post is dead on target. I'm not an AI image expert; far from it, but I do use a long list of AI image editing and generation apps regularly and know what to look for. I quoted all of HPG's long-ass post so you all can re-read it. It's worth your time. The author's breakdown of AI flaws and artifacts is very well explained and accurate. I've created hundreds of AI images and know what fuck ups and artifacts look like. The crowd photo above is loaded with errors, even though the creator used a blended approach to create it. Original photo + AI crowd embellishment/generation + Photoshop 'corrections' is blatantly obvious in this case.
I don't care what the peanut gallery's campaign trail spin is or if the phonied up photo adds up to anything political one way or another. From a technical perspective, the image is a fail.

I don't care about unsubstantiated false claims of lying by the Harris campaign.
But you do when it's Trump?
It's ok. Elections have been reduced to spectator sports, where everyone has a team but no tangible contribution into how those teams are composed or perform.
In Kamala's case, she avoids reporters so she can't be pinned down to discuss her shared record with Biden, her lack of results in the One Job she was given to oversee as a project (the border), and her continued lack of a plan at her official candidate website.
Black voters are being asked what they expect from a Kamala presidency. The answers are troubling, because she's been in office for three and a half years as vice-president and yet no one knows her. It's like Chicago and NYC's citizens squawking loudly about illegal aliens, but still planning to vote Democrat. Trump has a plan and puts it before you, for better or worse. Kamala loads up on donation buttons, not substance, so whatever happens you paid for it -- even if it's to your detriment.
Go team.
Are you truly happy with the recent direction of the Democrat party? Do you truly think a Kamala presidency is the answer?
No tilting at windmills or transparent fishing. Just solid, thoughtful takes that did not suck.
Your time away served you well. Racks!

Ok Strawman but I can't unsee the huge crowd shown on live TV. If the tech has advanced to the point of being able to generate a loud, large, live crowd, then that is something.

You're fine with your candidate making sure she doesn't stray from a teleprompter, has so few issues that resonate she's now reduced to stealing Trump's oft repeated platform, she's now (in the past month) decided border agents are cool and need to be hired by the billions, she was idolized on the cover of Time mag quicker than Obama's joke Nobel, was unaware of Biden's brain rot until magically AFTER his debate debacle, etc. etc.
The 'crats have nothing the citizenry want so they manufacture 180 degree empty policy changes, and blatantly lie about the competition.
Melt on, it's entertaining.

This.
mvs keeps bringing it up and it doesn't get answered, the party is ruling by Star Chamber and it could become normalised. That's something to take very seriously if you like your view of democracy.

CNN: "What's on the vice president's schedule today?"
Kamala Spox: She's giving a speech on Friday.
CNN: "It seems like she has time if she wanted to do an interview with a member of the media or do a press conference."
Kamala Spox: She will at some point!
lol
She is an empty pantsuit.
I expect no interview from dolt the rest of this week.
Next week is the convention, so no interview then, either.
It's possible that her handlers will allow her to venture out for a very friendly interview somewhere the week of the 25th -- like on MSNBC or something.
The debate with Dump is on 9/10, so that might be the first time cringe actually has to think and respond on her feet in real time.
Should be entertaining!
She is completely overrated, and it will be evident at some point.
Right now the Dims are having a pleasant wet dream, but mommy soon knocks on the door and wakes them the hell up.
So sad.

Vice President Kamala Harris' team declined an interview with TIME as it continued to deny media access, according to the magazine's glowing cover story about her rise to the top of the Democratic ticket.
Harris has gone 22 days as of Monday without holding a formal press conference or sit-down interview since emerging as the Democratic Party's nominee after President Biden announced he had dropped out of the race. Both Biden and former President Trump sat down for lengthy interviews with TIME as candidates for president.

Hope she enjoys "her moment."
We had joy, we had fun
We had seasons in the sun
But the wine and the song
Like the seasons have all gone...
^^^ This exactly, Diego! Spot on! The rightwingers made the same complaints about Joe campaigning in his basement. All lies! Look at Joe now, he has been doing interviews non-stop and sounding cognizant and clear as ever. At the top of his game. To those who claimed he was parachuting to a doomsday decline are now eating their words! These are the same people who claim that Kamala can’t do an interview now. She just doesn’t feel like it and she has no need to. Her record of success speaks volumes. And all the things that Joe slipped up on (a very small list), she will clean up starting in January.
On top of that, need I repeat? She’s taken on perpetrators of all kinds. Predators who abused women. Fraudsters who ripped off consumers. Cheaters who broke the rules for their own gain. She knows Donald Trump’s type!

You conservatives are just like spoiled toddlers, stomping your feet and screaming until your faces turn blue about Kamala's lack of press engagement. But nothing is going to change until she's ready. So keep on kicking and screaming.
The Harris campaign is making this about Dump's fitness for the presidency. He's never been fit and he is rapidly decomposing before our very eyes every day. Seems like a pretty good strategy. So keep up your temper tantrum.
Poptart and the rest of the T1B conservatives VVVVVVVVVV
Listening to her for longer than 20 seconds is nauseating.
A historic situation has occurred.
The president, who had garnered delegates needed for the nomination, abruptly dropped out of the race.
The vice president, who obtained no votes (others did) and flamed out ingloriously in 2020, was suddenly granted status at the top of the Dim ticket.
In this case, going out for a handful of interviews should be a given.
The fact that she hasn't should be a wake up call for YOU.
But you and many other partisans on this board have a very hard time stepping back to look at things objectively.
This won't end well.

I have a feeling you’ll see a lot more of her during and after the convention, which starts on Monday. I’m not sure how that is going to pan out because the Democratic Party has a great talent for taking an advantageous situation and turning it around into a clusterfuck.

Seeing her is not the problem. Hearing her answer questions (even from the democrat controlled media) would be a switch.
What is it about hiding the presidential candidates in the last two elections that is so appealing? Fucking insanity. Hiding & cheating is no way to go through elections, son.

"Interviews" with Dump are less than worthless because his allergies to the truth reduce them to nothing but fascist propaganda vessels.

All I know is the Dems have poptart and the Trumpers rattled beyond belief.
The only vote that matters is on Nov. 5th.
If I were her I wouldn't do an interview. She is steamrolling the convicted felon. If it ain't broke... don't take another toke.
Keep the train rollin'.
Just win baby.

Is FOX considered “MSM?” Because, regardless of whether what you’re saying is true or not, the exact same thing could be said about their treatment of Trump. And it’s a lot more obvious.

I don’t watch any of those, so I don’t know. I thought he and Fox had a falling out way back.
I watch News Nation if I see any cable news. They trash both sides equally. And I try to catch Joy Reid once in a while on MSNBC for laughs.
Republican pollster Frank Luntz appears stunned at the current state of the Kamala Harris-Donald Trump matchup and this year’s presidential election.
Luntz, who’s been called “The Nostradamus of pollsters” and conducts focus groups, had been bullish on Trump defeating Joe Biden and returning to the White House. Now, he says, he can’t believe what he’s seeing among his focus groups and in the polls.
“She’s bringing out people who are not interested in voting for either Trump or Biden, so the entire electoral pool has changed and if it continues in this direction you have to start to consider Democrats winning the Senate and Democrats winning the House,” Luntz said Wednesday on CNBC.

Give me a break. Luntz is NOT a GOP pollster. He's a complete fool.
And completely unreliable.
Of course, that's why your party now gloms on to everything he says.
The electorate has not changed. Your beloved MSM would like everyone to THINK so.
