The GQP Thread: I'm even sick of that fuck's number and, anyway, he's gone (for now)

Yeesh they admitted to darkening it...

Something about the neck just doesn't seem right though.

As an amateur Photoshop specialist.... everything looks on the up and up on the original photo. As for it's use in the campaign video, it appears that the photo was darkened, increased saturation, and increased contrast to make it "pop" more than the washed out original. Whoever touched it up may have just adjusted the face so it wasn't as dark, high contrast, and saturated as the rest of the photo.


I see no malice at all.

We need to do this. Start with the GQP.

First off, we'd need to stop pussyfooting around and actually ban these groups. Then we could prosecute members of those groups.

But until then, people like Andy Ngo, Baked Alaska, and the like are just dismissed with a hand wave.



By the way, could Biden just use the Third Force Act? Asking for a friend...
 
What else can one say?

Ironic that this clear statement of what is at stake comes from ISW, a historical purveyor of the very poison we are now rejecting. But this is it, in a nutshell: the Russo Ukraine War is a war of humanity against the Right. Violent, cowardly authoritarianism is sweeping through the world. Humanity must annihilate it. Whether it is Putin and Le Pen and Modi and Bolsanaro or Dump and DeSantis and Hawley and Cotton.

Humanity should annihilate the right. It won't because too many of us who would like to see it annihilated are too quick to dismiss out of hand what will really be necessary TO annihilate it. Instead we try to do things the "right" way, and this happens.

A jury on Friday acquitted two men of all charges in a plot to kidnap Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer but couldn’t reach verdicts against the two alleged leaders, a stunning defeat for the government after a weekslong trial that centered on a remarkable FBI sting operation just before the 2020 election. Whitmer did not immediately comment on the outcome, though her chief of staff was critical, saying Americans are “living through the normalization of political violence.”

Or we tell people voting is the answer and this happens.

The court’s decision in the Wisconsin case was the latest in a series of rulings that have left little pretense of how aggressively it is trying to weaken section 2 of the Voting Rights Act (VRA), the most powerful provision of the law, which outlaws racially discriminatory voting practices.

Violent, cowardly authoritarianism can be eliminated if we treat those who practice it like the rabid dogs they are. When more of us realize that the rules have prevented us from succeeding it will be too late. I will believe until the end of my days had we mowed down in a hail of gunfire every last swing dick that was invading the Capitol building on 1-6-21 it would have done more good than all the Supreme Court cases or criminal trials of fascists and insurrectionists combined.
