No video released yet but the right wing blog-sphere is already claiming it’s AI. Put on your seat-belts and keep your hands inside the car at all times.
I can all but guarantee that this won’t sway a single one of his voters. In fact, watch that this doesn’t get him even more support. They love circling the wagons when their beloved king is in trouble.
If anything it will give them permission to do it too.
Like this is going to be the thing that turns off the Maga’ts.
Probably turns some on tbh

If they want evidence of Trump abusing minors there is an Epstein case they might want to mention.
As someone who had to sit through a seemingly unending stream of videos of Biden sniffing hair etc, none of which were as damning as the people boosting them claimed, I really hope they either don’t release this, or it actually is what it claims to be, not some similar crap.
“Donald Trump loses his balance and accidentally makes contact with a girl’s butt” or similar ambiguous clip is probably not going to do anything except make me have to start ignoring videos of Biden sniffing hair again when magas start posting them in retaliation or whatever.
I loved the Biden sniffing hair videos!! They were so creepy but also funny. I was hoping he would keep doing it after he was president lol.
I also voted for Joe biden. Only because of the sniffing actually lol
Same with “Trump speaks slowly and closes his eyes for a couple seconds” being paraded around as him being ‘exhausted’ or even ‘sundowning’.
None of it could possibly sway voters, it’s just to make the voting base feel good about their choice of support.
“Closes his eyes for a couple seconds”? Yeah, Trump spending a half hour of his rally walking the stage aimlessly to music was probably just his whimsical side, not a sign that his mind is anything less than razor-sharp. Libs these days will exaggerate ANYTHING!
Even if he was dead on his feet, how does that change anything? The only people who care about the optics of it are libs who already find him gross and disturbed… It makes dems feel better about their candidate’s chances (“look, he’s tired and on the ropes, give him the haymaker!”). If anything, him being a tired sleepy old man undercuts their message that he’s a vindictive and dangerous fascist who’s losing touch with reality. It wouldn’t surprise me if his change in demeanor is an intentional choice to make him look more chill and reasonable.
You hear how republicans reacted to that town hall? They fucking loved it, they talk about it like it was a birthright trip or something.
Yes I agree it won’t change anything. Everybody is pretty much decided at this point, and the whole neck-and-neck race thing is basically clickbait for ads.
the whole neck-and-neck race thing is basically clickbait for ads.
Yea, I kinda hate that attitude, too, honestly. True enough that polls are already like trying to read tea-leaves, and there’s ample motivation to play games with the results to skew a particular way. But people tend to apply that analysis selectively so that they don’t have to confront the possibility their candidate/political calculations aren’t popular. When our media circles are being blasted with petty reporting about one candidate or the other taking a dookey on stage or whatever-the-fuck, it becomes increasingly difficult to keep expectations reasonably close to reality because you’re ignoring about half the signs and granting too much weight to the signs you actually do see.
The race is neck-and-neck, by just about any reasonable projection. But the margin of error is something like ±3/4%, and that’s assuming a healthy sample and is just a snapshot that is still weeks away from election day. A poll on the day of the election that has Harris -1 in Michigan could end up being Trump +3 or vice-versa, and that’s completely within the margin for that poll.
But if you’re not even hearing what’s being said on the opposite end of the spectrum, let alone actually trying to understand what’s being said, then you’re gonna be completely taken for a ride come nov 6. For 6 months after the election, analysts and most Americans will be scratching their heads trying to understand what happened (win or lose) because people just have no idea what the other half of the country is actually feeling. And when people are sure they had it right, and then have those expectations flipped on the day, that’s when you get people storming the capital or spending years prosecuting foreign interference that was completely out in the open the whole time.
But is it a bombshell? Most voters are already decided. Trump’s flock will ignore any bad news about him, and the rest won’t be convinced to vote for Harris any harder than they plan to or have already done. The vision being fed to us, of a nail-biting race seesawing back forth, is just clickbait for ads,
Stop doing work by trying to preempt the “does this matter though” argument for them?
They can get demoralized and stay home.
Certainly couldn’t be ruled out, but probably not to an extent that makes the news a “bombshell”.
His sycophants forgive any crime he commits. They will blame the minor not him.
They use the DARVO strategy: Deny, Attack, Reverse Victim and Offender. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/DARVO
So they will probably end up blaming the girl.
Riley: Oh, yes, the victim! At what point does personal responsibility become a factor in this equation?
Dubois: I don’t think that’s–
Riley: I see piss coming, I move.
Huey: mmm
Riley: She saw piss coming, she stayed.
Dubois: Yes, she did, but–
Riley: And why should I have to miss out on the next R. Kelly album! Just for that?!
Is this a transcript? Please tell me it isn’t.
It’s an excerpt from an episode of The Boondocks
It’s become relevant again as a fringe group of people are defending their favorites that got implicated in the diddy parties. At least this time it seems like much less people are on the offenders side, but maybe thats because there are so many offenders that the misplaced support is more distributed than when it was just R Kelly or just Bill Cosby.
It was the last episode of boondocks for many people.
Obviously a liberal sleeper agent
He’s bragged about doing it before. I don’t see how this would affect his popularity.
It isn’t, in fact despite the video not being released it’s already being “debunked” as AI on Far Right websites.
No, I don’t buy it. He’s awful. He’s a fascist. He has assaulted lots of women (when there were no cameras). I don’t believe he’d be this self-destructive at this moment when he needs to win to stay out of prison.
Oh, of course, doing that would be highly irrational. Asinine, even. Only a complete fucking idiot would do it. But you remember who we’re talking about, right?
Yes, but he’s rich, white, and feels entitled.
Don ‘grab em by the pussy’ dementia trump?
yeah I don’t buy it either. a) I don’t trust anything on TikTok b) Why is everyone talking about a video when a video doesn’t seem to exist? If it exists show it
May I introduce you to the last few months?
You’re just long at this one story with fresh eyes. Reasonably. Probably an indicator of sanity. So of course it doesn’t sound credible.
You don’t think the famously stupid person could do something stupid? I know it’s a stretch but cmon
Oh I think he’d do it. This is the same guy that keeps starting more grifts while he’s being prosecuted for previous ones.
As to whether he actually did it? Show me the video. But the first sentence is already enough for me not to vote for him.
This is just conspiratorial garbage. That article is garbage. I would love for something like this to take him down, but if you think this has any credibility, please realize that your ability to critically analyze new information is ridiculously clouded by confirmation bias.
It’s such a waste of time
“Without proof, claims of video of event exists”
And then it’s just random people on twitter
Did Charlie Kirk tweet that? If so, I’d believe it’s 100% for real and they’re trying to get out in front of it. Like many posters below point out, his base won’t care.
I have a hard time discerning if Kirk knows this, or if he’s just projecting after the Swift AI nonsense.
The tweet is vague. We’ve seen ai been used already in this election to spread misinformation, so it’s saying Democrats might do so could refer to literally anything.
But when put in the context of this supposed tape, it dishonestly makes it sound like they are talking about it.
Don’t get me wrong, I’d be happily wrong about this, but this is literally nothing right now.
The fact that the some of the most immoral spin-doctors that aren’t directly related to the Trump campaign – Posobiec and Kirk for starters – are clearly trying to get out in front of some sort of bad news that, based on their comments, appears to be a video grants more weight to claims than this random article.
That being said, whether there is actually a video or they’re reacting to the same rumored threat is unknown. Even if it were true, I honestly don’t know if it would make enough of a difference for Trump’s supporters. And, again if true, the longer they hold the video and allow advance spin and damage control to run unopposed, the less effect it will have. The simple fact is that Trump supporters would then be looking for any reason to simple dismiss/ignore it, and they will undoubtedly be given many reasons by affiliates of Trump’s campaign.
are clearly trying to get out in front of some sort of bad news that, based on their comments, appears to be a video grants more weight to claims than this random article.
This is a lot of assumptions. They are constantly saying Democrats are about to do something bad. It’s part of their shtick, and they are just trying to keep people afraid.
But even if we agree and they are clearly trying to get out in front of something that doesn’t make anything we put into that hole “has more weight.”
Trump spin-doctors are specifically referencing that democrats are going to release an “AI-generated” piece of media. I’m assuming that means they’re worried something might be released soon. That’s it, I’m not putting anything in a “hole,” I’m just waiting to see what they’re trying to get in front of.
We have two people, who often claim Democrats are about to do something bad, tweeting that Democrats are about to do something bad. This isn’t “clearly getting ahead of something” it could just be their typical fear mongering.
You also said that this “fact” gives the claim more weight, but it still could be referring to literally anything.
All we have is some “social media users” saying there is a tape and misleading via context claims that 2 of the hundreds of right wing spin doctors are vaguely referencing a video.
It’s absolutely nothing at this point
OK
Sure there’s video. There’s a pee tape too. Just like the tooth fairy and a politician that cares. They all exist.
This could actually get him more votes. After all, the GOP is the Party of Pedophila.
Grand Ole Pedophiles
They’re the party of “PEDOPHILES SHOULD BE KILLED, DEAD PEDOPHILES CAN’T REOFFEND, I HUNT PEDOPHILES, AND IT’S TOTALLY NORMAL AND NOT PROJECTION THAT I’VE MADE THIS MY ENTIRE IDENTITY.” Which is effectively the same thing but is slightly different.
PEDOPHILES SHOULD BE KILLED, DEAD PEDOPHILES CAN’T REOFFEND, I HUNT PEDOPHILES
Always weirds me the fuck out when I see this stuff. Like, my dude, pedophiles are quite universally reviled, even amongst hardcore criminals, why the hell do you feel the need to loudly signal this ?
You know why they feel the need to loudly signal it.
Yeah that is definitely a rhetorical question here
, why the hell do you feel the need to loudly signal this ?
Same reason they always do this: projection
Perhaps explains his seemingly defeated attitude recently. His canceling of multiple events. His comment at yesterday’s rally…
Trump: I realized our time is coming to an end. In many ways it’s sad. I’ve been doing this for 9 years.
I think Daddy Vladdy knows the polls are fake and Donald is terrified of the consequences for not coming through being nigh.
It never happened.
It’s AI.
She lied about her age.
Everyone would have done the same.
Actually pedophilia is OK now.
Mrrrmmm, ACKchyually, she’s over 15 so it’s EPHEBOphilia. They’re two very different things, thank you very much.
/s, kiddie diddling is kiddie diddling.
kiddie diddling is kiddie diddling.
Absolutely 100%. Taking advantage of a minor is wrong no matter what.
However, the word you used describes an attraction, not actual rape. And in that case there is a big difference because being attracted to mid to late teens, which is a perfect normal and healthy sexual attraction, and pedophilia, which is a disorder. This is the same science that confirms homosexuality and trans identity are perfectly normal, and rejecting this science is no different than rejecting that people can be gay and trans.
I know I’ll be piled on because of the pedophile panic that has gripped so many people, but I don’t care because I think it’s important for people to understand this. After watching the suffering of gay and trans people, first hand, being treated like deviants or that there is something wrong with them I can’t stand by while people treat other normal and healthy people as if they are fucked up. It’s not right.
People keep saying diddling is diddling, but then they still seem to get progressively more outraged as the age of the victim goes down. I think it’s normal to get more horrified the younger and more “innocent” the victim is. It doesn’t mean that raping a teenager is no big deal if you think raping an infant is an extra level of depraved.
Nah, you’re correct
Fucking spot on.
Ugh… I can practically hear the reddit leaking out of this comment.
Pssst… It’s not Reddit, it’s the people. The Reddit bullshit was what came from the admins. Everything else, the users and the mods, were just people being themselves.
No no no no. The last one isn’t true.
The rich can do whatever they please, that’s their right for being rich (/s).
He could eat then punt a baby on video and maga cultist wouldn’t care.
eat… And THEN punt??
Clearly you don’t eat the baby skull so it is left for punting.
Clearly you don’t eat babies! The whole point of eating babies is the skull comes apart.
Pff. Who brought the new guy right? It’s getting to the point you can’t have Sunday afternoon baby BBQ and skull football game anymore. Whats happened to us these last few years?
Yes, it makes no logical sense in this physical realm… and they still won’t question it
Is this that 5d chess I’ve heard so much about?
