Don't put yourselves out though. If I can't figure it out then that's my problem.
The kicker is that he did explain why he posted the pictures, right at the end of the original post.

I'm giving him a bonus point for the pun -- draw a crowd, get it?

But those pictures aren't photoshopped as far as I can tell.

It would be like if he posted a picture of an infirm woman being helped up some steps only to realize it's the Queen of England. Then you're just left scratching your head.

I realize you're getting all sorts of enjoyment out of this Max, but I don't feel like I was asking too much for an explanation. When someone doesn't understand something and asks for an explanation, the answer isn't "man he got you good, haha". Well not unless you're 12 I guess.

In any case, it looks like Rip screwed up in that he thought he was producing evidence of skullduggery when in fact there doesn't appear to be any. I'm still open to the idea that I'm just not very good at detecting photoshopped images, but it seems like we're past that.

This morning, Hillary Clinton was about to levitate off the ground and speak to the crowd while flying dozens of feet in the air above them.
Luckily a sharp eyed handler stepped in and held her down, before she could actually cause any alarm.

To be fair, I'm well known for being the most experienced 12-year-old this side of Jackson, Missouri. Oh, wait, were you trying to insult me?

At any rate, my point wasn't "He got you good" but rather that you weren't going to get anything like a deep and insightful answer. It was what it was -- a cheap allegation of liberal media bias, plucked wholesale from a well-known right-wing conspiracy factory.

But I did like the pun. :)

The other thing I've found with Rip is that he almost never responds to requests for clarification. Which may also have been driving people's comments. I'm surprised that he actually came back this time to address your question.

Fifty of them don't count since they're armed security for the gun grabber protecting her from us 2nd amendment people, oh and one is father of a dead terrorist who backs Killary of course. LMAO Does he count? So that leaves about fifty. :ninja: Sometimes, I like this one too.

I think five are there in case Hillary's medical problem, whatever it is exactly, rears its ugly head also.

So you think that there are only ~100 people in the second picture? I'd suggest that you get your vision checked, but I'm sure that in your "reality" there are that few people...

In my reality we might not even have man made global warming due to the number of people that would be absent. If they didn't straighten up, and fly right that is. :mrgreen:

But he had high cheekbones, like all of the Indians do. So he must be 1/64 Cherokee.

lol at South Dakota raking #46 out of 50 for "personal freedoms", but because it's #3 on "fiscal freedom" and #7 on "regulatory freedom" it thus makes the top 5 overall.

I liked the one with the clown, myself. Although I thought Stanley Kubrick's adaptation of The Shining actually transcended the source material in terms of narrative.

This was clearly rebutted by Snopes. Wait, I am mistaken. It wasn't. Maybe it was the Washington Post. Oh, no, it wasn't. In fact, it was the opposite.

Well, it's okay because after the articles helpfully pointed out the error in her statements, she admitted that she mis-spoke! All is explained, so nothing to see here.
