Bolton is a well known interventionist. That is why everyone is losing their cookies over Trump picking him.
He always turns up like a bad penny.

There needs to be a new term for Trump's brand of policy. Maybe "narcissalationism." Which means if you're not Trump we're either going to wall you off, tell you to fuck off, or blow you up.
FTFY

A couple clips away from that one, I bumped into this.

This Twitter account is very funny. Dungeons and Donalds.
I love the guy on the back left with his point-and-shoot amidst all the pro gear.

That could be a $1200 mirrorless camera which might even be getting a better shot than all those people in the scrum getting jostled and bumped while trying to take pics with their $3K DSLRs.

One thing is certain: John Cusack plays Michael Cohen in the movie.
The problem here is that Pence has been in Peru this whole time.
And that's a problem because...

Because they're implying that photo is from the last day or two, but it shows Pence sitting next to Trump. Either they perfected hologram tech, or it's an old photo. It's the constant grind of easy to verify lies and misleading that are tiring, because it shows that either they're too dumb to notice, or they assume their audience is.

As someone in that thread pointed out:
1. Pence was in Peru (not discussing Syria with POTUS)
2. @PressSec would not be allowed in the situation room during conflict
3. This picture is NOT THE SITUATION ROOM
Not that it won't stop the Deplorables from screaming FAKE NEWS when any of those things are pointed out.

Ah. I thought that was John Kelly next to Trump. Faces are hard...

Yeah, I had to zoom way in to verify it was Pence.

Yeah, I took another look and realized that Kelly (or, Kelly's name card on the table at least) was actually seated across the table from Sanders. I have to wonder if the seating arrangement at that meeting, whenever it occurred, was a deliberate snub to him. I'd expect the Chief of Staff to be near the head of the table, not one step removed from the peanut gallery.

Fortunately with a little bit of sleuthing you can find a real photo of the meeting in which Syria was discussed.

In typical Huckabeast fashion, she worded it with just enough ambiguity to be able to screech “FAKE NEWS, MEDIA IS EVIL” when she gets called on it.
I’m reasonably sure that was exactly the intent.

Assume? They have verifiable proof that the portion of the audience they care about really is that stupid.

Late night hosts are clearly enjoying the Hannity revelation.
What does the future of fake news look like? No one really knows, but here’s a little sampler from Jordan Peele and BuzzFeed, who teamed up to make the above PSA. Using some of the latest AI techniques, Peele ventriloquizes Barack Obama, having him voice his opinion on Black Panther (“Killmonger was right”) and call President Donald Trump “a total and complete dipshit.”
The video was made by Peele’s production company using a combination of old and new technology: Adobe After Effects and the AI face-swapping tool FakeApp. The latter is the most prominent example of how AI can facilitate the creation of photorealistic fake videos. It started life on Reddit as a tool for making fake celebrity porn, but it has since become a worrying symbol of the power of AI to generate misinformation and fake news.
Yes, we’ve had software to create fakes for a while, but AI makes the whole process easier. Researchers have developed tools that let you perform face swaps like the one above in real time; Adobe is creating a “Photoshop for audio” that lets you edit dialogue as easily as a photo; and a Canadian startup named Lyrebird offers a service that lets you fake someone else’s voice with just a few minutes of audio. Technologist Aviv Ovadya summed up the fears created by this tech, asking BuzzFeed News, “What happens when anyone can make it appear as if anything has happened, regardless of whether or not it did?”

Yeah, this tech is terrifying. We already can't agree on basic facts. What's going to happen when you legitimately can't trust anything you see or hear?

We'll make a game show out of it and pit contestants in a life or death struggle against larger-than-life stalkers in a vast urban arena!
