“MS Paint? That sounds an awful lot like MS-13! Off to the El Salvador gulag with you, terrorist scum!”

If they wanted to indicate a translation for the symbols, they could have done so off of the part of the image consisting of the hand. Trump said verbatim “he’s got MS-13 tattooed onto his knuckles”. Not symbols for MS-13, the phrase itself. Additionally, the real tattoos are clearly not on the knuckles, but the photoshopped letters are. Trump believes the photoshopped letters are actual tattoos and/or wants to convince people of it.

Here’s a closeup of the image

A Nigerian prince puts more effort into fooling people.

I think my grandma’s eternal obsession with Elvis Presley, plus some of her other social quirks like coercibility, would be seen as reflective of autism by a professional diagnosis

Thank you for thinking for me. I was afraid of doing that for myself.

(I get that your comment is tongue-in-cheek, not sure everyone else will)

You think of this post as politics rather than, say, celebrity drama or movie studio drama?

The spam DMs are real, but I think the “reposts” are scuttlebutt based on people not understanding the screenshots of the DMs that they’ve seen in their feed

I think that is the general consensus — that she is likely an unwitting victim

Repost bots? Do you have an example, either by way of link or screenshot?

Only photos and written info that could identify her. The spam accounts probably get banned as they reported. I don’t know of any posts made by any account claiming to be her?

Pull one of these bad boys on him

In the USA, they just become organized peddlers of bigotry and misinformation to take away people’s rights

Not an American tourist this time

Don’t characterize him as insane. Characterize him and his ilk as calculated psychopaths. Do not let them get away with an insanity defense at the next Nuremberg Trials.

All US paper money is invalid because the Treasurer and Secretary of the Treasury did not actually sign in pen on each bill

Obviously, this horrendous and fascist (par for the course). I think there is also a subtle insidious layer to this that would imply stripping all dissidents of their gun rights, therein stifling rebellion.

It means that humans developed empathy and the scientific means to help each other avoid natural selection. Intraspecies and interspecies empathy is the cheat code against natural selection. Certain ram species, for example, also were not designed intelligently, so as they age they may grow their horns until they penetrate their skull and kill them. Natural selection is most effective when it culls prior to the life form procreating. However, thanks to the power of empathy, we can abate natural selection by performing oral surgery on humans (ideally in our adolescence for wisdom teeth removal) and by shaving rams’ horns as they age. Ideally, as science develops and empathy spreads, we can come up with more effective and painless means to ensure everybody has a chance to live and be happy.

Apparently, Reddit has started mega-censoring anything even slightly inciting of violence, ranging from comments saying “F Trump” or just the word “Luigi”, as well as banning users just for upvoting this content.

Woody Guthrie famously had written on his guitar “This machine kills fascists”.
