GOP lawmaker shredded for posting AI images of himself beating up Santa on Christmas
(www.independent.co.uk)
... I mean, it's a war on the commercialisation of christmas, as opposed to its religious source...
although St Nicholas, whom Santa (saint) claus is based, is a... saint.
Christmas isn't Christan at all. It's all older traditions that the sick Yahweh cult inserted itself into.
I already made a boondocks / saturnalia comment a while back
Unfortunately, he was not actually run through an industrial shredder
Feet first.
I don’t understand what he was trying to accomplish. Like simply: why? Is it cause Santa is a commie or something for being generous?
Attention whoring
Well, he gives away toys out of kindless and live for childhood innocence.....
So he is at least anti-capitalism....
funny that the rest of the holiday is all capitalism.
Isn't it the way the best propaganda should work, stating the exact opposite of what is happening in reality?
People like this are what the current slate of Republicanism is breeding, I guess. Nobody asking them for anything and they bust this shit out with no reason other than just trying to be a shithead to get people to react so they can call them snowflakes.
Sun rising in the morning? Woke.
Santa Claus? Woke.
Jesus Christ? woke.
Everything is woke to modern republicans. If somebody invented a virus that made people slightly more compassionate they would hide indoors for the rest of their lives.
Hmm. Maybe somebody should get on that.
And yet if the virus dropped your IQ by 20 points they would be holding super spreader events
Man, the one time it was appropriate to use slammed in a headline…
Journalists seem like they forgot how to use a thesaurus. You don't always have to have a different headline than others, sometimes the same words are the right words.
The only thing this jack off beats is his tiny dick.
Probably his wife and children, too.
And I wouldn't be too surprised if occasionally he goes out to recreationally hunt the homeless.
Is this the new "War on Christmas?"
Free stuff is SOCIALISM!
He should do Jesus next.
That guy? He wasn't even born here. Off to CECOT he goes....
Is this the new Slammed?
One shred is equivalent to three slams.
Buy buy buy!
Isn't this the guy who pussied out from a fight with a union boss?
This is the sort of behavior opposition would post. What on earth would possess someone to post this themselves?
I've seen photoshop images more realistic than this. These aren't even the usual uncanny AI that creeps people out.
Oh, and it's idiotic, but that's self-evident.
I'm wondering the same. Like was it really some standard cut and paste work and then some generative fill? It's got a certain 00s vintage look to it like it's not current interpretations of "AI" with text prompt input.
I can’t pick the funniest aspect here, but the sleeveless shirt and jacket deserve a mention.
Sadly, he was not literally shredded.
Shredded you say.
You might even say slammed.
designing with my kids,
Wtf
