Insane Reds Launch AI Ad

Engadget reported:

It's not difficult to imagine AI-generated images depicting outright falsehoods in attack ads. 

ABC News Denver noted that lying is political ads is common.

"There's nothing that says that you can't stretch the truth with regard to political advertising.”

Ethics, principles and core faith beliefs suggest otherwise.  Those things seem to be sorely lacking in a win at all cost political system.  It's the Insane Reds vs. the Blue Lucys.

Update:  Toothless elected officials are yet to reign in AI.  Scammers are using it to impersonate a relative's voice.  

Update 5-4-23:  The State of Texas is after an AI crypto scam.  A young woman pleaded for others to stop using AI to make her clothed pictures posted online into pornography.

The Biden administration plans to reign in AI by forming seven new national AI research institutes.  That's a classic Blue Lucy yank the football move on behalf of the AI industry.  Citizens get to swing and miss.  Can't wait to see it in an AI video.

Update 5-14-23:  Our elected leaders sit on their hands while the world's ethics disappear into a digital cesspool.

Sophisticated generative AI tools can now create cloned human voices and hyper-realistic images, videos and audio in seconds, at minimal cost. When strapped to powerful social media algorithms, this fake and digitally created content can spread far and fast and target highly specific audiences, potentially taking campaign dirty tricks to a new low.

The implications for the 2024 campaigns and elections are as large as they are troubling: Generative AI can not only rapidly produce targeted campaign emails, texts or videos, it also could be used to mislead voters, impersonate candidates and undermine elections on a scale and at a speed not yet seen.

Red Team Rises to Defend Supreme Billionaire's "Garden of Evil"


Insider
reported a number of Red Team Senators defended billionaire Harlan Crow's predilections.

Crow's collection includes two of Hitler's paintings, a signed copy of Mein Kampf, the fascist dictator's 1925 manifesto, other Nazi trinkets, and a garden filled with statues of some of the most reviled leaders from the 20th Century.

His backyard includes a so-called "Garden of Evil," including busts and statues of infamous dictators ranging from Joseph Stalin and Vladimir Lenin to Fidel Castro and Josip Tito.

Crow became more widely known for his generous hospitality to Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas and his wife Ginni.  The two had a number of real estate transactions, as well.  Thomas' mother lives rent free in a Crow owned home.

Vibrant, competent democratic institutions can be corrupted by evil people.  I would rather hear warnings from U.S. Senators in that regard.

Update 5-4-23:  The Insane Red Team's Senator Josh Hawley claimed the Blue Lucy's are intimidating the Supreme Court by raising ethics issues and actually setting a standard.

Billionaire Harlan Crow paid the private school tuition for Clarence Thomas' grand nephew, estimated to be over $150,000.  Thomas is raising the relative as a son.

Update 5-7-23:  Former Trump advisor Kellyanne Conway defended the insider money funnel that secretly steered $100,000 to Judge Clarence Thomas' wife Ginni.

Update 7-2-23:  In striking down affirmative action in college admissions Judge Thomas expressed his vision for a "colorblind Constitution."  Our founding document counted slaves as three-fifths of a person.  Thomas Jefferson, author of the Declaration of Independence, used his slaves a collateral for a loan.  He was the first to do so.  That is our history.

Rewriting the Insanity


The Insane Reds are putting on a full court press to persuade Americans that they are just Red, i.e. not Insane.

House Republicans can be seen as working steadily but intently to distort the facts of the deadly riot, which played out for the world to see when Donald Trump's supporters laid siege to the Capitol, and in the process downplay the risk of domestic extremism in the U.S.

The NY Post issued a warning about the dangers of Donald Trump in an editorial.

“Time and time again, Trump’s responses have been unhinged ... and self-defeating,” it continued, adding that “Trump is not trying to make America a better place” but just seeking “revenge.”
The AP reported on Trump's rally this evening in Waco, Texas where the government took on David Koresh's Branch Davidian cult.

...Trump has berated prosecutors, encouraged protests and raised the prospect of possible violence should he become the first former president in U.S. history to face criminal charges. Some of his recent rhetoric has echoed language he used before the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection at the U.S. Capitol by a mob of his supporters seeking to stop the transfer of power...

“What kind of person can charge another person, in this case a former President of the United States ... and leading candidate (by far!) for the Republican Party nomination, with a Crime, when it is known by all that NO Crime has been committed, & also known that potential death & destruction in such a false charge could be catastrophic for our Country?” 
What kind of person uses blatant lies to incite an insurrection on a fully occupied U.S. Capital and insult the appearance of the people who answered his call for violence?  

Trump’s political machine raked in at least $50 million in the six months that followed the Jan. 6 Capitol riot
Trump will be judged for his self centered, self absorbed actions which continue to harm our country.  

Law has no bearing on his decisions.  It is hard to discern Christian teachings in his behavior.  But Trump clearly knows how to manipulate people, especially conservative Christians.  If judgement doesn't occur on this plane it will occur.  He and the Insane Reds have much for which to atone.


Many independent voters want a Trump-less ballot in 2024.  Please Lord, make a way for that to happen. 

Update 3-26-23:  Trump's dangerous "lie filled" rhetoric could easily incite more violence.

Update 4-29-23:  Trump sought out a QANUT follower who believes every member of Congress who voted to certify the 2020 election should be executed. 

Update 6-18-23:  The insanity of Jan. 6th is almost rewritten.  It's the Insane Red Team version of events.

Insane Reds Planning for Default


 Insider reported:

As the US creeps ever closer to a devastating debt default, which would immediately spiral the country and likely the world into a financial crisis, Republicans aren't preparing to negotiate — they're preparing emergency measures.

The plan to deal with a U.S. government default is actually called the "Default Prevention Act."  In practice it is the "Default Implementation Act." 

Can independent voters get some sane, non-jerk  adults in Washington D.C.? 

Update 3-13-23:  Default should go over real well after three bank failures in the last week.

Update 4-3-23:  "A new Republican majority in the House is itching for a spending showdown, and determined not to yield."  The clown car is loaded and soon may spill America's debt rating all over the highway. 

Update 4-19-23:   There are a few sane, non-jerk adults in the House as 32 Republicans and 32 Democrats "called for suspending the debt ceiling through Dec. 31, 2023, and proceeding with the typical budget and appropriations cycle to remove immediate pressure of defaulting on our national debt." 

Update 5-3-23:  It's sad we have to go through this nonsense yet again.  Financial consequences could be catastrophic. 

Update 5-7-23:  Red Team Senator Mitt Romney suggested it is time to get to work on passing debt increase legislation.  That requires bipartisanship which neither party seems interested in.

Update 5-14-23:   Virtually all business leaders and most citizens want the U.S. not to default on its obligations.  What's different this time?  Titular head of the Insane Reds and chaos agent Donald Trump wants to "try it."  As usual elected officials will ignore widespread public opinion so they can play "I win/ you lose."

Update 5-20-23:  Trump said Insane Reds should get everything they want in order to vote to raise debt ceiling.  During the Trump administration Congressional Republicans voted multiple times to lift the debt ceiling without spending cuts.  "Do as I say not as I did."

Update 5-21-23:  Red Team Rep. Jodey Arrington neglected to reveal how many times he voted for a debt increase under the Trump presidency as he spouted nonsense on a ABC's This Morning.  The Insane Reds' titular leader wants a default.  Donald Trump is a nasty person, ethically and morally bankrupt.

Update 5-25-23:  Insane Red Team Rep. Matt Gaetz lauded his party holding the U.S. economy "hostage" over debt ceiling negotiations.  Lawmakers plan to leave town without a deal.  Fitch and DBRS placed the U.S. on a negative credit watch.  Despite these developments Wharton Professor Jeremy Siegel says there is zero chance of default.  Trump wants to "try it" in another one of his "burn it down" moves.  Insane Red Kevin McCarthy blamed the Blue Lucys for not passing a debt ceiling increase before he came into power as House Speaker.  Cracker Barbie Marjorie Taylor Greene said Americans don't care about missing a Social Security check.  She said the Insane Reds aren't sweating the least bit.

Update 5-27-23:  Warren Buffett warned that not raising the debt ceiling might be Congress' most idiotic move ever.

Update 5-28-23:  With a new deadline of June 5th the Biden-McCarthy negotiating team reached a deal.  Congress has to pass it and send it to the White House. 

Update 8-3-23:  Fitch ratings downgraded U.S. debt to AA+ from AAA.  The next government shutdown could occur at the end of September as Congress plans to take a month off and not return until after Labor Day. 

Update 9-13-23:  A former House leader has advice for those pushing a government shutdown.

Divorced Greene Suggests U.S. Do Same


Insane Red Team member Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene is fresh off a divorce from her husband.  It became final before Christmas 2022. 

Greene is proposing this same solution to the biennial competition for votes between the Insane Reds (Republicans) and Blue Lucys (Democrats).   She wants our nation to split to please the extremes, ignoring the majority of people in the middle.

Very conservative - 14%

Very liberal - 9%

Add Marjorie to the "please stop" crowd, i.e. don't run again for office.  Trump, Biden and Greene.  Go away.

Update 3-9-23:  Child marriages remain legal in West Virginia after Red Team legislators defeated a bill banning marriages involving minors.

Update 5-17-23:  Rep. Lauren Boebert joins Greene in filing for divorce from her longtime husband due to irreconcilable differences.  Her "chasing Jesus" advice for struggling wives did not work for Boebert.

Update 6-14-23:  Insane Red Rep. Greene is not interested in her staff being knowledgeable about CDC's drug side effect monitoring program.

Political Props Backfire

 "It's just an innocent balloon."

Pennywise uses its Deadlights to break a person's mind because one look at the Deadlights will make a person go insane due to it not being able to be comprehended by a human mind.

And that's why patriot Marjorie Taylor Greene sought a Presidential pardon for her actions leading up to the January 6th insurrection.   


And that's why serial fraudster George Santos landed a center aisle seat for the State of the Union address.  The Insane Red Team could have banished him to the upper deck.  Instead they foisted their political con to center stage.

Marjorie's evil clown balloon and New York's fake Congressman both flopped yesterday.  The Insane Red Team is on a roll.  

Update 2-9-23:  The Insane Red Team had a whole hearing backfire on them.  

The Trump administration and its allied Republicans in Congress routinely asked Twitter to take down posts they objected to — the exact behavior that they’re claiming makes President Biden, the Democrats, and Twitter complicit in an anti-free speech conspiracy to muzzle conservatives online.
