Trumps inauguration pictures now officially fake news

A GOVERNMENT photographer admitted to editing official pictures of Donald Trump’s inauguration to make the crowd appear bigger, following intervention from the president himself, according to newly released federal documents.

The US Interior Department records, obtained by the Guardian under the Freedom of Information Act, confirm that the photographer cropped out empty space “where the crowd ended” after Mr Trump complained to the National Park Service (NPS) that his audience appeared smaller than Barack Obama’s in 2009.
The unearthed records are part of an Interior Department Inspector General investigation into the inauguration ordeal, which became the first fiasco of Mr Trump’s beleaguered presidency when the White House notoriously and inaccurately claimed Mr Trump had attracted the biggest ever inauguration audience.

Are you joking or do you consider cropped photos as faked?

Are you joking or do you consider cropped photos as faked?

Did you read the bulk of the post that you cropped from your quote?

Are you happy with the American government engaging in Soviet/tin pot dictator levels of propaganda?

My opinion would be considered a derail.

 

[Sideroxylon]

My opinion would be considered a derail.

I would have thought the disturbing levels of propaganda driven by and supporting Trump was eminently on topic.

Good one. Think I'll nom it.

"The Dems have tried every trick in the playbook-call me everything under the sun. But if I’m all of those terrible things, how come I beat them so badly, 306-223? Maybe they’re just not very good! The fact is they are going CRAZY only because they know they can’t beat me in 2020!"



"Republicans are doing really well with the Senate Midterms. Races that we were not even thinking about winning are now very close, or even leading. Election night will be very interesting indeed!"

He's done more for black people than any other President in our lifetime. While others may stab him in the back, we will always have his back!"

The name is what matters. It is the same party.

Another example of why no one takes you seriously.

Congratulations on your purely arbitrary choice.

I'm sure it's based on some sort of made-up "principle".

If the cropping to is done to make it appear the crowd size was bigger than it was then yes, fake would cover it. The photographer altered the photo to show something other than what happened. Seems pretty clear.

... yet Democrats call for impeachment every day....

I don't see that at all. Not only Pelosi, as you mentioned, but other Dems have stated that impeachment is not a priority of the Dems.

Also, on the blogs I follow, I don't see calls for impeachment. So I want to ask *where* you see such calls on a daily basis?

50 years is a small length of time.

In the political arena, a common refrain is that a month is a long time. 50 years is prehistoric.

 

[Mumbles]

I should apologize to you Mumbles. I really failed to read your post first. I went back and reread your post and now feel like an idiot for mine. Something in your post kicked me off...perhaps the first sentence. But I blew it.

Again, we're fine. I think it's not needed, but I'll accept you apology.

One of these days, I'll look into those two.

Primarily I'd like to know which one is Diamond, and .which one is Silk.

For now, just know that they're getting paid. for this.

I think there is a difference between optical illusion and an actual alteration. If you put the cropped photo next to the uncropped photo, it would still have the exact same number of people. It would also still have enough reference points to determine dimensions.

It's in the persecution complex, lower level. Outside the echo chamber, you can't miss it.

It is on topic. My opinion of it is not.

"Senate Minority Leader Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) revealed Democrat plans for next year at a Labor Day parade on Monday when he, using a bullhorn, told a crowd member that he and Democrats intend to impeach President Donald Trump should they gain control of the Congress.

"The comments by Schumer are, to date, the most significant and open pledge that Democrats intend to impeach Trump on day one of a Democrat-controlled Congress.

“When are you going to impeach Trump? a man shouted as Schumer walked by, carrying a bullhorn.

“The sooner the better! the Senate minority leader fired back."
