Official White House Twitter account posts AI slop American flag with only 11 stripes.

I know the comparisons are exhausted, but come on: Just imagine the months of Fox News outrage and GOP congressional subpoenas and hearings if Biden, Obama, or Hillary had posted an 11-strip US flag on the official White House social media accounts….

5. AI slop is stupid, period. It should all be condemned, both as fake art and as a slap at all the real artists

and photographers whose work was stolen to train the AI.

AI slop art is good only as an example of how unethical and exploitative this administration and the AI bros aligned with it are.

Dems could make very solid arguments against the Trump regime's love of AI slop - but not unless they also steer clear of slop.

It takes Trump to have to think there was something honorable about Hitler.

9. He was also a better artist, even though the Vienna Academy of Fine Arts turned him down.

Maybe if Hitler had been able to go to art school WWII wouldn't have happened. Maybe if Trump had been accepted by New York society instead of rejected as a boorish parvenu...

14. Have you ever seen "Max"? It's a 2002 movie w/John Cusak as an art dealer who meets aspiring artist Adolph Hitler

Not a really happy movie, but it was interesting.

Respect for the flag was part of the deal and respect for the flag has no political slant.

I support people's right to treat the flag however they want and even burn it, but it still just grinds my gears to see it desecrated hanging off the back of vehicles or flown at night without illumination. The people obsessed with putting the flag everywhere don't have a clue about flag code.

18. There's a Rightwinger in my neighborhood

Drives a giant truck with a bad muffler with a Jesus Is Lord sticker 12 inches high on the tailgate. He drives around with a flag poll and American flag hanging off the back of it. The flag is tattered and filthy. Really surprised some veteran hasn't stopped him and set him straight on how to treat the flag.
