No video released yet but the right wing blog-sphere is already claiming it's AI. Put on your seat-belts and keep your hands inside the car at all times.

More like claims of a video that would have anyone with a brain to decide that Kamala Harris is the better candidate to vote for by November 5th.

Remember; this is who tankies look up to the most.

The loaded-diaper, child-molesting, fake-tanned e-coli maganet

[-] Furbag@lemmy.world 29 points 9 hours ago

I'd like to see the video first. Claims of a video are pretty meaningless. It's a lot like saying you have a concept of a plan.

Nevertheless, I hope it's not fucking true, because if it is true, that means some poor woman was victimized, will probably never get to see any justice because the legal system refuses to hold Trump accountable for anything, and it won't move the needle an inch in terms of the blind deference Republicans give to Trump.

[-] CileTheSane@lemmy.ca 9 points 6 hours ago

And the woman in the video will be endlessly harassed by the far-right extremists regardless of who took and released the video.

[-] bitjunkie@lemmy.world 12 points 9 hours ago

Child. Some poor child was sexually assaulted. We need to collectively stop with the mitigating language thing. We're not the fucking news media.

[-] NiHaDuncan@lemmy.world 1 points 6 hours ago

Also, the assumption that SA victim = female. The article only ever says minor and any gender can be a victim.

[-] nepenthes@lemmy.world 6 points 9 hours ago

I'm unfamiliar with this news site, but they must know they have to do better on sources, because this sounds like reporting on rumours.

"Several social media users, including commentators and reporters..." (emphasis mine).

Interesting that the right is already accusing them of potentially using deepfakes in the future. Maybe they know of something captured in video, or maybe random blanket statements of innocence are necessary with a knob end like Trump.

I also hope no one was victimized.

"bombshell"

shut the fuck up already.

[-] Snowpix@lemmy.ca 4 points 3 hours ago

You really SLAMMED that news organization!

[-] electricyarn@lemmy.world 3 points 2 hours ago

OUTRAGE as journalism is Trashed for hyperbole.

[-] HelixDab2@lemm.ee 8 points 10 hours ago

That's... Interesting. This site is considered to have a significant right bias, but it's still reporting on these claims, and seems to give them credibility. OTOH, Times Now News has a very mixed record on facts, so this might be total bullshit.

We'll see what happens. If it's real, and it comes out with a week left before the election, that might be just enough to tip the scales. Maybe.

[-] paddirn@lemmy.world 14 points 10 hours ago

Doubtful, GOP was perfectly willing to vote for a pedophile before, this is literally nothing to them.

[-] HelixDab2@lemm.ee 3 points 9 hours ago

I'm thinking of the voters that are at the margins, not his core demographic. I agree that MAGAs are going to be unswayed no matter what. But there are def. voters that are thinking about personal finances, and think Trump will be better for their wallet (spoiler: he wouldn't be), and you might be able to peel them off if something really gross came out just before they voted. Or peel enough of them off to make a difference.

[-] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 21 points 21 hours ago

The stupid incels will vote for this fucker even harder now.

[-] werefreeatlast@lemmy.world 8 points 19 hours ago

You can hear the evangelical church thinking about the arguments.... groping is not rape! Yeah! Groping isn't rape!

[-] dirthawker0@lemmy.world 7 points 9 hours ago

He's already been judged a rapist, if they supported him after E Jean Carroll this new allegation isn't going to change their minds

[-] inclementimmigrant@lemmy.world 35 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

This fascist POS was literally found to be a credible sexual abuser and it did nothing.

This too, if proven true, will also do nothing because Republicans endorse this type of behavior.

[-] bitjunkie@lemmy.world 3 points 9 hours ago

I wouldn't say it did nothing. Two of his former devouts did try to kill him.

[-] Walk_blesseD@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 2 hours ago

Third time's the charm…

[-] Gammelfisch@lemmy.world 10 points 20 hours ago

The fucked up racist MAGATs will still vote for the sick Russian run Orange Shit Stain.

[-] Rhoeri@lemmy.world 28 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

I can all but guarantee that this won’t sway a single one of his voters. In fact, watch that this doesn’t get him even more support. They love circling the wagons when their beloved king is in trouble.

If they want evidence of Trump abusing minors there is an Epstein case they might want to mention.

Like this is going to be the thing that turns off the Maga'ts.

[-] Raiderkev@lemmy.world 4 points 21 hours ago

They're clearly going to say it's fake n that Hillary n Obama are the real sex offenders

[-] Daikusa@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago

Probably turns some on tbh

[-] bitjunkie@lemmy.world 2 points 9 hours ago

I'd go further than "some" honestly

[-] octopus_ink@lemmy.ml 50 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

As someone who had to sit through a seemingly unending stream of videos of Biden sniffing hair etc, none of which were as damning as the people boosting them claimed, I really hope they either don't release this, or it actually is what it claims to be, not some similar crap.

"Donald Trump loses his balance and accidentally makes contact with a girl's butt" or similar ambiguous clip is probably not going to do anything except make me have to start ignoring videos of Biden sniffing hair again when magas start posting them in retaliation or whatever.

His sycophants forgive any crime he commits. They will blame the minor not him.

[-] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 9 hours ago

Oh no, they don't forgive. They don't allow it to get that far. They ignore the crime completely and will tell you it straight up never happened
