    Seriously… name any service that you would trust a man this age and in this condition to perform for you besides helping you find a book at your local library (and even that is a stretch). We have a terribly broken political system.

    What about human taxidermy? What if he was taxidermied after his death, so his place can be uphold in the senate?

    I’m all about the inherent weirdness of his disappearance.

    However, It’s an attrocious shot with bad contrast, cropping and lighting and on another angles and expression. I still see more similarities than differences.

    This is seeking something there isn’t

    The Pedo-in-Chief hates disabled people being in his presence so this isn’t going to go over as well as the fuckhead Republicans think it will. He finds wheelchairs gross (which is funny coming from someone who looks like a sack of spoiled mayo and diarrhea).

    Age and poor health is the difference.

    (Someone needs to answer seriously, because too many people fall for this shit.)

      People don’t seem to realize that camera lens and lighting can vastly change the color, depth, and shape of your image. Most of the time if you see some differences in between two pictures of the same person it’s because they were taken with different lenses or under different lighting.

          Technically focal length doesn’t matter directly, only indirectly, because the phenomenon is almost entirely defined by the distance from the camera and the subject. If you have a 50mm lens and take the photo as far away as the 200mm lens, the person will look roughly the same when cropped down to the same apparent size (minus the loss of resolution from cropping and a smaller effective sensor size).

          If you slap on a 200mm lens on a camera within 2 meters of your subject, though, you might not be able to focus, and if you can you wouldn’t be able to fit their entire face in frame.

          But that also means our eyes, with our fixed focal lengths, can experience the same thing, by just moving closer or further away from a subject. Our visual cortex automatically adjusts a lot of things, but get up close and see someone’s ears or hair shrink in relative terms compared to their nose, or get far away and see their nose get back to a normal ratio to their eyes or ears.

          Side note, this is a big reason why I don’t care for selfies. I don’t like the distortion.

    Why do Americans insist on having old, decrepit, decaying people as their leaders?

      Why do we insist? Our propaganda seems to have worked on everyone, not just us.

      Our administration is more corrupt than the day is long, we didn’t choose this, in spite of the rhetoric having been spewed the last many years.

      We were forced here, by design, over a long period of time. We’re in the shitshow end game.

    It’s not hard to find an old ass looking turtle mofo.

    It took the US government 3 months or whatever.

    I can sell you a better version for pennies on the dollar (but he won’t behave like a worthless piece of shit, tho)
