The question is when it's out in the open that he died and the government is proven to have used a generated image to lie....
What will happen? Consequences? Doubt.
He's passed on! This senator is no more! He has ceased to be! He's expired and gone to meet his maker! He's a stiff! Bereft of life, he rests in peace! If they hadn't nailed him to the hospital bed he'd be pushing up the daisies! His metabolic processes are now history! He's off the twig! He's kicked the bucket, he's shuffled off his mortal coil, run down the curtain and joined the choir invisible!! HE IS AN EX-SENATOR!!
Well, we'd better replace it, then.
Sorry squire, I've had a look 'round the back of the shop, and uh, we're right out of Senators.
...
I got a ~~slug~~ turtle?
All I know is that if I stopped showing up to work for this long and there was this much doubt as to my state of being, my access and accounts would for sure be shut off and my paychecks would stop coming.
This is exactly like the people saying “is Trump a pedo? I’m not sure?!” Yes you are. He’s a pedo. And Mcconell is dead.
Americans needs to stop playing into fascists little games. You’re looking at a puzzle missing one piece and you’re all pretending you can’t figure out what it’s depicting.
He's dead. They're testing how willing the public is to believe their AI is a person.
Well I wasn't all that convinced he was a person before, so...
This is a trial run for how long they can run AI Trump once he finally shits himself to death lol.
The explaination will come after they buy more tokens.
They sent out the following proof of life pic:
Even IF we assume that it's genuine, the left side of his face is severely drooping and his wife seems to have to hold him up on the same side. Both indicators of paralysis of the entire left side of his body, likely due to a massive stroke.
I'm no geologist, but in my strictly non-electrician estimation, it's extremely unlikely that a stroke that bad doesn't leave him too cognitively impaired to adequately do his job of evaluating and deciding matters of the utmost importance for 340 million people.
I'm not licensed to teach judo, though.
I'm calling BS on that picture. If he's in a long term hospital stay he is going to be in a gown, he's going to have a medical bracelet, an IV, possibly oxygen and he's going to look like hot shit because no one who has been in the hospital looks good even when they are on the road to recovery. The man isn't even wearing a pulseox. If you've ever gone through it with a loved one, you know exactly what I'm talking about. So either they shoved a sick old man in jeans in a button down for a photo op (doubt) or that photo is fake as fuck. I also find the tag being on the outside of that button down shirt suspicious as fuck in an AI is stupid kind of way.

Not that I don't agree with your general point and conclusion (I do), but the Republican propaganda ghouls would ABSOLUTELY do that.
Oh I agree, but the nursing staff in most ICUs are pretty good about shutting that kind of shit down.
A lot of those usual standards and practices go completely out the window when people this powerful show up at the hospital's door. They're not relying on the ordinary hospital security, for example. When a nurse tells them to stop, but an FBI or Secret Service agent commands them to not interfere, how many nurses would try to stand up to the feds? And even if they did, they would just be immediately escorted out of the room.
These people do not live in the same world you and I do.
Good point
The tag is normal. I have shirts with the tag like that.
I personally suspect they photo oped a (barely) living corpse. Likely with a good dose of drugs to have him cognitive enough to sit up for a few minutes before wearing off.
If it's AI, then it's a minor (but critical) modification to an existing picture. Not one created fully. It's a lot easier to cover its mistakes when it's limited in scope.
Yeah, AI generating from scratch is far more error-prone than AI doing a few tweaks.
Not to mention Photoshop (other image alteration software is available), not to mention pre-Photoshop image doctoring (see the USSR flying their flag over the Reichstag or photos of Stalin pictured with purged comrades).
Yeah exactly. Look how he's holding the newspaper. He's not holding it up like "aha here's my proof of life!" It's more like "someone sat me up and told me to hold this but I don't know why."
My grandma had dementia so we might be able to get a picture of her looking at a camera, but we wouldn't have been able to get her to do something specific for a photo, like hold up a newspaper. Same thing going on here.
It's the eyes to me. Defocused and drifting. Combined with the drooping face, just screams stroke. If that's the best photo they could get, his brain is likely a barely functional soup. Particularly given the drugs they likely have available to turbo charge what's left.
I mean, it's a proof of life photo for a Senator. It's entirely possible they dressed him up for it. These people are nothing but appearances.
If your talking about the tag at the bottom of the shirt, below the buttons, I have a shirt that has a tag like that. So sadly, that item isn't an indicator of anything hokey 🫤
It does seem odd that he is dressed and looking like he's just waiting to be given the ok for discharge, when apparently he has not been.
I could see a public figure getting a bit done up while staying in, if they expected to have a handful of visitors for photo ops and press releases, when again, apparently he has not, aside from this one odd pic.
I'd go so far as to say it doesn't even really matter at this point. If he's alive, he's 84 years old and from previous videos we've seen him fall over multiple times and blank out for long stretches mid-sentence, and he's currently been hospitalized for over a month. He's not physically or mentally fit to hold office. Or, he's dead which is also traditionally a barrier to employment.
To be fair though, he'd be a better senator as a corpse than he was while he was alive.
but I'm an unregistered massage therapist.
I'm also not a geologist but I think he's ready to be put in the ground
Should have been decades ago.
When the picture was released, the added information mentioned a "light" pneumonia. That is the shit you get if you can't swallow correctly anymore, and is one of the main killers of people who suffer strokes. If he was lying around for a few hours before he found him, his brain scans will probably show severe brain damage on his right side brain. He might recover enough faculties to not die for the next years, but i see no way for him to come back and work.
As OP said we still have no proof of life. This doctored photo of two people who looks 10 years younger than they do on any recent photo of them, proves nothing at all.
Isn’t it a photoshop of a vacation pic from a couple years ago?
Excellent revival of a classic meme. Love to see it! Seriously though the world’s top-class physicists have to look into this quantum phenomenon. Clearly we can’t go and check ourselves because we would perturb the system by observing it.
Anything to stretch it past August 4th. Literally anything. Guarantee they will announce his death or retirement on August 5th.
They're practicing to troll us by not letting us know when Trump dies
In theory, HIPAA is in play here so, without consent, no one can say anything to the public about the specific patient and their medical details.
My dying wish is that my mortal status be forever in question.
He's a Republican. He's been dead inside his whole life.
Schroedinger's turtle
Schroedinger’s senator
Here take one of my ös -> ööööö
Dem Schrödinger sein Senator, höhö
you see his wife has likely taken his corpse to be ressurected in asia.
I assume that’s why she left. To recharge the jade egg that’s been animating him for the past three years.
the phylactery is the jade egg.
He's going to be declared dead on August 4
Schrödinger’s republican?
hes a lich
I think we've got ourselves a classic "Schroedinger's Senator" situation on our hands.
Schroedinger's senator. He's both alive and dead, living in a super state in his little box while cuddling a little bundle of poison (also known as GOPinium).
Oh, we know.
