For one thing, his images from the court are of a tired, elderly man with bad hair and makeup. This is not Warren Beatty sexily robbing a bank as Clyde Barrow or a 2003-era Johnny Depp winking at the camera as pirate Jack Sparrow. But more importantly, Trump's crimes aren't a daring good time. They're just the pathetic scramblings of a loser trying to avoid being exposed as the fraud he is. [Read more](~/AASU4wA~/RgRoPDLFP0RoaHR0cHM6Ly9hLnBvc3QubGhkLmxpbmsvbjFqb2RnMWxqYy8_bGhfYWlkPTM1NDM5NTImbGhfY2lkPWcyYm44dXN5MWwmbGhfZW09dHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luODUlNDBnbWFpbC5jb21XA3NwY0IKZlXGrVlmLXlroFIbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luODVAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAo). ~/AASU4wA~/RgRoPDLFP0REaHR0cHM6Ly9hLnBvc3QubGhkLmxpbmsvanR4aDJqMzRibC8_bGhfYWlkPTM1NDM5NTImbGhfY2lkPWcyYm44dXN5MWxXA3NwY0IKZlXGrVlmLXlroFIbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luODVAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAo~/AASU4wA~/RgRoPDLFP0REaHR0cHM6Ly9hLnBvc3QubGhkLmxpbmsvOG9hODJhM255dC8_bGhfYWlkPTM1NDM5NTImbGhfY2lkPWcyYm44dXN5MWxXA3NwY0IKZlXGrVlmLXlroFIbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luODVAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAo~/AASU4wA~/RgRoPDLFP0REaHR0cHM6Ly9hLnBvc3QubGhkLmxpbmsvcXQzM2U0MThhYi8_bGhfYWlkPTM1NDM5NTImbGhfY2lkPWcyYm44dXN5MWxXA3NwY0IKZlXGrVlmLXlroFIbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luODVAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAo~/AASU4wA~/RgRoPDLFP0REaHR0cHM6Ly9hLnBvc3QubGhkLmxpbmsvc2d2enBiaHk2ay8_bGhfYWlkPTM1NDM5NTImbGhfY2lkPWcyYm44dXN5MWxXA3NwY0IKZlXGrVlmLXlroFIbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luODVAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAo Donald Trump up close and personal: A president convicted by a jury of his peers From Brian Karem: What few understand, but anyone who covered the Trump White House realizes, is that the jury found Trump guilty for the very same reasons those who spent a lot of time with him at the White House found him to be reprehensible; close quarters with Trump strips away the veneer of civility and invincibility that he is able to maintain for the casual observer. To see Trump up close is to understand how truly wretched and repulsive he is. [Read more](~/AASU4wA~/RgRoPDLFP0RoaHR0cHM6Ly9hLnBvc3QubGhkLmxpbmsvZWUwcXl2bzk3Zy8_bGhfYWlkPTM1NDM5NTImbGhfY2lkPWcyYm44dXN5MWwmbGhfZW09dHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luODUlNDBnbWFpbC5jb21XA3NwY0IKZlXGrVlmLXlroFIbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luODVAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAo).

Why the "All Eyes on Rafah" image is being criticized – and it's not just because it's AI-generated This week, the slogan "All Eyes on Rafah" jumped to the forefront of the online Palestinian movement, shortly after an Israeli missile hit what was designated as a safe zone for displaced Palestinians in the southern Gazan city of Rafah. Soon after, an AI-generated photo of a field of refugee tents with the slogan “All Eyes on Rafah" sprawled across the center of the image began to pop up online. Since the photo's release, it has been shared and reposted over 47 million on Instagram. While the intention of the photo may be to spread awareness of what has happened in Rafah, the mass distribution of the AI photo has also drawn criticism.
