The photo above is highly edited. It has the current pope and the previous pope (who is deceased) both dressed as the pope in the picture. Don't believe everything that you see.

I though that was obvious that it was a "meme" meant to show where the catholic church leadership stands and where their "values" are currently and not a real photo.

It used to be "Don't believe anything you read and only half of what you see.." Now with AI and deep fakes and with the current captured news media it has become "Don't believe anything you see." as well. How much war footage have you seen from Ukraine and now Gaza that is fake. Planes and helicopters being shot down but the fire and smoke plume is identical = video games. I saw some footage on the early reporting on Gaza that briefly showed a Russian tank moving through snow. 72 Hour Rule. Wait at least 72 hours to see what develops. Often it turns out to be something different than how it was told. It is hard to see because the gaslight is turned up so bright.

I had never heard that 72 hours before until my oldest son told me he doesn't listen to anything about any event until three days later. I didn't know that was a "thing." Whole new meaning on patients being a virtue.

MD, they really didn't have to cheat here in Kentucky. Only 38% of registered voters bothered to vote. They could have voted Hillary in since obviously 62% of people don't care here anymore 😡
