Trump Will Remain Gagged

Donald Trump has been under a gag order in his Washington case for several weeks now and, barring Supreme Court intervention, he will remain gagged. A three-person panel from the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals already ruled against him, and yesterday, the full circuit declined to hear his appeal. This is not an unexpected outcome, since the gag order was carefully tailored, and clearly has a valid purpose in terms of protecting the (future) jury and the members of the court.

Truth be told, this news is probably not interesting enough to warrant an item on its own. However, it did lead Trump to blow a gasket on "Truth" Social. That is also not interesting enough to warrant an item on its own, EXCEPT that as part of his meltdown, Trump posted this image to remind his base that he, too, is a God-fearing fellow:

Perhaps you might notice something fishy about the photo, particularly if you are a regular reader of this site? Like, for example, the unnatural, leathery texture of his suit jacket? Or the pews pointing in the wrong direction? Or... the six fingers on his right hand?

Naturally, if the best proof you have of your churchgoing ways is an AI-generated photo, that reveals a little something about your "churchgoing" ways. Anyhow, this was just too good, so we had to pass it along. (Z)
