Sherman's Lagoon by Jim Toomey for August 09, 2024

Who’s his opponent, his cousin? Someone leading a recall effort isn’t the same as a candidate.

Was Mari always so devious?

Be careful around Mari! She’s probably working both sides just for the fun of it!

It’s kind of what the media is doing now with Kamala. Making every radical extremest thing she has said for 10 years disappear…..

Another reason to ignore political ads.

Forget it, Mari, everyone’s gonna know the truth soon enough. And besides Hawthorne deserves to be kicked out of office.

A recall election does not involve an opponent.

Be sure to count the fingers. AI has some issues with drawing hands correctly. However, that will not be a problem in the lagoon. (no hands). ;-)

In the 1934 California gubernatorial election Democratic Upton Sinclair ran against Republican Frank Merriam, the latter of whom MGM supported. The boy genius, Irving Thalberg led MGM’s anti-Sinclair campaign, and the studio recruited Carey Wilson to create a series of anti-Sinclair propaganda films. These films included fake newsreels of Sinclair supporters who were portrayed as bums and criminals. They were shown in Californian movie theaters, with one episode featuring hired actors as Sinclair supporters speaking with foreign accents. Supposedly when one actor objected to the films Thalberg replied, “Nothing is unfair in politics”. What’s happening on YouTube with AI was done years before in film.

Just what we need: crabby deepfakes.

Be sure to label it PARODY in big obvious letters unless you care to be sued.

No, let’s show him taking candy AS a baby!

And for her next trick, she’ll create thousands of mail-in votes from illegal aliens and dead people.

Show Trump playing the accordion… that one always works!!
