Um, looks like #USGovt is looking to imprison more folks -- #shoplifters! Like, parents who can't afford food for their kids because of #TrumpsWar ! #Homeless folks, #veterans , #protestors -- they are all on the *list* too!

Trump is guilty of many things, including 'stolen valor' which is claiming military honors, such as medals, that he never earned. "Even by Trump’s usual standards of AI slop, the latest image (posted by Donald Trump) goes further than most. It not only depicts him in a uniform he never wore, with medals he never earned, but also shows two legitimate military legends ― and depicts them with a lower rank than Trump":

I never thought about this before, but of course there were many years when most of the male athletes in professional sports were recent war veterans. Here was one: Fred Boensch (1920-2000) had a jaw injury from a bullet wound in World War II. He played football upon his return to the US, including a few seasons in the NFL; he used protective masks made of rubber, leather, and iron to prevent further damage to his facial bones. #football #NFL #WWII #dishist #sports #veterans
