(7,220 posts)OMG the evangelical "base" would have been immersed in outrage. "What about the CHILDREN?" We'd never hear the end of it. Of course, no such thing even remotely happened, so they were forced to make up dumb shit about him being a muslim and being born in Kenya. Provably false, but they REALLY wanted to nail something on that uppity black fella.
Meanwhile in our dystopian reality, Trump's attorney pays off a porn star, with whom there's at least one picture of them in a smiling friendly embrace (something that would have gotten Obama impeached on the SPOT), and apparently there's even an NDA, trump's lying lawyers are fighting tooth-and-nail to keep the lurid details secret...
...cue crickets...
but oh no, they're not racists.

(6,916 posts)Despite the many smart people (thus liberals) that are journalists, the right has figured out how to coopt the media.
Our media is effectively right wing. If it were really centrist, accusations about Obama and Trump would get equal airtime. We know this is not true.

HANNITY: And we continue with our "Great American Panel."
All right, so there I am. I'm on the radio today, and I click on to the Drudge Report. And I say, "Oh, Barack Obama in his Bill Clinton moment." Let's show the picture.
POWERS: Or not.
HANNITY: Now, check -- are you all watching? Do you see that picture? There it is.
POWERS: Oh, no.
HANNITY: What do you mean, "Oh" --
POWERS: He's looking at something on the ground.
HANNITY: What --
POWERS: You see there's something, like, right there on the corner?
HANNITY: What, a piece of paper on the ground?
POWERS: Yeah. He's looking at that paper.
HANNITY: Do you really think so?
POWERS: That's my official position.
HANNITY: Now Peter Johnson, if that was you going home, and that picture was up on the Drudge Report tonight -- I know you're happily married. What would the reaction be?
JOHNSON: You know --
HANNITY: When have you ever been at a loss for words?
JOHNSON: I'm at a loss for words. You know, I'm sure there's a good explanation for that. I think he saw --
POWERS: It's the camera angle.
JOHNSON: I think he was bowing to the Saudi prince.
HANNITY: Is that what that is?
JOHNSON: I think there was something going on there.
K.T. McFARLAND (former Pentagon spokeswoman): What I want to know is, who is Sarkozy looking at? Is he looking at Obama --
HANNITY: Yeah, I --
McFARLAND -- or is he looking at the lady?
HANNITY: Either that, or Sarkozy just whispered --
POWERS: See, I --
HANNITY: -- "Hey, take a look."
McFARLAND: Hey, take a look at that. Yeah.
POWERS: They're looking at something else. They're looking at something else, like out of -- it's the camera angle.
HANNITY: And what -- tell me what they're looking at.
POWERS: I can't see it, because it's not in the picture.
HANNITY: Have you gone this far into the Obama camp?
[crosstalk]
HANNITY: You used to be a fairly reasonable liberal. I mean --
POWERS: I'm -- I just don't --
HANNITY: He's looking at her backside, can we just say it? And --
JOHNSON: And, you can -- he's leaning right. He's leaning right for the first time in his career.

(82,849 posts)First, because his administration won't last eight years, nobody in the Trump administration is going to be able to say they were there on Day One and there on Day the Last. Maybe not even Trump.

(297,205 posts)that from Instagram? I was just wishing we could do that?

(128,958 posts)and what I do is right click the page with the picture to bring up a little menu that has an option of "View Page Info". I select that and it pops up a new window with further menu options - "General, Media, Permissions, Security". I select "Media". On that media screen, a window just below will have a list of links of various types on that web page including those that have a file type as an "icon", "background", "image", "video", etc. If you click an "image" address, a window just below the address list will usually display what that image looks like and you can actually right-click that selected address to get little menu with an option to "copy" that image address, and then it can be pasted in the navigation bar of another tab to view separately.
It doesn't always work with some addresses, but at least it did for this (addresses that appear in italics don't always work)!

(297,205 posts)during the election I used to want to copy&paste Instagrams a lot, but could never see how to do it.
That's why I was so curious.. now, I don't see them that much. So, it's ok. I thought there might be some easy quick trick like with Tweets. But, nooooo!
Thanks for going through all that, BRDS! They do have some really good pics at times. Oh yeah, and Pete Souza uses it.

(128,958 posts)Copying tweet pics are much easier (I usually right click those and then select "view image" and that displays the pic full screen and gets me to the link to copy). I expect it is how the software embeds the pictures where instagram pics are apparently deeper down in the web code.
