Colorado campaign ads with audio, video and other content generated using artificial intelligence will need to feature prominent disclosures under a bill signed into law by Gov. Jared Polis over the weekend. The law, passed as House Bill 1147, likens “deepfakes,” or the use of AI to create false depictions of people doing or saying things, to forcing the subject to act under duress.

The Five's Jeanine Pirro attacked Robert De Niro for daring to publicly state his negative opinion on her Dear Leader. Pirro, with her silver spoon that she uses as a sipping straw between commercial breaks, seems to believe the Academy Award winning actor is a loser because he didn't put his name on a building. Okay, Donald Trump wants to destroy the city, the country, and the world. You know, my question for Robert De Niro is what have you done for New York City, Robert De Niro? What have you done? Is there a building with your name on it? Have you built skyscrapers? Has the skyline of New York changed because of all of your vision? No, you had to read everything you read to get ahead in life, and now you're reading a script at a Biden-arranged press conference. You're a loser, and I'm not surprised you needed that.

Jim Jordan keeps trying to find something, anything, to dirty up Democrats & make MAGA mob boss and keeper of his gonads, Donald Trump, happy. Yet, per usual, he's doing far better at humiliating himself than providing proof Hunter Biden, Joe Biden, some Biden from the 1850s or any other Democrat's done anything he claims. Which is why Democrats like Stacey Plaskett & Dan Goldman keep ripping him to his face and on live tv, and all he can do to respond is yammer on like a tweaking hobgoblin.

It’s up to the jury to decide if Donald Trump is guilty or not. If he’s acquitted, that’s the end of the trial, and prosecutors can’t charge him again for the same crimes. But if the jury comes back with a guilty verdict, nearly everything about what happens next would be up to Judge Juan Merchan. [time-brightcove not-tgx=”true”] The experienced New York Supreme Court judge who has presided over Trump’s Manhattan trial for six weeks will have several thorny decisions before him including whether he should send a former President to jail or probation, and if any sentence should be postponed until after Trump has exhausted his appeals.
