They say a picture is worth 1000 words, but some pictures are worth millions of votes.

While the caption on this image is a bit tin-foil-hat for me, i can't deny its value as a counterpunch.

Im curious what the Democrats on this board think about this image.

Can’t argue with that. I’m burning my liberal card and buying a MAGA hat first thing tomorrow.

Like almost all images I have seen of UFOs purporting to be alien spaceships, it is of such low resolution and so poorly exposed and out of focus, that any close detail is obscured, as if someone was trying to hide what it really was in a deliberate attempt to deceive and pass it off as something it was not.

What’s at all “tinfoil hat” about the caption “Mail Online?”

That's not at all hard to believe.

For many years I worked with a Filipino man. He told me the story of his grandfather, a peasant working in a rice paddy, when the first airplane he ever saw flew by. His grandfather said that some people fell to the ground and began prostrating themselves to the 'flying cross' that was flying overhead. Closest thing to a cargo cult story I've heard.

Arthur C. Clarke said "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic". Digital image manipulation makes it ridiculously easy to hoodwink the technologically ill-informed.
