If you look at the actual picture released...it’s an odd thing. Typically...shooting skeet...you have the gun at a 15-to-20 degree aim (upward). He’s firing the gun at a flat line...at some piece of paper on the wall I suspect. Maybe they call that skeet....but the picture is odd to match up with the term skeet.

Number 1- Ouch!!!
Number 2- when was this taken? After he made the statement and someone thought they better give him a little training and take a pic?

I call BS all around.

I thought all government photographs were public domain. I think the only restriction is it can’t be used for an endorsement. For instance, you can’t use a photo with a NASA logo on it to make it look like NASA is endorsing something.

Screw them, it is published on the White House website, we own that website, we own that photo. They are afraid to hurt his feelings.

Two questions:

1. Why is his cheek jammed up that tightly on his gun?

2. Why does it look like gasses are being emitted from the side of that barrel?

So does this mean the SS is coming to knock on our doors if we manipulate the image?

How about a flag coming out of the barrel instead of smoke — a flag labeled “I’m a homo”? Would that count as “manipulation”?

Or maybe they’ll come knocking on my door for suggesting an idea for manipulation...

Is “Skeet” the Secret Service code name for the press secretary?

I’m surprised Barry didn’t try to hold it gangsta style.

If it was shot by a government photographer you can ‘shop it all you want.*

Well from the position of the recoil pad on his shoulder I suspect that was the first and last time he ever shot a shotgun. I suspect this was in retaliation to comments being made. I also notice no station or house plus he’s not even looking down the rib. I shoot skeet, trap and clays and have never seen that much smoke come out unless you were to pull the shot and shoot with the wadding only, then you have a bunch of unburt powder going down the barrel, another staged photo shot.

So what? So somehow in the demented scheming minds of FUBO’s handlers a posed photo holding/firing a shotgun makes him NOT a gun grabbing Marxist, but just a good ol’ boy, and “one of us”?

“See?...See...? I shoot skeet! (Therefore) I love the 2nd Amendment!” The only relationship shooting skeet has to the 2nd Amendment is there are guns...

Calling or portraying a thing as something else does not change it’s nature...For example, I could call a Commie douchebag a Wingmaster, but “the thing” would still be a Commie douchebag...

Not even a “nice try”, Numbnuts!
