    I haven’t seen his finger tattoos until just now, and it’s blatantly obvious that MS13 is MS Paint’ed on. Even a small child wouldn’t be fooled.

    But what I don’t get are those words below the pictures. Surely that is too small to write legibly as a tattoo, so they must also be photoshopped? Especially because they are a slightly different color and aren’t lined up correctly.

    I’m trying to read the words… “Marijuana” “Smiley” “Cross” and probably “Skull”. So, that would be MSCS, not MS13. That means that he has a Master of Science in Computer Science degree, I think. Just like me.

    I don’t know where they got the numbers from. A cross isn’t a “1”. If anything, it’s a “t”. Maybe if we could see around the edge, we’d see something that starts with K, and it just turns out that he’s a fan of MST3K.

      The cope is that the cross and skull are “cover up” tattoos to hide the fact that he was in the gang. The 1 was turned into a cross and the 3 was covered up by the skull. It’s a huge reach, but at least it’s not as stupid as believing that the MS13 text is real.

      The text below it is also added over the picture to explain how the tats were supposed to represent MS13 but the picture has been jpg’d to death

        The cope is that the cross and skull are “cover up” tattoos to hide the fact that he was in the gang.

        That brings up two things.

        First, if you’re covering up gang tattoos, I’m pretty sure that means you’re not in the gang. The claim was that he was a gang member. If he’s not a current gang member, and has committed no gang crimes domestically, and has no extradition request to El Salvador, then all of their phoney baloney reasons don’t even hold up on their own.

        But second, even if you don’t accept that he must not be in MS13, then like you said, it’s ridiculous to think that the skull is a cover up for a 3. Looking around the rest, we can see that there is no cover up for the “S”. It’s just a smile. The “M” doesn’t look like a cover up, either. So, what they’re asking us to believe is that he had a tattoo that said “marijuana”, “smile”, “1”, “3”, and despite still being in the gang, covered up the “1” and the “3”. As if the thing he supposedly covered up wasn’t cryptic enough. He must have suddenly just become paranoid.

        So in the first case, it’s impossible to believe that they have a good reason to think he’s in MS13. And in the second case, it’s impossible to believe that they have a good reason to think that he’d cover up his tattoo.

        I think any reasonable person would look at this picture and see it as evidence fabricated after the fact to hide that he was the victim of a crime by the federal government.

        Yes. And what does that say about all the libs who believe this?

      The words below are all in perfectly straight lines, like they were inserted with a text tool.

      It’s always looked to me that the MS123 and the words below were added my someone to explain how the pictures - the actual tattoos - mean MS13 (i.e., Marijuana = ‘M’ etc.)., but some people, including our president, are too stupid to recognize that.
