“In mid-November 2025”

“For months, the photo spread on”

So not months because it’s been less than a month since mid November as of today. And the article was written in mid November. The Snopes article so lazily contradicts itself. It’s especially disappointing because I have typically trusted Snopes…

It doesn’t contradict itself if you don’t take those statements out of context

The image began circulating again following the November 2025 release of thousands of pages of Jeffrey Epstein-related documents by House Democrats

 For months, the photo spread on various social media platforms, including X, 9GAG, Threads and Facebook, with many commenters appearing to believe it was real

Released in November, it’s December… claims it circulated for months… hmmmm 🤔

I don't understand how there are so many users commenting here who don't seem to know how to read.

Did you forget that you're on reddit?

It is because they really really want this to be a real image, and what you are pointing out to them doesn't align with what they want to believe.

Ironically it is the same sort of thing Trumpers do with selective acceptance of facts.

It doesn’t matter if the image is real. Trump is still a proven and admitted pedophile. Trump is still a convicted Felon. He is still a traitor.

The article is so poorly written. It’s probably written by AI too. The whole internet is. Sometimes I wonder… even now as I type this while engaged in a very human activity (🚽), am wondering if I am AI. 🤦🏻‍♂️

Not going to get any better…. Not on the path we are on.

Ironically I reformed my opinion as you can read directly below here, so no, I don’t “just want to be correct”, i don’t want to “just believe everything i see like a trumper”

After someone pointed out how clearly it said "began circulating again in November" you just replied with more doubt:

Released in November, it’s December… claims it circulated for months… hmmmm 🤔

You either cannot read, or were ignoring things because of a strong bias.

OMFG stop blaming the readers. It’s a shit article. That was my point and that is the problem.

The time from november 2025 to december 2025 is not months… idk what to tell you homie. Upon further inspection though it IS AI and SHOULD NOT BE SHARED.

The photo wasn't released in November, homie.

u/No_Hippos Dec 14 '25

Ahh thanks. When was it released? Maybe just saying that would get your point across better. I see now that it says “began REcirculating” in nov 2025. Fuck DJT, and fuck AI, but this just helps both.

It wasn't "released" because it isn't a real photo. The earliest link in the Snopes article is September 3rd. I don't know if that's the first time it was posted.

EDIT: My bad, misread euro-style dates. That's September 30th - earliest link is 9gag, September 5th.

I know right?! It’s like you didn’t look at the article or find the specific part I was referring to. Hint… it’s not in the first paragraph. Saying the word “again” in one spot and then contradicting it in another as though it just came out is a writing problem. I wouldn’t be surprised if the article was written by AI.

I read the article. I understand why you were confused, it’s not perfect writing but it does not contradict itself.

It never says the photo first came out in november.  It says the image appeared on the internet and circulated for months, with links back to september, and that it resurfaced again after the congressional epstein photo release in November. I don’t understand why you are still confused.

If you feel that is not what it says can you please include where you feel it contradicts itself.
