-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Apparently Bukele photoshopped the images he tweeted.
In this one - on the rim of each glass he added salt and a cherry.
I don't think it's photoshopped. Probably more of a photo op. Bukele controls the prison. It's much easier to put down some props and take a photo than it would be to doctor the photo. The margarita glasses in the photo are separate from the water glasses. The Van Hollen photo has 3 glasses. The Bukele photo has 5 glasses. You can see that they have a different color liquid inside. A simple margarita is tequila, triple sec, and lime juice; it doesn't have to be blended with ice. Or it could just be water with food coloring added to a prop glass.
I also viewed the image with an error analyzing software. Adding a new object in photoshop would create new jpeg artifacts around the object. Also the lightning of the the glasses would be very different than the lightning of the photo. If it was a photoshop. then it would be a very, very advanced photoshop. It's 1000x easier for Bukele to order his stooges "Put some margaritas on the table so that dumb Americans think the prison is like a vacation."
What a sleazy scumbag
