Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

In 2019, Trump admitted he misused contributions to eight charities. Eight.
So he's obviously the guy we should trust to use the U.S. military to highjack foreign resources, sell them to his campaign donors, and stash the cash in an overseas bank in the country that gave him a $400 million airplane.

Judge Says Trump Must Pay $2 Million Over Misuse Of Foundation Funds
The money will go to a group of charities. The New York judge said money raised at a 2016 veterans fundraiser "was used for Mr. Trump's political campaign and disbursed by Mr. Trump's campaign staff."

You probably could, if you only had a brain. Only people with IQs above 154 can find the dog in this picture.
Hint: She is hiding behind the scarecrow (perhaps *The* Scarecrow) next to the Little Free Library.

Totalitarianism in power invariably replaces all first- rate talents, regardless of their sympathies, with those crackpots and fools whose lack of intelligence and creativity is still the best guarantee of their loyalty.

We’re finding out that when the voters & non voters make a terrible mistake, it’s a lot harder to do anything about it than we ever realized. We never imagined an entire major political party going both insane and chicken at the same time. I will never wonder how Nazi Germany happened, ever again:

Noem: "Every single thing I've said has been factual about what's been going on in Mpls, in Minnesota...we've surged HSI there to focus on sex trafficking & child trafficking. It's so prevalent in MN. It's horrific...we're gonna keep hundreds of HSI officers there to continue to protect those kids."
