Nothing good will come out of this Alaska "meeting"

Inviting a tyrant to literally the only US State he has publicly coveted, appeasing him with your hand and mouth in front of the whole world and calling it a win?
No.

This is a cartoon where Vladimir Putin is wearing a baby version of Donald Trump in a baby strap on his chest. The worst president in American history is wearing an American onesie and has his normal, terrible, surgically-botched, dyed-blonde hair fragments swept into a giant comb-back hair style with a giant overhanging cliff over his front bald spots. He is leaning into a microphone at a lectern, face painted unnaturally bright orange as he is wont to do. His mouth is pursed as, like usual, it is implied he is talking non-stop about how great he is and racking up lie after lie about his perceived successes. Putin stands patiently, holding up the childish Trump, calmly waiting for him to hand over the freedom of the Western World to Russian aggression like a dutiful, happy, ignorant baby.

Per US Flag Code, the flag should never be displayed with the union (the starred blue canton) down, except as a signal of dire distress in instances of extreme danger to life or property. This image is a full-size American flag with frayed edges displayed upside down in distress.

What if everyone just decided not to bring their cameras to the Oval every afternoon while he sits in his diaper LOW ENERGY for hours surrounded by his Nazi capos. Babbling, signing things that he holds up like a 4 year-old with a crayon drawing of a horsey. Sucking up to tyrants. Holding court. 🖕

34-time convicted felon and current President of the United States Donald J Trump sits in the oval office with two faceless goons behind him. He rambles about minutiae he thinks is important while forcibly dismantling the entire system of American federal government. An ABC NewsLive Chyron is overlayed.

Now sounds like a VERY good time to antagonize this situation. I would hate to communicate amusement to those owners of MAGA seditionist flags all over town at their make-up dripping savior #Donald #Trump on his knees polishing Leon #GreenFingers Husks South African Emerald.

In the movie Aliens (1986), the fluorescent ship lights shine like that of a Navy Mess on the light gray monochromatic galley of the USS Sulaco. Bishop, an android played by Lance Henriksen, is playing "the knife trick" where he very rapidly and accurately stabs a knife between the fingers of Bill Paxton's cocky character Private Hudson. Another soldier holds his hand down and the others in the crew of the Sulaco cheer or smirk around the galley table. Bishop is calm, focused, and precise with the blade. Private Hudson is recoiling in fear, mouth agape. It is a paradigmatic scene for both characters.

A brain damaged cartoon #NAFO #Fella Shiba Inu is flying an attack helicopter towards over the viewer's left shoulder. Behind it is a wall of fireballs and it can safely be assumed that some stuff just went down back there. The text atop says WE HAVE VISUAL OF HOES BEING MAD and larger, on bottom reads HOES MAD. OVER.

The #UN vote on #Russia 's unmistakable Human Rights Violations in and against #Ukraine show the heavy presence of the same political apathy and economic/moral ambivalence just witnessed in US elections.

When the majority refuses to stand on principle, everyone loses.
Every yellow is a red.

This is the audiobook cover for You Can't Be Neutral on a Moving Train, A Personal History of Our Times by Howard Zinn, Author of A People's History of the United States. It says that it contains a new preface and is read by David Strathairn, which frankly... to me it doesn't get much better than David Strathairn. The title is predominantly black, all caps except for the subtitle, which is red, along with the author's prior work. The text is set upon a rectangle which is opaque, showing a close-up, high-contrast grayscale tritone image of Howard Zinn's face looking pleasantly into the camera.

I don't think @freedomarmed.bsky.social‬ stuttered at all. Don't tell someone else what they meant to say when you have no idea what you are talking about in the first place.

Charts from US Dept of Defense showing Ukraine Security Assistance Industrial Base Impacts and Direct Industrial Investments in the continental united states as a result of USAI & Replacement Obligations totaling $46.3B and Supplemental Funds of $4.9B are spent and invested within the United States Itself. The graphs are broken down to show each state's share of income from supporting Ukraine in Biden's plans.

This is a geographical map published in The Washington Post that shows the wide geographical spread of the investments of Ukraine's Aid money in the United States under the headline Ukraine Aid's Best Kept Secret: Most Of The Money Stays In The USA.

The map plots circles in varying sizes around the country where local economies are favorably impacted by Ukraine aid. Ukraine aid funds are going to 71 American cities where weapons systems and parts are being manufactured, it reads.

The difference here for MAGA between playing checkers and chess?

In checkers, everyone starts from different places but has the same chance. In chess there are a row of disposable pawns between the King and defeat. Which one is tfg?

Don't be a pawn sacrifice. This king is not worthy.
