Hey, friends who keep your eyes open! I saw a very funny photo-image of the post-Zelensky meeting, where all the world leaders were standing there holding their noses while #47 pointed his finger. Does anybody know where that image came from or exists. I've searched for it, but I can't find it!

Hi friends! Is there some internet censorship going on? Last night I found a heap of fun Gavin Newsome parody stuff, and now it seems to be gone. Maybe when we see these we need to recopy them fast so we can repost them. Does anybody know of a good site where they're all collected?

Interesting@ When somebody blocks you, you get notified--I wish it didn't have to be that way. And I do wonder why Chrisworcs blocked me.
