I am antifa.

You are antifa.

They are antifa.

Unless you're orange--Then you are Trump and an aspirational fascist.

Existential Pumpkin is the only acceptable state of Orange - Absolutely no orange dictators and no kings!

Be anti-fascist.

Be best;-)

A Zoom in pic of a New Jersey jury summons notice ending in 666, which makes me twice as satanic and twice as fun as the average juror;-)

Donald J. Trump + @realDonald Trump We're having a News Conference tomorrow in the White House. I'm going to make our Capital safer and more beautiful than it ever was before. The Homeless have to move out, IMMEDIATELY. We will give you places to stay, but FAR from the Capital. The Criminals, you don't have to move out. We're going to put you in jail where you belong. It's all going to happen very fast, just like the Border. We went from millions pouring in, to ZERO in the last few months. This will be easier - Be prepared! There will be no "MR. NICE GUY." We want our Capital BACK. Thank you for your attention to this matter! Melanie D'Arrigo @DarrigoMelanie Trump is going to traffic homeless people. Many won't have ID, and will likely end up incarcerated with immigrants who are being arrested, trafficked and detained, without due process. He's not going to stop with Washington DC.

Ashley Parker @AshleyRParker - Mar 3, 2023 Crime in DC is out of control. It's depressing the @washingtonpost Ed Board even needed to write this: "Washingtonians have a right to feel and be safe. At the moment, it would be hard to say this is the case." James Hohmann @jameshohmann Mar 3, 2023 New Washington Post Editorial: Feeling forced to choose, President Biden picked public safety over home rule for the capital city. Despite our grave concerns about the law, it shouldn't have come to this. Washington's leaders should have acted on their own.

far be it from me to even imply that I would rather have the porch swing cushions under my ass instead of the hard metal bar with the thin fabric over it..cat is not moving;-)

praise Kitty!

chocolate brown Ocicat given the Death Stare on top of the formerly mine porch swing cushions--now hers. the cushions are red with white stripes like candy canes, but there's nothing sweet about that glare ;-) since Kitty is not giving up the cushions,I guess I could just eat another donut and make my own homemade ass padding that way--who needs cushions ;-)

George Houraney, a businessman whose Am Dream Calendar Girls beauty contest had be X running in Las Vegas casinos since 1978, recalls encountering Epstein at Mar-a-Lago in January 1993. Houraney says that Trump asked him to organise a party that month with some of his pageant's finalists, promising to invite heads of modelling agencies and prospective sponsors for his competition. "He had me fly in all these girls, and gave me a $30,000 budget for airfares and limos to pick them up at the airport," he says. "The girls were all decked out, expecting to meet all these VIPs." But after an hour at the party, Houraney says, there seemed to be only one other guest: Epstein. "I was like, 'Donald, where are the guys? What's going on here?' And he said, 'Well, this is it." Houraney says he realised "this is a Jeff Epstein party, basically". While suspicious of Epstein, Houraney was keen to have Trump as a business partner. A month earlier, in December 1992, Trump had met with Houraney and Jill Harth, who ran the pageant together. They were looking for a new sponsor for their contest, which each year saw models aged 16 to 22 compete to appear in wall calendars wearing bikinis and swimsuits while posing with classic cars. At dinner in the Plaza's Oak Room, Harth, Houraney and Trump discussed moving the American Dream competition from Las Vegas to one of Trump's casinos. "He wanted to build this into the biggest, the best thing that he could do. He was talking about television and pulling out all the contacts," Harth later said. Eventually, the pageant was held at Trump Castle in Atlantic City in November 1993, but for one year only.

Evangelista wote her hair in a striking red bob with a heavy fringe, and towered over Marie, who wore a black suit and tie, his hair slicked back. Evangelista joined Naomi Campbell to present a prize, while Marie sat with fellow judges Casablancas and Donald Trump in the audience 2/3 (not completely accurate because it was not compatible with Google Lens) Evangelicts Martie is tos, d reparaning from the said. "During my relationship with Gerald Marie wai unable to help these women. Hearing them no telling the truth.

Karlsson says that when she arrived at his office, the first thing he did was lower the blinds. "There was a window between his office and other people in the agency," she explains. She says Marie then took her through the portfolios of famous models he represented and asked her if she knew what they did to become successful. Then, she says, "Suddenly, his hand was inside my vagina, It was so quick and abrupt, I totally froze." After the meeting, the sat down on the "first available bench" and cried, feeling "ashamed and in shock" On another occasion, Karlsson agreed to go to a "casting" at Marie's apartment. He had told her she had a lot of film potensial because she spoke several languages. The other models there looked younger than her, she says, perhaps 16 or 17, and some were living in his apartment. "Some were sick, they had colds or something, and did not look great. She and the others were told to take off their clothes, don high heels, then walk and pose for Marie and two other men. "They wanted to see our boobs. And 1 don't know if that was the common practice, but it was like a meat market. It was horrible"
