Speaking of which, the crowd around that painting is insane. You're only supposed to take fifteen seconds or something to look at it before you're told to move along. I took something like thirty when a dour German guy started giving me shit. I told him I wanted a good look so I could tell my friends at the synagogue about it. That shut him up pretty well.

In fairness to the Louvre, I imagine that doing so is a matter of keeping the peace. Now that everyone has a camera with them at all times (smartphones), documenting every tedious detail of their lives like OCD scrapbookers, you'd never be able to negotiate a high-traffic museum without some kind of policy discouraging this in place.

140 JackStraw mentioned the purported ongoing color ops in Europe as suggested by Mike Benz. I have pondered what they’ve been doing in this country.

Because there are a number of assumptions one has to make when looking at the larger picture. People en masse and individually react very predictably wen provoked, when outrageous things are perpetrated against them. (This is why the left so loved to call righteous indignation “reactionary” btw)

What I’m getting at, they planned all this outrageous shit going on decades then of course they necessarily had a plan for a bunch of pissed off people. It’s the “dog that didn’t bark”.

That’s where my crystal ball gets cloudy. I suppose broadly it revolves around excluding anyone not of the Uni-party from being admitted to the Club. No Grass roots allowed, anything like that must be co-opted and hijacked “and for other purposes”. See also: hippies, occupy, “black” lives matter, etc.

But the end result is clear. A lop-sided total control of everything by leftist wackjobs. Normal folks, millions of them, no representation and don’t get anything. That did not happen by accident, that was engineered for decades. No way around it

143 For some reason the word "camel" makes me think of Kraft caramels. The light-colored ones, not the dark ones.

All seriousness aside, this is a grim painting for sure. I'd guess this is supposed to be just at sunrise; the sunset would be much more blazing and orange (I guess, never having seen a Saharan sunset). We're looking east, then. Just the painter's choice of viewpoint. Nobody would try to drive east to west across the Sahara; I think it's as wide as the whole North American continent. The slave trade routes went from south to north, and even that was one hell of a trek.

Yeah, I've seen it and wasn't sure I totally believed it until,

we went to the Prado Museum in Spain.

They had an exhibit showing how they duplicated the famous paintings which they allow other museums to display on loan. ie. they never truly loan out their paintings...just "exact" fakes.

If you've ever been to the Prado, it's magnificent, maybe better than the Louvre, and the art on display is totally exposed to the public. But, you know is it really?

If their loans are fakes, how many of the famous painting on display are too?

From what I understand, the Arab slave traders didn't even have to chain or rope the slave merchandise. They just set them to walk. If one wanted to run free, fine, but he'd die in the desert, and they all knew that. So each stumbled along with the others and the traders on their camels.

This is a uniquely stupid ruling that even the 9th Circuit will stop. Commander in chief role and protection of federal facilities brook no judicial interference. In essence, the Resistance is trying to use judges to delay until a midterm delivers them from Trump is my guess. And that means all of these Resistance judges are likely communicating among themselves either directly or via activists in ex parte communications.

255 MEDIAite: Trump Considers Reopening 'Insane Asylums' in Crusade Against Crime. Trump made the suggestion in a Daily Caller interview with reporter Reagan Reese that dropped Monday.

Does anyone seriously use the term insane asylums? The reporter used it and of course if she's with the daily caller then that figures.

With the advent of psych meds there is no longer a need for long term hospitalizations. Of course RFK jr wants to change all that.

Reagan closed a lot of these facilities which did lead to highly mentally unstable people living in homelessness. Something like this probably is not all terrible, but I sure as fuck don’t trust this regime with it. No doubt, they will start with the chronic homeless, followed by trans, then liberal activists, etc.

I've noticed Trump following up on a lot of his delusions. He just wants things back the way they used to be and doesn't ever consider new information or why things have changed

Trump is like Reagan, constantly revisiting a halycon past that doesn't exist anymore. Rose-colored glasses with Nazi anti-glare glaze.

Rep. Rashida Tlaib at the People’s Conference for Palestine
At one of the most radical conferences in America, Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib took the stage and lashed out at critics.
“Every genocide enabler, look at this room motherfuckers — we ain’t going anywhere.”
She then celebrated the expansion of the cause: “They are just growing and growing. We are bringing siblings from other movements with us.” That a sitting U.S. lawmaker is not just attending but cheering on a conference platforming terrorists, extremists, and open calls for revolt shows how deeply mainstream politics has been pulled into this radical space.

Being mentally ill in an echo chamber of miserable people doesn't MAKE you mentally ill and unhappy...it's the only place where they are around other people with similar problems who want to help them. By reinforcing their beliefs, validating them, and drugging them into perpetual victimhood.

291 Trump and Republicans are overreacting, and look at the data...reported crime, or conviction rates, or whatever curated stats they want to use are much lower today than in the 90s or 70s (whatever works better), so things are fine.

I am sure that is true of AWFLs and possibly true of those of soy. But, as we need to remember, about half of the left's coalition are gimmedats--they don't give a flip about ideology--they want to get paid. That part of the coalition is both lazy and too busy destroying themselves via drugs, crime, etc. to care what others do.

Hard core leftists are roughly about 20-25 percent of the population and centered around gubmint, ngo, etc. employment. Quite a bit of infiltration into the corporate world in non productive roles, particularly the tech industry.

The tech industry, for whatever reason, is one of the power centers of the troon phenomenon and that is partially why sci fi is unreadable nowadays.

It's actually worse. Looking at DC's murder rate, for example, it was really high in the early-mid 90s, was super low in the early 2010s, and has steadily risen since.

So, you'd say "Sure, I've gained 100 lbs in the last decade, but that's still 100 lbs less than I was in the 90s!

314 Le Sahara, Gustave Guillaumet
www musee-orsay fr/
Gustave Guillaumet (1840 - 1887)
In part, "An eye-catcher at the Salon of 1868, this work by Guillaumet makes a break with Orientalist paintings of the time. Whereas many of his contemporaries gave a deliberately idealised or anecdotal picture of North Africa, here we have a poignant vision, which focuses on the essential. "Never has the infinite nature of the desert been painted in a simpler, more grandiose and more moving way," was Théophile Gautier's comment. The harshness of the landscape, the feeling of solitude and desolation are heightened by the division of the painting into wide horizontal bands, the implacable monotony broken only by the presence of men and animals in the distance. From the skeleton in the foreground, frozen in cool tones, we slide imperceptibly towards the glow surrounding the improbable caravan looming on the horizon.
With a remarkable economy of means, a subtle graduation of planes which mingles the dusty stretch of the vast plain with the hazy sky, Guillaumet manages to capture the quintessence of the desert."

I think they've used crime as a distraction for years -- people worrying about being mugged, burglarized, killed, whatever, don't have time to notice what the leaders are doing with their money. For example, leaders can threaten to take away police services if they refuse to accept new taxes.

359 "HAPPY LABOR DAY TO ALL, INCLUDING THE SCUM THAT IS TRYING TO DESTROY OUR COUNTRY WITH A SICK WARPED RADICAL MIND, KILLING SMALL BUSINESSES WITH CRAZY TARIFFS, TAKING HEALTH CARE FROM CHILDREN, PARDONING J6 THUGS, SENDING THE "PRIVATE ARMY" TO ARREST GRANDMA, WRECKING OUR BEAUTIFUL ENVIRONMENT, DEFUNDING OUR SCHOOLS, AND DESTABILIZING LONG-STANDING INTERNATIONAL RELATIONSHIPS. HOPEFULLY THE UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT, AND OTHER GOOD AND COMPASSIONATE JUDGES THROUGHOUT THE LAND, WILL SAVE US FROM THE DECISIONS OF THE MONSTERS WHO WANT OUR COUNTRY TO GO TO HELL. BUT FEAR NOT, WE HAVE MADE GREAT PROGRESS IN RECENT WEEKS, AND AMERICA WILL SOON BE SAFE AND GREAT AGAIN! AGAIN, HAPPY LABOR DAY, AND GOD BLESS AMERICA! - GCN"

Wasn't that because she was a slut? That's only allowed to the Kennedy men, not the Kennedy women.

362 I've never been in the military, but even I know that you give troops stuff to do even when there's nothing to do in order to maintain discipline.

True, and soldiers are used to it, but they don't want to be activated and pulled up from their normal civilian lives to do yard work. Occasionally to stay busy, sure, but if it's a regular occurrence, it indicates they have too many troops for the mission OR aren't being used appropriately.

365 As mentioned previously, aggressive policing and crime fighting, using the leftists vernacular, saves black bodies.

You can't get any more pro-black than making sure black people aren't murdered.

Are there multiple Gruntas? In some pics she looks more normal, not hideous, just about average. In others, she looks like the middle stage of a face-melting body horror movie.

373 I don't think leftists love crime. They just hate when you notice their idiotic policies increase crime.

Defund the police. Cashless bail. DAs who won't prosecute crime. These are actual Democrat policies and anyone with an IQ above room temperature knew they would increase crime.

But we are bad people for noticing.

375 For a few years I lived in the middle of nowhere on acreage. It was about as safe an area from crime as you could have.

But I still locked the door as well as car doors. The whole leaving doors unlocked thing is weird to me as a born and raised city slicker.
