The New Arrival

Very Victorian, even though he was a Frog. But it is a sweet scene, executed marvelously....

A draft dodging pot smoker who loathed the military, an effete, French-looking turncoat who betrayed his brothers in arms for fame, a muslim-named Marxist in the middle of an existential war, and a harridan notorious for her mistreatment/disrespect of servicemen and Benghazi. Why not go all in again with a stolen valor asshat?

78 >>Aww,I thought the pussy hats would be...different.

There will likely be 'lots of crazy 3rd wave feminist nonsense mixed in, because these types of marches rarely stay on point - like how "Free Mumia!" posters appear at every progressive protest.

The march organizers were mum about how progressive its purpose would be, and ignored inquiries from a large Pro-Life group who wanted to be one of the sponsors if it wasn't explicitly pro-abortion. They were ignored, and it turns out PP is a big sponsor and helped write the protest's platform. Oh, they also stole the March for Life's hashtag #WhyWeMarch for good measure.
Pretty sure this thing will be a freakshow.

Well, it's only fair because some people who share pigmentation with the current protesters were oppressed by some other people with a different skin pigmentation, neither of whom are actually going to be at this march.

I mean, how else are we going to get beyond past sins unless we keep pushing them onto people who have never committed those sins? It's only logical.

114 Lindsay Lohan is a sad, lost, and mentally unstable, and it would not be surprising if she embraced islam after being exploited by he parents and lord know who else in Hollywood as a kid/teen. She certainly needs structure and discipline in her life, but this is not the way to get it.

115 This is a pleasant, serene scene. Although the focus is on the figures, I notice the faces aren't as detailed as the furnishings. More like seen through a soft focus lens, which goes with the gentle emotion of the image. Have to admit, the drapes and furniture really caught my eye.

I don't know if it was deliberate or has meaning, but I notice the mother and little girl have identical expressions. Females with something in common no matter their age? (I presume from the size the baby is a boy.)

This is the third Toulmouche painting CBD has used, which is fine. This one seems to lack the touch of sarcasm or satire that other of his works feature. I would like to have a full size one of his paintings just to study the way he handles cloth and details.

And yes, the item by mom's feet is a tuffet.

I care much less about John Lewis saying something dumb about Trump that won't change anything than about Democrats' sudden love of restrained executive power and the proper place of state sovereignty in the union.

Can we get some solid votes on, say, a constitutional amendment from these people? Something that limits the power of the executive to create new regulations? Or...something that just says, "What the 10th says. And we really really mean it."

There will likely be 'lots of crazy 3rd wave feminist nonsense mixed in, because these types of marches rarely stay on point - like how "Free Mumia!" posters appear at every progressive protest.

The march organizers were mum about how progressive its purpose would be, and ignored inquiries from a large Pro-Life group who wanted to be one of the sponsors if it wasn't explicitly pro-abortion. They were ignored, and it turns out PP is a big sponsor and helped write the protest's platform. Oh, they also stole the March for Life's hashtag #WhyWeMarch for good measure.

115 This is a pleasant, serene scene. Although the focus is on the figures, I notice the faces aren't as detailed as the furnishings. More like seen through a soft focus lens, which goes with the gentle emotion of the image. Have to admit, the drapes and furniture really caught my eye.

I don't know if it was deliberate or has meaning, but I notice the mother and little girl have identical expressions. Females with something in common no matter their age? (I presume from the size the baby is a boy.)

This is the third Toulmouche painting CBD has used, which is fine. This one seems to lack the touch of sarcasm or satire that other of his works feature. I would like to have a full size one of his paintings just to study the way he handles cloth and details.

158 I care much less about John Lewis saying something dumb about Trump that
won't change anything than about Democrats' sudden love of restrained
executive power and the proper place of state sovereignty in the union.



Can we get some solid votes on, say, a constitutional amendment from
these people? Something that limits the power of the executive to
create new regulations? Or...something that just says, "What the 10th
says. And we really really mean it."


Agree absolutely. It's tempting to want Trump to abuse his executive power in the same way that Obama did, just to give them a taste of their own medicine, but it's much more important to get back to a semblance of what the Constitution intended. It will be critical that whatever is proposed be very carefully written, and leave the Dems absolutely no wiggle room to cheat when their turn comes back around. If they won't sign it, hammer them mercilessly for their hypocrisy and make them own it by every Trump executive action.

Lindsay Lohan is a sad, lost, and mentally unstable, and it would not be surprising if she embraced islam after being exploited by he parents and lord know who else in Hollywood as a kid/teen. She certainly needs structure and discipline in her life, but this is not the way to get it.

Posted by: Lizzy at January 16, 2017 09:52 AM (NOIQH)








There's been rumors circulating for years that a lot of A and B list actresses have been supplementing their incomes by flying off to the Gulf states to bang oil sheiks for cash, with Dubai being the most popular destination, a kind of Arab Las Vegas.

Given that Lohan hasn't acted in a major film in years and has no visible means of income, I can't help thinking that there's some truth to the rumors, at least in her case.

193 I thought the pussyhats were just regular hats knitted by that person a year or two ago who stored her wool in her vagina. What was her name?

Posted by: Muldoon



She's an Australian "performance artist" named Casey Jenkins whose exhibit is to knit a giant scarf from a roll of wool placed in her vagina. She does this for a month.

The "gimmick" to this? During "that time" of the month, the white wool emerges red. Clever, no?

Trump does need to spend the first few months undoing all the Obama
shit. And he needs to dish out some of his own. If you do not do
tit-for-tat the opposition never learns. This is why the Republicans
always lose in these political games.


Yes, he does need to undo the Obama legacy, but I'll suggest a refinement on my previous. When he takes office, he could announce that for the first x months of his tenure, he'll abide by the old Obama rules, which is to say no rules at all, That should give him enough time to undo much of what Obama screwed up and give then that taste of their own medicine. At the same time, he'll announce that at the end of that x months, he'll revert to the Constitutional model, provided the Dems sign on to an amendment making clear that the original intent of the Constitution is operative again, and they can either sign or not sign. If they sign, great, progress is made. If they don't sign, then he continues with the floggings until morale improves.
