The person who lives here, or his/her housekeeper, is remarkably neat. Look how the soap and scrub brush are lined up in military fashion. Either the owner is retired military, or this is Hercule Poirot's kitchen.

66 I wonder if this is supposed to be a counter to the Thanksgiving ideal. Instead of a large, perfectly roasted bird ready to feed a family, it's a scrawny, pathetic chicken, prepared in a small kitchen. The heavy black lines and rough brushstrokes give off a not-too-happy mood. The steep angle of the sink is off-putting too. This whole work is unbalanced and kinda sad.

But why would the dish drainer be full while you are cleaning the turkey? You'll get turkey spray from the cleaning all over the formerly clean dishes. I think you are mistaken. This is the kitchen of someone who obivously doesn't care about the health of their guests.

I mean there I nice things I can say about it. The scene has what one might actually expect to see. Turkey thawing in the sink, dish drainer, bottle of Ajax, the faucet turned to stay out of the way of the turkey.

But it's cartoony and on top of that makes you wonder if the artist was really high while doodling it,

Every Communist I've ever met was angry, and never happy about anything, but smug and superior works too.

Also, "looking down on America" works with the visual angle in the painting. There's heavy meaning in how we see the bird, maybe the most recognizable symbol of the holiday, and its treatment in the painting.

I grew up very poor and naive (did not own a car until I was 26 -- rode my bicycle everywhere).

Anywho, my first love had a beautiful red '66 Mustang that she generally wouldn't let me drive (a beast with no power steering). One day, thinking it would be "cute" -- while passing it in the driveway on my way to her front door, I wrote "WASH ME!" on the dusty hood with my finger.

She got extremely angry on seeing that (she loved that car more than me -- once broke down in tears of grief reserved for funerals upon the news that her stepfather had wrecked it); unbeknownst to me I had scratched those words into the paint.

She made me pay for a complete buffing of it out ...

(plus assorted friends and family) 4 top Dem consulting firms together got about $600 million of that cash; where did it go? Who knows?

290 Interesting that the cheat machine wasn't cranked up to 11 for Hillary or Kamala, but was for Biden.

For Hillary they didn't think they'd need it. After Obama was elected there were a series of best selling books about how the US was now permanently Democratic and the peoples' glorious Communist future was at hand.

For Kamala, the RNC actually fought back, and did effective GOTV and ballot harvesting plus a few dozen lawsuits.

313 I love those one-piece sink and drainboard sinks. They are a completely modular kitchen sink with cabinets, and drawers. It is a post-WW2 design, modular, for the building boom. I have one in my house, though it was probably used since the house was built in 1965.
They do have the problem of not standing up to use for 60 years, but I think they are classy, and they are easy to install (they do weigh as much as a piano, but then . . .) and they are easy to clean.

There is a modern one that uses a Corian sink and integrated drainboards too, and they are also the tits.

As I understand it, the reason they ditched Biden was their polling showed Trump would get 400EVs against him.

I don't know why that painting never sold/s

This reminds me of that painting, in a way. Makes the turkey look unappetizing.

The pressure to succeed beyond her ability must have been awful. And I do think she knew she was in over her head. Being shoved up the ladder, always knowing that she didn't and couldn't have earned any of it....

I think this explains all her inappropriate laughter and word salad. Her roles were well beyond her capabilities, so she would cackle & babble to cover for not knowing what to do or say

Eh.

She wasn't shoved.

She pushed to get there herself. Every indication is that she worked her ass off in July to get the delegates to support her after Biden dropped out.

She wanted this. No one forced it upon her.

372 I realize y'all have moved waaaay past the painting by now, but that one is a normal picture for Thanksgiving here. Looked kinda cheerful to me. The turkey never completely thaws in the fridge, so I rinse it very thoroughly in the sink with hot water - works like a champ! Had a relative that worked for a big chicken/turkey processor not to be named who assured me it was a great ide to rinse the thing inside and out when it comes out of his workplace - not that I needed convincing. 'course, by the time I finish typing this, I bet y'all will be on another thread, ja?

376 >>top Kamala aides are admitting that she *never* led in any internal polls
-------

Several of us remarked at the time that she was ALREADY on the ticket and it made zero sense that she would instantly gain 10 or 15 points just by being pushed to the top without a vote. And that Trump would lose points. Never made a lick of sense.

They tried to engineer a preference cascade via a psy op and it failed miserably.

My worry was NEVER about any polls but 100% about the Steal.

Steals of that magnitude require a certain foundation in actual legit votes to work to maintain any level of credibility, however thin. That foundation had crumbled away and they knew it (and we have the numbers to illustrate it now). There wasn't a point, so they didn't bother, and decided just to loot the war chest while they could.

I'm not talking about this election. I mean before. By this year she's a drunk who is constantly hearing the toadies say how brilliant she is. And she believes it. I would almost bet that she was being used by the grift machine and believed them when they said she could win. Drunk and retarded are bad combo.
