Posted by: tubal at December 03, 2025 09:35 AM (pDt9x)


Women have been depliating since Egyptian times. But you inspired a thought - I was reading a bio of the Everleigh sisters, who owned the most luxurious brothel in Chicago at the turn of the century. Their women were plucked for aesthetic reasons, as the Everleighs knew that they could offer what their customers couldn't get at home - "a clean woman."

Is the lack of pubic hair here a subtle suggestion that the ladies here are sisters of the night?

Posted by: Mary Poppins' Practically Perfect Piercing (aka Eloquent Depression) at December 03, 2025 09:49 AM (ufSfZ)

86 This is a remarkable painting. Garofalo captures a sense of carnal desire and affection for both the men and women. This is desire, not assault. Their postures are relaxed and natural. The pace seems languid, not rushed. The scene is idyllic. The colors are bright but not garish. It has the conventions of the time with the landscape in the background, sometimes through a window or, in this case, framed by the tree and lovers in the foreground. To my mind, the figures are less wooden, more natural, than is often the case for this period. There is a glowing quality that is lovely.

I don't know what the lizard on the tree trunk is supposed to mean.

I would equate this to the Mona Lisa in style and effect. No doubt more knowledgeable people (almost everyone) would disagree.

136 zaftig

American Heritage® Dictionary
adjective
Having a full, shapely figure. Used of a woman.

Merriam-Webster or less commonly zoftig
of a woman
: having a full rounded figure : pleasingly plump

Cambridge Dictionary
(of a woman) having large breasts and hips and not thin, but in a way that is attractive :
Marilyn Monroe was sometimes called full-figured or zaftig.

Zaftig Has Yiddish Origins
Zaftig has been in use in English—mainly in the United States—since the 1920s; a couple of the earliest known uses are found in Variety magazine, in reviews of burlesque dancers. The word comes from the Yiddish zaftik, meaning "juicy" or "succulent," which in turn comes from zaft, meaning "juice" or "sap."

142 It's fascinating to see these renaissance artists use of skin color, since it's not about race - the men are well tanned and brownish, showing that they work and are active outdoors. For men, it is a shameful thing to be chalky white.
But for women of the era, an earthy color denotes servile status, and those at the top of the social scale were supposed to be indoors constantly, doing nothing but lounging around and waiting for Men to pay attention to them.

Shriveled Penis Head (D-AZ) stuck his head in a meat grinder as an Deep State op and is now the focus of ridicule for his and his colleagues' idiotic public plea inciting sedition in the ranks of the Armed Forces.

This is exactly the sort of tale told by idiots promoted by someone like our Deep State IC community and is an example of their malicious incompetence at even handling a fake and gay info op.

Apparently the speech was to lay groundwork for the fake WaPo story about how the US was killing poor surviving narco terrorists on purpose which would cause international unrest and allow Dems to put Hegseth and Trump on the defensive.

I suspect much rubbing of hands by people like Collins, Murcow, McConnell, or Mike Turner in the House exhibiting the glee of Uniparty type GOP members who were probably just waiting to try to force Hegseth out of office and damage Trump.

News flash, it failed assholes and Kelly's colleagues in that video are quietly backing away while Kelly takes the incoming fire. NYT, of all papers, put the nails in the coffin of the op.

I suspect much rubbing of hands by people like Collins, Murcow, McConnell, or Mike Turner in the House exhibiting the glee of Uniparty type GOP members who were probably just waiting to try to force Hegseth out of office and damage Trump.


Mike Benz and others have suggested that the way the op was supposed to go was:

1) Suggest military should ignore illegal orders
2) Killing "shipwrecked" narco-terrorists is illegal
3) Hegseth out, this allows Deep State operatives like SecArmy Driscoll to lead a military coup
4) Kamala?/Obama?/Newsom? installed as dictator for life

Not so sure about that. Being held up as a product of ridicule as a malicious and stupid penis head is probably going to crimp his future career as a pol. The drip drip drip of investigations has also uncovered his tango with the Chicoms making spy balloons which mail in ballots somehow failed to understand when being cast by ballot harvesters in AZ. Would not be surprised, that Kelly, like Gallegos, are both in the pockets of the Mexican drug cartels as well.

The truth is, if you are going to put yourself out in the public glare, you best be as pure as Caesar's wife because all the corruption that Congress critters routinely engage in, gets highlighted in an era where almost no one really likes their politicians anymore.

couple things ..

first off it was a good win. the Ds put a LOT into that special, it was a massive focus for them (their sole focus, really).

second the R guy was kinda bland, but that's ok

third, Blackburn won her race there by 1 point. so he won by 9ish, estimates were 10, he did well.

fourth, recent R-directed redistricting to increase R reps in TN watered down the "Trump Plus Eleventy!" aspect of the district.

overall, we should be happy about this and good for TN. it does show the downside of redistricting, you can dilute your strongholds a bit. some say CA might fall into this trap, who knows.

After the Signal controversy, it should be obvious to everyone that the administration isn't going to allow any outside attacks to land on the highest levels. Yeah, they got a mid-level scalp (whose assistant was probably responsible), but Warren wasn't out calling for Hegseth's resignation to get a guy below him.

I expect some of the lowest levels of turnover in cabinet level positions from this administration.

The Republican won by the anticipated amount. Everyone who was gonna vote for a Dem voted for her but there were more against.

Media bullshit including those Conservative TM sources on the right. Cook had the district at +10 GOP, Van Epps won by 9. Even turnout was about identical to 2022 when the incumbent Green ran in newish district winning by an outmatched black female in money and general dislike of the Biden WH while the GOP rode a mini Red wave into control of the House.

The massive spending resulted in Dems banking early votes and the typical GOP dawdling to wait for election day voting trend that has become evident. Trump's team, in his overperformance, made a massive switch to embracing early voting in 2024 instead of the wait for election day.

In part, that is because the GOP can no longer rely on busy folks with jobs waiting to vote and being stiffed in places where suddenly ballots run out or the machines jam like in AZ 2022 or in PA for the state Supreme Court retention races.

217 Congratulations to Aftyn Behn. You ran a great campaign against all the odds. It took Trump and all his sycopants to barely win against you! You now have national attention and support for future campaigns!

You can thank Republican led gerrymandering that leads to "cracking" of neighborhoods based on their political leaning (and skin color). Independent Redistricting Commissions are the way forward to give the people an equal voice in the elections...

Meanwhile, from the DNC…crickets in terms of support. I am still baffled by why they are not running media ads hammering every lie Trump is telling.

her campaign was mid when it came to attacking Trump. Instead, the campaign focused on affordability, and then late in the game, the Epstein files, when voters wanted someone to FIGHT Trump.

Seriously, she would have won if she wasn't such a weirdo. Dems need to nominate someone who, at the bare minimum, doesn't go out trashing the community she wants to represent.

Trump and the big money did not win this! Peoples meanness did. corruption, pedophilia, killing people in boats, teargassing one year-old s kidnapping people is what MAGA wants.

Trump overperforms on ballots plus he is in a general election. Van Epps ran within one point of the overall partisan makeup of the district, the so called normal vote, Cooks Political Report, no fan of the GOP, has the district as GOP +10. Cooks has been doing this for years. Van Epps got the generic GOP vote in a district where he was probably outspent and had much less fawning free media coverage than his idiotic opponent.

California, in particular, accepts mail in ballots postmarked or with no post mark received after Election Day. PA Sup. Ct. has done similar crap eviscerating laws designed to prevent fraud and did so in 2020 despite Alito's demand on holding off counting such ballots. And I also have seen locally where blue precincts ignore all the requirements for ballot processing including postmarks, spoilage, and so on.

I would not be surprised to see Alito writing the decision banning the practice.

257 Two Couples with Cupid,
Benvenuto Tisi (Garofalo)
Painted about 1535-45, probably a Court commission

"When the National Gallery purchased the picture as part of a larger collection in 1860, the director was concerned about the reception of such an erotic painting in a public collection. He sent it to the National Gallery of Scotland, presumably thinking there was a smaller public in Edinburgh and less likelihood of moral outrage reaching the national press. It remained in Edinburgh until 1932."

Nice landscape at the rear but I otherwise he dragged out the painting of today's art selection for way too many years. (The lizard is a cute, colorful touch like a mini reminder of Adam, Eve and the Garden of Eden.)

294 Special elections are not predictive.
Posted by: TheJamesMadison

Special elections are more about party organization and do have minor candidate and times effects. Behn was a bad candidate who was probably helped by the fact that the GOP media hits came late after she had banked a large vote share already in early voting. Timing of oppo hits is very different nowadays due to that fact. Needless to say, Democrats are going to go all out in 2026 for hitting Trump and the GOP on affordability--groceries, health care, etc.

The GOP relied on its negative ads in a very generic campaign and counted on the overall partisan makeup of the district for it to work. From what I have gleaned, the local and state GOP did their typical and stupid flyers, robocalls, endorsement, etc until the national GOP swooped in. The fact that snow occurred on Monday rather than Tuesday in TN probably avoided a closer race.

Basically, the state and local GOP do not really want to mobilize working class voters because they are not predictable and might vote populist on ballot issues and split tickets rather than what GOP Inc wants. Plus, GOTV brings in a much lower percentage than mailers, ads, etc

318 A lot of the rot in the local and state GOP organizations is that most of the folks running them have a tight little racket going where the party officials anoint a candidate with ready donor money if that candidate plays ball and hires the campaign consultant friends and follows the GOP campaign playbook. So you have an iron triangle where donors want GOP candidates to do favors for them in office, the party sets up the link between candidates and donors, and the prepackaged campaign consultants make sure that the GOP candidate does not go off the range. Occasionally, GOP party and campaign consultants essentially grift some poor rich sod into running what they privately know is an unwinnable race because the rich sod often finances the campaign. Thus, the task is not necessarily winning, but insider grift, influence peddling, and rich donor satisfaction.

Outsider candidates are kept out by running the splitter strategy, denial and slow walking any party campaign resources, leaks to the press to undermine candidacies, and so on. All in all, it promotes mediocrity, less voter (and party) engagement, and generic candidates.

I'm not sure about the strip cause I loved reading it in the 90s. Although they did do a lot of reruns towards the end. I will say those lesser known specials were not good.

This goes back to whomever is vetting people like Driscoll. Typically a name is floated, then vetted if there's interest. This person wasn't hired by Trump in person. He was "proffered" by someone else who basically vouched for them.

The people doing the vetting and vouching are at odds with Trump and his administration.

This was (and apparently still is) a real issue with Trump's administration. He's either blind to it, or whoever's responsible for the vetting of appointees is playing for the other side.

Bondi is there in part because previous AGs have let DoJ pros run amuck creating fake investigations of Trump and his colleagues.

AGs follow two patterns, crony and self serving outsider backstabbing bastards out to burnish their own reps for fame and/or money. Nixon is an example that was done in when he moved crony Mitchell from AG to oversee his reelection. That meant you get the Saturday Night massacre when a normal crony AG would know not to appoint an asshole Kennedy associate as special prosecutor in the first place. But Nixon had to work with who the Dem Senate would allow him to have as AG in the second term.

Clinton picked Reno after his crony attempts got shot down including the departure of DoJ asst AG Webb Hubbell and Reno messed up Clinton along with the independent counsel law.

Carter got messed up by his own AGs Civiletti and Bell. And so on.

Obama picked a corrupt Eric Holder on purpose and later Loretta Lynch because neither of them wanted higher office or rep, they wanted to cash in.

369 Trump pardons Cuellar.

For years, the Biden Administration weaponized the Justice System against their Political Opponents, and anyone who disagreed with them. One of the clearest examples of this was when Crooked Joe used the FBI and DOJ to “take out” a member of his own Party after Highly Respected Congressman Henry Cuellar bravely spoke out against Open Borders, and the Biden Border “Catastrophe.” Sleepy Joe went after the Congressman, and even the Congressman’s wonderful wife, Imelda, simply for speaking the TRUTH. It is unAmerican and, as I previously stated, the Radical Left Democrats are a complete and total threat to Democracy! They will attack, rob, lie, cheat, destroy, and decimate anyone who dares to oppose their Far Left Agenda, an Agenda that, if left unchecked, will obliterate our magnificent Country. Because of these facts, and others, I am hereby announcing my full and unconditional PARDON of beloved Texas Congressman Henry Cuellar, and Imelda. Henry, I don’t know you, but you can sleep well tonight — Your nightmare is finally over!

Posted by: Martini Farmer
=========
You actually have it backwards. What the administration does is float a couple of names to the Senate after ensuring no criminal records, etc. and the Senators over that particular committee, in this case Armed Services, point to acceptable candidates. In part, this is because the Sec of Army as a civilian has power over DoW or DoD contracting for that service and usually senators specialize in grifting relationships between the defense industry and a particular nominee. That is why Trump went with a former Boeing Exec POS (Esper) as DoD Secretary after his first one, Mattis, ignored orders, etc. on the behest of the Deep State. These are who he could get through Senate Armed Services Cmte at the time.

As always, follow the money and past relationships with Senators on a cmte and figure out what their donors want.
