I console myself by understanding that he'll be dead soon. He's 72. My mom didn't make it past 74. People die all the time.

It's not photoshopped. I think there are probably multiple people there who are exactly that fucking stupid. Including the guy behind the Resolute desk

I can tolerate this painting if I imagine it as Lincoln giving Teddy Roosevelt the nod to strangle Trump with his own entrails.

That's really how it reads to me, especially as Trump is making eye contact with no one, not even the viewer.

I’d like to believe that’s Elizabeth Warren walking up to the table and that she’s going to kick Trump in the nuts when she gets there.

I do like that everyone else is comfortable while Don is posing, wooden, and fake.

Ike, Teddy, and Abe have no business in the painting. Otherwise, you can just put his Andrew Jackson worship in there, and I'd be all "Yep, that's about right. A little mean spirited to the Bushes, including them, but a lot of where we are now happened under their watch and directive." but the dissonance from equating himself to sitting at the same table as Ike, Teddy, and Abe. Sad, sad attempt to adjust history to make his present seem better.

Nah, Andrew Jackson is in the artist's companion piece (The Democratic Club):

I'd like to believe that he is making an ironic statement by including Jackson in The Democratic Club and Lincoln in The Republican Club, since they illustrate the polar reversal between the parties over time, but I doubt that is actually the case.

It was a gift from preeminent car thief, con man, and shitbag Darrell Issa.

Thomas told The Daily Beast that Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA), a fan of the artist’s work, gave the print to Trump.

Yeah. Like...if he did one of these parody videos/songs it would have been impressive. But he just keeps making more and they're all fantastic. Maybe someone will nominate him for the National Medal of Arts? :D

Not a pic or video, but an awesome online tool for visualizing changes to the House of Representatives election by election throughout American history (or at least since 1840).

Donald Trump’s Fake Renoir: The Untold Story

Enlarge Image
Years ago, while reporting a book about a real-estate developer and reality-TV star named Donald Trump, Tim O’Brien accompanied his subject on a private jet ride to Los Angeles. The plane, as you can imagine, was overly ornate; hanging on one wall, for instance, was a painting of two young girls—one in an orange hat, the other wearing a floral bonnet—in the impressionistic style of Renoir.

Curious, O’Brien asked Trump about the painting: was it an original Renoir? Trump replied in the affirmative. It was, he said. “No, it’s not Donald,” O’Brien responded. But, once again, Trump protested that it was.

“Donald, it’s not,” O’Brien said adamantly. “I grew up in Chicago, that Renoir is called Two Sisters on the Terrace, and it’s hanging on a wall at the Art Institute of Chicago.” He concluded emphatically: “That’s not an original.”

That one might not be an original Renoir, but I'm pretty sure the one in his office is. Or dining room? I can't tell from the pic. None of that matters, because the thing on the wall is a thing. And, believe me, it's the greatest thing there's ever been, ever.

I don't do Drumpf very well, but some of you totally nail it.

Particularly liked Randy's substitution for Melania's hand. No wonder Drumpf feels insecure. His hands ARE tiny compared to that frankesteinian construct.

That's pretty cool. Looks like we're hoping for another 1932.

Traffic doesn't look like it's changed much. I see pedestrians walking in front of moving vehicles, and no one's using a turn signal.

That video needs a billion views. Both sides. Everyone.

I'd love to see a genuine representation of 95% voter turnout. I'd put good money on the silent majority being more progressive.

Nice! If that shoe worked for you and you like the ride, keep your eye out for other Nike’s with React foam. The Odyssey React is also a great shoe, and a little less expensive than the Epics.
