the idea was to make them as gifts for friends but i never went full production. I have most of the stuff to make some, so if i get inspired i might make a few. i designed variants like long and medium hair, super slacker Christian, German expressionist and Bedrock Christian.
going through some files and found some of "The Christian Inaction Figure" stuff, the original card was cut & paste. the figure spawned from a college art history class on toys, and i made a screen print on canvas doll of myself with long hair. 2nd gen was photocopy glued to wood, 3rd cut stencil.
if the CDC didn't do anything, the death count would've been even higher. but if Donnie had his way those deaths wouldn't have been reported as COVID deaths. remember "If you stop testing, the numbers go down."
he's been stuck at "schoolyard bully" mentally his entire life, likely because he was never disciplined or held accountable. he never learned the consequences of his actions.
i've started thinking of classic animation as multiverses. each universe created by a studio and how they exist in a broader world of cartoons. Warner Brothers being the most cohesive and Hanna-Barbera being the most fragmented.
his communication team is top notch.
found this political cartoon from the 70's
tell lie, loud and repetitive so his followers believe it and don't question it. the "I did my own research" crowd doesn't seem to want to do the research.
he uses the military as props, as long as they fill his purpose of looking like a tough guy, he doesn't care about them.
and they are being cycled out at 29 days because benefits kick in at 30 days of deployment. he uses the military as props without regard. pulling them away from family and jobs for relatively nothing more than photo ops and his intimidation plan, just to do landscaping.
ceremony to be held at Four Seasons Total Landscaping.
i'll never understand why his staff won't tell him these kinds of posts make him look like a laughing stock to the rest of the world.
when he does expire, the GOP/MAGA crowd will demand a huge state funeral bigger than any other president. i also suspect they will try to build some monument and give him a holiday. this will all be crammed down our throats.
ornate baroque "gold" clashes with the neoclassical architecture of the White House. it just screams trying to hard. he thinks gold makes everything look richer, when in reality it's just tacky.
i think this can be said with a lot of Tesla products, sky high promises and less than satisfactory results. the "move fast, break stuff" way of thinking doesn't work with the auto industry.
does any other world leader post stuff like this? this kind of thing is beneath the presidency and makes him and by extension, America, look like a joke. how can anyone take him seriously?
exclusively at his properties so he can charge the government for everything and line his pockets.
he must wear his merchandise whenever he's not wearing his blue suit. it's pure ego. if he were to wear someone else's logo or brand, what's left of his mind would collapse.
you know when he finally does expire, the GOP and MAGA will no doubt demand a huge state funeral not seen since Lincoln and force it down our throats. Then decide he needs a memorial and a holiday.
i am surprised he's made it this long. i doubt he'll make it to the end of the year.
heading into Weekend At Bernie's territory.
are we heading into a Weekend At Bernie's presidency or more of a Dave situation where he's incapacitated and they announce it when it's the best time after they get what they want?
he's always been tacky, he is a living caricature of a rich person. he thinks having gold all around makes him look more important, but it just shows how clownish he really is.
he just throws out big numbers, hoping his followers don't understand and think they are getting some kind of savings. it's also part of his need to sound smart because deep down he knows he's not.
putting some thought into buying a fat tire electric trike, i've been home bound since my car decided it didn't want to be a car anymore. I think a trike would be best for stability and a big basket would be ideal for grocery shopping.
i believe there is a tool that can give you a bruise on your hand in a toolbox, it's called a hammer.
A lot of these politicians don't seem to remember that they serve all their constituents and they answer to everyone not just those who voted for them.
one would hope blue states will hire some or most of the people with expertise in these fields that Donnie is firing. the collective brain drain from his admin will likely hurt the U.S. for years. he has never worked for the people, he works for himself and whoever praises him or gives him money.
i still think someone should follow Rafael around with a boombox playing the Canadian national anthem, no offense Canada.
he is entirely ego driven, even if it's something as abstract as using his number for a fighter jet name. i'm sure he'll try to rename something after himself or the GOP will decide to do something like build a monument or rename navy ship.
GOP won't do anything unless it affects them directly. they will laugh if a democratic colleague is shot or insight violence against the "other" because they really don't care.
Bugs, Daffy and Porky interact with humans, talking with them. Can Granny understand Tweety and Sylvester? can Bugs have conversations with Sylvester?
my deep philosophical thought of the day is about how loony tunes characters are divided up as those who basically live like humans and "pets" that talk like Tweety and Sylvester and how they live in the same world.
why yes, i've found another impractical car that i would like to purchase, a 1951 Pontiac business coupe.
He'll lay claim to anything, last time he was in office he wanted a Van Gogh painting (Landscape with Snow, 1888) for the residence but the Guggenheim refused, I suspect it he got his hands on it, he'd never return it.
It was 6 wars not that long ago. He just makes numbers up, kind of like how he calculates his net worth based on how he feels
I had a stroke at 49 because of stress and high blood pressure and I wasn't as unhealthy as him.
He never understood what the presidency is, not in 2016 and not now, he ran for king all 3 times. He thinks he has unlimited powers because no one will hold him accountable.
" Lots of people..." Is code for " I'm making this up." I seriously doubt any citizen of the U.S. wants a dictatorship. He is the only one because he wants to be king.
He thinks the presidency is a reality show.
i once joked that he was actually Andy Kaufman doing a long form bit that got out of hand.
I don't have kids and I worry about the direction for future generations, I vote thinking about them.
Is it up to ten now? I thought it was seven a few days ago.
what happens when he gets to Uganda? is he imprisoned or just put on the street? hopefully he'll be able to apply for asylum someplace safe like Canada.
he thinks he can run the country like his businesses, what he says goes. i think in his mind he believes he "owns" the country. it's part of his fundamental misunderstanding of how the presidency works.
"The Flag, when it is in such condition that it is no longer a fitting emblem for display, should be destroyed in a dignified way, preferably by burning." from National Flag Foundation nationalflagfoundation.org/etiquette/ho...
how much for a MAGA hat or tRump flag?
every once in a while i'll find something that just fits my ascetic. the removal of a store sign left this. it fits with the abstract photo images and paintings i made a few years ago.
facts don't matter as long as you can anger the base and blame someone else for everything.
though that's not how it works, one would hope many cabinet officials would resign or be replaced by whomever becomes POTUS. if convicted for treason, you'd think the next admin would want to distance themselves from the previous POTUS policies.
i think he believes he "owns" the country and everything happens because of him.
they don't want to get on his bad side and be punished for criticizing him.
he thinks that because he "won" the election, everything is his decision, he doesn't understand the separation of powers. he'll take credit for everything or derail it if his demands aren't met.
when he does expire, the GOP will no doubt demand a huge state funeral not seen since Lincoln. Then decide he needs a memorial and a holiday.
you can get real looking metal security badges online and at uniform stores, I had a generic badge when i worked loss prevention for Tower Records. a coworker had a star badge in his wallet and got into bars without having to pay cover charge because the door guy assumed he was a cop.
it has some of his favorite things in it. himself, a young blond (Ivanka) and gold.
thanks to shortsighted conservatives, China will become the dominant suppliers of solar panels, we could have been decades ago if not for oil, coal lobbyists and stupid policies from GOP presidents.
Not only that, it's estimated to cost One million a day with a possible increase as time goes by. Military is not law enforcement.
Having armed National Guard troops in D.C. doesn't make me feel safer. I will need to make a business trip to D.C. in the next year and i am not looking forward to it. not saying they will be there in a year, but who knows.
Donnie is incredibly gullible and thinks Putin is smart for staying in power for so long, he's been in control since 1999, first as president then prime minister with expanded powers then back to president with longer term.
if you say or do something that is critical of the admin, especially if you were in his former admin, you are an enemy. Donnie demands loyalty but gives none. he's not even loyal to the Constitution. he'll turn on you when you are no longer useful or you disagree with him.
looks like someone landed a federation starship on Lake Street.
how about Venture, Ames, Montgomery Ward and Woolworth's.
is he going to wear a tactical blue suit and oversized red tie? or is he going with the make do ICE uniform of jeans, sneaker, t-shirt, face mask and a generic police vest?
I think his handlers give him fake poll numbers, or just the ones they've cureated. Or he's just making it up in an attempt to distract and make his followers believe it's true.
he thinks because he "won" an election, he controls everything like he owns the country and has some say over private companies, he is overstepping. if he or the admin feels a business isn't 'loyal' he'll just try to extort them or punish them.
i don't think he'll be satisfied until everything fits into his view. he wants control of everything, museums, the media, history.
Putin knows how to play him, he plays into his ego and insecurities about elections, and how he's unpopular.
he thinks that because he "won" the election, he controls everything, like he owns the country. constitution be damned.
do they want voter data so they can use it to intimidate voters and take away services if they voted against him?
i think he believes that "winning" the election means it's his country to do with as he sees fit, like he owns it and everything must bend to his will or vision.
every time open an ice mountain water bottle it shoots out the top because the use flimsy plastic. only drinking it because my water delivery dropped off 3 cases instead of a large 5 gallon.
he so wants to remain retentive for the rest of his life, he also fears what would possibly happen if a democrat was elected after him and a DOJ that isn't in his pocket. canceling elections would cause significant backlash. he likely won't make it to 2028.
just looks cheap, all the gold doesn't match the neoclassical architecture of the White House. he wants to live in a palace because he thinks he's royalty. he could have gone subtle with just a frame or two, but went full Liberace or mob boss trying to hard.
new slogan: "Oklahoma, taking a meat cleaver to education"
they have a teacher shortage and won't likely have many new teachers with the new "America First" teacher certification test they want to administer for new teachers to make sure they aren't "woke."
he believes his own lies. that or he really does have dementia or some other mental disorder.
i assume the current ambassador from the US to NATO will be there and push Donnie's agenda of pandering to Russia.
He views European leaders as weak and below him. He thinks he is more important than any of them. He only admires or respects the strong man type of leaders because he wants to be one or thought of as one.
impractical law enforcement vehicle other than highway patrol.
some suburban police departments have surplus military vehicles, they will likely never use them for anything other than shows. my home town has a military spec Humvee that they roll out for the local car show, the only action it gets.
i think one reason why Donnie doesn't treat him with respect would be because Zelensky wouldn't give him the false information about Biden he so desperately wanted. to Donnie that's unforgivable and makes him undeserving of respect.
the backwards ball cap just screams unprofessional. the only times i've seen a backwards ball cap on an officer were swat snipers. it's more at home at a limp bizkit concert than security at a national monument.
i doubt it, he'll make it about himself and make some sort of demand in favor of Russia, he'll try to push some demand and when he doesn't get it he'll walk away and blame others. or he won't pay attention at all.
one would hope, but Donnie will try and dominate the talks, act like a petulant child, make it about himself and somehow side with Russia.
Love is not a battlefield: It is an emotion without form and thus cannot exist as any type of geographical landmass where battle may occur.
You know when you have a dream about piglets and baby alligators at an 80's Burger King with an AI drive thru, your mind might be a messy place.
what did the delivery worker do that this kind of action was deemed necessary? has the company he works for released a statement?
is there a jd vance tracker for all his vacations?
he did it twice in the same press conference.
didn't the White House backtrack a few days ago when Donnie said he was going to Russia? Alaska isn't Russia.
he can't accept that he lost an election so he constantly brings it up. he can't bear being thought of as a looser, even after "wining" the 2024 election.
he believes in the over inflated hype that he's the worlds best deal maker, it has only gotten worse since 2016.
the perma-grievance is never ending. he will never let it go no matter how much evidence comes out. he is the victim in his mind. constantly bringing it up feeds the validity of the story as he probably knows without help he'd have lost.
I get that it was sarcasm, it's just I wouldn't put it past hi m.
Norway's exports to the US are Petroleum, fish and raw nickel, I'm sure they could find buyers elsewhere.
he hasn't done anything deserving of a Nobel prize. he is so delusional that he thinks he controls the world and can demand anything.
he's taken more vacations in 6 months than I've taken in my entire adult life.
In his mind he thinks he's the best and greatest president/ world leader ever. He hasn't done anything that would merit a Nobel prize.
How many vacations has he gone on since January? Likely more than I've gone on my entire adult life.
