Baby-faced. Scraggy beard. Flabby body. 3-inch pecker.
Retired New York designer who became a photographer @70. And a better thinker, year by year, since around 20. Thinkers don’t live their lives going backwards.

Trump is tough on crime. Also, Trump has moved sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell to a Club Fed where she can take yoga classes, play tennis, and is eligible for “work” release.

The low number of “likes” is telling. They represent the embarrassingly high level of visual illiteracy—and an ignorant disregard for aesthetics. Couple to that the exploitation of cultural ambivalence (to put it kindly) by those with self-aggrandizing motivation, and you get what you got.

Law enforcement officers should never cover their faces when making arrests or conceal their identities (unless they are working undercover). They work for us. We have a right to know who they are. These face coverings are frightening & unAmerican, as though they're ashamed of what they're doing.

There are 7,591 words in the U.S. Constitution. Not one is "bible", "Jesus", "Judeo", "Christian" or "God". Separation of church and state guarantees ALL Americans the right to practice ANY religion. Or none. Which part of "religious freedom" is not as clear as a church bell?
