Re: Americans Don't Want a Hitler-inspired Arch by Sabrina Haake: outsfl.com/the-haake-ta... At least he didn’t decide that 1776 was a good number. Washington’s tallest structure, the Washington Monument, stands approximately 555 feet tall. A 1,776-foot arch would dwarf it. Better not tell Trump.

I made these in 2017 long before ChatGPT and other AI illustrators could make something like this in a few minutes. I used rudimentary web tools and each word had to be added separately. I printed lot of them and I carried them and gave them to people - and still have three left. Click to enlarge.

Sen. Eric Schmitt’s lie collapsed .Before checking his facts, he accused Smith of perjury and called him a “dirtbag.” Laughing it off afterward misses the point: a senator used a public hearing to attack a witness’s integrity on a mistaken premise. He wants to by the next VP.

Assuming Putin comes to the G20 - to be held at Trump's Doral Club (travesty as that is) I wonder if he'll greet him at the airport and roll out a red carpet for him too. It may have to be an even plusher carpet than he had rolled out for Xi.

Sabrina Haake writes ""Trump, clearly on the take, says all America needs for AI is a smart president. Let’s make it happen in November by turning him into a lame duck so the adults in the room can do what needs done until a smart president takes over." Be careful what you wish for.. " My caution..
