I know this is beyond the point but these people once controlled the most advanced intelligence apparatus in the history of the world and today they threw the full weight of their movement behind a conspiracy theory, that unraveled in real time, because they don't know different sports teams.

This. It has always been this. A sitting American president did this. And because he did this, he should have been convicted and put behind bars. And the fact that we never held him accountable for these crimes will forever stain this country. And we may never recover from it.👇

Morning Sun by Edward Hopper, 1952, Columbus Museum of Art (Ohio) ##ArtHistory #ModernArt #Modernism #Neoclassicism
A woman sits on a bed, facing sunlight coming in from the window. She is wearing a coral-colored dress and her hair is in a simple bun. Her face, in profile, has a contemplative expression.


Hopper's paintings often depict one solitary figure. The loneliness evoked in his paintings create an uncanny urban scene.

The painting may be a reference to Edgar Degas’s Woman at a Window. It is known that his wife Jo gifted him a book on Degas's art before he created Morning Sun. Both Degas's and Hopper's paintings feature a woman whose profile is highlighted by a nearby window.

The Bread & Circuses phase of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire is saying, "Whoa. That's a crazy lot of bread! Your circuses must really be something." #politics
New York Times article headline and summary from September 10, 2026, stating, "Trump Wants to Give Out $5,000 Checks. It Would Cost More Than $1 Trillion.
The president’s idea to hand every American adult a “dividend” if Republicans keep control of Congress likely would need congressional approval, exacerbate the deficit and lead to a rise in inflation, experts said."
