I saved this meme from when he was first appointed and his investigations were underway.

This works for me. They do not like it, but the pill is in before they hit peak outrage.

I see that same agent is positioned behind him that was making faces of disgust when he was seated behind him at Graham's funeral.

This one lives in my backyard. It's been a couple years. Initially I couldn't touch him. Now he shows up twice a day for food and petting. In the winter/snow he'll step inside to eat next to the patio door, then returns outside when he's finished.

Tremon is almost the twin of the one not looking at the camera in my photo of the boys on the bookcase. This is Duncan.

Two cats here. Two litterboxes. Boxes are on opposite sides of the laundry room in the basement. They routinely pee in one and poop in the other. The cats in question (brothers):

Most incompetent administration ever. And apparently the weather in DC today is in the 70s and cloudy. Very severe. Very, very severe.

And it looks like he's wearing a bustle. No, it's not just the wind, his coat consistently looks like this throughout. I'm wondering how Whiskey Pete allowed a woman of color to escort them through the event...

Yes, it's been altered. As a photographer/Photoshop user, the first thing I always do is level the horizon. I leveled the horizon on this image. Newsom is still noticeably taller than the circus peanut.

My mother, looking stylish, for Mother's Day. The irony is not lost on me that she's dressed to the nines while standing against her front porch in small-town rural New Hampshire. Where was she headed, dressed like that? I'll never know.

I was a poll worker here in Ohio yesterday for the primary election. Always an interesting experience. The lack of knowledge of the process by many voters is both amusing and concerning. I have several stories, but this is my favorite (clipped from an email to a friend):

The irony here is OFF THE CHARTS. If not for "progressivism," this person wouldn't be an equal citizen in the USA, an attorney, a judge, or legally married to his white wife. Just to list a few benefits of "progressivism" he has enjoyed in his long life.

Flossie is one of three outdoor cats I feed (along with at least one neighbor) here in my little condo complex. Yesterday it hit 78 degrees and sunny. She was happily rolling around on my sidewalk.
