The Russian oligarch who paid for DJTJ's wedding said he would also fund their divorce. Umar Kremlev, who's close to Putin, said. “If it fails like his 1st one, the divorce is on me., I’ll cover the lawyers & pay alimony in crypto.” Kremlev won't pay for all Trump divorces.“I’ve told Melania no.”

Despite Trump’s attempts to slow the US transition away from fossil fuels, that’s exactly what other nations are doing. Renewables are so cost-effective that the transition will keep going, but Trump's determined to preserve fossil fuel companies’ profits for a few years by hindering clean energy.

In a failed “gotcha” bid, Sen. Schmitt (R-Mo) confused his ass with a hole in the ground. To Jack Smith, Schmitt asked, “Am I sitting over here on a hole in the ground?” “No,” Smith said. “You’re sitting on your ass.” The mix-up eclipsed a goof by Sen. Grassley (R-Ia), who mistook shit for Shinola.

Earlier this summer, the Trump administration claimed that there were more than 15,000 noncitizens voting on Nevada’s voter rolls. Last month, that number shrank to 185. Now it’s zero—a perfect example of the administration’s frantic, fraught effort to find voter fraud that doesn’t exist.

This is priceless. Check out how local news is reporting on Sen Eric Schmidt’s clown-show grilling of Jack Smith. They found Jack Smith at the game… “Top corner, section 109, row 1. In fact, that seat doesn’t even exist in Atlanta.”

The TX Senate race got ugly as R Paxton accused D Talarico of lacking a crime record. “He hasn't done a crime spree. Talarico never broke a law.” Contrasting his record, Paxton said, “My crimes are as big as Texas.” He warned that non-crook Talarico would be “dangerous. Texas needs a master crook.”

Under Jim Crow, racists mocked Blacks via blackface & minstrel shows. Under Gov. Sarah Sanders, Rs mock transgender people by putting a bearded man in a women’s sports gear & faking him joining a girl’s college team. We condemn the former slur as vile bigotry. We should all condemn the latter, too.

What's up at the FBI? Aside from deciding that bestiality is OK, of course. There's lots of chaos going public embarrassing fashion. It doesn’t help that the Bureau' led by man-child Kash Patel, who took the job of FBI director for Internet clout and found to his chagrin that it involves work.

Isfandiyar & the Simurgh, from Ferdowsi’s Shahnameh, Qazvin School of Safavid painting, c. 1575–1590. Shows Isfandiyar’s 5th Ordeal; the hero confronts the mythical Simurgh from within a spiked wooden cage. Vivid color, fantastical rock formations, & the expressive div = Safavid themes.
