Every time I see one of these dark money mudslinging false witness advertisements I take heart that I'm sparing some other viewer of streaming media of having to watch this crap. No, senator Ossoff did not vote to raise your taxes.

A timely reminder from artist panhandle slim.
A quote from Jimmy Carter: "A strong Nation like a strong person can afford to be gentle, firm, thoughtful and restrained. It can afford to extend a helping hand to others. It's a weak nation, like a weak person, that must behave with bluster and boasting and rashness and other signs of insecurity."

It's not really an arch. It's an Overton window.

Basically, every dollar over 50 per barrel is going into the pockets of the oil billionaires who are funding the corruption of Congress. That's what Trump means when he says "we'll make a lot of money."
Crude oil prices currently over $92 per barrel.

This is a cell in the notorious s21 interrogation center where the Khmer Rouge warehoused people before hauling them off to the killing fields. Barely big enough for one person. Basically this is what ICE is building in warehouses in the United States.

Last day in lovely Luang Prabang, Laos. It's a UNESCO heritage protected colonial gem and probably the nicest little tourist town I've ever visited. #travel

People are lined up for blocks to get into gold dealers in bangkok's chinatown. Maybe they're trying to get rid of US dollars before their value disappears completely. I don't know.

I suppose that if you're a big enough racist, Asian babies might seem a security threat. (And I will not link to CBS news.)

You'd almost think that Trump's militarized attack on Minnesotans is some sort of political stunt.
