I have to post this because it’s existential in nature, to us all. The irony is the threat appears now when we are least capable of dealing with it. Our government bureaucracies in ruins and incompetence at the head of every institution under our grifter in chief.

“An avant-garde without a public to shock, without an audience willing to riot, is just masturbation. If Duchamp spoke to the exigencies of modernity, then Cattelan is merely talking about economics. It’s not art.”

In 2019 here is John Kennedy, the senator from Louisiana, asking the head of the bureau of prisons the following question.
“Christmas ornaments, drywall and Jeffrey Epstein; name three things that don’t hang themselves.”
Watch the full hearing on C-SPAN. Of course he was murdered.

Such a well articulated statement, and it was published in England over a month ago. I can’t imagine, after his last 30 days of antics, and absurd dissertation at the United Nations, what they’re saying about him in Great Britain now.

A healthy democracy puts corrupt presidents in jail. Costa Rica did it three times (see attached). Brazil just did it with Bolsonaro who got 27 years! Today, former French President Sarkozy got 5 years for criminality related to his 2007 campaign. Step up USA! Reclaim the rule of law and democracy!

The cathedral of St. John the Divine, 112th St. and Amsterdam Avenue NYC. It’s the second largest cathedral in the world next to Saint Peter’s at the Vatican. The Stone Carver put a lot of people and objects and perversions in his carvings. Here’s one I thought amazing…

This man who professes to love his country is absolutely responsible for this lost decade, this waisted energy, treasure, and lives. The obliteration of our good-standing in the world. The final list of what has been destroyed or undermined will be long.

This was clearly murder, and execution. They could have been apprehended. What about due process? Another illegal act by Trump!

NYT: Prime Minister Modi of India and President Putin holding hands, walking into a meeting hall with world leaders. They head straight for President Xi Jinping, shake hands and form a circle. Putin cracks a broad smile, and Modi lets out a big laugh as all join hands.
Trump should be embarrassed.
