I've started dipping my toe in selling photography prints. Mostly taken from wet buses. Only four just now. Have a look. marswasrubbish.etsy.com/uk/listing/4...

My photo "Tacos" shows some neon signs for Taco Bell through a wet window on the top deck of a Glasgow bus.

really don't think you need to be an expert to know it's mathematically impossible, but, considering the lack of blowback and national ridicule of the idiot felon, beyond the grasp of a large part of the US electorate.

President Donald Trump recently made his boldest claim yet in his
longstanding promise to lower drug prices.
"You know, we've cut drug prices by 1,200, 1,300 and 1,400, 1,500%," he told reporters on Sunday, noting the reductions will start over the next two to three months. "I don't mean 50%. I mean 14- 1,500%."
Trump has unveiled a number of moves aimed at cutting drug prices in recent months, but he has yet to move the needle on reducing costs - much less slashing them by 1,500%, which is mathematically impossible, experts say.

Things I discovered in LA: I have the exact same hand size as Marilyn Monroe. Considering I have ridiculously tiny hands, I'm always glad when I find someone else equally petite. Photo by @strangeanima1.bsky.social - face blurring by me.

Trump: "Portland, I mean -- every time I look at that place it's burning down. There are fires all over the place. When a store -- there are very few of them left -- but when a store owner rebuilds a store they build it out of plywood. They don't put up storefronts anymore. They just put wood up."

Sen. Roger Marshall: "October 18 is when the protest gets here. This will be a Soros paid-for protest for his professional protesters. The agitators show up. We'll have to get the National Guard out. Hopefully it will be peaceful. I doubt it."
