Hi friends- somehow all of my images got deleted so l am starting over. Everything is awful sometimes, but I am still painting. ☺️ Here’s one of my latest. “Spirit of the Marsh,” oil, 36x36”

Well my two democratic senators voted to confirm him I believe, thinking he was going to be a normal one.

Wasn’t he supposed to be one of the “adults” in the cabinet? 😞

Seems like they much prefer to keep the government closed while they dismantle it, and blame the democrats.

No surprise there. I would never trust a woman who just last year flashed Hunter Biden’s member in a House hearing. And then suddenly she is sane? Lol.

She didn’t draw the line at him being besties with Epstein? Or him taking the bribe-plane from the Qataris?

I am struggling to understand the political situation there but the simplest explanation I can figure is that the far left can be as dictatorial and illiberal there as the far right is here and elsewhere . Why she aligns with Trump given how he treats his (and her) ppl is still a mystery though.

I found this. Helped explain things but honestly how is blowing up fishing boats of your people “visionary”? www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

Nobel Peace Prize winner hailed Trump as ‘visionary’ just days before her victory

Maria Corina Machado was given the award for promoting democracy in Venezuela and says that the US president is the country’s best chance for regime change

She’s a right winger, apparently. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

Can you please explain why she is praising Trump, who is blowing up Venezuelan fishing boats and is in no way a champion of democracy? I am totally confused.

The healthcare part is incredibly important but it is only part of what the demands should be. Honestly Trump/ GOP have violated their trade agreements, their alliances, their humanitarian aid promises. They lie incessantly. I can’t think of any guarantee they could offer that would be trustworthy.

Jennifer Young🎨👩‍🎨✅ @jenniferyoungart.bsky.social · 19h

This would require actual work.

I know Mike Johnson says there is nothing for the House to do but there is.

You see by law a budget was supposed to be in place by Sept 30th, but Rs haven’t passed one. The reason? There isn’t a GOP budget. They haven’t even started working on one. This is what the House should be doing FFS!

I guess those republican congressmen need extra time to hide from the constituents in their districts

Jennifer Young🎨👩‍🎨✅ @jenniferyoungart.bsky.social · 1d

After all that it’s kind of stunning that they thought so little of democracy. Wow
