They are archetypes of harpies depicted as part woman & part bird.
In Greek myths, harpies served as agents of punishment & torment. Harpies comes from the Greek word meaning "to snatch" or "swift robbers," which reflects their main role: they would swoop down to steal food or carry people away.

The man is a greased pig. Any officials with sufficient power that have pig wrestling skills?

He uses absurd rhetoric to normalize and then de-legitimize their oath to the constitution.

Ruesi, the forest sage, a spiritual descendant of the rishi of India, who are known for writing the Vedas, the first scriptures that formed the foundation of Hinduism, & living lives dedicated to searching for enlightenment say "talk to plants not humans".

Ruesi, or forest sages, depicted as a tiger.

This painting is at the Wihan Tap Kaset Gallery located at Wat Phra Mahathat Woramahawihan in Nakhon Si Thammarat, Thailand.
One particularly striking image found there is of a Ruesi depicted as a tiger, symbolizing strength, mysticism, and the transformative power of spiritual practice. This kind of iconography is rare and deeply rooted in Thai esoteric traditions, where Ruesi are often shown with animal attributes to represent their mastery over nature and spiritual realms.

State Power? He means the states are no longer legitimate so that these twisted souls can force their nationalist will over the country? Not Ok

The province had built over 30,000 bridges since the 1970s. Nice people, stunning landscapes, the freshest food, hydro power, and a decent climate. No wonder that Guiyang was chosen for a data center hub. Natural hydro cooling. Shameful if they screw up the natural beauty through development.

Guizhou has 5 record setting bridges. ~93% of the province is mountainous. I drove across the Beipanjiang Bridge, now the world's 2nd highest bridge, on a trip across China. A smooth ride. The people who do the construction are special.

In my view he is culpable for the felonious murder of Corey Comperatore in Butler, PA.

By the way, I like your photos. I have been practicing photography for almost 30 years. I used to use analog and still have my camera. I need to get it as I left it in storage in China.

There were always quiet Turkish people, usually service workers, and some Russian Mafia types but what you witnessed could be people from anywhere. Many Turkish people stayed near the Banhof but who knows?

I lived there for a few years starting in 2001, and it was an incredibly subdued place. One exception was Friday nights outside the Uerige—that was fun.

The chain of command has to be solid with overwhelming buy-in to achieve the objective. Control & adherence in the military as well as cleaning up the domestic police structure is paramount. I've been through this as an American in a foreign land. It doesn't help that America is so large.

Fuck the Epstein files. He should be fragged (Vietnam War slang) for all the illegal, previous harm he has done and is doing.
By the way, where is my Social Security payment. It never was late until yesterday.

I was driving a rental. The South Africans have an after market solution.

I would have preferred Mike Tyson in the role.

Exactly right. I once dragged two Nigerians and two South Africans down the road until they fell off. They were attempting a carjacking. As soon as they grabbed the door handles, I reflexively hit the gas. This happened in South Africa.
