Emperor #TrumpVirus and his terrific #cognitive clothing.

"So smart.... a stable genius... perfect really... all the best words ... everybody knows ... I aced a 'cognitive test' " - #DJT #IQ
Cartoon by Clement (2 frames) Donald Trump in a black suit is with a physician in white lab coat, clip board in hand. #1 Trump has his arms and tiny fists raised in the air, in victory dance. Trump: "Person. Woman. Man. Camera. TV. WOOHOOO! Amirite?" Doctor: "No one's ever done that before." #2 Trump: "Remembered ALL 5 words IN ORDER?" Doc: "Bragged about it."

Central Park in Winter White

Some favorite images from 10 winters ago…

Album @ www.fenichel.com/blizzard16.s...

#Fenfotos #photography #NewYork #NYC #Christmas #holiday #season #Winter #Snow #NYC
Photo by Fenichel: An image from Central Park in the aftermath of a winter blizzard (2016) The view is from the eastern end of Bow Bridge, with colorful twigs of leafless bushes in the foreground, then snow and the arhed bridge, with snow-covered flower bowls on its ornately carved walls, snow covering the pathway across. Across the bridge is the Central Park West, with The Dakota and San Remo in the center, top, and iced over Central Park Lake on either side of the bridge.

A souvenir from the land of X...

A great Thanksgiving weekend for the Toddler King!

An #ExecutiveDisorder cancels #Biden #history.
Telegraphed a war on Venezuela, banned immigration to USA (!)

Not a word about #Epstein

"So smart!" #psychopathology

Division of (remaining) White House - #pardons & #crime

Sir #TrumpVirus has pardoned his 1604th and 1605th #turkey (+/-). Though one may have been executed - for speaking out.

If you are still able to see #Truth & read: Happy Thanksgiving!

I arrived here by total accident, chasing the sunset using eyes and compass. This was the furthest point West I could get.

Maybe I'd found Love Street?

It's quiet season now, no nesting/breeding activity.
In some places (like SW Florida) the migratory (avian) snowbirds are not yet here en masse. But the summer babies are now juveniles - like this Wood Stork & roseate spoonbill.

To its right, facing right (and in silhouette so its broad bill is not apparent), a roseate spoonbill.

A new #SouthPark
They've been less frequent with less buzz, but the new one is tasty.

Thin-slice:
South Park kids are disenchanted (“South Park Sucks”) & get into a Crypto grift, seeking help from DJTJ.

Meanwhile, the Devil learns someone is trying to harm his unborn love baby w/Sir #TrumpVirus.
Screenshot of South Park: Seated around a long table in the WH, left to right: Pam Bondi, JD Vance, Donald Trump at the head of the table, a jumbo/wide-eyed DJT Junior, and a South Park Elementary School student. Screen shot from South Park: The scene is in front of the demolished White House East Wing, with a dump truck, construction dumpster, and construction workers, DC skyscape in background. In center is a smiling Donald Trump in bright yellow hard hat. At his right side, The Devil.

NB: While Sir #TrumpVirus whines & spins (when not sleeping), HE invokes the narrative that the #Epstein thing is just a Dem "smear" campaign.

Reality: The #ToddlerKing is the one who traffics in lies, spin, #retribution & smear.... HE actually spoke of releasing the Files.

#Truth is the goal!
Meme/post (Don Winslow) A list of blatant, repeated lies by Donald Trump, including 1. EPSTEIN FILES WILL BE RELEASED 2.UKRAINE/RUSSIA WAR ENDED ON DAY 1 3. 90 DEALS IN 90 DAYS <... 6. WE WILL ONLY EXPEL THE "BAD PEOPLE" 7. PRICES WILL BE DOWN 8. FACTORIES WILL COME BACK TO US

#cartoon #truth from Jack #Ohman
Cartoon by Jack Ohman Donald Trump, bloated and with a long red tie draped across the desk he's seated at, is fast asleep ("ZZZZNORKZzz"). To the left (his right) there is on the wall a portrait of Biden, saying "I'M AWAKE". Below the portrait, an evil looking crony/aide points a crooked finger and says, "...THE PRESIDENT IS MERELY DEMONSTRATING HE'S NOT *WOKE*."

Cartoon by Adam Zyglis: "Arc de Trump!" A classic style architectural arc(h) with its base including toenails, so that the arc appears to be two feet - stomping/squishing several victims underneath: On the ground, under or nearby the "feet": A sword, scales of justice, "SNAP", "the POOR", "IMMIGRANTS", "MEDIA" [squished reporter under the right foot, pencil & pad on the ground], top part (head and crown) of Lady Liberty, torch of liberty, and a donkey. The top of the arch has a stone/marble eagle on either end, and in the middle is a smirking head of Trump wearing a crown, in gold. The big gaudy golden lettering [top/center below King Trump's golden image] says: "Arc de Trump!"

Meme, with image of a Senator in the French Senate (upper house of Parliament) Title: A FRENCH SENATOR JUST SAID IT ALL OUT LOUD! Text: “Washington under Trump has become Nero's court, an incendiary emperor, submissive courtiers, and a jester on ketamine in charge of purging civil service. We were at war with a dictator, Putin, and now we're at war with a dictator supported by a traitor. Itis a tragedy for the free world but first and foremost it is a tragedy for the United States!” - CLAUDE MALHURE

Familiar names? On today's wholesale pardon list - adding to the 1000+ of "the worst of the worst" criminals convicted for #Jan6 #TrumpVirus insurrection etc. #Giuliani & other BFF's

#GQP #crime #felons #criminals #dictator #sedition #treason vs. #justice #accountability #truth #reality

#Epstein
A RICO model: Pyramid of Guilt With the apex of culpability at the top (Trump), labelled level 6, the base of the pyramid (and cult) consists of "foot soldiers", who account for most arrests thus far. Level 2, is Oath Keepers, Proud Boys, etc, the more active soldiers of sedition; Level 3 is the "planners, funders and organizers" like Ginni Thomas, Alex Jones, Mike Lindell... Level 4, the big middle of the guilt piyramid (in green) is mostly CONGRESS: Scott Perry, Gym Jordan, Gaetz, Ghohmert, Loudermilk, Kevin McCarthy, Mo Brooks, Gosar, Biggs, MTG, Boebert, Ronny Jackson, Elise Stafanik, Ron Johnson, Josh Hawley,, Ted Cruz, Mike Lee, Tommy Tuberville, Chuck Grassley, Andy Harris... +2 Level 5, close to the top of the criminal enterprise, directly under Trump: Steve Bannon, Mike Flynn, Roger Stone, Rudy Guiliani, DJTJ, Jared Kushner, Mark Meadows, Fox friends, John Eastman, Jeffrey Clark, Dan Scavino, Peter Navarro, Sidney Powell, Ivanka Trump, Rupert Murdoch, Federalist Society, Clarence Thomas, Louis DeJoy, Kash Patel, Ginni Thomas, Republican AGs, Koch Brothers, Stephen Miller ++ And at the top, where "the bucks stop".

A brilliant thin-slice here, from HuffPost, particularly the characterization of our dictator's indifference to the pain & suffering he inflicts - while Sir fixates on re-writing history & rewarding fellow #Jan6 criminals.

#GQP #fascism #TrumpVirus #psychopathy vs #democracy #truth #WeThePeople
Two paragraphs from 'breaking news' feed of Huffington Post, 10 Oct 2025 << The deal, which did not include Democrats’ key demand of extending boosted health care subsidies for those who receive health insurance through the Affordable Care Act, has frustrated many lawmakers across the party’s ideological spectrum who framed it as abetrayal of the American people. Meanwhile, President Donald Trump, who does not appear to care about the pain ordinary Americans have suffered during the shutdown, seems still fixated on his effort to rewrite history about the 2020 election, granting pardons to some of the key players in his plot to overturn Joe Biden’s win, including his former personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani, according to his pardon attorney Ed Martin. >>

60 Votes, #GQP Senate Acts

1st take:
"Some Dems not happy" (well duh)

Good news: Government can (try to) quickly pay TSA / SNAP +
Bad news: "Healthcare for Nobody" (except Congres$ & rich)

Senators, both 'woke' & #TrumpVirus stricken, have family

Hope: House gets right to #healthcare & #Epstein
