That is Priceless by Steve Melcher for November 11, 2016

Where are the showgirls?

So that’s how they plan to balance the budget with Trump economics!

This is labelled 2032 ……

during the Ivanka presidency ….

 

if she’s elected in 2028, 12 years after her father…

(Heaven help us.)

 

Its the same spacing as Bush Sr. and Jr.

though I believe it took J.Q. Adams 25 years after Dad.

 

In any case, I doubt Ivanka will want showgirls…..

or slot machines, for that matter.

The slot machines are antiques for decoration.

…with bad hair. Happy birthday.

Where’s the Trump sign?

I am expecting the current Trump to put a strip club in the White House.

works for me

I have already intimated to you the danger of parties in the State, with particular reference to the founding of them on geographical discriminations. Let me now take a more comprehensive view, and warn you in the most solemn manner against the baneful effects of the spirit of party generally.

This spirit, unfortunately, is inseparable from our nature, having its root in the strongest passions of the human mind. It exists under different shapes in all governments, more or less stifled, controlled, or repressed; but, in those of the popular form, it is seen in its greatest rankness, and is truly their worst enemy.

The alternate domination of one faction over another, sharpened by the spirit of revenge, natural to party dissension, which in different ages and countries has perpetrated the most horrid enormities, is itself a frightful despotism. But this leads at length to a more formal and permanent despotism. The disorders and miseries which result gradually incline the minds of men to seek security and repose in the absolute power of an individual; and sooner or later the chief of some prevailing faction, more able or more fortunate than his competitors, turns this disposition to the purposes of his own elevation, on the ruins of public liberty.- George Washington

Jokes on you, the country won’t last another four years.

Hahahahahahaha, etc.

History of Veterans Day

.

World War I – known at the time as “The Great War” – officially ended when the Treaty of Versailles was signed on June 28, 1919, in the Palace of Versailles outside the town of Versailles, France. However, fighting ceased seven months earlier when an armistice, or temporary cessation of hostilities, between the Allied nations and Germany went into effect on the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month. For that reason, November 11, 1918, is generally regarded as the end of “the war to end all wars.”

.

Let us take a moment at 11am today to remember all our Veterans of all wars, who have sacrificed so much for freedom.

“…I foresaw that I would become acquainted with a flabby, pretending, weak-eyed devil of a rapacious and pitiless folly.” Joseph Conrad – “Heart of Darkness.”

Not sure why Mr. Melcher listed this as “Artist Unknown”, given the Joie ’09 dated signature, right there, at the lower right.

 

It is a 2009, oil on canvas, painting by Joy Appenzeller Bauer (copy each URL as one long line)

The original painting may still be available. It is shown and described by her website here:

is the prior strip with no attribution.

 

Again, a larger strip image is shown by clicking the image in Mr. Melcher’s blog entry for yesterday (November 10, 2016), accessible by the Check Out The Blog! box in the right hand column; so, I won’t point to it here.

Certain states like PA could turn this whole thing around by accepting the candidate with the most popular votes on Dec 19th.

I hope Trump is a man of his word and instructs his Electors to vote for Clinton, since she beat him in the general election (had more votes). But we all know what sort of man Trump really is; so, that is highly unlikely.

Dogsniff for president!

I am so happy to be able to say President Elect Trump! By the way, I have voted the Democratic ticket many times, but I will not vote for the lying, lying, lying, corrupt, corrupt, corrupt Hillary Clinton.

so, oompa loompa stated all he wants to do in his contract with america. serious doubts on any will be fulfilled.

it’s going to be a bumpy ride, but it will be fun to watch

Wow! Lively day!

So…the prisoners and guards in the great Stanford Prison Experiment that is America under the ‘two-party’ system have traded places once again. Ho hum.

Reading some of the comments on here makes my blood run cold. We have learned nothing over the last 80 years.

How pathetic. He is the president and all is well. Quit crying.
