Code Pink is still around?! That's awesome I know that face, well both faces, I don't know the brave ladies name, but shes been a trooper! I’m afraid if I was that close to Elliot Abrams I'd have to try to strangle him.

what billionaire hasn't visited Orchids of Asia Day Spa paying for women in sexual servitude


Kraft voted to penalize NFL kneeling....because you know kneeling is sooooo nasty


where you on your knees at the spa? no it probably was the other way around I doubt you would kneel for anyone or anything

who's gonna be paying a fine now?

Kraft is worth $6.6 billion dollars....Orchids of Asia Day Spa....what it was just really close to where you live?

"The first thing is you try to attract good people that fit your culture. The trick of that is to make sure there's never division from within," Kraft said.

5 more dead elephants found at Thailand waterfall, bringing toll to 11

Oct. 9, 2019 at 8:58 am Updated Oct. 9, 2019 at 9:01 am

The bodies of five more wild elephants have been discovered below a steep waterfall in Khao Yai National Park in central Thailand, officials said Tuesday, bringing to 11 the number believed to have been swept away over the weekend after a calf slipped and the others tried to save it.

Park officials discovered the additional bodies Monday when they flew a drone over the waterfall, which descends 260 feet and is known as Hell’s Abyss, in a search for two elephants believed to have survived the disaster.

This is the worst such episode for the park’s wild elephants in recent memory. A similar disaster killed eight elephants in 1992.

The director of the national park, Kanchit Srinoppawan, said it appeared that the elephants had been crossing a swollen creek after heavy rains when a 3-year-old slipped and the others tried to rescue it.

“We believe that the elephants were trying to help the baby,” he said. “They are forest animals that live in a group, and when one member is facing problems or needs help, they will come to help.”

He added: “We believe that the death of all these elephants happened at the same time because they wanted to save the little one.”

Despite the rash of mass shooting that have continued to grip the country this year, a graphic and violent video portraying Trump on a shooting rampage against his critics inside a church was played for attendees at a conference for his supporters, which was held at Trump’s National Doral Miami resort last week
The video combines a series of memes and shows the president’s head superimposed on a mass shooter’s body.

So that latest addition, the Trump "caricature", is one of mine. I based it on a relatively famous image of Trump, did a very light, freehand pencil guide, then used technical pens (three sizes, 1.0, 0.5, 0.2), scanned it, brought it into Photoshop and smoothed it out with the Oil Paint feature.

I've taken up drawing again, and this was my first "serious" effort in a long time.

If anyone has anything they'd like to see drawn, let me know and maybe I could give it a shot as part of my practice!

Yours,
Jerky

You should pursue drawing full-time Jerky. You could follow up w/the rest of the Executive branch, the Cabinet, Supreme Court and members of Congress.

We'll miss you but understand you need to follow your gift.

Wow.

Thanks Cordelia. That's so kind of you to say.

I really appreciate your lovely, heartfelt words.
