King Con? That's FABULOUS!!!

Okay, xxqqqqzme, this goes on my list of new nicknames for trump. High up on the list. This is one of the best I've seen!

And more.

Vlad probably knows where all the money is. And how much of it is from his mafia pals and how much of it is in trump's pocket. I bet they could engineer a leak of trump's tax returns if they really wanted to.

Yep! Gotta have the fish lips, otherwise the caricature is incomplete!

Teeny hands, that weird caterpillar hair, and the fish lips. And you've got him. Throw in the tie that's so long he can use it as a cod piece (probably a substitute dick for the teeny real one he hides behind his zipper) and you've REALLY got him!

I started reading this and soon enough, I was in tears.

The magnificence of President Obama. The eloquence of President Obama. The heart, compassion, and conscience of President Obama. HIS White House was no dump. Maybe it is now, considering the occupant.

But take the trump out of the White House and it becomes once again, the place of historical wonder and power and reverence that it's always been (even if he was too stupid and pig-headed to realize it).

Let's take the trump OUT of the White House. The sooner the better (even if it means Mike Pence. He'll just be a temporary zit to be popped at the next opportunity. We can dispense with him in 2020).

Good Grief!!!

That's exactly right, hamsterjill. The right to choose is NON-NEGOTIABLE.

To me, it's not even on the table. It's not even in the room where that table is.

The right to choose is AN ABSOLUTE. It is NON-NEGOTIABLE.

I had a misadventure like that - yup, back in the mid-70s. When we'd just married.

I didn't change my name. I was already working and was established by MY name. I figured if I ever made anything of myself, that would allow a small layer of protection between myself and whatever family I might eventually have. Protecting their privacy, so to speak. As for my husband, he asked me fairly early on how I felt about changing my name when I married, saying he didn't see any reason why I should because HE wouldn't want to have to change HIS name for that reason, either, and didn't see why he should have to do that. I found that thinking most impressive (one of many reasons why I decided to go ahead with it, with him).

So after our honeymoon we set about trying to find an apartment together. We found a nice one that was even affordable. But when it came time to sign the papers, the manager on duty refused to rent to us - because we had two different last names. We showed our wedding rings and both insisted YES we ARE a married couple. The manager wouldn't believe us. We had to fight a battle - just to rent a freakin' apartment. In 1976.

We've come SOME way since then, as a country, as a society. SOME way. But MAN-oh-MAN do we have a long way yet to go.

Those paper-folding crafts just blow my mind.

My husband learned to make a "bowtie" by paper-folding. Layers of those repetitive folds, turned 90 degrees and repeated, flipped over and repeated, and voila! You have a bowtie! I've watched him do it, and he's walked me through it, and I STILL don't think I could make one on my own. But they're trippy little things. I have a couple taped to my wall, just 'cause they're fun to look at.

Thanks so much for posting this! I copied it into my Cool Videos file. I may actually try to work up the nerve to try my hand at making this.

I love this post!!!



Yeah, that moon would take some doing. And redoing. And more redoing. So trippy! When one completes it successfully, one may want a cigarette...

Welcome to DU, salmannaseem07!

Fascinating to watch! This is REALLY cool.

I love this stuff. I could watch this stuff again and again. Which I'd have to, anyway, if I wanted to try to make this myself.

Just trippy as all-get-out!

Rock-hound from pre-school age. Proud Democrat for life. Ardent environmentalist and pro-choicer. Hoping to use my skills set for the greater good. Still married to the same guy for 40+ years.
