Anti-Trump artists transform Trump hotel room into epic installation with live rats

?1522522564




“A notorious group of anti-Trump artists have pulled off a heist-style installation — involving live rats and a President Trump impersonator in golden handcuffs — in a Trump hotel in New York. (snip)

A member of the organization told Page Six that they “Trojan-horsed [their] way in” at the glitzy 59th Street hotel and that the “bellhops were happy to help” bring the baggage stuffed with art-contraband up to the room. (snip)

Another part of the installation — set up in the entryway — featured 13 works based on the American flag, but showing “revolutionary” figures including the journalist Hunter S. Thompson, activist Angela Davis, philosopher Noam Chomsky, Muhammad Ali, Edward Snowden and the historian Howard Zinn.”

Russia State TV: WH source quietly tells Russians that "Number of Russian Diplomats NOT Being Cut"

#Russia's state TV reports that an unnamed high-level White House source quietly told the Russians that the number of Russian diplomats in the U.S. is not being cut (they can send 60 other diplomats to replace the ones being expelled). They quote the source: "The doors are open."

Sarcasm dripping snark: "I am sick of these children and their demands for safe spaces."

Alexandra Petri at The Washington Post does her best to translate the despicable Laura Ingraham’s rhetoric, and the conservative message in general, into a language we on the left can appreciate...pure unadulterated sarcasm dripping snark…..





“I AM SICK OF THESE KIDS DEMANDING SAFE SPACES! (snip)

Nobody wore safety belts. The water was full of mercury. The fish were full of sewage. Nobody recycled ANYTHING. When someone fell ill, you just hoped and prayed. (More things should be resolved that way: not with regulations or attempts at solutions but by wishing and hoping and thinking and praying. That was good enough for us, and any change in the world since then has been a change for the worse.)

We used to crawl to school uphill both ways in blinding snowstorms. We used to drink water from lead pipes. Some children still do this, but not nearly enough of them. There was smog in the air as thick as a man’s fist. You could smoke on airplanes. In fact, you were encouraged to do so. It was this pointless suffering that made me who I am.

Dare I deny these benefits to the children of today? (snip)

If we let these kids have their way, soon there will not be danger anywhere. They will be able to go to school in the morning and feel confident that they will be able to come home in the evening. This is a radical thing to ask. I remember no such certainty. It is, therefore, undesirable. These children are weak. I do not want my children to live in a better world than the world that I grew up in, or the one we live in now. That would be to admit that things have progressed, and I do not admit that.”
