Psychologist’s addendum: people with deep psychopathy don’t care about history or how they are represented in history.

Here’s the castle:

In the most fundamental sense, sovereignty belongs to the people. It can only be relinquished through consent or stolen through fear. If we refuse to consent and remain unafraid, we win.

We really need to reign these guys in, but they've captured all the sources of news and information.

As a former high school teacher, i fear it's the Internet raising kids, not their parents.

Abcnews graphic: surreal moment as coyote drinks water from skylight window on top of Los Angeles hair salon (Image of exactly that, except the framing is canted and as a result it looks like a coyote imprisoned in a glass square a la the phantom zone from Superman)

I understand why they had to stop him but I don’t agree with imprisoning him in the phantom zone

And here I was, thinking it was just known as “breaking the law.”

You’re telling me there’s a *strategy* here? Golly, I’m such a rube.

My man, the stated policy of your administration is that Canada should become an American state, but Canadians running an accurate ad is a threat to American sovereignty?

From the people that pretend to be Christian, they hit a clergyman directly while protesting.

Chantier de la Maison Blanche : Donald Trump fait disparaître 123 ans d'histoire sous des gravats Achevée jeudi en catimini, la destruction par Donald Trump de l'aile est de la Maison Blanche pour y construire une salle de bal à 300 millions de dollars suscite la colère et la sidération des défenseurs du patrimoine ainsi que des élus démocrates.

Chantier de la Maison Blanche : Donald Trump fait disparaître 123 ans d'histoire sous des gravats

This manuscript was illuminated by a circle of at least five highly organized manuscript painters active in the Flemish cities of Ghent and Bruges. The principal illuminator was Alexander Bening, who painted the majority of the book's miniatures. Manuscripts produced by this circle of artists are renowned for the decoration of their borders, which typically feature a rich variety of realistically-painted flowers, birds, and butterflies. This prayer book, called a book of hours, was intended not for a cleric, but for the private devotions of a lay person-in this case, Isabella the Catholic, Queen of Spain (1451-1504). Isabella's coat of arms embellishes the book's frontispiece. It is unlikely that the book was commissioned by the Queen herself; rather, she probably received it as a diplomatic gift from someone courting her patronage, perhaps Cardinal Francisco Jimenez de Cisneros. A Franciscan friar, Jimenez was dependent upon Isabella for his advancement, first to the post of Queen's confessor in 1492, and then to Archbishop of Toledo in 1495.
