That's amazing.

You can see the cognitive dissonance literally racing about his face.

Until 1 November 2016, anyway. Know Your Meme says Layfield posted this compilation in October 2017 of her most special moments with Hacker, but it only went big when Jacqui Abbott tweeted the now famous shorter, unexplained bit in April 2022

Here’s a clip of a woman reading Trump’s words verbatim from a recent rally in Mississippi that puts a giant magnifying glass over how gone he is cognitively and unfit he is for office.

Trees, oil on canvas, by Soichiro Tomioka (1922-94). Japan
In Trees, Japanese painter Soichiro Tomioka creates a captivating, near-monochromatic winter scene where a dense forest of bare branches forms an intricate, lacelike web across the entire canvas. Executed in his signature high-contrast palette of crisp black against a smooth, non-yellowing white background, the painting balances precise vertical trunks along the lower half with sweeping, fine-lined branch structures that fill the upper sky. A subtle vertical passage of open white canvas cuts through the center of the dense forest network, drawing the eye upward into a glowing sky. Born in Takada (now Jōetsu), Niigata Prefecture—a region famous for its deep winter snows—Soichiro Tomioka (1922–1994) developed a unique place in modern Japanese oil painting (Yōga). After working as a graphic designer for Mitsubishi, he devoted himself entirely to painting, receiving the prestigious Mainichi Art Award in 1974. Tomioka is globally renowned for inventing his own custom white oil pigment, known as "Tomioka White," which was specifically engineered to resist yellowing over time and capture the brilliant, unblemished purity of Niigata's snowscapes. Utilizing a palette knife with extraordinary control and speed, Tomioka achieved a razor-sharp precision in his black calligraphic lines without compromising the flat, luminous quality of the white ground. His technique showcases master-level monozukuri (artistic mastery of craft and material invention), bridging Western oil mediums with traditional East Asian ink-wash (suibokuga) sensibilities.

'Who can still believe Donald Trump? Certainly not Ukraine, probably not Russia, and especially not Europe'
COLUMN. The latest about-face by the US president toward Moscow shows Europe that it must once again take the lead in seeking to end the war in Ukraine, writes Le Monde columnist Sylvie Kauffmann.

FTR shattering letter about how the Conservative Government ignored the entirely credible threat from Putin in favour of feeding The City (& Tory Party) roubles👇

March 23 2022
Carl Scott, Air Commodore (Retired), UK defence attaché in Moscow for five years, 2011-2016

www.ft.com/content/857d...
[4x screenshots from FINANCIAL TIMES] Letter: A defence attaché despairs at inevitability of conflict From Carl Scott, Air Commodore (Retired), Oakham, Rutland, UK [Photo of Sherlock Holmes and Watson monument at the British Embassy in Moscow] MARCH 23 2022 The recent article by Maria Stepanova "The war of Putin's imagination" (Life & Arts, FT Weekend, March 19) was exemplary. However, one jarring note was the unfounded notion that no one expected this aggression from the Kremlin. I served as the UK's defence attaché in Moscow for five years, 2011-2016, during which time this long, dark march to war was obvious, the path to conflict lit by the many pronouncements emanating from the dark red walls of Vladimir Putin's palace. We reported the inevitability of conflict in detail, regularly and with the despair of Cassandra. One of the earliest reports opened with a line from Sherlock Holmes, whose statue stands outside the British Embassy wall: "There's an east wind coming all the same, such a wind as never blew on England yet. It will be cold and bitter, Watson, and a good many of us may wither before its blast." The evidence of Putin's chosen path was never concealed. His many declarations were meant to be heard and understood: the colossal rearmament programme, the demand for more complex, more lethal weaponry; the militarisation of society; the distortion and seizure of the popular narrative; domination of education, the media and the courts to exclude contrasting views and, ultimately, the alienation and destruction of those among the Russian people who understood the folly of his declared ambition. The list is remorseless, the consequences could not be ignored. But they were. It was not until I returned to the UK on the eve of our withdrawal from the EU, a manoeuvre which greatly emboldened those in Moscow, that I understood how our society had changed in the years I was serving overseas. All was subjugated to the City, all served the interests of our lucrative status as a safe haven for corrupt, and corrupting, wealth. The values we were demanding of other nations had long since faded from our own actions. I despair at the decisions Putin has taken, but even more at the prospect of finding credible leadership at home in the UK among those who have compromised so long with his regime and the wealth it offered.

Well said. How many of Tommy Robinson’s Sport’s Direct paramilitary division go and help or worship at the churches they claim they want to protect. It’s much easier to don a balaclava and shout at the RNLI. #HopeNotHate
