I made the mistake of clicking through to her Twitter page (or whatever you call it). She’s got that particular twit pinned. I can’t tell if she pinned it before or after he retwitted it.
Your Name’s not Bruce?
If the signature on the painting is correct/genuine, it was created for some other purpose as Winsor McCay, ( known for the comic strip Little Nemo, and one of the first animated short movies, Gertie the Dinosaur) died in 1934. I couldn’t find its original context in a cursory Google image search. The text probably a later addition, as one of the results for ” winsor mccay uncle same praying” shows more of the pew in place of the block of text in this version, and I’m not familiar enough with his editorial cartoons to tell if it is actually one of his. It would be interesting to see the original context for this image. I wonder if its current appropriation is at all antithetical to its original intent.

Did you know that your country is a festering shithole?

chigau, the problem is, for most people it doesn’t feel like a festering shithole, because we still (mostly) have enough to eat, cars, clothes, smart phones, entertainment choices, and so forth. In other words, they aren’t worried about the rest of the world, or even the rest of the country, as long as they have what they need/want. Their view of a festering shithole is something that actually looks like that to them, and for the most part, this country still superficially looks pretty good to a lot of voters, so they can’t understand that there is anything wrong.
Someday, when the shit hits their fan, they might understand. By then, though, it will probably be too late to do anything to change the bad stuff.

Thanks for posting this so close to lunchtime. I really need to lose some weight anyway.
Heehee you’re welcome.
I actually agree with that prayer other than that “be the will” nonsense.
Someone said something nice about him 2 and half years ago, and now he sends it back out into the world.
What a dork.
I totally missed the date of the original tweet.
That’s just….
Sad.
His glory days.
