aaahhh..

Thank you

This isn't exactly for this thread but it doesn't seem to fit anywhere else and I kinda feel like I've lost my mind. The 'official' Obama portraits were unveiled but those aren't the portraits I remember seeing. I specifically remember Michelle's multi-color/black&white block dress. Anyone know ...

I cannot draw. I can't even doodle. Awed by your talent.

:bow: :bow: :bow: That's really amazing! :love: :love: Nice el. Is there a reason you've chosen to do mash-ups from other cultural myths? Well I had started doing scenes out of medieval manuscripts, but I always had loved Egypt and I was scrolling through some tomb paintings and saw that scene and ...

Thank you! They were so fun to do!

They really manage to get that wrong an awful lot.

“They have to think about the impact on the country of the precedent set by trying a former president,” Mr. Barr said. Yes, let us think about the impact of the country seeing first hand that presidents are not dictators and kings, they must abide by the laws and the laws still apply to them! Why d...

Rather than start a new thread I'll just add to this one:

Aztec inspired (Jaguar warrior) Beleg and (Dragonhelm) Túrin. Am currently waffling over whether I will paint this one or not.

What really worries me are the stories of Trump destroying documents. I don't recall the source of this, but I remember someone saying he'd frequently clog up the toilets at Mar-a-Lago by trying to flush papers down them. Yes, I think it is pretty well documented (that Trump tore-up or otherwise de...

Yes el, I agree. Someone saw them/knows they are there. Former top advisors such as John Bolton are saying to the press they wouldn't be surprised if there are more documents at other residences so it wouldn't surprise me if someone has been talking. There is housekeeping, maintenance, and wait sta...

The biggest question mark right is what information the investigators have that led them to take the step of obtaining a warrant to search Mar-a-lago after they were assured by Trump's attorney's that they had turned over all of the classified material (which was blatantly false). Someone has turne...

I was fairly sure that Judge Cannon would release her order today (she did, after all, release her last order on a Saturday). It is possible that it is a good sign that she has not yet issued her order. At least it implies that she did not have it all ready to go before the hearing and she is consi...

Thank you!

This reminds me of all those "protest" memes like "Why can't you protest peacefully?" and then it show protesters taking knees silently and the same people are all "No, not like that!" People want to dictate others cater to their personal sensibilities and it just doesn...

Was it this one?

That's the one!!!

Ooh I had one of those stamp kits in high school! I

One thing I haven't seen anyone mention - and maybe they find it immaterial - but regardless of the status of the documents as classified or whatnot, the government (the actual active government) still needs the information in those documents! Like, okay maybe they have copies? (doubtful if the arch...
