You know bush1, and bush2, and
reagan, and nixon,
gingrich, and ryan, and
kasich and christie,
fiorina and gilmore,
huckabee and bush,
and gilmore and carson,
and cruz and rubio,
santorum and paul,
But do you recall
The most famous republican of all?
donald, The orange faced oligarch
had a lot of shiny bling
and if you ever saw him
you would say that that's his thing
All of the other republicans
used to laugh and call him names
They never let poor donald
play in the republican games.
Then once long before Christmas eve
breitbart came to say:
"donald with your bling so bright,
won't you guide our movement tonight?"
Then all the republicans loved him
as they shouted out with glee,
donald, The orange faced oligarch,
you'll go down in history!
Las Vegas is home to a lot that might raise a pair of eyebrows, but a
new art installation depicting Donald Trump as a naked, 43-foot-tall
marionette might raise them right off your face.
Made of foam over rebar and weighing approximately 6,000 pounds, the
gigantic naked Trump will travel the United States as part of the
“Crooked and Obscene Tour” but first, you can see it in person and in
the wild at 13460 Apex Harbor Ln in Las Vegas right now.
Per the tour’s organizers, portraying Trump in the nude “is
intentional, serving as a bold statement on transparency, vulnerability,
and the public personas of political figures.”
They also aim to spark conversation about “transparency—or lack
thereof—in politics, challenging viewers to think critically about
political influence,” according to press materials.
Those who can’t make it to Las Vegas will have opportunity to see it
on tour stops at other locations across the United States. Dates and
cities for the tour have not yet been announced. We’ll keep you posted.
Enjoy — or ‘enjoy’ — some photos of the project below:

This isn’t the first time a nude statute of Trump has appeared in
public, though it certainly dwarfs its predecessor. In 2016 Joshua
“Ginger” Monroe was hired at the art collective INDECLINE to create five life-size naked statues of the former president as part of a project called “The Emperor Has No Balls.”
The statues were put up without permits at locations in Seattle, New
York City, Cleveland, Los Angeles and San Francisco; naturally they were
soon removed by police.
this is a song i first tried to write a long time ago and feel that its appropriate to publish now...
the covid depression christmas song 2020 (like nat king cole sang it)
reindeer roasting on an open fire
elves just looking to get paid
santa got hit by recession this year
there werent many toys on christmas day ... everybody knows
boughs of holly and some mistletoe
dont help keep the fireplace bright
we burned a dresser and an ottoman
as children huddled closer this cold night
(they know that santas been laid off
and he and mrs clause have caught a nasty cough
but with his rising healthcare cost
it seems his battle with blue cross is all but lost)
they know that santa struggled too
he did as much as any jolly elf could do
but he got laid off at the mall and he wont be decking anybodys halls ... with
boughs of holly and some mistletoe
dont help to keep the fireplace bright
and every mothers child is gonna try
to see if reindeer tastes better baked or fried
and now kriss kringles gone away
foreclosure signs are in his yard and his driveway
and all the elves have been laid off
their jobs are now in taiwan and bangkok, ... and china
i sing this song without expecting praise
from those just trying to survive if we make it through new years its a miracle
and another year we have to keep alive
A newly released batch of the so-called Epstein files on Tuesday includes many references to Donald Trump,
including a claim by a senior US attorney that the US president was on a
flight in the 1990s with the now-deceased convicted child sex offender
and a 20-year-old woman.
There is no
indication of whether the woman was a victim of any crime, and being
included in the files does not indicate any criminal wrongdoing.
The
latest tranche of files from the justice department follows a similar
release last week of a section of the documents detailing its
investigations into the billionaire sex offender. The files include more
references to Trump, but also more details about Epstein’s relationship
with economist Larry Summers. Bizarrely, the Tuesday release includes a
letter purported to be from Epstein to the convicted sexual abuser and
former Olympics gymnastics coach Larry Nassar – which the DoJ later in
the day announced was a fake.
The
numerous references to Trump include an email that suggests he
travelled onboard Epstein’s private jet with women who would have been
possible witnesses to the case against Epstein’s accomplice, Ghislaine Maxwell.
The
email – sent by the US attorney for the southern district of New York
on 7 January 2020 – has the subject “Epstein flight records”.
It
reads: “For your situational awareness, wanted to let you know that the
flight records we received yesterday reflect that Donald Trump
travelled on Epstein’s private jet many more times than previously has
been reported (or that we were aware), including during the period we
would expect to charge in a Maxwell case.
“In
particular, he is listed as a passenger on at least eight flights
between 1993 and 1996, including at least four flights on which Maxwell
was also present. He is listed as having travelled with, among others
and at various times, Marla Maples, his daughter Tiffany, and his son
Eric.
“On one flight in 1993, he and Epstein
are the only two listed passengers; on another, the only three
passengers are Epstein, Trump, and then-20-year-old REDACTED.
“On
two other flights, two of the passengers, respectively, were women who
would be possible witnesses in a [Ghislaine] Maxwell case.”
Throughout
his most recent presidential campaign, Trump vowed to release
Epstein-related files. This summer, his administration prompted backlash
after the justice department announced it would not release any files
related to the late financier, and said it had found “no incriminating
client list” despite earlier claims from Pam Bondi, the attorney
general, that such a document was sitting on her desk.
The
announcement sparked bipartisan outrage – including from some Trump
supporters – and reignited scrutiny of Epstein’s past ties to Trump,
with whom he was friendly for at least 15 years before falling out in
2004. The president has consistently denied any knowledge of or
involvement in Epstein’s criminal activities and has repeatedly denied
any wrongdoing.
On Tuesday, the justice department said in a statement
that it had released nearly 30,000 more pages of documents related to
Epstein and that “some of these documents contain untrue and
sensationalist claims made against President Trump that were submitted
to the FBI right before the 2020 election”.
“To
be clear: the claims are unfounded and false, and if they had a shred
of credibility, they certainly would have been weaponized against
President Trump already,” the statement reads. “Nevertheless, out of our
commitment to the law and transparency, the DoJ is releasing these
documents with the legally required protections for Epstein’s victims.”
In the new batch of files of files released by the justice department, there are also numerous references to Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, formerly known as Prince Andrew.
The
files also include a photo of an Austrian passport that bears Epstein’s
photograph but the name listed is “Marius Fortelni” and the residency
is listed as Saudi Arabia. There is also an email exchange from a
prosecutor in 2019, which states that the real Fortelni is a real estate
developer who, for a time, resided in Saudi Arabia. The email suggests
contacting Fortelni.
“Ask if he has any reason
to know why a passport from his native country with his name on it
would have Jeffrey Epstein’s photograph on it and be in a safe in
Epstein’s mansion??” the prosecutor writes.
In
a response email, someone with the “NYPD/FBI Child Exploitation Human
Trafficking Task Force” writes: “I will give him a call tomorrow.”
Fortelni did not immediately respond to a request for comment from the Guardian.
Elsewhere
in the tranche is extensive correspondence regarding Epstein’s
controversial 2007 Florida plea deal to resolve a pending sex crimes
prosecution under federal law and the government’s obligation to inform
Epstein’s accusers of the deal before its completion.
One
email, subject titled “RE: Special Master’s Selection of Attorney
Representative” and dated 19 October 2007, appears to refer to rape
claims lodged by a woman against the magician David Copperfield. The
Guardian has previously identified the alleged victim as Lacey Carroll. Copperfield claimed in an interview with Oprah Winfrey in 2012 that he had been “exonerated” by federal authorities.
The
email refers to a raid by FBI Seattle and FBI Las Vegas “on a warehouse
owned by Epstein’s favorite cohort, David Copperfield, in connection
with allegations that Copperfield raped an adult female”.
“Copperfield
spoke with the girls at Epstein’s home on several occasions and tickets
with ‘backstage passes’ were a favorite ‘birthday gift’ for Epstein to
give the girls,” it says. The sender and recipient are redacted.
Later
on Tuesday, the Senate Democratic leader, Chuck Schumer, released a
statement demanding transparency from the justice department: “Buried in
the Epstein files is an email disclosing the Department of Justice was
looking into at least ten potential Jeffrey Epstein co-conspirators. The
Department of Justice needs to shed more light on who was on the list,
how they were involved, and why they chose not to prosecute. Protecting
possible co-conspirators is not the transparency the American people and
Congress are demanding.”
