You gotta give to the GOP.
They trained their voters to hate “libs” so much they would gratefully accept every manner of corruption, lawlessness, cruelty, ineptitude, and criminality, and cheer it on, so long as it is their team doing it.
This👇🏼. AOC is the only one stating it clearly and plainly. Do I have any faith that the American people will ever elect a woman president someday? No. I hope I’m proven wrong.
He is correct.
It is right-wing news saying one outlandish thing after another to get stoopid people to agree and educated to debate.
Causing debate and division.
"Left wing news" spends its time countering with overly polite reporting, not to offend right wingers.
He has almost a thousand on his patreon. That is where all the tutorials come from. A lot also use the same props. Here's that coffee cup..... and then again with the same bucket.
Nice. It's a good exercise. I had been painting, like ever in my life, for I think two days when I did these. Paint Coach is a pretty awesome resource.
Oh my God, priceless.
Everyone please welcome CBS News Immigration Analyst Viktor Orban.
For the Simplify Step, squint your eyes, look for big shapes, and be sure your positioning is correct. Do not worry about details at this phase. Just large shapes of color.
The Shape Step is going through each shape and establishing smaller shapes to define form through value relationships. Here you add those darkest dark values. You paint the top planes of the tomato in a lighter value color, building to the highlight. You look for a darkest dark, a mid value, and a lightest light for each main part of the onion. You keep your brushstrokes in the direction of the onion skin. You establish shadow values to add depth to the avocado.
Sharpen can go on forever. You decide how far you want to refine each element. Here I added the shadow and highlight values on the seed as well, and blended those edges. I also added very think paint left raised on the canvas to represent the soft flesh of the avocado ripped from splitting it open and stuck to the seed.
A final oilout layer 3 parts Galkyd Lite 1 part Gamsol Odorless Mineral Spirits applied thinly with a 1 inch flat brush. This brings all of the values back with a unifying glossy sheen that also adds a protective layer between the oil paint and the varnish protective coat.
Did some #oilpainting today. First, the three images show the #paintcoach method which is to paint in three main stages. Simplify. Shape. Sharpen. The final image is my final #oilout step on this completed painting.

Victor Orbán’s removal sends a timely signal.
Corrupt kleptocratic Christian nationalism was on the ballot in Hungary today — just as it will be on the ballots that Americans will cast in November.
It was repudiated abroad — may it be repudiated here in November (and beyond).
When he launched this war, the President vowed regime change and “unconditional surrender.”
What has he gotten? We went from Ayatollah Khamenei to Ayatollah Khameini Jr. - and are now negotiating over a 10-point plan written by the Iranians.
But how can you leave Netanyahu off this list?
The question the entire world is asking. 😳👇
The more I think about the 70,000 ICE incarcerated without due process the more I think we are underreacting. People are literally trapped inside for profit prisons. We need to do something.
Fucking repulsive
Ex Deputy National Security Advisor for Strategic Communications and Speechwriting under Obama👇🏽
He still needs to be removed from office. A war powers resolution will not suffice. He circumvented Congress to start the war. He circumvented them on tariffs and appropriations. Why anyone thinks he'd adhere to a Congressional war powers resolution is beyond me.
Dear #merica, #ShadyVance is also working for putin.
Just because a President announces he’s agreed to a two week ceasefire moments before he threatened to commit war crimes, does not mean he is suddenly fit to serve. #25thAmendment
The President of the United States is threatening to commit war crimes and wipe out a "whole civilization" — all because he started a disastrous war of his own making and had no plan and no strategy for how to end it.
This is abhorrent, and the American people do not support this.
The City of Pittsburgh just passed legislation banning cooperation with ICE.
The vote was unanimous.
🎉🎉🎉
It probably doesn’t matter but I called my Democratic members of Congress.
And it probably doesn’t matter but they should push for impeachment.
Because morally, it still matters that we try.
Speaker Johnson, we are calling on you to bring the House back to DC IMMEDIATELY!
The Cabinet needs to invoke the 25th Amendment. But Congress can’t just sit on its hands and wait for that to happen when the President is threatening to commit war crimes TONIGHT.
I completely agree with Marjorie Taylor Greene is a sentence I never thought I would ever write.
The President is openly threatening genocide. A crime against humanity. He must be removed from office.
The 25th Amendment must be invoked. If not, Congress has to do our damn job. Speaker Johnson, call us into session. War powers & impeachment. Remove this man from office.
DEVELOPING: Democratic Senator Chris Murphy just called for exploring Trump's removal from office under the Constitution.
Not impeachment.
Removal.
The 25th Amendment.
After the "crazy bastards" and "Praise be to Allah" post.
A sitting senator said it out loud.
