There's a lot to break down, from the Golden Globes to Venezuela and its Oil to Minnesota, ICE, Iran, Colombia, Greenland, and the Trump family's unstoppable (so far) greed, sticking its dirty, small fingers in every pie it can get a slice of.

And all the Trump aider and abettors.

Have at it, this is an open thread, all topics welcome.

P.S. "Dead Flowers" is from the Stones album "Sticky Fingers". One of my top three favorite Rolling Stones song ever.

    to me that he is in that permanent bent over position because he has to use a walker.  Every picture lately is with his elbows on a surface and his chest leaned against it.

    his right hand seems (5.00 / 1) (#4)

    always planted on the table. It doesn't move with the rest of him. I saw a video demonstrating this last night from the meeting with the heads of oil companies. Then again, with AI, everything seems fake to me. I also saw a really convincing photo of El Chapo shaving Madero's head in a prison, but El Chapo is in Colorado and Madero is in NY so obviously it was fake. It didn't seem photo-shopped though  -- more like created.
