I came here to vent my political frustrations, then decided to play it cool and talk about other things, but holy fuck. What kind of moron doesn’t know better than to cut off the QUEEN OF ENGLAND? I mean, you’d think Putin would’ve programmed his bloated orange horse’s ass with a little bit more intelligence, but apparently he didn’t think it was worth the trouble.
The only advantage I see with all this is once Herr Chump is removed from office – whether on his own recognizance or not – it’s doubtful he’ll have a snowball’s chance of doing business, anywhere. Putin will most likely have him assassinated, the first act of international kindness in history to originate with a Russian dictator; but if not, no American business will touch him, and since he’s now alienated every other nation on the planet, he’ll be kaput.
Thank God, Londoners were out in force to protest against Trumpelstilskin. Thousands of them. (I laughed at one Twittiot’s comments of how there were only a dozen or so protests – without mentioning each of those protests involved several times as many people as were at Trump’s “enormous” inaugural projectile vomiting speech.)
I loved the baby Trump blimp and so many of the awesome protest signs from London. But Scotland outdid the UK. (Note: I’m reasonably sure this isn’t new, but it still fits.)
Such a fantastic command of the language! Such finesse in the art of calling it like it is! They had me at bloviating flesh bag, but went in for the kill with witless fucking cocksplat. The only reason I’m not rhapsodizing over toupéd fucktrumpet and weaselheaded fucknugget is I’ve seen them before, but they’re still beautifully expressive. Mangled apricot hellbeast isn’t anything to sneeze at, either. Makes me grateful some of my ancestors were Scots, even if it was on my dad’s side of the family.
I don’t think Scotland allowed the Donald to touch down this time around, but I couldn’t swear to it. I gather he bought property there and they haven’t yet completed the eviction process. Give ’em time.
I know I posted these shots over on FB but I also know I have one or two readers here who don’t visit FB. I’m getting some practice in with the new camera.

Click on the thumbnails to see larger versions. I’m not going to win any grand awards for my photography, at least not in the next week or two; but I’m still happy overall with the results considering I’m still learning how to use the camera. I played with switching out focus and had some decent success with it. However, the subject matter wasn’t all that spectacular so I didn’t bother posting the contrasting photos from that batch.
I’m tentatively planning to do some shooting tomorrow if I can figure out how to change lenses. I want to use the portrait lens and get some macro shots.
Wonderful pictures! Great composition skill, you have. Gorgeous. Is that with hubby’s D3400?
Thank you – no, this is with my D3200. Hubby has the D3400 though, you’re right 🙂 We bought a used one for me because I wanted to see if I could get off any better shots with a good camera, vs the camera on my phone. And I was tired of being the driver for our expeditions but never really taking any pictures. Hubby offered to let me use his camera, but it felt kind of like he was offering to let me use his wallet, or his underwear. It just didn’t feel right, ya know?
For eons I’ve assumed the reason my shots were bad was all me, despite my understanding composition. Turns out you can do stupendously better with a good camera. Who’d-a thunk it?
We used some of our tax refund to buy the 3200 used, body-only, from a place where we could get it used but with a warranty; and it uses almost all the identical lenses as hubby’s camera, so we share lenses. The only lens of his we can’t share is the original 18-55 that came with the camera.
Have fun with the camera!
I think the timing of additional Russian indictments coinciding with 45’s meeting (and botching protocol, again) Queen Elizabeth was a smidgen of comic relief. Of course there will be no demand for extradition of those indicted as demonstrated by the latest tweet recycling the “why didn’t Obama” narrative…. 45 will meet with Putin in private for his latest instructions and congress will sit back and do nothing
btw, I think the UK did a fine job expressing themselves 😉
Oh I know. This is being orchestrated down to the last detail, and only a complete idiot thinks Trump is anything other than Putin’s lapdog (the female version.) It’s incredible to see the idiocy playing out in the Congressional hearings. People with a brain are aware of the farce, but the people who support this stupid orange fart bag actually dismiss the mounting evidence as “fake news”. Anything but face the truth, huh?
I have to admit the blimp was amusing!!!!! I don’t understand why he or his wife couldn’t do the Queen the extended courtesy of bowing or curtsying~~~but, as always, he was pushing the limits. At least, he didn’t shove his way to the front for the photos.
Loved the photos.
No, he didn’t shove her out of the way. I think he would have (rightly) been shot if he did. It’s almost a pity he didn’t. Then again, once you eliminate Trump you get Pence, who is even more vile. Trump did, however, walk in front of the Queen, and show up late for his invitation to tea, keeping Her Majesty waiting.
Ironically it would NOT have been appropriate for the Schlumps to bow and curtsy, respectively. In terms of the world stage, they are each heads of state of nations, therefore technically equals. However, inside the UK you never, ever amble along in front of the Queen, regardless. This little performance sets a new low even for Trump.
