Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

The cruelty is the point; the law be damned.

Let’s finish the job.

Wow, you are pre-disappointed. How surprising.

The republican caucus is already covering themselves with something, and it’s not glory.

I didn’t have alien invasion on my 2023 BINGO card.

Why is it so hard for them to condemn hate?

It’s always darkest before the other shoe drops.

Optimism opens the door to great things.

“Jesus paying for the sins of everyone is an insult to those who paid for their own sins.”

Too often we confuse noise with substance. too often we confuse setbacks with defeat.

Putin must be throwing ketchup at the walls.

If senate republicans had any shame, they’d die of it.

Reality always lies in wait for … Democrats.

rich, arrogant assholes who equate luck with genius

“woke” is the new caravan.

Battle won, war still ongoing.

That’s my take and I am available for criticism at this time.

Jesus, Mary, & Joseph how is that election even close?

Despite his magical powers, I don’t think Trump is thinking this through, to be honest.

Shallow, uninformed, and lacking identity

Peak wingnut was a lie.

Nancy smash is sick of your bullshit.

If you are still in the GOP, you are an extremist.

When I decide to be condescending, you won’t have to dream up a fantasy about it.

    Back in a previous lifetime when I used to shoot B&W, these are the kinds of pictures I was always trying to get. I never did. I’m glad you did and showed them to us, thanks.

    Well. In light of yesterday and the past four years, the first one looks like a kind of celebration: a nation battered and aging (?), but still here.

    They’re all mesmerizing, but of the b/w set I’m most drawn to the barbed wire and Ferris wheel. It begs to have stories woven around it

    The last one is simply beautiful.

    @JanieM: That picture of the Ferris wheel and barbed wire was taken in 1969.  The Viet Nam war was very much on my mind, as I was draft bait except for my student deferment.  The circumstances of the subject were entirely innocent, but, as I have in this series, I wanted to create a sinister ambiguity.  This is the only photo I ever submitted for publication, other than football shots in the high school paper.  It appeared on the back page of the L.A. Free Press.
