Closing in on 250 years of independence and every fear of the founders about the ability of people to self govern have come to pass. As a nation we are at the lowest ever and this assclown has put down the shovel in exchange for a 21st century excavator. There has to be a bottom down there somewhere but I can’t imagine how much more digging it will take to hit bottom. Or how much more we can survive.

Oh. And where the fuck did all that non-orange hair come from? His hair hasn’t been that plentiful or that color since he could see his pecker without placing a mirror on the floor. The goober who painted this monstrosity is on one seriously bad trip of hallucinogens.

@Pricknick @Pricknick @Pricknick sitting at the bar flaming lawyers. “All lawyers are assholes!”

The guy down the bar stands up points at the guy and yells, “Take that back!”

“Why? Are you a lawyer?”

“No I’m an asshole!”

Don't blame hallucinogens.

NO lie!

If anything, I'd entertain the idea of insufficient hallucinogen usage in the history of the creator/trix of this PAINting!

Truly, an awful 'painting'.

Almost as bad as the cloying gloop that was 'The Painter of Light'.

Don't diss Thomas Kincade like that! At least Kincade's work is bright, colorful, and entertaining!

The style of tonight's artistic vomitus reminds me of the work of another "artist". One who got rejected by the Vienna Academy of Fine Arts in 1903 because when demanded to depict faces -- a task he avoided whenever possible -- said depictions came off as soulless, lifeless, and devoid of pathos of any sort. I speak, of course, of Adolf Hitler. (Good evening, Counselor Godwin!)

Nonetheless, still possessed of more artistic values than this essay's subject. Of course, the schematic diagram of a typical analog transistor radio is also still possessed of more artistic values than this essay's subject, so......

The schematic diagram has two recognizable advantages over the painting that is this essay's subject: it enables one to either repair said radio or build another just like it. I can find no similar usefulness in the painting that is this essay's subject.
