Pic Of The Moment: Strong, Steady Leadership

U.S. plan to 'run' Venezuela clouded in confusion

The big obstacles to Trump's plan for a Venezuelan oil windfall

Trump accused of falling asleep during yet another important event - this time on Venezuela

Trump, 79, Teeters on Brink of Sleep as General Speaks

Am I back? Maybe... I stopped making pics last year because, like many of you, I spent much of 2025 struggling with the ramifications of Trump's re-election. But perhaps the new year has spurred me to get back in the saddle.

Whenever forced by circumstances to think about anything other than itself, the demented and deranged thing falls fast asleep.

PS: Keep giving 'em the truth, EarlG! For traitors, warmongers and criminals alike, it hurts like hell.

Trump tends to get very bored when he isn't the center of attention. It must be pure torture for him to listen to other people speak.

Or at least the shadow of an intention to make one.

It comes to him in the twilight zone as he is nodding off, but the memory of that shadow of an intention of a plan has faded away when he wakes up.

Lord of War, Trump, and his tame Dog of War, Kegsbreath, are doing a splendid job! /sarcasm

Good picture, much appreciated!
