#state of

The real reason behind Rump's many "states of emergency."

The fear & chaos work for him, in that he can wield the Constitution's own emergency powers!

These further allow him to act like the real warlord he wishes to be...

It's all about his ego & control over us.

Pics: The last remnants of extra photos for Lovecraft's 1915 poem "The State of Poetry".

1. Iron Age settlement in the ancient British Isles.

2. More general 'hamlet' at about the same time as #1.

3. Saturn's crime has long eclipsed all of the good that he did during the Golden Age.

4. A rather lively King Midas, giddy over the his golden touch!

5. Then, reality cruelly sets in & King Midas finally realizes that gold isn't his greatest treasure.

He must have been extraordinarily stupid or stubborn.

I mean Midas had to be cursed twice (remember the donkey ears?) to learn his lesson!!

6. "The Virgin Queen" (Elizabeth 1) was a flirt, knew 5 languages & gave playful nicknames to the handsome men around her.

She also wore heavy, lead based makeup, had a sweet tooth & carried smallpox scars for most of her life.

Elizabeth (1) was bald at the time of her death & wore heavy wigs to disguise the fact.

7. Map of British slangs - Cockney is in pink & to the lower right.
