That will be fun to see. Still, I'm impressed you can get not only the details but so much of the feeling of the place so quickly in this drawing

This has nothing to do with fraud.

The agents Trump allegedly sent to investigate fraud are shooting protesters and arresting children. His DOJ is gutting the U.S. Attorney’s Office and crippling their ability to prosecute fraud. And every week Trump pardons another fraudster.

Kristi Noem has done a stunning amount of damage and it’s good she’s gone.

But this doesn’t change the fact that we need a complete overhaul of DHS, impartial investigations into the killings of two American citizens, and information on children that were taken from Minnesota.

This is a nice win. And, honestly, a big win, from what I can tell.

Thank you, Tetiana. I was actually thinking of some of your watercolors when I tried to get this effect

Thanks, Les. I had not seen it. I took a peek, looks very interesting. I'll enjoy sitting down and watching😊

Ugh. I can imagine how disappointing that is.

But his $$$-paved rise to national level has, in a way, put him living in everybody's own city. Ugh.

The tree trunks (aspens?) with snow are especially good. I like the colors you used in lower left as well

Thanks Glen. Ted noticed the sunlight hitting a little batch of daffodils. I barely retrieved the cell phone in time to catch it
