Yousuf Karsh’s portrait of British Prime Minister Winston Churchill is one of the most recognised photographs ever taken. Malcolm Rogers, director of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, believes that the photograph may have influenced the course of the Second World War. Aside from the political impact of the photograph, it also catalysed Karsh’s career. ‘My portrait of Winston Churchill changed my life,’ he said. ‘I knew after I had taken it that it was an important picture, but I could hardly have dreamed that it would become one of the most widely reproduced images in the history of photography.’
. . . .
Karsh watched Churchill puffing on his cigar from behind his camera, waiting patiently, before stepping toward him, and saying, ‘forgive me, sir’, took the cigar out his mouth. ‘By the time I got back to my camera,’ Karsh said, ‘he looked so belligerent he could have devoured me.’ Karsh took his photograph, capturing Churchill’s penetrating stare. Impressed by the young photographer’s audacity, Churchill let Karsh take another photograph, for which he smiled this time, saying ‘you can even make a roaring lion stand still to photograph him’. The photograph is filed in Karsh archives under ‘The Roaring Lion’.
L – An apt comparison, as Pres. Trump, re-elected would be Western
Civilization’s greatest defender of the nation-state concept being
the the best venue for exercising self-government.
“Government of the people, by the people and for the people”
Government by the oligarchy but our very own OUR oligarchy.
Heh. I be all like “Who the hell is Ricky Bobby?” Then it dawned on me…”Oh yeah…that Ricky Bobby”.
Part of me wishes he put on a yuge beaming smile.
I was conflicted on that one. Too bad we can’t have both versions.
Trump – putting the phrase “Don’t Tread on Me” to life. Epic!
Legend.
I don’t think everyone totally understands. They are not going to allow him to be elected. And even if he somehow pulled it off, what makes anyone think the result would be different?
That was obvious in 2020. There is no elections in the USA. The Republic is dead. Actually I think Canada is dead too.
yes . long dead with 32% of the vote prime minister .
“…….what makes anyone think the result would be different?”
Result = Awareness, the wakening of the sleeping public.
They still think they can win an election? Dream on.
“They still think they can win an election?”
Regardless, better to try at the polls first than head to the hills with some bacon and beans and hope it all goes away one day.
“Regardless, better to try at the polls first than head to the hills with some bacon and beans and hope it all goes away one day.”
I would really like to believe that, but I just can’t. I’m with Thomas on this one…
There was organized election fraud in 2020 that gave Biden his ‘win’. No one has been prosecuted for that fraud. In fact, the Democrats spent *millions* of dollars on lawyers in key US states to stop any meaningful audits or recounts that might have exposed this fact (because nothing says ‘honest and clean election’ like *refusing* to allow anyone to examine your actions, right?). That being the case, there is no reason whatsoever for the Democrats to not cheat again. They got away with it. They’ll keep doing it.
NB: Will have to ctrl-[minus] to reduce pic size for best effect.
Nice one
This is going to backfire on the Dems bigly.
Please explain how?
Stand by
It isn’t the people that voted for him the last time that are going to put him over the top; he already has those. The same goes for the people that absolutley despise him; we already know that they’ll NEVER vote for him and can, therefore, be discounted.
However, how many people are out there that have absolutley NO love for Donald Trump, yet hate what is happening with him even more because they believe that it’s ultimatley and fundamentally wrong NO MATTER what side of the aisle one is on?
I guess we’ll see, eh?
The next cheat might still work as you’ve suggested above but…
Catturd ™ @catturd2 4h
The Left were salivating yesterday waiting for the Trump mugshot, and as usual, today they’re still bitter, angry, pissed off, and miserable.
Meanwhile … we’re laughing, joking, happy, and using the mugshot as a rallying cry to win big in 2024.
World’s biggest backfire.
People are selling t-shirts already with Trump’s mugshot on them. His campaign is selling them for sure.
Just do what the Dems did – mail in voting.
Because when -everybody- knows that the voting process is hopelessly corrupt, and that the courts are hopelessly corrupt, they will start doing things The Other Way.
The regime cannot police the populace. It is impossible. There are too many people to manage. Meaning, Thomas, that cooperation is voluntary. Even in China that’s still true. Once the preponderance of people in a country decide they’re not having it, its over. History is littered with examples. Even England had a civil war.
At some point, probably pretty soon, Americans will decide that’s it, they’re done. Then it will not be safe to be a member of the ruling faction. Backfire. Bigly.
If the average American voter can’t see that the dems will do anything to hold onto to power then God help us all . Here in Canada the polls are favouring PP and you can rest assured the media will do their part to destroy him as well .
The average American is much like the average canadian, dumb as a bag of rocks.
CNN Worries Trump Will Use Mugshot To His ‘Political Advantage’
During CNN’s live coverage of Trump’s motorcade to the Fulton County, Georgia jail for the former President’s booking on Erin Burnett OutFront, fill-in anchor Kaitlan Collins and correspondent Sara Murray fretted that Trump would use his new mugshot “to his political advantage” and fundraise off the photo to help his presidential campaign.
“Trump himself has been not downplaying this. I mean, he is certainly seeing how he uses these exact moments to his political advantage,” Collins kvetched.
T shirts, mugs, bumper stickers…
Heh, its going to piss off all the Dems and the faggoty Liberals in Canada.
I’m not a big Donald fan, but I love how much he pisses off so many people I’d turn into compost if I could.
FFS! What a collection of Trumper morons here. It’s scary to think there are hundreds of thousands who adore the Great Orange Rangatang. Maybe millions. Doomsday is just around the corner due to this great level of utter stupidity.
Ask your Ukranian buddies how many of their families and friends would still be alive if Trump was still President. Recall that when Putin suggested he was going to go to Kiev, Trump said that NATO was going to Moscow.
Go ahead! Ask them!
I am willing to admit that Biden is no prize. Too feeble minded and tainted with the corruption surrounding his son. Neither party seems to have a common-sense middle ground.
For the record, I despise our Canadian liberal government.
Doomsday? Like the Abraham Accords.
Thanks for your input.
He’s got his De Niro face on.
I am surprised that some true patriot hasn’t already assassinated the SOB.
It might be the only way to stop World War 3 that he has been itching to start.
Trump wants WW3? That’s a new one. I wonder if you understand what would happen to the Democratic party if Trump were killed? I wonder if you understand what would be done to you? If not, don’t worry, just carry on!
As usual, the cock in your ass has clouded your brain function.
Less military personnel died while the Donald was Prez than under the others, like the magical communist negro.
Wow, going right to the assassination thing, eh? What a class act.
We don’t even say that about #LetsGoBrandon, the potted plant. I just wish he’d have a major incontinence event on live TV and get it over with. Nothing like seeing your President overwhelm his Depends on MSNBC.
Word is he made boomboom in his pants when he visited the Vatican, but sadly no live TV.
I’m waiting for the Orange Jumpsuit Campaign Add.
You know he’s gonna do it.
For to be branded a criminal by the cabal of corrupt kleptocrats is an American badge of Honour.
If there is a 2024 election it will be priceless.
There is of course no need for one.
We can safely assume all who are elected ,are Uni Party Members and remove them all.
Sure,one or two might be “innocent” but no great loss.
These idiots believe their own BS,they “KNOW” without doubt that they are fit to rule over us all.
Most fall into the “Non tool using” segment,never used a tool ever segment, of society and yet here we are,them loudly and proudly insisting that they are exempt the rules they want the rest of us bound by.
That next election ,if held honestly,would be a “We fix you good” vote from the tax payers and tool users.
And if it is not held and held honestly,those same people will perform that “We fix you good” task themselves.
The ballot box is not yet acknowledged as broken,the voters will try it again.
Once the voter refuses to use a broken tool,the game ends.
Just as our malicious idiots believe they can make speech ,as in verbal communication,illegal..all they produce is citizens using nonverbal communication on them.
Do they really want us using kinetic conversations on them?
And do they really want us cleaning the mess they have made?
For most working productive people,the major concerns of professional politicians are non issues.
Through out our history,when the peons have lost patience with the fools who lead,you will notice the solutions a quick and effective.
Cause productive people solve problems.
Fix it once,fix it right.
The creatures who demand obedience,create and promote chaos,waste and destroy.
The blind worms gnawing at the roots of civilization never stop.
And of course..How does one “negotiate” with a parasite?
Trump’s now selling T Shirts with that image and “never surrender” written underneath.
Move over Winston, we have a new contender.
