We may need to amend the Constitution if we really want to get campaign donations and spending under control.

And guns.

I'd like to know the "why" here.

It might be real, but I doubt it.

Most of these 'odd' pictures on the Internet are two or three pictures stitched together for entertainment.

Usually the blurrier the picture, jagged lines and pixel residue, the more likely it's a fake. And made by someone with really bad photo editing skills.

I can imagine that the door is in the corner of a finished attic and there was nowhere else to have a door. It looks like a junk room, maybe where the air handler for the a/c system.

Well, at least there appears to be a lock on the door. LOL

I stopped posting my Photoshop creations on line, because too many people believed they were real. LOL Kinda took the fun out of it.

Had a similar situation in one of my apartments long ago. Me first floor. Landlord second floor. Her stairs came down to my kitchen door.

When I took the apartment she had to come through my kitchen and then a sharp turn into the basement stairs to do laundry. I was told it was only temporary.

She finally did get a contractor to cut out a doorway with no door but they did nothing with the basement stairwell. So it was a bit of a dangerous step down for her but I didn't care.

Did that make any sense?

I didn't want her coming through my kitchen.

What if I wanted to fuck the turkey on the kitchen table or something?

I’m going to go with fake only because there’s a strong enough light source on the door to create a shadow from the knob but there’s no light on the wall.

And guns.

That too.

But that could potentially be fixed, or at least improved, just by lawmakers -- IF the campaign contributions issue were fixed so that gun manufacturers and their mouthpieces in the NRA could no longer use piles of money to bribe and/or bully lawmakers.

Look, also, at the stair railing. it's huge/fat compared to the doorknob. And it should extend to the top of the steps, and be lit up and casting a sharp shadow like the doorknob, but it isn't. I really don't think anyone would install a railing that doesn't go all the way to the top of the steps.

Republicans probably see it as cutting out the riffraff.

Democrats probably see it as hating Republicans is good for your overall health.

I was purging my old emails when I came upon this bizarre response that I made to something he-who-must-not-be-named posted in the Weather thread some years ago. I'm not going to scroll through 300-odd pages to find what this was in response to:

-Quote (Originally by Araucaria)---
The redneck stood before the painting, and his anus began to freeze inside from the exertion. He questioned the painting, berated it, made love to it, prayed to it; he called it mother, he called it whore and slut, called it his beloved...

(apologies to Hermann Hesse, as I have shamelessly bastardized a quote from his classic Demian)
