It’s not unheard of, to see a cross in an infant Jesus (and Peter) painting.

I think that's the essence of teh funny - painters of the era couldn't resist including spoilers.

Oh totally. I’ve shared it to family and friends, it was funny.

And it’s a funny instance for sure.
An actual crucifix , I’m not sure I’ve seen.

It's not just a cross though, it's a crucifix.

I admitted that was something more than I had seen before, in the post above...

Engage research mode!


Saint Columba Altarpiece, Rogier van der Weyden c. 1455

Thanks. My family got a kick out of that.

Amusing (with a bit o' NSFW language)

I was expecting one of them to get up and shoot the others thinking this was all a conspiracy to get him to talk about Q.

I used to like Bartiromo in the early CNBC days but my God she has gone off the rails.

She's trying really hard to be Sarah Palin 2.0.

Paper fucking tiger. She has armed security in a very controlled environment.

I'm not allowed to carry on campus and I folllow the rules. We do not have armed security (tasers only). Yet we routinely get gunshot-wound dropoffs accompanied by armed accomplices, we're in the middle of a gang war (routine shots fired in the park across the street), and carjackings in the area are up over 200% locally.

Her crying for 2A rights is total privileged bullshit. Gun as prop.
And yes, of course she carries a Glock.

The DC Chief of Police has said that Boebert will be treated like any other citizen.

I assume that every visitor entering the Capitol Building goes through a metal detector. Do members of Congress and their staff also do so?

That's the point. She talks a big game but she will definitely not carry into the capitol. And she will have the security of an enforced gun-free zone with armed guards.

Government does NOT get to tell me or my constituents how we are allowed to keep our families safe.

Is it Take your Family to Work Day again in Congress?

She's the epitome of 2nd Amendment culture. Well that and lawlessness.

Grand Junction/western slope gets what they deserve.

That was exactly my first take after reading that tweet.

Also, she’s seen WAY too many Tarantino movies if her love of slo mo walking shots are any indication.

He does it again!



The kid with the face plant is classic.

Follow-up

” A spokesman for Boebert said she was not carrying the gun throughout the video shoot, despite the opening scene.”

Our nation's capital? Which one? U? S? A?

She not only centering he campaign on being a liar but she hires godawful editors.

Well done!

I posted this in the election thread but think it goes here as well.

This response to Eric Trump trying to act tough made me laugh out loud.

The MAGA movement is going nowhere. LOL. If only that was true. Sadly, it isn't going anywhere. The only positive thing to come from its ubiquity is that it has unhinged an otherwise cohesive GOP and fewer moderate or sensible republicans are willing to sleep with the corruption and/or myiopic greed/misanthropy of their counterparts.

Disregard

You guys like that pic dont'cha

I'm down for this if we can have Sandor Clegane vs. Rudy.
