NOT WEIRD

[DemocratSinceBirth]

[if..fish..had..wings]

1. He is now a Cherubim? nt

[Wednesdays]

49. Specifically, the Archangel Jophiel.

TCF is rather a fallen angel, if anything.

[underpants]

2. Bernie Kerik?

[Wiz Imp]

3. I'd call it sick

[captain queeg]

4. OMG. Yeah that's not weird.

[PJMcK]

5. VERY WEIRD!

Imagine how much time and effort went into this garbage. The funny part is that they’re not untalented as the painting shows some higher level of craft. But the subject is beyond weird. It’s fucked up.

[Ocelot II]

11. It's not very good. The figures are badly proportioned and clumsily drawn.

A lot of work went into producing weird crap.

[Farmer-Rick]

32. Someone slept through anatomy class

They look like bubble people.

[yardwork]

37. It's a badly executed copy of a famous painting.

It's atrocious.

[Ocelot II]

41. It's based on a painting (a number of them, actually) of Adam and Eve

being expelled from the Garden of Eden by an angel with a flaming sword. The "art" is seriously fucked up and so is the theology. Adam and Eve (Biden and Harris) sinned by eating an apple from the tree of knowledge, which in MAGA world would be a bad thing, so the angel (Trump) expels them from Eden (the White House) because they knew too much?

Uh huh.

[allegorical oracle]

69. It's also a triptych -- one scene over three separate panels. That became

a popular early Christian format for altar paintings dating back to the Middle Ages.

[GreenWave]

6. I guess that's Kamala pointing at a crazy person

[Irish_Dem]

7. What nasty people.

[milestogo]

8. Is that supposed to be Joe Biden or Tim Walz?

They're very muscular.

Kamala's wearing nothing but panties.

This is too weird for me.

[Srkdqltr]

9. What??? Not Weird ? Way beyond weird, beyond stupid. I have no word for it.

You have to be really rich or deeply connected to appreciate that, whatever it is.

[Ocelot II]

10. Not weird at all; nope, not even slightly.

Those two seem to be surprisingly proud of some very bad artwork that isn't at all weird.

I don't know whether to or or

[Arne]

12. It's obvious that these two just had sex.

Look how smug they are.

[dalton99a]

13. Another masterpiece destined for the Donald J. Trump Museum of MAGA Art

aka your nearest landfill

[Ocelot II]

14. "Meet The New Artist Taking Trumpworld By Storm."

It’s Lena Ruseva, whose phantasmagorical portraits of the former president imagine him in a variety of mystical and historical situations, including as a Roman emperor, a pharaoh, meditating in the robes of a Buddhist monk, and a warlord astride a bear. Her collection is called “Trump: Parallel Universe.” And it has attracted the attention of bigwigs in the MAGA universe.

Take the piece-de-la-resistance, the one before which Bernie Kerik posed: “The Expulsion from the White House.”

....In another Ruseva masterpiece, Trump’s divinity is more explicit. Inspired by Michelangelo’s “The Creation of Adam,” she portrays Trump as an astronaut reaching out his finger of god to a green alien. It is titled “Star Peace.” Trump is no mere tribune of the American electorate. He is a deity with a divine right to the Oval Office – and to the galaxy.

Ruseva, an aspiring muralist, takes that approach to the canvas, resulting in a vaguely defined landscape and human subjects who are either the victims of pituitary dysfunction or misplaced satire.

Lots more about this "artist" here: https://talkingpointsmemo.com/news/elena-ruseva-trump-maga-artist

[dalton99a]

18. +1. "Ruseva, a Russian immigrant, sees the paintings as a way to commune spiritually with Americans"

[Wednesdays]

52. "It's Lena Ruseva, whose...portraits of the former president imagine him in a variety of mystical and historical...

Reminiscent of this:

[Ocelot II]

54. Reminiscent in spirit, but that's much better art technically, despite its content.

Lena Ruseva is a terrible artist, just apart from her politics. Sadly, the cult seems to love her very, very bad art. Even John McNaughton, the Thomas Kincaid of MAGA art, has better technique.

[Kid Berwyn]

15. Not weird at all not.

DU from 2004:

Know your BFEE: Homeland Czar & Petro-Turd Bernie Kerik

https://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=104&topic_id=2788428

Criming then. Criming now. Still weird.



Boris Epshteyn is a client.

[BoRaGard]

16. G.O.P. is a party of degenerate blasphemers

They going totally satanic with these blasphemous images.

Shame on them.

Now they will roast in Hell through all eternity.

[BlueKota]

57. For certain it's blasphemy

[NBachers]

17. Nice dress, Donnie

[Blue Owl]

19. Bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahahahahahahahaha....

All you can do is point and laugh at the utter stupidity and ridiculousness of it all….

[farmboy]

20. Look at Donny, already turning on Tulsi Gabbard!

[Arne]

21. See his bone spurs? Neither do I.

[keithbvadu2]

26. Didn't seem to stop him from taking up the sword.

[jalan48]

22. Deification of rulers has always been a thing. To see it happening in the US is a little scary.

The first undisputed Roman ruler to be deified was Julius Cesar. He began to be worshiped while he was alive due to his military successes. Statues were erected and games were held in his honor.

[aeromanKC]

23. Why is Trump's Mom Mary shooing away Adam and Eve?

Weird.

[liberal N proud]

24. It's not art

It is disgraceful and it is disgusting.

[Xavier Breath]

25. Good call having him descending stairs and not a ramp.

[Talitha]

27. Hopefully some activists will glue themselves to it.

[Keepthesoulalive]

28. It goes far beyond weird

What is wrong with these people?

[LuckyCharms]

29. Well, that's fucked up. n/t

[bullimiami]

30. WTAF?????

[Elessar Zappa]

31. And they wonder why people point and laugh at them.

Creepy weirdos. Not to mention blasphemers if the artist is Christian.

[displacedvermoter]

33. Bernie Kerik used an apartment near

Ground Zero that was being used to help coordinate post-911 operations for illicit trysts. He is gross in a Giuliani kind of way.

[lindysalsagal]

34. Call the FBI: The white house is on fire and it's TSCF's sword. This is a threat to the white house.

I'm not kidding.

[BlueKota]

58. I reported to FB as a call for violence

Fire sword aimed at the President and Vice President, and you're right about White House on Fire. I loathe tsf ass kissers.

I bet FB won't do take it down though.

[muriel_volestrangler]

63. Seriously? It's at least 3 years old.

(See the talkingpointsmemo.com link above). Do you really need to waste someone's time reading your report?

Damn right they shouldn't "take it down". It's just an example of Republicans being weird, and I don't want the FBI interfering with DU laughing at them.

[BlueKota]

66. Their reporting process consists of

checking off pre-written one sentence reasons for reporting. Also pretty sure it's AI controlled now. So thanks for your concern about wasting employees time.

Also it's age makes no difference. It still suggests Trump has a divine right to chase the duly elected President and VP out of the WH with violence.

For clarification I reported it to Facebook not the FBI.

[muriel_volestrangler]

68. OK, I missed that you said "FB" not "FBI". At least that's not public money.

Have you reported this thread to DU? Please don't, but your logic dictates you should have.

Suggesting anyone has a divine right does not belong in the realm of reality (and neither, of course, does Trump being a winged angel). It's a waste of time complaining about fantasy. Plus, the biblical reference is not about an angel chasing someone with violence. The angel is a guard for Eden, and they didn't chase Adam and Eve.

[Carlitos Brigante]

35. Why is that giant, fat cherub going after Tubberville and Tulsi Gabbard? nt

[lindysalsagal]

36. This is from facebook OAF nation . Looks like dangerous stuff.

https://www.facebook.com/oafnationactual?locale=te_IN

[angrychair]

38. What. The.

And I can it stress this enough. FUUUUUUUUCCK.

That is seriously damn weird. Republicans get called "weird" until the end of time because of that picture alone. I mean to pose next into it? You should have your head examined.

[IrishAfricanAmerican]

39. 🙄

[lindysalsagal]

40. I just reported this facebook page to the FBI. Not kidding. https://www.facebook.com/oafnationactual?localete_IN

I didn't mention Democratic Underground at all.

[BlueKota]

55. I reported too.

Under violent and hateful.

[lindysalsagal]

59. Thankyou!

[muriel_volestrangler]

64. Why not mention DU too? If you genuinely think this is worth reporting to the FBI

then surely it's just as hateful to you being here as on Facebook. Have you alerted on it here? Have you alerted on the articles about it from 2021? There's a link to one above. I mean, if you think this is something illegal, you must be fuming at seeing it on DU.

Or maybe, just maybe, it's just stupid RW crap, and no more "incitement to violence" than the movie "Air Force One" was.

[Sneederbunk]

42. Just one convicted felon honoring another convicted felon.

[William Seger]

43. No golden idol for this cult

They worship a spray painted turd.

[GiqueCee]

44. That amateurish triptych...

... is an obscenity. She's in thrall to Putin, obviously.

It will be necessary to coin new words and phrases to adequately describe just how vile and treacherous are those who persist in supporting the Orange Gargoyle.

[Wednesdays]

45. Well, Hitler was an artist, too. nt

[Ksout]

47. Idolatry?

Comparable to worship of Baal?

[Ocelot II]

56. He painted some mediocre landscapes that weren't quite good enough

to get him into art school. If he'd been accepted, maybe WWII wouldn't have happened at all. Even so, Hitler was a better painter than this hack.

[BlueKota]

60. Bet those who mistakenly thought the French

were mocking the Last Supper at the Olympic Games opening won't have a problem with this fucking piece of trash.

[Blue Dawn]

46. Omg.

Ridiculous. Absolutely ridiculous.

The subject matter is ludicrous. Also, as an artist myself, I am offended by the horrible anatomy. In art school, we focused on drawing and painting nude models and learning correct anatomy so that our portraits would actually resemble real human beings.

This artist woefully lacks skill. I don't know whether to laugh or to throw up. I think I'll do both.

[StarryNite]

51. If those people are the artists there could be an easy explanation.

It looks like the woman has a drink in her hand so maybe she was drunk when she was painting? In any event it looks like crap put out by a person or people with no talent.

[StarryNite]

48. Good grief. What garbage. LOL

[mzmolly]

50. At least they clothed him in this work of

... something.

[Joinfortmill]

53. Insane and ludicrous

[allegorical oracle]

61. Maybe this artist is related to Elias Garcia Martinez, famous for ruining

a 2,000-year-old Spanish fresco in 2012

[ms liberty]

62. Someone should pay her to not paint. Seriously. She is awful.

Flat, lacking proportion or scale. Not an original idea and the execution is just not inspired or creative. The subject matter is extremely off-putting.
I would never show that to anyone - it's embarrassingly bad. It's cultish fan propaganda art by someone who's not very good.

[BlueKota]

67. I agree with you.

Someone should pay her not to paint. Someone should also pay Trump to drop out of the election.

[MorbidButterflyTat]

65. How pathetically stupid

It looks like the avenging angel is trying to give the naked man a hot foot.

Cheap easels, too.
