The thread I split off from the old one seems to have vanished, or I’ve brained my damage. Anyway:
That last pic might be AI, I dunno, it’s hard to tell these days.

Don’t be so cynical, I’m sure lots of tigers have a weird dangly thing under their chin that hangs down underneath their body and becomes a single rear leg.
To Al’s post (i’m not going to quote it because it’s long) that’s a tad unfair to Ditko, though not totally. I will say, I was amazed when I saw scans of the original pencils to some of his late era Spider-Man. Gwen looked very cute in the raw pencils. It’s just that Ditko’s own harsh inking turned her into the Grinch.
It’s interesting that the US stays staunchly behind Israel, bombing Yemen and threatening Iran, even as it is moving away from Europe. I think in the Trump era it is very much about personal sympathies and connections.

Trump is a Russian asset.
Someone elsewhere posted his history with Russia:
July 1987, Moscow, USSR.
41-year-old Donald Trump arrives in Moscow with his wife, Czech model Ivana Zelnichkova, at the invitation of the Soviet Ambassador to the United States (!!! ) Yuri Dubinina. The invitation was approved by the politicalburo of the ck kprs.
Trump, who is in a financial crisis – his assets are plummeting rapidly and the debt is rising – reflects on his condition in a famous joke:
— “See that beggar in the hat on 5th Avenue?” “- he tells his companion, who just gave a diamond necklace.
“That man is 1.5 billion dollars richer than me! ”
“But he’s got nothing!” ”
“He has nothing, but I have 1.5 billion in debt!” ”
Returning from Moscow, bankrupt Trump unexpectedly receives a loan from a consortium of 16 banks and buys a Plaza Hotel in New York. Soon, it will get another loan from a consortium of 22 banks to buy Eastern Air Lines Shuttle (renamed Trump Shuttle).
What happened in Moscow in 1987? Who has been funding Trump?
Financing came from Soviet sources of KGB in the United States – through guarantees of loans, not direct monetary payments. In Moscow-1987, Trump’s first political contract took place – he was offered support for a future US presidential campaign, and he agreed.
Volodymyr Kryuchkov, head of the KGB, in a report from the Politburo presented Trump as a suitable American candidate who could become a controlled president of the United States.
Before the trip to Moscow, Trump said he would never run for president, because he prefers the free life of a businessman. But after 1987, he changed his position.

1996-1997, Moscow, Russia.
Trump visits Moscow three times, meets with Russian businessmen, trying to build ** Trump Tower Moscow without his own investment, only at the expense of Moscow criminal structures funds.
The agency (FSB) watches over him without putting pressure. It’s a relief for Trump, but he also doesn’t get money, which leaves him frustrated in Yeltsin’s Russia.

July 1998, Moscow.
Vladimir Putin becomes the director of the FSB. General Philip Bobkov, a former deputy chairman of the KGB, who oversees foreign intelligence and handled Trump’s case, is his adviser.
Bobkov passes Putin a compromise on Trump. Trump gets a “message”: the FSB returned control and remembers about it.
—
November 2013, Moscow.
After the 2008 financial crisis, Trump returns to Moscow as a bankruptcy, holding the Miss Universe contest in Crocus City.
Event organizer Araz Agalarov pays Trump $14 million and gives unlimited access to young contestants. The FSB films all the events in high resolution, including moments with underage girls posing as contestants.
Putin’s agents remind Trump of his 1987 “obligation” promising funding and intelligence support for his presidential campaign.

Putin’s propagandists are celebrating:
“America is ours!” ”

July 16, 2018, Helsinki, Finland.
Trump’s closed-door meeting with Putin. Only their translator is an FSB agent.
Putin shows Trump records of his meetings in Crocus City. Trump comes off as a loser and tells reporters:
“… I don’t trust my intelligence agencies… i trust Vladimir Putin… ”

January 6, 2020, Washington DC.
Trump is losing the election. Putin’s agents are sending him a “message” – not to concede defeat, to lift up his supporters and attack the US Congress.
Trump urges supporters to storm Capitol.
—
March 22, 2024 Moscow.
Putin burns Crocus City – a kind of Trump signal.

Bottom line:
Trump is all in:
1. Many-year cooperation with Soviet and Russian intelligence services.
2. Funding from an enemy state.
3. Compromise in the form of video recordings.
4. Direct communication with terrorist attacks organized by Putin.
Putin has made Trump his “pocket president”.
It’s interesting that the US stays staunchly behind Israel, bombing Yemen and threatening Iran, even as it is moving away from Europe. I think in the Trump era it is very much about personal sympathies and connections.
Sorry this post was supposed to go in the politics thread!
