A picture of Donald Trump, with the following text:

By Oliver Kornetzke

Behold. The festering carcass of American rot, shoved into an ill-fitting flesh, a rotting pumpkin suit: the sleaze of a conman, the cowardice of a draft dodger, the gluttony of a parasite, the racism of a Klansman, the sexism of a back-alley creep, the ignorance of a bar-stool drunk, and the greed of a hedge-fund ghoul--all spray-painted orange and paraded like a prize hog at a county fair. Not a president. Not even a man.

Just the diseased distillation of everything this country swears it isn't but always has been--arrogance dressed up as exceptionalism, stupidity passed off as common sense, cruelty sold as toughness, greed exalted as ambition, and corruption worshiped like gospel.

It is America's shadow made flesh, a rotting pumpkin idol proving that when a nation kneels before money, power and spite, it doesn't just lose its soul, it shits out this bloated obscenity and calls it a leader.

The lesson is: don't ever visit the USA. If you do, you will be disappeared into a gulag. Don't go.

I became a vegetarian 40 years ago. Gradually since then, I've eaten less and less cheese and eggs.

These days I'm prolly 99.9% vegan. I feel fine. I miss cheese, because good vegan cheese is not readily available at supermarkets. But I've discovered some good egg substitutes. I had scrambled "egg" for breakfast. Delicious!

But you can carry as many guns as you want.
