Henry Fuseli, The Nightmare, 1781, oil on canvas, 180 × 250 cm (Detroit Institute of Arts), chiaroscuro

---

Not Lady Liberty! Not political!

"Fuseli’s The Nightmare has no moralizing subject. The scene is an invented one, a product of Fuseli’s imagination ... subject is not drawn from history, the Bible, or literature. The painting has yielded many interpretations and is seen as prefiguring late nineteenth-century psychoanalytic theories regarding dreams and the unconscious ...

"The figure that sits upon the woman’s chest is often described as an imp or an incubus, a type of spirit said to lie atop people in their sleep or even to have sexual intercourse with sleeping women. Fuseli’s painting is suggestive but not explicit, leaving open the possibility that the woman is simply dreaming. Yet, her dream appears to take frightening, physical form in the shapes of the incubus and the horse. According to Fuseli’s friend and biographer John Knowles, who saw the first drawing Fuseli made for the composition in 1781, the horse was not present in the drawing but added to the painting later.

"Although it is tempting to understand the painting’s title as a punning reference to the horse, the word “nightmare” does not refer to horses. Rather, in the now obsolete definition of the term, a mare is an evil spirit that tortures humans while they sleep. As Samuel Johnson’s A Dictionary of the English Language (1755) defined it, a mare or “mara, [is] a spirit that, in heathen mythology, was related to torment or to suffocate sleepers. A morbid oppression in the night resembling the pressure of weight upon the breast.” Thus, Fuseli’s painting may in fact be understood as embodying the physical experience of chest pressure felt during a dream-state."

Harris is INELIGIBLE.

It will have to be her Democrat opponents who make this case.

[Bruce Campbells Chin]

They wouldn't need to run on anything. Obama didn't run on anything substantive, and he won twice.

It would be a tough ticket. Biden would get the anti-Trump RINOS and squishier suburbanites, and she'd bring in blacks and leftists.

It's about demographics, not policy.

[trublu]

In my opinion, It won’t matter what they run on. Hillary won the popular vote and lost only because of her hubris and tactical mistakes by her campaign. The Dems are smart and won’t let that happen again. They will take every precaution this time and, of course, will have a rabid hate-Trump media at their back.

In my opinion...

[Snake Skin Sonny]

I fear this ticket could win.

Win what?

You got a verified loser who is senile, perverted and old white man (and I do mean OLD, as in being Reagan's age when he LEFT office) and a slut, half-white something or other, whose claim to fame is having slept to the top with Willie Brown.

No, that ticket won't go anywhere in a large majority of the mid and upper west and a huge majority of the southern states.

You can call it racism and ageism, matters not, as human nature is what it is and it ain't human nature to just ignore that stuff.

I hope to hell the idiots do run that ticket.

It's already a One Way to Nowhere.

And don't forget the "Governor" of the State of Georgia...that waddling can of Crisco lard, Champion of Picket Fence Corn-on-the-Cob eating, her Fatness, Stacey what the hell ever her name is.

The dims didn't put her up for the SOTU response for nothing.

That party is a disgraceful mess...let them self-immolate and destruct.

And then there is the homosexual, Cory Spartacus and of course, Fauxahontas and her beer in the kitchen...and that Klobuchar idiot that eats salad with a comb and, well, you get the idea.

They ain't got nothing.

Except a comedy show on it's way to cancellation.

[Popman]

I don’t think that she is “Constitutionally Eligible.”

Ha, Ha, Ha.

Seriously ???

Not that I disagree with your point, but she is black, a women, from California. All that is missing her declaring herself bisexual...

"The Constitution as the rule of law ?

That barn door has been opened for years. Any premise of "law" is long gone...

[gundog]

So, Mondale Ferraro....that went well for the dims....

It makes no difference whose names are on the Rat ticket. The fraud and cheating will be equally as strong for any ticket. All they know is that they need to cheat better than they did in 2016. I hope James O’Keefe will have hundreds of people embedded in campaigns and precincts across the country.

[gcparent]

I think that’s the best ticket they have. Better than Stacey Abrams!

[gcparent]

We are not allowed to talk about it or we are racist.

[ETL]

Nothing at all funny or light-hearted about Biden’s behavior around little girls. The stuff is seriously troublesome. I can’t see how anyone, including liberal democrats, would be OK with it.

Pence should retire and let Ben Carson take his place.
At least it would not be another halfrican.

‘A dream ticket’: Black lawmakers pitch Biden-Harris to beat Trump

"I mean, you got the first mainstream
African-American who is articulate and
bright and clean and a nice-looking guy
...I mean, that's a storybook, man."

[ETL]

Pence should retire and let Ben Carson take his place.

Are you kidding? Pence is great.

Do you seriously think Ben Carson has more than a slight clue as to what we're up against in the world, particularly with with Russia.

Mike Pence on Putin and Russia:

(from the VP debate on Oct 5, 2016)

“When Donald Trump and I observe that, as I’ve said, in Syria, in Iran, in Ukraine, that the small and bullying leader of Russia has been stronger on the world stage than this administration, that’s stating painful facts. That’s not an endorsement of Vladimir Putin — that’s an indictment of the weak and feckless leadership of Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama.” ..."

What we’re dealing with is the — you know, there’s an old proverb that says the Russian bear never dies, it just hibernates.

And the truth of the matter is, the weak and feckless foreign policy of Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama has awakened an aggression in Russia that first appeared a few years ago with their move in Georgia, now their move into Crimea, now their move into the wider Middle East.
