They sad he lost 100 pounds. I’d guess he was 100 pounds overweight when they nabbed him.

Note that the framing of picture INTENDED to include the Che photo...the photographer was, at least pandering but, more than likely, was furthering an agenda.

And as one twitchy poster said, “Is that Mao on the pencil-holder / coffee-mug?

Who is the guy smelling the babe’s hair? I think something is going on there or he wants it to go on.

I’ve recently seen that very ray gun in a toy store.
“Special FX Blaster”.

Now, as for the Che picture - framed, no less...
I did NOT see that in the toy store.

These people are probably uber-LIBs who sent this fellow o n his journey to give internet to Jews in Cuba. They see nothing wrong with Che. Most likely they are some sort of “non-profit” so-called Beltway Bandits. The WDC area is infected with them. Most are LIBs.

The “ray gun” looks to me like a cordless drill with a keyless chuck. A dandy tool for extracting confessions out of “enemies of the people” via a little unsceduled dental drilling....if you get my drift. I understand it’s more effective and less bloody than pulling fingernails.

“smelling her hair” is a trick of perspective.
I thought that at first, too, but look where his hands are - makes it a bit awkward to actually have his nose on her head.

Like all of Obunghole’s deals, I feel like we are being played.

Then that is disgusting. It was taken in the attorney’s office. Unbelievable. What was his role? Why do you need a private law firm in such matters? Can you tell me again what country is this that we are living in?

You are apparently correct. The photo I saw, with it on the desk at a different angle did not show the obvious toy-like appearance that yours revealed. That makes it even more puzzling. What are toys doing in commie brutes’ offices?

It’s a noisy little brute, as well.
Probably used in a cathartic manner whenever some republican is on the news.
