Discussion: Nixon Foundation Wants Nothing To Do With Roger Stone

He’s not putting much burnish on the human race as a whole, to be frank. He’s more like one of those horrible nightmare fish that live miles down at the bottom of the ocean.

@hoagie posted the pic of Obama and the Golden State Warriors’ visit. I’m not on Instagram or Facebook, for obvious reasons, but I guess one can see certain posts and read comments.

The comments that followed the post of smiling men were so vile that I stopped reading.

Just saw a twitter post by Meghan McCain, and I had to wonder that Trump’s equally vile and disrespectful comments about her father were because he lost to a black man.

I hear you and I agree. But there’s also something unavoidably male about his particular brand of self entitlement, or to me there is anyway.

That is a great piece.

So what are you saying Nixon Foundation?..that Nixon didn’t have Roger Stone’s face tatted on his back? Must come as a shock to poor Roger.

Oh, no doubt. He’s one of those horny-toad swinger people who can just make you hate life if you consider yourself at all human. He’s a parody of toxic maleness, with the obsessive horniness and the clownish aggression and the sneering self-regard and all the rest of it. He gives us all a bad name and I’ll bet he’s been knocked on his ass more often than he’d care to admit.

Naoto Hattori. Kind of a latter day surrealist. Lives in NY.

I thought they shut down the Fat Nixon Foundation?

What I especially like is the hipster doofus emerging from the piscine nightmare.

Me too. Replete with decorative facial hairs.

Creepily fascinating. I have a photographer friend who lives aesthetically on a pretty much exclusive diet of disturbing images like that.

They said that he is not mentioned in the diaries from 72 to 74. What about 68 to 71?

He was mostly skateboarding, abusing small animals, and participating in circle jerks in those years.

Exactly. The first thing our ancestors did after crawling out of the ocean was to attempt a goatee.

Please don’t equate me with your friend! I just thought this particular image fit.

My taste runs more to Vermeer and Piet Mondrian. And yes there is a link.

Yeah, they did not seem to mince words here. Not really sticking their necks out in terms of libel here.

I didn’t mean it in a negative way on either end. She’s a great person with a visual esthetic that skews a little toward the dark-humor end is all. And even images we’d think of as attractive contain an element of tension or they’re usually not very interesting. Vermeer, man. I’m a photographer and he’s more of an influence than most actual photographers. : )
