“So a looming disaster on public policy, a thin-skinned vindictive man with control over the IRS and the Justice Department, a core base of voters who view him in a near messianic light, a Fox News hater, and a man who has made common cause over the years with Bill, Hillary, Harry Reid, and the late Ted Kennedy. Trump really is the Bizarro World version of Obama.”
— Ed Driscoll, on TrumpStop Words

“…sittin’ way up high”
Never mind the general babehood and the token mod-black-chick amazon in the background, check out the uplifting fashions our heroes and their captor are sporting. Paradise Island’s lingerie shops clearly feature Sufficiently Advanced Technology, enough so that I wonder if the Invisible Plane was just a spinoff product.

Cheesecake Champloo 4
A lot of the pictures that accumulate in the leftovers folder after I do a theme search on Gelbooru are rejected for facial expressions, excessively complex backgrounds, or not really being cheesecake. In general, I bias the posts toward “happy-sexy anime-style girls with simple backgrounds”, but that doesn’t mean the others aren’t any good…
