Curt should get in. And if he wants to sport a MAGA hat on his HoF plaque that's for him to decide.

Schilling won't be the first or last person hurt by the hall of fame for attacking the media, aka, the people who vote people into the Hall of Fame. He'll get in. Probably after Clemens and Bonds.Originally Posted by sturg33

That's disgusting. God dislikes idolatry and has a way of tearing down idols.

Anyone feel like he painted that or had it painted and snapped a pic when it came in? Then went on to say they are nuts?

Art is a subjective term used to describe the viewer’s thoughts and feelings towards a specific piece of work.
However, an artist in Jacksonville only received negative responses to a painting he made but when he examined closer, it was exactly what he expected all along.
The artist goes by his initials B.S. and chose to do so after witnessing the backlash and alleged death threats given to local art broker Tristan Orvis when the two placed the painting up for sale on Facebook marketplace.
At first glance, you can see Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi as a Roman Soldier piercing Trump’s right side with a spear, wife Melania praying at his feet like the Virgin Mary, along with members of the media and several foreign presidents and dictator such as Vladimir Putin and Kim Jung-Un looking on.
The controversy is obvious as both liberals and conservatives showed their disgust at what they described as an abomination. The artist explained the meaning behind the painting is far more telling of how the viewer is supposed to see it.
B.S. described the painting as his intent to highlight and call into question within the viewer such notions as belief in religion and politics, along with how narrow the bridge is between the two. He also wished to spark the viewers’ thoughts on nationalism and the media influence on the country.
Its purpose? To start conversations between both parties while using the “emotional mirror” to look inside one’s self in order to take personal responsibility for how the country looks when discussing politics. What was made to be thought-provoking turned to bashing, according to Orvis.
“There are a lot of clear emotions that come with this and it caused a big knee jerk reaction. A lot of Americans, when they see his (Trump’s) face will come up with an opinion of liking or disliking him before reading an article or hearing the news,” Orvis said. “Both the liberal and conservative response to the artist was how sacrilegious the painting came off as.”
One man, claiming to be a catholic Christian crusader said the $5,000 price tag would be worth paying if he (Orvis) killed himself along with destroying the painting. Another individual joked that all conservative followers see Trump as a messiah and is the second coming of Jesus.

if the artist's goal was to provoke he succeeded
"I am a victim, I will tell you. I am a victim."
"I am your retribution."

bunch of clowns
I saw it depicting Melania in the Mary Magdelin role.
.
My biggest problem with supporting the arts is that most artists are ignorant, pompous, jackasses who think they have some great statement to make but are really providing no benefit to anyone with their work. It's nice to see B.S. supporting me in that.

"I am a victim, I will tell you. I am a victim."
"I am your retribution."
tastes in art change...so maybe B.S. is just ahead of his time
"I am a victim, I will tell you. I am a victim."
"I am your retribution."
hope no one minds my sneaking van gogh into TLHLIM
"I am a victim, I will tell you. I am a victim."
"I am your retribution."
a book recommendation...why not
"I am a victim, I will tell you. I am a victim."
"I am your retribution."
moving on to a different kind of art
"I am a victim, I will tell you. I am a victim."
"I am your retribution."

"Most artists"? 'Artists' are no more ignorant, pompous, etc. than any other people. Projecting a little, are we?
Artists are often envied by those who feel they have no talent themselves.
Everyone has a creative side. Where would the world be without creators?

I really love the crazy randos who hurt nobody vs the insane institutions who are impacting the lives many
Best version ever!
When Don wrote, "...perhaps they never will", we know who "they" refers to.
