The GOP seem to know about how prone to fraud mail-in v****g is as they seem to be hard at work in creating associated fraud when true examples of same are almost impossible to find. One of their latest schemes is setting up phony b****t drop-off boxes illegally labeled as official drop-off boxes. Here is one of many available links to the story:

Spare me your lame claims that the story is not true. The GOP has already acknowledged their felonious scheme, and government orders to cease and desist have been issued.

Other than to promote their frantic attempt to steal or otherwise de-legitimize the 2020 e******n, please explain to me how this felonious action helps America's efforts at self-governance.

Oh, the shame!

A god fearing Christian is he? He who references 'two Corinthians'? He who cavorts with Playboy hookers, then illegally tries to buy their silence? He who pays no taxes and maintains his personal ownership in businesses that in which he was supposed to divest his interests? He who travels consistently to facilities that he owns while charging the cost of his entourage rip-off rates (the money for this comes from the American taxpayer).

Sure, he is God fearing.

Caruso

He doesn't necessarily control the media, he denigrates it. Any outlet that publishes or reports something with which he disagrees, he labels as f**e. He has been very loud and consistent in this effort. He has used his possession to instill doubt about the integrity of our e******n system. High ranking members of his own administration have debunked his notion that mail-in b****ting is rife with fraud, but he barks on about it. His efforts are designed to suppress the v**e. In 2018, he invented the mass caravan of l**ters, robbers, and evil people of all kinds flooding (or about to flood) over our borders as an e******n technique. No such caravans existed or materialized. He continues to shout to the heavens that Democrats will take 'your' guns away. Name one effort specific to you where this has been attempted. You will not because there is no t***h to such nonsense. Gun ownership is not unique to Republicans, right wingers, or Trump supporters. But you repeat his claim as though you were a caged parrot. He purposely separated would-be immigrant parents from their children in a way that, in many such cases, makes it impossible to re-join parent/child. He and his Republican ilk have exercised the height of hypocrisy to steal at least two supreme court seats so that he can succeed in undoing one of Obama's greatest healthcare accomplishments while he lies about his replacement plan which has been but a week or two away from fruition for nearly four years, now. He stole American lives by lying about the true seriousness of the p******c. He seeks to weaponize the DOJ by insisting that Barr bring indictments against his political rivals. He inflames efforts of w***e s*********ts by refusing to condemn their use of violence to perpetuate this evil concept.
Perhaps worse of all, he undermines the very fabric of the democratic process by refusing to state that he will abide by the results of the upcoming e******n. When he loses, he will step down. All the noise he makes with respect to this issue is just another of his e******n strategies in an effort to change the subject and suck all the air out of discussions of real issues.
Support him while you can. Perhaps, after he loses decisively, you can join a team dedicated to fashioning a f**e version of the Nobel Peace Prize, because, all the bragging about his "3" nominations notwithstanding, he did not win.

Caruso

However, Trump never expresses the respect that you mention. He mocks mask wearing. Being fully involved with the v***s as he is, he takes a joy ride around the hospital, pulls off his mask as he poses for a photo op upon his return to the White House, then turns and walks into the building exposing any who are there to his ongoing infection.

Caruso

He/she does not release his/her tax returns because he/she is not running for public office. Every president since Nixon has honored this tradition which came into being when irregularities surfaced concerning Nixon's taxes. It is something presidents do to eliminate any perception of wrong doing with respect to their personal finances. Presidents typically divest of financial holdings, profit-making businesses in which they have an ownership stake, but not this president. What has Trump been hiding?

The t***h will eventually come out. Be assured of that.

Caruso

Woo-pee! 350 miles which we are not certain are new or repairs. This is the great wall? How many miles of fencing are left to be built? Who is paying for this wall? Mexico as he promised (and please spare me the BS that we US citizens will get our money back from higher fees imposed upon 'legal' immigrants coming from Mexico. That is not at all what Trump promised during his e******n run. Does Trump and his administration have their collective thumb on CBP to fashion this article to polish the administrations image (as they pressure the CDC to dictate the supposed arrival of an 'approved' v*****e?
I have observed all I need to see regarding Trump's great wall. Like most of his initiatives, it is mostly talk and no action, and how anyone of any political persuasion can excuse the way he rode that 'Mexico will pay' promise through the 2016 e******n and totally ignore the fact that it was one great big lie.

Dream on, you Trump dev**ees. Believe what you will. I am not buying it.

Caruso

Trump assures the country that we need not fear the v***s or let it dominate us, this after he cuts short his stay in the hospital, having been cared for by a team of elite doctors, having been administered a number of the most current drugs, some still in the experimental stage. As long as you have round-the clock secret service attention, 24/7 medical care, no matter where you are on earth, as long as you have absolute, 100% healthcare coverage, and as long as no president has joined a suit to eliminate what healthcare you do have, then his assurances make perfect sense.

I am not alone in my view that his handling of his own illness is a slap in the face to everyday citizens of this country and extremely hurtful and disrespectful to the 200,000+ victims of this v***s and their families. We will not forget, Donald.

Caruso

There will be little criticism on this forum from his supporters. His own secret service is outraged that he would put those who covered him during this foolish escapade in danger, but his supporters will think what he did was fine. That's the way it is in this politically polarized country. They continue to describe Biden as though he is hiding in his basement, wearing his unbelievably huge mask everywhere.

Caruso

You and I both know that, had Trump signed an executive order mandating mask use, it would not have been enforceable just as his claim that he shut down the economy is also BS. He didn't shut anything down and he has not/cannot open anything up, as all shutting down and opening up is affected by the action of state and local governments, so quit making stuff up.

He was unt***hful as he described the v***s as virtually harmless, something that would go away on its own even though he knew otherwise (or, perhaps you think the sound of his voice on the Woodward tapes is a h**x). On a personal level, he is evil, self-centered, a truly vulgar being who c***ts on his wife, sleeps with hookers that he later has to pay off in an attempt buy their silence, and, as the ever-seeping t***h will continue to document, c***ts this country by not paying his share of taxes.

I definitely do not want to see him die, but life has a habit of exacting cruel ironies on those who thumb their nose at reality. His choice to treat a real p******c as a h**x has caught up with him, and he has no one to blame for his situation but himself, and that reality probably causes him more pain than the disease, itself.

I would never wish sickness or death upon any human being, but I have a hard time summoning any sympathy for this man who just this week mocked Joe Biden for his mask wearing. He has caused his current misery.

You could also use a desktop publishing application. Scribus is free and open source and will allow you to arrange your photos on a page, resize them to your taste, annotate them if you wish. I use it all the time. It will run on the three major platforms (Windows, Mac, Linux), and I find it very useful.

Good luck.

There is nothing Republicans will not do to suppress the v**e.

There are plenty of other links if you distrust the one I have shown above.

'Tax data' . . . what is f**e about that? Everyone would have Trump's actual returns (at least those contingent to and during his term) if only he had kept his promise to disclose them. F**e is his phony excuse that he cannot release them because he is under audit. F**e is his claim that he closed down the country (he did not close down anything). F**e is his claim that he didn't know David Duke or P***d B**s (he tells the press he needs them to fill him in on who the P***d B**s are . . . why doesn't he watch a little less TV and get up off his lazy, disinterested dairy aire and find out who they are on his own). F**e is his claim that western states should maintain forest floors (on mostly federal lands) to reduce forest fires. F**e is his claim that he is a great businessman.
Believe what you will, my money is on the NYT.

Caruso
F**e is pretty much everything Donald Trump.

Everyone is offering good advice. Note also, if your goal is to print and you have processed a RAW file, you need not convert to JPG. I usually convert from RAW to TIF. If I need to share a photo/photos online, I will then convert the TIF to JPG. I could accomplish that conversion in my RAW editor or I could convert one or many TIFs via Irfanview. Either way, it takes just a few seconds. TIFs give me a lossless, printable format.

You could also share a TIF online, but the file sizes are large, and, in my case, I get complaints that they take too long to download, etc.

Good luck.

Caruso

There will be no suicides over this non-news. Anyone can nominate anyone for the prize. Donald only cares about this prize because he is desperate to match or exceed Obama in accolades. Donald has had phony Time magazine covers printed up showing him as the 'man of the year'. Who is so vane as to do that? Maybe he will have something printed up showing him to be a Nobel Prize winner, also.

Counting the number of nominations is on the same scale. Face the t***h. Donald's SAT scores are the product of someone he paid to take the test, Obama excelled throughout his academic career, no paid stand-ins required.

Trump is green with envy for Obama and his accomplishments. He is green with envy for any genuinely accomplished businessman.

. . . and now, as the t***h of his business ineptness drips out, he is truly getting desperate. This reality must be tough on supporters who put their faith in this hollow man.

Caruso

I am curious why you defend these sort of actions by Trump. Do you feel it is ok that YOU pay taxes, but he does not? Are you so partisan that you would rather this country be c***ted by its own president that have him face and be held responsible for his actions? Really?

If he shot someone on 5th Avenue, would you give him a pass?

How bad must it get before his base sees through this crook?

Eventually, enough will be revealed that you will see that 'Dems' are not the only ones whining. The man promised to reveal his taxes, but he has not. He painted himself as some business wizard which we now learn that he is not. He eschews our allies to side with dictators. This is not f**e news. How much more will it take before his supporters see him for what he is, a phony.
