Professor says Trump will win in 2020 unless Democrats impeach






What really fuels creative genius: It's about breadth, not depth

Trump had barely reached the tarmac at London Stansted Airport when he lobbed angry tweets at Sadiq Khan, the city’s mayor.

Frans Blok has created an incredibly detailed inverse map of the world, where all the current landmasses have been turned into water and oceans, lakes, and rivers converted into land.

Not only the coast lines are reversed in this world. Also, the relief is consistently the opposite of reality.

And the highest peaks, around eleven kilometer, are found in the Mariana Mountains in the west of the continent Pacifica.

- You imagine the universe made of empty closets turned into satellites by other closets.

- Empty closets, but occupied by a few clotheshangers swinging ceaselessly...

- Yes... hangers and trembling...

[...] Our most daily gestures, our simplest, most normal gestures are charged with our memory of the Bible without us really being aware of it. We come out of the Bible, we are the Bible. [...]



After a long silence, then he continues:

- The forests are very old. The forests are older than man.  They have seen the gods die. And man is naked in a forest of dust, dry leaves and roads covered with leaves and dust.
