A Parliamentarian battle flag, back after 350 years. This ultra-rare English Civil War battle standard, due to go on public display for the first time in three and a half centuries, was kept and preserved by 11 generations of the same English country family. It will be on permanent show at the National Army Museum in London as from this coming Thursday. (National Army Museum).

Parliamentarian Battle Flag:St George’s cross, stars.

Royalist Battle Flag:

Sir Horatio Cary’s Regiment of Horse
Cary’s own troop’s cornet was red with a creature in a barrel and the motto ‘come out you cuckold’ (Illustration 1) referring to the Earl of Essex’s notorious marital problems. The creature might be a ‘fox in a barrel’ or perhaps a stag or reindeer without his antlers.
The major’s cornet simply bore the motto ‘cuckolds we come’ (Illustration 2).

So there’s actually a 400 year old tradition of reactionary shitheads calling their opponents cucks?

Are you fucking serious

Kill cvcks

Of course there is.

Donald Trump has a thing about Barack Obama. Trump is obsessed with Obama. Obama haunts Trump’s dreams. One of Trump’s primary motivators is the absolute erasure of Obama — were it possible — not only from the political landscape but also from the history books. Trump is president because of Obama, or more precisely, because of his hostility to Obama. Trump came onto the political scene by attacking Obama. Trump has questioned not only Obama’s birthplace but also his academic and literary pedigree. He was head cheerleader of the racial “birther” lie and also cast doubt on whether Obama attended the schools he attended or even whether he wrote his acclaimed books. Trump has lied often about Obama: saying his inauguration crowd size exceeded Obama’s, saying that Obama tapped his phones and, just this week, saying that Obama colluded with the Russians. It’s like a 71-year-old male version of Jan from what I would call the Bratty Bunch: Obama, Obama, Obama. Trump wants to be Obama — held in high esteem. But, alas, Trump is Trump, and that is now and has always been trashy. Trump accrued financial wealth, but he never accrued cultural capital, at least not among the people from whom he most wanted it. Therefore, Trump is constantly whining about not being sufficiently applauded, commended, thanked, liked. His emotional injury is measured in his mind against Obama. How could Obama have been so celebrated while he is so reviled? The whole world seemed to love Obama — and by extension, held America in high regard — but the world loathes Trump. A Pew Research Center report issued this week found: “Trump and many of his key policies are broadly unpopular around the globe, and ratings for the U.S. have declined steeply in many nations. According to a new Pew Research Center survey spanning 37 nations, a median of just 22 percent has confidence in Trump to do the right thing when it comes to international affairs. This stands in contrast to the final years of Barack Obama’s presidency, when a median of 64 percent expressed confidence in Trump’s predecessor to direct America’s role in the world.” Obama was a phenomenon. He was elegant and cerebral. He was devoid of personal scandal and drenched in personal erudition. He was a walking, talking rebuttal to white supremacy and the myths of black pathology and inferiority. He was the personification of the possible — a possible future in which legacy power and advantages are redistributed more broadly to all with the gift of talent and the discipline to excel. It is not a stretch here to link people’s feelings about Obama to their feelings about his blackness. Trump himself has more than once linked the two. […] Clearly, not only was Obama’s blackness in the front of Trump’s mind, but Trump also appears to subscribe to the racist theory that success or failure of a member of a racial group redounds to all in that group. This is a burden under which most minorities in this country labor. Trump’s racial ideas were apparently a selling point among his supporters. Recent research has dispensed with the myth of “economic anxiety” and shone a light instead on the central importance race played in Trump’s march to the White House.  […] For Trump, even plans to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act aren’t so much about creating better policy as they are about dismantling Obama’s legacy. The problem with Obamacare isn’t that it hasn’t borne fruit, but rather that it bears Obama’s name. For Trump, the mark of being a successful president is the degree to which he can expunge Obama’s presidency.

He can't handle how he will be remembered as the worst president in U.S. History, so he is striving to make Obama less in any petty way possible. Trump is a Villain in the truest sense of that word.

The Circle of Life

X-rays of pregnant animals, such as this raccoon, show just how creatures carry their offspring

Growing baby: After a gestation period of around seven months, the Muntjac deer typically gives birth to just one fawn

Getting big: This guinea pig looks like she will have her hands full with multiple pups

Slithering out: While 70 per cent of snakes lay eggs, some such as the viper or sea snake give birth to live babies

Cool
