subjects in the most flattering way. He says his next project might be to paint a bipartisan table - both Dems and gop sitting around the table.

But the artist took a good twenty pounds off him.

As an aside everybody in that painting would detest Trump and Trumpism, sans Nixon.

With the exception of IKE, TR and Abe.

Reagan, Bush, and Nixon used dog whistles, cut taxes on the wealthy, couldn't care less about civil rights, misused the FBI, used the media to spin and lie, had vile foreign policies. They are deep in the basement of the house that Trump is building.

His buffoonery is just an embarrassemnt to them but if still active they'd all behave like all the Reppugs who voted for Kavanaugh.

I will never forget that Gerald Ford wrote an amicus brief in favor of his alma mater, the University Of Michigan, defending its affirmative action program before the Supreme Court.
