are up there smiling about this. Maybe even Bette Davis and Lucille Ball.

From Wikipedia:
Hepburn was born on May 12, 1907 in Hartford, Connecticut, the second of six children. Her parents were Thomas Norval Hepburn (18791962), a urologist at Hartford Hospital, and Katharine Martha Houghton (18781951), a feminist campaigner. Both parents fought for social change in the US: Thomas Hepburn helped establish the New England Social Hygiene Association, which educated the public about venereal disease, while the elder Katharine headed the Connecticut Woman Suffrage Association and later campaigned for birth control with Margaret Sanger. As a child, Hepburn joined her mother on several "Votes For Women" demonstrations. The Hepburn children were raised to exercise freedom of speech and encouraged to think and debate on any topic they wished. Her parents were criticized by the community for their progressive views, which stimulated Hepburn to fight against barriers she encountered. Hepburn said she realized from a young age that she was the product of "two very remarkable parents", and credited her "enormously lucky" upbringing with providing the foundation for her success. She remained close to her family throughout her life.

they all will be not only his peers, but his superiors. tRump, we the jury find you guilty you dumb fucking mutt. Guilty of what you ask? Alleging, falsely, that you are a human being, you orange headed freak. Now go lay down by your dish and lick yourself you sniveling bed wetter.
