It would be interesting to know what happens. It might prove to be somewhat risky considering that the gop can't handle the heat when they aren't in the kitchen.

And, of course, those laws that their corporate donors tell them to pass (tax "reform," springs to mind immediately)!

I saw this billboard in south Alabama in 1970. Had to stop and snap a photo. The modification was done to the billboard, not the photo.

Used to go to George Wallace rallies for the redneck entertainment value. I'm proud to say that I was beaten into unconsciousness by Birmingham cops at the Ant-Vietnam War rally that I lead, with proper permits, at the Library downtown. Cops didn't care about no steenkin permits!

I thought the President was not above the law. If this were anyone else, with that many women accusing him, he'd at least get a visit from the police. It seems kind of wrong that there is a film of someones criminal behaviour while that person sits in high office over many others (the whole f'n country!) getting off scott free.

Oh wait, what's that in my sigline?



How did THAT get there?


And it would certainly be tragic if any other DUer wanted to put it in their sigline by copying the following text and removing the dollar signs:

Definitely, horribly tragic.
