The Walls Are Closing In on Trump
...The Fox and Trump media enterprise today launched into a spasm of complete ecstasy as the House Intelligence Committee declared their investigation of Russian interference in our elections and their contacts with and collaboration with the Trump campaign over, done, solved. In their alternate reality, theyre declaring the CASE CLOSED.
They might not want to get too far over their skis on this one because both the Senate and Bob Mueller are still taking this question seriously, as opposed to the clownish covering of Donald Trumps ample ass by the Republicans on the House Intel Committee. Its chairman Devin Nunes and the committee itself are both hopelessly compromised. Nunes has done everything in his power to cover for the President, his staff, and their Russian contacts, and to elide Vladimir Putins stated intent and obvious actions....
House Intelligence is now officially an oxymoron. Nunes investigation has been an example of Washington at its worst, a pure exercise in protecting Donald Trump, and a low point for the Republican Partys reputation as the party of national security. The committee refused to interview key players in the drama, failed to seek campaign, government, intelligence community and corporate records that would have led to places that Team Trump doesnt want them to go.
In fact, this White House has refused to even recognize Putins global special warfare operations against us exist, much less to take a stand against them. Trump continues to behave toward Putin like a preacher caught in a whorehouse; cowed, compliant, and terrified of his prospective blackmailer. Putins ongoing attempts to divide and influence the American political system arent speculation, imagination, or some Soros-driven conspiracy. His anti-American propaganda campaign is still in full swing, and the only upside is hes not murdering people here quite yet, though if I were Paul Manafort Id cut the deal and get into witness protection now.

2018 updated version. I am sick and disgusted. Tomorrow I take my disgust out on the moron in chief and his fucking wall prototypes in San Diego. My sign is Pink Floyd's The Wall album cover with the moron's eyes looking through a space where there is no brick. My fingers are stained with orange from the pastels used to color his "natural tan".

Would love to see the finished product.

It is frustrating. Someone did this for me...my bumper sticker I made. My sign says NO WALLS! and just his mean squid by eyes with big bags and tan lines around them and his big bushy wellow/white eyebrow.

(8,360 posts)4. I get the idea, sounds like a catching sign.
Enjoy making more art!
