Glad you're here! That cover kinda says it all, doesn't it! VERY nicely-done artwork. Should be a poster. I wonder if The Nation people will offer it? They absolutely should!

If you're not for HRC, you're for Trump.

Glad they made it so clear, and in such a visual fashion.

If it would be posted in every Walmart, Chick-fil-A and gun shop maybe it would open some eyes.

...and for my first official post here, I wanted to thank you all for the kind words!

I hope this will be shared far and wide... it's done well on Twitter (over 600 RT) and my FaceBook page (over 500 shares)...
but the issue is only coming out the next day or so...

I've received a lot of suggestions for words I should have used... but I just went with the ones I thought of or made sense to me at the time I created it. (pretty cathartic experience, to say the least... ha ha)

Cheers!

very cathartic. I just typed some of the words to get it out of my system for the day. He's such a monster, I can't even enjoy the election process like I do because it's so perverted from him, way above and beyond the normal stupidity of the GOP.

You are very talented!

I've seen it several times on twitter already.

What a clever use of that whole "word cloud" concept and your choice of words was nothing short of brilliant.

I hope you're patting yourself on the back--getting a magazine cover is a wonderful achievement, getting one ahead of a national election is better still, and you hit that one outta the park!

Welcome to DU--we're a community of political enthusiasts committed to electing more Democrats (and fewer Republicans) to public office--your cover art will help!

If you use the back arrow, it takes you to a game.

In other words, when you go to the link, it starts putting up the game page and then switches very quickly to the real page so you don't notice until you use the back button.

I do not like websites that use underhanded tactics like that.
