Let's talk candidates for artists of Presidential Portraits!

Apparently, American Presidents typically commission two portraits after they leave office; one will hang in the National Portrait Gallery, and another will hang in the White House.
How anti-democratic! Shouldn't the choice of artist be put up for a vote? For fun, take a few minutes to consider which artist YOU would like to see given the commission to do Trump's portraits. Myself, I would to see the honor go to Illma Gore, the artist who was banned from Facebook for her nude Trump painting:

I wish we had video of Giuliani trying to evade being served!

Dominion representatives had a little trouble serving Rudy with Their 1.3 billion dollar lawsuit. They should have learned from Sasha Baron Cohen - just have a young blonde girl serve him the papers while he's 'tucking his shirt'!

Death don't have no mercy; neither do I

I heard about Limbaugh's death after a long battle with lung cancer. I thought back to last week, when I read about a religious liberty law that was passed in Arkansas, that allowed pharmacists and nursing homes to deny services if it conflicted with their religious beliefs. Rush would have been proud.
Too bad Doctors couldn't refuse to treat him, based on their religious beliefs that they shouldn't try to save the life of an evil bastard.

Just something to amuse myself

I was looking up some info about Al Capone, and noticed that with a few tweaks, it could describe another public figure.

"Capone (Donald Trump) expanded the bootlegging business (Presidential powers) through increasingly violent means, but his mutually profitable relationships with mayor William Hale Thompson (Attorney General William Barr) and the city's police (GOP-controlled Senate) meant he seemed safe from law enforcement."

"Capone (Donald Trump) apparently reveled in attention, such as the cheers from spectators when he appeared at ball games (well, he got booed). He made donations to various charities (Stormy Daniels?) and was viewed by many as a "modern-day Robin Hood" ("President For Life&quot . However, the Saint Valentine's Day Massacre (Capitol Insurrection), in which seven gang rivals (a Capitol Law Enforcement Officer) were murdered in broad daylight, damaged the public image of Chicago and Capone (the GOP and Donald Trump), leading influential citizens (House Democrats) to demand government action and newspapers to dub Capone (Donald Trump) "Public Enemy No.1" (Only President with 2nd Impeachment)"
