This little guy has been with us 10 years. He's a joy--except when he is prowling around the kitchen for handouts, or on a walk--he wayyy overreacts to dogs and people. He's basically a self-assured drama queen on walks. And yes, he's male. But overall a great companion.

It's a classic propaganda ploy....take the people who are believed/familiar to by the masses (GOP) and put them in positions of power...no one (GOP) will question what they do....

We had an official complaint from a lovely gentleman about this billboard. He claimed he'd seen it in a station and was absolutely disgusted and demanded it be taken down. We explained it was never up. Sometimes the complaints will be false.

The only legitimate judicial response to challenges to birthright citizenship is “what, are you kidding, it’s in the Constitution.”
Though that also was the only possible legitimate response to claims that the president is above the law and cannot face punishment for crimes he definitely committed.
