Putting the portrait of a man convicted of rape and 34 counts of felony on the walls of a Justice Department is utterly foolish. This government is now wallowing in corruption with no limits or moral compass.

Dear road work crews, why the smeg are you placing "no parking" cones on the *pavement* rather than road??
