Problem: I suspect "Liberty" is probably too old for him.

For the definitive, funny, mis-take on marijuana, look for the old ('40s ?) film "Reefer Madness." Best watched with like minded friends and relatives.
If I had a dime for every time I murdered a friend after taking just one "toke" of weed . . .

How about REPUBLICANT ?
TPUBLICAN is perfect if the "T" stands for TRAITOR.

And once more, the G (guardians) O (of) P (pedophiles) evade their duty.
This is not just a current political issue. Charging & punishing these particular perpetrators is vital to keeping the fight against the ongoing abuse & killing of women & children by men in the spotlight. "Me Too" was only a start.

Sorry, don't know who created this, but it gave me a chuckle.

Too often merciless cruelty to "them" is considered super-masculine. He is "doing to them" what those followers would like to do.

I can't be the only one who has wondered if those "beauty contests" weren't IN FACT the hunting grounds for Epstein.
Release all of the names.

Victim/Survivors who do not want their names involved are referenced by Jane/John Doe1-2-3 etc.

RELEASE ALL OF THE NAMES
NO MATTER WHO

Cruelty is a mainstay of this administration.
Oh my God!! This has to stop! This is not who we are! Sickening!
Immigrant children now sleep on the floor, huddling for warmth

Every child... we mean every child must be safe
Let them go
This is cruelty

Illustration from "A Farm Called Someday" (free promo on Amazon). Tenant farm house where Dad worked & we lived, had no plumbing or electricity -- out house, cook stove, and kerosene lamps. My sister kept door open and helped me button my underpants.

I suspect that Trump envies George Washing the 100 slaves that Washington owned.

Looks like the bone spurs have healed or possibly moved to his empty cranium.

These women have the guts to tell what happened to them. Shame on those who won't back them and open the Epstein files.
Epstein survivors just dropped a powerful message for Congress, and it hits like a warning: no more waiting, the truth is coming, ready or not.

Watch till the end

Growing up there were 3 local conservative religious groups who forbid going to movies, but having a TV was ok.
