Actually, American did think, quite sincerely, but without a truly viable candidate, they picked the lesser evil.

Time you got over that fact, I'da thunk.

Well, sure, and I support the right to buy and sell that trash. I've sold about 100 prints (at $25 a pop) my own damn self. Does that give me a right to hang one in the US Capitol, though, ya think?

Poll: Trump’s Favorability Rating Improves Significantly Before Inauguration Day
JANUARY 5, 2017 BY RICHARD D. BARIS


Trump's Image Recovers Among Whites, Gains Among Minorities in Latest PPD Poll


President-elect Donald J. Trump’s favorability rating has risen above the 50-percent majority threshold ahead of Inauguration Day on Friday, January 20, 2017. The gain was fueled by his image among whites recovering to levels measured the prior week, as well as what has been a steady and continued improvement on the margins among minorities.

The PPD Poll, which conducted the most accurate surveys in 2016 on both the national and statewide level, finds 52% of likely voters now view the New York businessman favorably, while 40% continue to hold an unfavorable view of him.

The same as Obama, according to some polls, anyway.

@McGentrix,
Don't get me wrong--I'm all for them insisting on hanging their painting, just so the true nature of their loyalties will be exposed to all.

But I don't think they should be allowed to do so without strong objection. Just turning your head and tacitly approving on the grounds that it is "art," don't fly with me. That's not the way I roll.

"They" being these Democratic congressmen, of course. I still wouldn't agree that there is a "citizens'" right to hang anything kind of display you want in federal buildings, if you just call it "art," though.

@layman,
What I'd like best though, is too see the two parties get into a full-blown street brawl, with the Dems trying to hang the filth, and the Republicans tearing the thing back down again, until the brass knuckles came out and a full-scale rumble ensued.

That would, like, ROCK, eh!?

My money wouldn't be on the candyass libs, I can tellya that.

I can see it now....Trey Gowdy givin a hard right cross to Nancy Pelosi, and ****!

My lady love was sending updates during the day on the results.

I'll admit to being quite surprised that the oligarchs totally fucked this one up.

Art is subjective though. Who are you to determine good art from bad? What qualifications do you have to tell anyone what is good art and what is bad art? Because it offends you? Because the subject matter is offensive to you?

Imagine that instead, it was a sculpture of the 10 commandments and someone wanted it placed in the Capitol, would you have the same reaction? What about a Monet, Dali or Picasso? What about Mapplethorpe or Serrano?

If you are going to have any art, you need to be able to accept all art. No one gets to decide if something is good or bad art. They only get to decide if they like it or not.

I am sorry we disagree on this. I see freedom as being able to do as I wish within the bounds of the law (though it pisses me off a tad I have to add that addendum so as to avoid the BS about doing something illegal...) just as everyone else should.

@McGentrix,
I believe you are trying very hard to make a point of at best very questionable merit. You should back off from it. The capitol building is the seat of the national government. There's a good deal of art there, both statuary and paintings, but all of it evokes the best aspirations of the country, its founders and our traditions. It is not a private art gallery where anyone can display his art or propaganda, as you foolishly suggest.

The painting hung there in defiance of the rules of the legislature is of no partiucular artistic merit, and instead was quite obviously put there as a very partisan political statement by advocates apparently interested in furthering public discord regarding crime and police enforcement. The message it conveys is offensive to both our values and to proplee involved in the envorcement of the law. It has no place in our Capitol.
