If it nets a couple dozen R-\>D flips in Congress, then yes, by all means, do it. Do it hard.

I took one for the team - I think it’s tons of mascara on false eyelashes hitting just below her eyebrows, creating new ‘eyebrows’.

Maybelline would be proud.

Looks that way, doesn’t it?

It looks like the skin crease at the top of her eye socket, combined with lighting, gave this illusion.

That’s what it looks like – cavernous eye sockets made more apparent with makeup/lighting.

Tommy Tumorville (Shitstain-AL) Just a rundown on his “accomplishments”, politics, and world view. While nominated here for “worst Senator”; that title is seriously challenged by a dozen or more of his co-conspirators.

It is a resolution, not a bill, so it would not have legal weight. They are just irked that other states have been striking him from the ballot.
