Bah humbug, eh E\_P? I hope not. I hope it’s so widely disseminated even Ukrainian schoolchildren hiding in frigid basements while the missiles scream overhead are provided with a bit of humor. Instantaneous international laughingstock. How can any Republican take him seriously after this? I wanna see Lindsey Graham try. ---

There’s no copyright mark on the cards and it took about 5 seconds to pull them into Photoshop so I don’t get what he’s selling. The real market may be the humorous rip offs that are surely being created at this moment. ---
