They’re like cockroaches and fire ants - they get exposed and their numbers are reduced somewhat. But, they scatter into new hiding places, then rebuild their colonies to do ever more damage.

and engage in a real-life game of whack-a-mole. ;-)

Justice would be hanging ACORN leadership and those legislators who facilitated them by the neck until dead... in public.

Someone has to give out all that government money to the people the Democraps want to vote for them.

I don’t see this organization going away no matter what happens to current entities. Some may fold and will be replaced by a unit with another name.

Other units will continue on under the same name in certain areas where they are still solvent.

I may be partially wrong, but I don’t think I’m far off base.
