Can Congress put up a poison pill...either order them to show Trump’s face or strip them of funding?

The 2017 card looks much, much better than the 2013 card.

Good. It’s not about Trump. It’s about the USA. It’s about every person doing their part to MAGA.

OK, so that's one vote for "it's not about liberal pettiness and spite". Thanks for voting.

They even had one ready for Romney. Bubba and Gore were at least listed. Bush 2005 - nothing. In unrelated news, DC went 91% for HRC.
