That's almost "Dogs Playing Poker" bad. I can see why the Whore likes it. It perpetuates the fiction that he's "arrived" and is one of the club.
 
Looks like the artist specifically wants the woman in the backgrounds identity to be a secret. From his webpage: https://andythomas.com/product/the-republican-club/

Who could that female be walking directly to the table? One can only guess.

So take that how ever you want it. Kind of reads like he means it to be a future female Republican President "walking up to the table to join" kinda thing.
 
I'm not sure, but it appears there is 3-4 white lines between Lincoln and Nixon's drink.
Is that supposed to be significant?

Obviously no Jackie. And "background" is where the party thinks women belong.

Like I said I looked into the guy who actually did the painting and... look I'm not saying he has the most nuanced grasp of American politics but his heart seems to be in the right place. The same generic "background" woman is in the back of equivalent painting he did for the Democrats and according to him is meant to represent the first female American President, walking up to the table to take her place and... I won't hate on him for that.

Yeah it's a smaltzy, saccharine piece of novelty pop art. But I don't think the guy seems to be deserving of having either particular parties most unpleasant aspects assigned to him.

Certainly fits in with Republican morality... women are second class citizens who don't really matter so no need to identify them.

I wonder why they didn't show Trump trying to grab her by the pussy. I heard they let you do it.

At least he's better than Jon McNaughton.

Trump leads Saudi PR lies to protect the leadership. That has to be causing a bit of tension among Trumpists. His base are unlikely to be big fans of the relationship of convinience with that country.

You might want to re-think that. Rubio did.

Of course he did it with the usual tap dance.
I don't think we should continue as business as usual," Rubio said. "As far as arms sales, I would not have said it the way that the president said it. Arms sales are important not just because of the money but also because it also provides leverage over their future behavior. They'll need our spare parts, they'll need our training and those are things we can use to influence their behavior.

The base will eat up whatever Trump feeds them.

I get more of a Jackie vibe, but it could just as easily just be a generic "background" woman.

Yeah, I was getting a "Jackie vibe" too but that would be heresy. A democratic first lady in "The Republican Club"!!!

Though as a 40 year republican myself, I won't mind her there a bit.

It's really like those ridiculous paintings that show Elvis, Marilyn, James Dean and Humphrey Bogart together.
