Another is just to the left of Donny Doll Hands, wearing a bright blue shirt. Interestingly, both are male.

Maybe a bit smaller percentage of women in their future than the picture shows. This aspect will be the final blow to Republicans.

It was a NRA, heritage and other right wing organization, all these young white women attended. The reporter asked them about women's reproductive rights being affected and they shrugged their shoulders!

The poor girls felt discriminated against because they are conservatives!!!! The gross hypocrisy was sick.

2. Second person to shitgibbin's right.

I found the Asian! He's under Washington's portrait, 3rd row from the back. He's wearing a red bowtie.

Look very close in the center... you'll see a large member of the Caucorange race. You haven't heard of them? They are denotable orange skinned with thinning hair (grown long to cover balding heads) and very tiny hands.

99 44/100 Ivory Soap Pure White.

Some of them used to call me queerbait and beat me bloody. That started in middle school. I'll bet there are a few bullies in that crowd too, not just trump.

Damn, this photo reminds me again that one of the best decisions I've ever made was quitting high school for college. I'm sure there were a few bullies in college too, but as adults most of them knew that beating up a minor could land them in jail and the records wouldn't be sealed.

Sure, it's possible a few of the kids in that photo always had aspirations of being White House Interns and the timing was simply unfortunate.

My own kids have a few achievement certificates "signed" by George W. Bush and they've always laughed about that.
