Anyone else feel a similar vibe in these photos? One is from China, 1989. The other is from Broadview Illinois. When I saw the picture on the left, I was immediately reminded of the historic image on the right.

How about I.C.E., Impeach, Convict, Evict. Or something along those lines?

Just watched the Pentagon briefing. How long before someone makes a movie with a title along the lines of 30 Seconds Over Fordo?
