@everyone should I emphasize the flag a bit more?

@mystery-ak looks like it’s not quite fitting. How much is it off by?

Do we get a "re-vote" on the poll now that the banner has been updated?   :pondering:

The "Poll Starter has" the option to re-start, wipe the slate clean.  But in my experience it is like getting corbe off weed.  Best to just start a new one.

This one a 6.5/10 .... Previous one 7.5/10

Note: Anything above a 5 is good for me. I tend to be snobby in ranking things.

P.S. I looked around for a good Reagan photo and having got nowhere fast, I have decided I ain't qualified for doing half as good a job as the ones yall have made. Carry on.

Well, considering the last one was simply a design I threw together on a lark and it got put up as the main banner without so much as a discussion... I'll say that the thorough back-and-forth with regard to its replacement is an improvement in and of itself. Even if I was never asked.

There's lots of photos, images, and paintings of Reagan on the web from his western movie star days and working around his ranch.  I like this one;

aka "nasty degenerate SOB," "worst of the worst at Free Republic," "Garbage Troll," "Neocon Warmonger," "Filthy Piece of Trash," "damn $#%$#@!," "Silly f'er," "POS," "war pig," "neocon scumbag," "insignificant little ankle nipper," "@ss-clown," "neocuck," "termite," "Uniparty Deep stater," "Never Trump sack of dog feces," "avid Bidenista," "filthy Ukrainian," "war whore," "fricking chump," "psychopathic POS," "depraved SOB," "Never Trump Moron," "Lazarus," "sock puppet," and "Timber Bunny."
