Presidential Homage of the Day: Ronald Reagan Riding a Velociraptor

"Mr. Gorbachev, I tore down that wall" The famous speech President Ronald Reagan gave after he destroyed the berlin wall. He rode he most trusty steed into battle...a raptor which he had the CIA clone for such an occasion.

Hey, nobody said artists have to actually know something about history, palentology, or Ronald Reagan. Especially deviant artists.

A rather preposterous image. I can't imagine Ronnie wielding what appears to be a Soviet RPG.

I like it. I'm not sure what that says about modern culture and its almost total disconnect from reality, or about my own state of mind, but there you go.

Yes it is a bit disturbing but, as I indicated, I think it is because the artist knows almost nothing about Reagan other th an his name and job.

Well, if I could picture any President riding a velociraptor, it would be Reagan.

Oh, he knows. HE. KNOWS. His parents probably voted for him. They sit around the dinner table bitching every night and reminiscing about Reagan's 'badassliness', to borrow a term from the commenters there. Probably heard this since the Clinton Era.
