What a bunch of “subtle” idiots. I doubt the Iraq map was put there mistakenly... or they automatically attach an Iraq map, each time the word “severed head” is used.

LOL!

I’m glad Texas severed its relationship with Mexico in 1836.

Mexico is becoming worse than so-called “Palestine”, Iraq, Darfur or Indonesia. And we want 20-40 million ‘refugees’ from this hell-hole invading our country? Huh?!!

I believe the political term for severing the head is a “total recall”.

Inadequate circulation?
