as souvenirs, or, more importantly, to analyze to determine who fucked up and how. Maybe there should have been some kind of primer, and those paint chunks would show whether or not there was any.

just for touching it. Trump will probably label him a terrorist slash anti-fascist slash anarchist, out to destroy our 'family values' slash 'purity of essence' - or some bs nonsense.

We laugh at the utter FUBAR absurdity of all the crap shitstain does on a daily basis, and with reason. But this kind of gestapo crap, arresting someone and accusing them of terrorism or whatever, is really vile and dangerous 🤬

All this spectacle and money spent to prop up trump’s lie that the algae in the reflecting pool is a result of far left sabotage. We have a president who is so weak, his ego so fragile, that he can’t stop himself from trying to cover up his incompetence and embarrassment by peddling an alternate reality. The tarp over the front of the Kennedy Center is another example. He is a walking personality disorder.

The problem isn't the drone strike. It's the news about the drone strukes.
The problem isn't the poorly executed paint job of the pool. It's the fact that people can see it.
