front yard of a trumpster with money

[rustbeltvoice]

Cleveland's paper of record went all scab, and now the teevee stations cover a story, and they then send someone out to get pictures.

Rocky River is a well to do west side suburb. Lake Road has some mansions on it. This display is like an abandoned section of an amusement park, crossed with a mad resident living in a trailer.

1. I predict 6 months from now..

You’ll be hard pressed to find anyone willing to cop to supporting Trump. Even if you have photographic evidence like this.

2. Sometimes you have trailer trash living in mansions....

At least these folks are looking out for their own perceived best interests, the ones in the trailers are just fools.

3. Do people really think this makes a difference?

Seriously, does festooning your yard with one or ten or 100 yard signs make a difference? My guess is - not a chance.

5. It tells you one thing Trump supporters will vote, they are even more

motivated than in 2016. Don't count him out.

11. Who's counting him out?

The question is - does one rich guys absurd political display change anyone’s vote? I say no.

4. Every single trumphumper is out of their minds.

6. I predict a Gavlebocken ending for this.

Gavlebocken, we hardly knew ye. Truly. ... Every year for Advent, the town of Gavle, Sweden, builds a giant Christmas goat out of straw. And every year, arsonists do their best to bring it down. ... This time, despite high-tech cameras and two security guards, the goat didn't even last a full 24 hours.

The Gavlebocken was set up on Sunday afternoon. The Local reports that this year's statue, and the associated marketing and festivities, cost about a quarter of a million dollars.

This year, it's the 50th anniversary of the Gavlebocken, so it was a birthday celebration as well as the standard-practice yuletime goat-statue festival.

"But by 11 p.m.," The Local writes, "it was engulfed in flames."

9. It would be sweetly poetic. n/t

7. Wonder how many food insecure families they could have fed with that wasted money? nt

8. Not exactly building houses for Habitat for Humanity, is it?

All that energy and effort, wasted on paying homage to a shitty dictator-wannabe.

Of course, someone who does crazy shit like this wouldn’t lift a finger in service to others: “Let those *bleep* build their OWN houses, blah blah, etc.”

The loss of a sense of community and common purpose is killing this country. Look no further than Trumpers’ response to Covid and mask-wearing. With them, it’s all “me, me, ME.”

10. How long before it takes damage?

Democrats: gentle

Republicans: looking up the word.

ENOUGH with the malarkey!

Worst person ever nominee running for re-election, that's just swell.

12. Someone is desperate to find a way to collect an insurance claim.

I hope they investigate very careful. Because I think he is going to set it and his house on fire and try to blame Biden supporters.
