... of whites only power and authority that was pierced with Obama.

Remember even the signs of non-white culture in the government was 3 days of FAUX News like when the GSA was dancing a popular black line dance.

By Bill D. Moyers, November 13, 1988

WHILE Lyndon Baines Johnson was a man of time and place, he felt the bitter paradox of both. I was a young man on his staff in 1960 when he gave me a vivid account of that southern schizophrenia he understood and feared. We were in Tennessee. During the motorcade, he spotted some ugly racial epithets scrawled on signs. Late that night in the hotel, when the local dignitaries had finished the last bottles of bourbon and branch water and departed, he started talking about those signs. "I'll tell you what's at the bottom of it," he said. "If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you."

You must be bigger than me. That stuff would probably disappear in my neighborhood.

6. Yeah.. In the fancy-assed neighborhood two up from me which ran 12:2 Biden to Trump yard signs

and of the two Trump houses, one was intensely ostentatious with three large signs in the yard and another in windows, I note the following:

Every single Biden-Harris sign taken down except for some really nice signs like "Make America Kind Again" or the multiple line signs that display classic American values of INCLUSION. That includes the home across the street that had borne a single Biden-Harris sign to counter the multi-Trump sign house.

The day after the election was called for Biden, the one Trump household with only one sign had largely "disappeared" the sign behind bushes.

The aforementioned ostentatious (obnoxious) household, the one you see immediately upon entering the neighborhood, has his three large signs still up in the yard BUT has taken down his Corey Gardner sign.




It is though the latter household wants to be forever known as the a'holes of that neighborhood. I suspect their fellow residents will long remember.

10. My Trump neighbor was warned by the Parking Patrol

Last year about parking his old truck in front of my house during the winter months for well over 2 months without moving it. Back again so my lawn guy had to blow leaves under his truck to get them to the curb. He has a 2 car garage 2 care driveway and empty spaces in front of his house.
But he did take his sign down.
