I was driving around yesterday and I passed by one, and they've now devolved into selling "F**k Biden" merchandise, complete with t-shirts that have some very violent and offensive slogans on them. Yes this is a thing that exists. And they are hurling obscenities on fairly heavily trafficked street corners. It's totally disgusting. Yes, I know it's meant to be offensive and we fall for it, but this is truly horrid and beyond the pale. But I can't help but keep wondering - where is this shit coming from? And who's sponsoring these booths? What is their purpose? And also - how is this sort of thing even allowed or tolerated by the city?

Send it off to the licensing dept in you local.

(7,324 posts)something can be done to stop the foul laguage, I mean come on there are children around and women.
Can a person sue them in some way for exposing your child to this profanity ?

(31,996 posts)Have a huge banner on their house that says FUCK BIDEN, its on a busy road travelled all the time by school buses. People have complained, but the police say its free speech and theres nothing they can do. I agree its beyond the pale. These types seem proud of their vile and disgusting language.

(7,413 posts)They like apparel with four-letter words in big bold English alphabet letters. They just like the look. The more profane, the better. And what's more profane than MAGA?
We do the same thing with Kanji.

(16,168 posts)sporting a blue line flag and one of the f... biden flags on the street the other day. they were on one of those tall 1980 models and the guy driving looked like a character out of duck dynasty.
Next time I saw that truck it was on a flat bed tow trailer.
Can't imagine why.....
this was west coast of floriduh.
I asked my wife, "If I put the words ""SLOW THE FUCK DOWN" on the rear window of my truck, would that be ok?"

(33,140 posts)Now they gotta have flags. Bigger and bigger because there's fewer and fewer of them.
It goes to show they never cared for the former guy nearly as much as they hate other Americans.
Such hatred.
Do they honestly think if there were the vast international conspiracy against them such horseshit would make it to the curb?
There's a stand in the parking lot of a local establishment I used to frequent quite often in pre-COVID times. They are always careful to set them up on private property. I'm going to practice some cancellation culture on, henceforth. Once I finish my government vaccines.
