1. Kicked!

2. Yeah baby.

Lady Liberty being loud and proud!

3. Well, that WAS what Lady Liberty was supposed to represent, after all.

5. Exactly

Isn't there a statement on there that basically says the same thing in more flowery language?

Only in this crazy time would a banner that just re-states the symbolic message of that great statue, be regarded as radical and subversive.

7. Yeah!

Or, has someone taken a jackhammer to the plaque containing "The New Colossus."

4. "Bring me your white, your rich, your Christian masses/yearning to escape brown people"

"Let these, the winners, not losers, OK?
Barricade themselves in various resort communities
Many of them really, really great
With golf courses and the Trump name on them.
I lift my lamp beside the Great Wall
That Mexico may not pay for after all."
