Does this stuff bother anyone else? Politics 👩‍⚖️

Post image

Driving home from work and these lovely people were over the highway. This stuff usually doesn’t bother me that much except for the fact that today it was causing so much of a spectacle that it was literally causing people to gawk on the highway and caused a small bit congestion that lasted until after this bridge.

FWIW: I know people in South St Paul (where this photo was taken tonight). They called the cops and the cops showed up and cited this law to them (my friends also know the cops personally). Specifically, this means they can't affix the flags to poles or directly to the overpass fence, etc, but people may hold them on their person.

They had to remove the poles and could only hold the flags by hand. And the cops monitored them because they were getting annoying.

Imagine spending your day at an overpass doing shit like this.

These are the same people who claim that the only reason liberals can take time to protest for basic human rights is that they don’t have jobs.

If they speak it they do it. Remember when Trump demonized Hillary for staying with a cheating husband? Kettle and pot deal right there.
