"THANK YOU, TRUMP" banners popping up all over DC

https://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-apps/imrs.php?src=&w=1440&impolicy=high_res

My DC attorney daughter reports several guys in her office are planning to piss on as many as they can find.

Few other folks are tracking down the locations of all these.

Be a shame if they all burst into flame at the same time. Or one at a time.

Then, there are always people walking their dogs.

Trump demands gratitude in D.C. So he put up banners thanking himself.
Signs appearing around the capital twist appreciation and patriotism into an authoritarian knot.

"John Johnson, you stand accused of cutting down 150 vinyl banners bearing a photograph of President Trump wearing a hard hat, and the inscription 'Thank You President Trump,' rolling up the banners and stuffing them into garbage cans. How do you plead?"

"Of course I fucking did it!"

"Thank you. I find you guilty, and your sentence will be 50 hours of community service cutting down the rest of them."

"I'm sorry, Your Honor, but I can't perform that community service because when they arrested me I was in the process of cutting down the last one."
