"Or maybe these two pictures aren't of the same place." (Devin Fucking Nunes)

Devestating. Vandals destroyed this “mobile home”; tore out an entire row of trees; and built a multitude of large signs just to mess with Devin.

Or maybe these two pictures aren’t of the same place.

Voter suppression and intimidation in motion. Mobile home with my sign on it was set on fire last night. No one was injured thankfully

The right side of the alleged "before" photo is also conveniently cut off, so we can't see whether or not there is a light post and the other structure.

"checkered" edge to the porch.

Is arson suspected because it had a political sign? That place looked like a fire trap anyway. Could have been electrical or gas or some other common reason trailers burn up.

gullies on the right. A fire doesn't dig up holes and make the front yard all uneven.

where the foreground vegetation stops, and faced 30 degrees more to the right. It's easier to see if you go to Twitter, which gives the full size pictures if you click on them. The uneven ground was mostly underneath the trailer.

The unique brand of political vandalism that has arrived in the central San Joaquin Valley has taken fiery to a new level.

One day removed from a repeat arson on a Dinuba haystack featuring signs for Rep. Devin Nunes (R–Tulare) and President Donald Trump, vandals set fire to a different property, this time in Kingsburg.

Trees were on both sides behind the mobile home in the first picture. Letters in his name are white on black in first picture and light blue on dark blue in second picture. Light poles and electric line missing in second picture.
