Just what that national disgrace deserves. If ever someone should be locked up for having the audacity to mount an insurrection against our country, let alone the documents and complete reckless disregard for our national security, alternate fake electors scheme, the Georgia 11 thousand and change intimdation of Raffensberger, it's him.

Any idea what those buildings were? I thought one might be the White House, and the other one maybe Inependence Hall, but I couldn't get a good enough look to be sure. They and the mailboxes were definitely cool!

The gray one with the tall tower is our City Hall and I think the other is supposed to be the White House.



The political artwork company that makes these "puppets" is "Spiral Q" - https://www.spiralq.org/

They experienced a terrible disaster when the remnants of Hurricane Ida came through here in 2021 and flooded out their storage warehouse, destroying most of their items. They had gotten a request from the Smithsonian for a donation of one of the mailboxes before the floods, so they did wrap one up and sent it to D.C.



But the other 2 that had been constructed were destroyed in the flooding - https://www.spiralq.org/uncategorized/spiral-q-got-flooded/

Funded by "a secretive network of right wing billionaires and Christian fundamentalist leaders that underwrites and coordinates right wing politics."
https://www.tampabay.com/opinion/2022/07/09/just-who-is-behind-moms-for-liberty-column/

Needed a dozen cops to protect their widdle white asses walking from the bus to the museum.
Hope Philly bills the billionaires funding them for all the police presence.

Thank you, Philadelphia!

you’d think religion would be leading the way AGAINST all this. Instead, religion in too many cases is promoting and excusing intolerance and hatred of our brothers and sisters.

Religion should be where the solutions are, and where the peace and love are, and not where the evil is.
