Trump cheats at golf - the ONE and ONLY politics thread

Just before 11 a.m. Eastern Time yesterday, about 40 people spread across five cities – Seattle, New York, San Francisco, Cleveland and Los Angeles – arrived at their predetermined spots to pull off an artistic protest of the Republican presidential nominee that would shock, horrify and endlessly amuse the general public. They'd practiced exactly what to do. Some of the crew would be on documentation, from installation to reaction to the inevitable moment when cops would come and attempt to drag the giant, naked statues of Donald Trump away, while others were ready to actually erect the grotesque entity. At exactly 11 in each city – 8 a.m. on the West Coast – two people dressed as construction workers carried out a 6-foot-5, 80-pound object under a blue tarp, brushed away detritus from the ground, spread a thin layer of fast-acting, industrial-strength epoxy, held the object upright for a matter of seconds, and walked away, disappearing into the gathering crowds.

Across the country, the protest went off without a hitch. "The one thing I knew we could count on was that once the tarp came off, it would create so much mayhem that the easiest part was actually going to be walking away," says a spokesperson for Indecline, the anarchist collective behind the statues, an effort they titled "The Emperor Has No Balls." His phone is buzzing continuously; he's been inundated with interview requests since it came out that his crew was behind the statues. In the 15 years they've been active, the Indecline crew has mostly stuck to graffiti and murals – like one last fall where they painted "Rape Trump" on a fence at the U.S.-Mexico border following his comments about immigrants – but this year, as Donald Trump careened from a "laughable piece of shit" (as Indecline puts it) to a terrifyingly real presidential possibility, they knew they had to do something more shocking. So they canceled something they had planned in Flint, Michigan, in protest of the town's elevated lead levels, instead focusing on a country-wide anti-Trump action.

Michele Bachmann: I'm advising Trump on foreign policy

 

Two years later this is still the best Trump tweet. I have to think this is what will be carved in granite in the entrance to his memorial someday, which I assume will be built next to the Washington Monument, but taller and painted with a thin layer of gold.

 

Geez, glad he didn't add the syllable "tard" to that f word. But that would be within character.

 

No it's not. We dispute your witless screeds all the time.

 

Trump's presidential library will be the best.
