"War is Not the Answer" bumpersticker from those forlorn days, but I now feel particularly vindicated, given that we lost in both Afghanistan and Iraq. Last vandalism occurred in 2005-06, before Dems took back the House.

And, in the case of political speech, which this window decal is, there's a 1st Amendment issue involved.

If there's a child over the age of 6 who hasn't heard that word before or said it, I'd be surprised, frankly. It was very popular on the playground when I was in the first grade, way back in 1951. There was even a common joke that included it.

There is not a government in the nation that allows public printed obscenities because that involves the rights of others.

that if someone disagrees with 'our president' or doesn't like him, they are willing to simply kill that person. Trump supporters, or deplorables, are stupid, ignorant, mean and heavily armed. I have a feeling that if the rest of the government takes action to bring Trump the justice he so richly deserves, our military will have to prove its loyalty to the Constitution and the nation by standing against these hate-militias.
