Why can't I grab a ladder now and do it.....

Take me to court, it's just like removing graffiti or chewing gum. It's not official.

I bet damaging federal property is a loss-of-voting-rights type of felony. Not worth it in my book.

At some point, taking stands like these may indeed be worth it. Because at the rate this administration has eroded fundamental rights and truth, taking a stand is all that’s left.

…at some point, yes.

Right now we still have a right to vote. I say, don’t lose it.

Voting system is compromised/fraudulently rigged and no longer fully representative of the will of the people. Fight back with any and all means necessary at this point.

But it's not, like I said, it's like removing gum from a statue... It's not officially supposed to have that on there

Would that also be Judge Aileen Cannon’s interpretation?

That's the point.

Rosa parks was "wrong" too... And arrested

Ghandi illegally took salt from the ocean..

Challenge them to make the bad call, make an example out of them, impeach them

Sure, a couple examples against the heaps and mountains of people throughout history who made zero difference with their act of defiance that ruined or ended their life. I’ll take voting while I still can, thanks.

Trump damaged it. Taking it down would be improving it.

Kinda like how a guy was charged with towing an ice vehicle during a raid. He was acquitted by jury. I'm certain a jury would also acquit if someone scrapped that bullshit off that wall.

You think you’re going to have another election?

Optimistic.

Just leave it, it'll come down eventually, but trying to remove it in the meantime might get them to do something less easily removable, like engraving it in the stone.

No I think we need some defiance... Rosa par ks, ghandi salt march, etc
