    The White House confirmed the removal, telling AP in a statement that the vigil was a “hazard to those visiting the White House and the surrounding areas.”

    I deeply loathe these fascists and their bullshit. How many people did this “hazard” hurt in its 40 years of existence?

    "He said that it was rat-infested. Not a single rat came out as they took down the cinder blocks.”

    There were plenty of rats, you just can’t see them in the photos because they were busy receiving orders from the rat-fucker (or is that rugrat-fucker?) in the Oval Office.

    “The vigil was started in 1981 by activist William Thomas to promote nuclear disarmament and an end to global conflicts.”

    And people wonder why I say protests like this are purely performative.

    44 years. 7 Presidents. 11 Presidential elections.

    How we doing with that “end to global conflicts”?
