Highmores 50th annual Settlers Day is just a wonderful time to get together and come back home, Mayor Vikki Day said, but an interesting float at this years parade is giving some folks palpitations.
I had to think about it with the mask of Obama, coming out as racist, Jeff Damer, creator of the controversial float, told KSFY. I just wanted to put it out there, it was just my view that they should be charged, Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton.
The float featured a trailer with two people inside a cage wearing Obama and Clinton masks, the word Guantanamo spray-painted on a sign above. Another man wearing a President Trump mask stood outside the cell next to a makeshift wall with the words Build the Wall.
The trailer was ringed with numerous American flags, and featured Trump Make America Great Again flags flying from the rear gate.
Day told the news site the city received a lot of calls and messages from people complaining about the float, but officials dont regret allowing Damer to participate in the parade.

Many are of the opinion that show trials against Obama-era officials and other Democrats - the kind one sees in Argentina - could 'never happen' here.
I'm not so sure.

While that sort of life appeals to me, believe i'd be a bit more careful in where I want to live next, as to live next to idiots who buy into whatever lie Hairplug Himmler is selling them next.

(81,386 posts)Harry Miller was paid as much as $1,000 by the Russians to build a cage that was used to depict a person dressed as Hillary Clinton in a prison cell at a rally in West Palm Beach, Florida in August 2016.
The stunt was part of an elaborate scheme run by the Internet Research Agency, a troll group in St Petersburg, Russia with links to the Kremlin, that was designed to undermine the American political system, according to a new federal indictment. The agency and thirteen Russian nationals associated with it were named in the indictment, which was made public by Special Counsel Robert Mueller's office on Friday.
In early August 2016, the indictment says, the Internet Research Agency began reaching out to Trump supporters in Florida to organize a statewide "flashmob" that it dubbed "Florida goes Trump."
