He has a trump* sign and 'My Governor is an Idiot' sign (meaning Governor Whitmer) in his front yard. Some of the neighborhood kids decided to use the sidewalk in front of his house as their own message center with a big 'VOTE BLUE' and 'BIDEN/HARRIS' chalked onto the sidewalk.
Well, he got his y-fronts in a twist because he seems to think that public sidewalk is his 'property'. He said he's 'got them on video' and is 'VERY disappointed' in the culprits, implying he knows exactly who they are. He's sharing all of this on the neighborhood FaceBook page.
He's brand new to the subdivision, has the only trump* and anti Whitmer signs in that section, which has LOTS of Biden/Harris signs, and has already pissed off more than a few people in the neighborhood, beyond anything to do with elections.
Admittedly, when his signs went up, my niece went out and got the whole collection of signs for Democratic candidates. Plus signs in the windows. Plus bumper stickers on the cars. I just don't know WHO she learned that kind of behavior from.

Im flying a giant Republicans for Biden flag on one of my properties that has a lot of road traffic past it. Not because I am a Republican by any stretch but because I support Republicans who are voting for Biden and think the flag will have more impact. Also, I know it gets under the skin of the Trump cultists who have to see it every day.

And how they are going to be left holding the biggest bag of excrement in the end with nowhere to hide their loser tattoo they put on their foreheads. They suddenly have anal convulsions at the thought of being known as the Village Idiot by everyone again, instead of their self appointed importance to all.

(26,250 posts)I was lucky to end up in a neighborhood heavily populated with Democrats. There's one trump* sign, two houses up from mine, but I noticed, today, it's been joined by a Biden/Harris and a Kildee sign (Congressman Dan Kildee, MI-05).

(26,250 posts)There are still some trump* signs, but my brother said he's never seen so many signs for Democrats. Well, in the city. The township still leans red.

(38 posts)First of all, tell him that dont go around here. How dare he threaten kiddos!
If hes got city property on the other side of the grass you can technically post signs there. Youd have to buy about ten or twenty of them and just keep them coming each night. Its legal.
Of course being that there are kids involved, the passive aggressive response just isnt safe with these types.

(146,262 posts)In many places, political signs are not allowed in the street right-of-way, which includes those parkways or "boulevards" as they are called here. You have to put such signs inside your own property lines.
Better check on that where you are.

(38 posts)My point though is it isnt HIS property so he cant do anything to you. Hes welcomed to pull them out but he cant get you for trespassing, and so that leaves him powerless.
