A controversial political sign that is currently standing in Shohola will continue to do so for the time being. The sign is located on a property alongside U.S. Route 6.

The sign has been put up to show support for President Donald Trump’s re-election efforts in the 2020 Presidential Election. What makes the sign controversial is that it uses an expletive in its phrasing. […]

The sign was a topic on the agenda for the Shohola Township meeting that occurred on the night of Thursday, August 13. Supervisors for the township say that they have been inundated with complaints about the sign, mostly having to do with the profane nature of the language that is on it.

The sign, which is mounted high above the road, says “Trump 2020 **** Your Feelings.”

Despite members of the public wanting the township to step in and have the sign taken down, the supervisors say that there isn’t much they can do about it. Township Solicitor Jason Ohliger said that despite the offensiveness of the sign’s language, it is legally protected by the United States Constitution. …

Whoever posted that sign using filthy language has the same mentality as antifa and BLM.

Township Solicitor Jason Ohliger has just publicly given everyone free reign to post billboards of him sodomizing farm animals. It’s free speech you know.

The old “avert your eyes” answer from the courts.

Thanks for nothing, your honor.

No. What makes the sign controversial is that it supports Donal Trump.

Someone somewhere is going to find something to moan and cry about -- with anything related to Trump.

I’ve seen two objectionably phrased signs in PA. One says “Trump 2020 - no more bullshit.” The other one said something to the effect of “four more years, bitches.”

Then profanity on a BLM sign is also protected speech.

Boasting yesterday missSW invited her daughter and daughter’s bf. Once away from the dock, daughter gifted a Trump flag to us for the boat...the same as this sign “Trump 2020, f#¢|< your feelings”. O.k. The way home,I forgot to remove the flag. As we approach the dock, the neighbor’s man-bun screamed at the daughter; “is the little white girl voting for trump”

...then the fight started. It was not a beauty to behold.

The flagged so absolutely triggered bun-boi.

Way back when some guy had two F**K BUSH Bumper Stickers on the back of his old beat up Honda.

Rude and crude for sure. Imagined some Soccer Mom with a Van full of little Kids dealing with that after pulling up behind that Moron at a Stoplight.
