District of Columbia Mayor Muriel Bowser on Friday had "Black Lives Matter" painted on the street that leads to the White House where protesters have been demonstrating following George Floyd’s death in police custody.

"There was a dispute this week about whose street this is," John Falcicchio, chief of staff for Bowser, a Democrat, said earlier in a tweet. "Mayor Bowser wanted to make it abundantly clear that this is DC's street and to honor demonstrators who (were) peacefully protesting on Monday evening."

This is too bizarre. Got to be Photoshop or something. Where are the grownups? Trump has to be laughing his a** off.

If the paint is sufficient, it makes a slick area.

Like when you spin your tires accelerating over the white Stop strip when leaving from a stop.

So, this is a liability issue, especially in damp or rainy conditions. Traction will be lost when trying to stop.

Might be hard to stop before hitting a ‘protester.’

But the blood will be easier to clean up.

They almost burned down a church and they were “peacefully demonstrating”?

So on the next street in large, bold orange letters paint “WHITE LIVES MATTER”, and on the next street paint in silver “HISPANIC LIVES MATTER” and on the next street in BOLD GREEN paint “ASIAN LIVES MATTER”.

Don’t know how you would pull that off because what is okay for the painter of the BLM might land the painter of WLM, ALM, and HLM in jail!!!! But looters, and destroys, and robbers, and brick hurlers can go free.

And what happens if the impending storms that are about to hit FL turn north over DC and washes away that “artwork”? Are the things gonna call G-D a racist? They booed Him at the 2012 DEM Convention

Glad she had all the other problems in her city all fixed that she had extra time and money to plan procure all the materials, staff an perfect lettering so it can be seen from a google map drone.

I mean, government never works this quickly at anything, why now?

Either some 8 year old kid got ahold of momma’s official government email account and sent this joke of an instruction to paint up the street, or we’re dealing with alien higher intelligence here. It goes completely over me head how a “normal” grown woman could have seriously conjured this up.

The cupid stunt mayor is a Democrat. She/he/it doesn't have the brains God gave a fence post, and when her city starts to burn, in the morning, 6 June, 2020, she is going to blame Trump.

I hope you've gone to the national museums. They are going to be smoking holes, tomorrow night.

Right after the painted”BLACK LIVES MATTER” I can envision this painted (or photoshopped in)...except in wombs of moms who aborted them.

Not that I believe that they don’t matter...but the point is...those who abort them don’t think they matter.

Would I be out of order if I were to hope that the whole of DC would go up in rioting and flames?
