CALVERT COUNTY, Md. - A controversial billboard is causing a commotion in Calvert County. Located near the intersection of Route 4 and Bowie Shop Road in Huntingtown, it depicts President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris in cartoon feces. The sign then says, "DON’T BLAME TRUMP! YOU ARE STUCK WITH THESE TWO (expletive) HEADS!!!"
"It’s just vulgar," said Jeanette Flaim, who is the chair of the Calvert County Democratic Central Committee. "Kids are going to school, and they’re going by it every day, and parents are driving their kids. We just don’t think kids should have to see that or parents should have to explain that." But Tuesday – as previously reported by the Calvert Recorder and Southern Maryland News – county commissioners said they may not have a choice, citing the 2015 Supreme Court Decision in Reed v. Town of Gilbert. "There is nothing that we as county government can do for language that’s on a legal sign," Board of County Commissioners President Buddy Hance said. "You know this country was built on the foundation of free speech, and sometimes we like what that free speech says and sometimes we don’t."br> But Flaim said in her view it’s not just a free speech issue, telling Fox 5 that pro-Trump and anti-Biden billboards have been going up in the same spot for years but adding that she takes issue with this specific language and imagery. So much so, she’d like to see a public pressure campaign aimed at getting the sign taken down. "We have not complained about any other signs," Flaim said. "It’s this sign we think is, again, damaging to all of us, all of us in Calvert. The GOP, the Independents, everybody." Attempts to reach the person responsible for the sign weren’t immediately successful.

freedom of speech
lovely and poignant
concise and accurate
Truth hurts, does it not?
I’d have said “Grandpa Grope & the HO”.
Instead of taking the sign down, it should just be changed to Marxists or Socialists or Election Thieves. Less vulgar and more informative.
There’s no reason to have vulgar language on a billboard that all can see. Why be as disgusting and profane as the Democrats?

My apologies for the double post.
It’s called free speech, baby!
some renegade “republicans” paid for a giant billboard on I95 in North Carolina accusing Trump of murdering 300,000 of his fellow Americans through covid. That was much worse and I don’t recall the Dems getting their underwear in a twist over it.
“We just don’t think kids should have to see that or parents should have to explain that.”
But F*ck the cops and WAP are perfectly fine for the kids to see...
“ More, more, more of this, please. Everywhere.”
And all the time.
No mercy.

The shitlib Left has for decades called Normal Americans every name in the book and then some. Listen to them squeeeeeeee like the rats they are when they get even the smallest dose of their own medicine. Music to my ears. More, more, more of this, please. Everywhere.

Well and truly said, and I agree with every word of it. And to those patriots who had the courage to get the sign put up, I would gladly pay to have one just like it put up out here in Garrett County.
Alinsky at work...dems sure don’t like it when the ‘opposition’ uses Alinsky against them.
30 years ago my county had a firebrand conservative who hung all the county commissioners in effigy from a billboard on his property. Try that today.
That's the Apple version. Google, Microsoft and Samsung have slightly variant versions
Substitute Trump for Harris/Biden and it would be “speaking truth to power”.
Because trying to be better than them worked so well in the past, no?
We are at war with them.
People whose ears burn at profanity are not the individuals needed to defend America when/if push comes to shove.
If someone can’t handle harsh (and, frankly, true) language, they will not be able to handle bullets whizzing past their heads.
Those two give poop a bad name.
