That's why I think it is real. I know there are a lot of AI and false stories these days.

THINK ABOUT THIS:

The UK citizens that did this got charged with ****MALICIOUS COMMUNICATION********

It is actually a law in the UK................................enacted years and years ago for some unknown reason.................

Trump and the RepubliCONs will recognize this happening as a completely new and humongous attack on anyone or any group here in the U.S. saying anything bad about Trump or his CABAL..........

He can say....... it is law in other countries, and we should declare Malicious Communications also as a law, in the U.S.

The Republican Senators and Republican House Members, as well as the U.S. Supreme Court will jump on it immediately......
They all would benefit immensely from this law..............

So, if protestors carry posters, they can be busted and charged, Internet locations can be shut down as Malicious Communications, any personal email by all of us, is a criminal offense, etc etc etc.........

AND for all who say: "THEY CAN'T DO THAT".......How many times in the past 9 years have we said that, only to be proven wrong???????????????

OMG, this is far far worse than Citizens United.............

The people who were arrested had not been arrested before despite repeating the same prank several other times, even talking with police, who joked with them.

If they did this during daylight, it wouldn't show up.

This reminds me of the "emoluments" projection on Chump's Hotel in Washington.
'Memba this? ...

Tricky it is to get all of that to line up. Like the arrow, which is perfectly placed.

I admire the cleverness on our side.

Someone from across the street, not too far away, came up with the idea. Since they did this from their own property (not a government building) Chump was unable to twist their arm and make it stop.

After his first term was over, Chump no longer managed the DC hotel. So the projection stopped after that.

At Windsor, a bold light display
Put Trump and Jeff Epstein on play.
A birthday note shone,
With victims all shown—
A prank as his state visit lay.

At the castle they lit up the night,
With Trump and his pal in plain sight.
A note and some pics—
Quite the PR conflict—
State visits just hit different, right?

They projected old Don on a wall,
With Jeff in a hug at the Hall.
"Happy Birthday!" in tow—
What a royal sideshow!
Now that’s how you crash a state ball.
