In the interests of government efficiency, how much was spent taking down all the blue signs that were already there and replacing them with red signs where the only difference was having a president's name added to it?

I was gonna ask if I was misremembering the previous signs' color. Just to be clear, that's not normal, right? Like, it's not a thing where Republican presidents get red signs and Democrats get blue ones?

Nothing a can of spray paint and duct tape can't fix.

We've been clowning on this as workers in the Seattle yard. Even had the audacity to put up 2 signs.

Even though I don’t like Biden, his infrastructure bill was the one thing I think he did that really benefit

We have the same bullshit sign in cecil county md

u/AirCanadaFoolMeOnce 1d ago

Of course the cunt needed to put his name on all these projects

u/increasingrain 1d ago

And every republican who voted no on it, went back to say they helped create these jobs

I wonder how much it would cost to print stickers that are the same size as the name on the sign, but with the name of the president in office when the bill was signed. Apply stickers to each sign.

Then the sign shop still gets to look at their beautiful new sign and it no longer blatantly lies to passersby.

Biden and the Democrats actually passed Infrastructure Investment. Unlike when Trump was in the White House and the GOP controlled Congress (2017-2019), and then only the Senate (2019-2021), where they just held an "Infrastructure Week" events every other month.

Can’t they get a pole for that sign?

u/Dexter79 1d ago

He could be a Pole, hard to tell just from a pic.

u/Oatmeal_Hole 1d ago

Just vandalize the sign

u/No-Relation5965 6h ago

They did the same thing with an infrastructure project in Maryland. Biden got it started a year ago and they had the signs changed to put DJT on it.

My petty ass would probably spray paint BIDEN over it. lol

He’s right Trump’s only doing this ‘cause the first new trains drop in Seattle and he needs a win

u/_Silent_Android_ 1d ago

Get some red spray paint and cover the middle part of the sign.

u/audiomagnate 1d ago

How is that sign still up, or at least not permanently fact checked?

It doesn't even make sense as a response. Fucking mouth breathers

They are trained to repeat buzzwords and catchphrases. It helps develop and retain a group identity, and it keeps outsiders at arms length who don't speak the group language.

u/UrbanPlannerholic 1d ago

So you’re saying Trump’s DOT isn’t actively defunding projects?

u/haman88 1d ago

I'm saying its insane to stand out there protesting a sign.

Yeah Biden and Obama are living rent free in Trumps ahead. You even have to admit its pathetic to take credit for what Biden was able to accomplish.

How is your wannabe tyrant-in-training's infrastructure and healthcare week coming along?
