My only real problem about graffiti is, that it is usually so shitty.
Badly spelled swear words, swastikas or poorly drawn vaginas and dicks.
I mean, really, have you people no taste (or writing skills)?
I find it extremely odd that there aren't at least a few PACs keeping him afloat. Did he decline public funding? There is something super weird going on.
The best graffiti I've ever seen was under a bridge in my home town, in black spray paint in all caps "KILL FASCISTS", to which another person later added in purple paint in the most fanciful style "with magic!" with a little star wand.
I mentioned the case when it first hit the Supreme Court, but as a follow-up of sorts - Samantha Bee just did a segment on Dollar General vs. The Choctaw Nation
Scant details on the case itself (probably because it's difficult to get yucks out of child rape), but a pretty solid overview of tribal sovereignty and the erasure thereof. And the first time I've seen the case covered by anything even approaching a mainstream outlet

Two of Donald Trump’s keenest critics in Scotland have hoisted Mexican flags next to his Aberdeenshire golf course to show “solidarity” with the Mexican people during his visit later this week.
The presumptive Republican presidential nominee flies into Scotland on Thursday to officially unveil his lavishly revamped hotel and championship golf course at Turnberry in Ayrshire. Trump says he has spent £200m ($293m) refurbishing the resort.
Trump will then fly north to Aberdeenshire on Saturday to visit the far smaller course he opened there in 2012, after winning a bitterly fought battle to bulldoze coastal dunes which were legally protected because of their ecological value and rarity.
I find it extremely odd that there aren't at least a few PACs keeping him afloat. Did he decline public funding? There is something super weird going on.
Well, PACs can't keep a campaign afloat. Can keep it even on spending but the campaign can only spend it's own money on travel, staffers, etc. Also most of the GOP's donor class are wary of Trump since they already dunked some 200m in the primary and none of them got what they wanted.
Per funding, I think public funding only happens once he's the actual nominee?

goddamn that lady in the second half is somethin' else
A Presidential campaign as a money laundering/graft scheme is the most Trump thing ever.
he's still losing more money bankrolling his campaign than he's managing to shoving back into his own companies, though. Which is ironically also a very Trump thing.
Train car graffiti always bums me out, because the transient nature of the medium seems to discourage the artists from doing anything more ambitious than a hasty tag. No community murals, no amusingly rude caricatures, no political slogans, just a cluster of illegible names crowding on top of each other.
My favorite piece of local graffiti appeared on the rear wall of a local McDonald's, where someone had taken a set of stencils that looked like the official font for freeway signs, and written "poop, as from a butt." All lowercase, but the punctuation was right on. It's a daily struggle for me to keep from incorporating this phrase into my regular vocabulary.
Realizing lately that I don't really trust or respect basically any of the moderators here. So, good luck with life, friends! Hit me up on Twitter @DesertLeviathan

There's some stuff coming out about something Trump 20 years ago.
I don't know the veracity of it, I haven't seen many news sites pick up on it.

I guess it's hard to get funding from people you already owe money to.

However, the ring will never leave your finger, and you will be unable to ever describe to another living person what you see.

Reporting a graffiti artist to the police because it's a crime is like reporting someone for littering
They'll never catch the guy, the most he'd get is a misdemeanor or a fine or something, and all you'd be doing is inconveniencing everyone involved, including the cops
Plus I mean
Graffiti is neat
Why you gotta be a killjoy
So, living in downtown Oakland, graffiti is not always "neat". We have a higher concentration of public art pieces than any other city I've ever visited, no doubt, and I totally love that. We also have a pervasive culture of scrawling the dumb name you gave yourself on the side of someone else's shit in a weird aspiration to be involved in actual street warfare defined by gang tags. And then there's the actual gang tags, which are not in my neighborhood but are all up in East and West Oakland.
I'm not gonna report anyone to the police for this in any circumstance, but I will absolutely tell the teenage turds from out of town who put up shitty tags late at night because they know the cops won't care about tags in this neighborhood to get the fuck right out of my sight. Especially the dinguses that have been doing their shit on the sidewalk in what appears to be some incredibly durable form of wood glue. I do not need that shit in my boot tread.

He's going to self fund so hard you're going to get sick of self funding.

But holy fuck.
such as?
I don't know
If its true its A) horrible and
But its going to be tough to even get it heard
I think my response is "I don't have any ability to asses the veracity or potential consequences of this".
I feel like if this gets heard there will also be a few dozen "clinton ran into me and drove off" stories incoming.
either way, I hope it isn't true because =/
