    You ever watch documentaries on ancient Egypt?

    There are all these statues and name plates where the faces or names are destroyed. And the narrator always says something like "yeah this guy. Wasn’t liked very much ".

    And I always thought. It’s such a shame that petty people were always destroying art and statues.

    But like now.

    Now, I get it. And I don’t think it was a shame because it’s what I want to do too.

      Every time I would see that skidmark’s name on there, I’d think of this:

      I mean, DonOLD’s stupid monkeys all seem like they come straight out of Idiocracy.

        Yeah, I’d like an investigation on who made that decision, though, and just why they made it?

        They didn’t put up a tarp when putting up that skidmark’s name on there.

          Funny thing: when they put the letters up, they just used a cherry picker.

          Apparently this is all we’re allowed to see:

      Tarp is still up, too, but there is some footage of the letters seen being taken off through the gap near the wall. I imagine the tarp will stay up until the holes are patched, if they will be.

    New York Times reported that no sounds of power tools were heard, and it appeared that the lettering was simply removed by hand.

      Reports were, the letters were glued on. In the livestream it took 20 minutes to remove him. Unlikely any damage to the wall.
