The Stranger can buy the Uncle Sam Billboard in Chehalis. It has a historical past. It could possibly’t be missed. It is up on the market.

Although the billboard misplaced a lot of its quirky drive over time, some residents in Chehalis have been so fed up with it (unhealthy for tourism) they tried, in 2020, to have the entire rattling factor torn down or challenged with a “[megasized] welcome signal.” The statements (none of that are associated to actuality, and plenty of of which bordered on the surreal—”Non-communist straw on the market”), nevertheless, continued, however now in drips.

No, it is our “fringe rhetoric and well-publicized failures on crime, medication and homelessness.” And, after all, he has to boost the specter of Black Lives Matter. Smith be about prisons, cops, and an America that revives its devotion to white males. A number of Seattle voted for this man, which is why now greater than ever we’d like that Uncle Sam Billboard.

Mainstream media, I actually do not give a rat’s ass about People who voted for Trump and now have come to remorse it. That is nothing however an incredible waste of our time.

Fuck em; and also you, mainstream press, go fuck your self and the can of beans that fucked you into existence. And let’s put that on our Uncle Sam Billboard.
