Dept of Transportation finally bans political graffiti on public roads

[marvin martian]

This should have been done a long time ago, but weak, corrupt administrations like Biden's and Obama's never had the balls or the foresight.

Hate has no place on our roads anymore.

About time.

There could be blowback against the regime if it moves too quickly on stripping away rights and freedoms for political purposes.

No one has a right to put graffiti on public roads, dipshit. You're a moron.

Sounds like you want the federal government to stop contributing money to public roads. Yes?

Sounds like states rights just like most things MAGA pretended to support was complete B.S.

So you support pulling all federal funding from public roads?

Sounds kinda racist.

I support the federal government in not being so petty and authoritative.

The Dept. Transportation only has jurisdiction over interstate highways.

Hence the secretary's memo to the governors.

Good, it was total BS for DC to defile 16th st with that BLM crap.....At least that one was torn-up and paved over back in March after Trump took over.

Black Lives Matter Plaza Is Gone

Its absence is a reminder in hardscape of how much life in DC has changed since Trump returned to power.

And there are no crosswalks on interstate highways.

If you get your wish and the federal government pulls all subsidies for state and local roads, then the vandals can do whatever the state is willing to tolerate (which in blue states will be a lot).

Enjoy!

I can't see how they could enforce this.

They're asking the governors to do it. Some will, some won't. The ones who don't can be dealt with appropriately.

This could be solved by getting the feds out of funding State Roads.

That seems to be what pknopp is advocating for. As with all leftist policies, poor folks will be the hardest hit.

How do they enforce the 21 year drinking age?

By threatening to withhold highway funds.

You'll note. That is not what is being proposed here.
