The Emperor Has No Balls

Submitted by Reddebrek on August 20, 2016

So I see in the news an anarchist group (the media isn't exactly accurate on its political labelling) called INDECLINE have been erecting naked statues of Donald Trump in city parks.

Don't know anything about this group, apparently they inserted the names of victims of police violence on the Hollywood stars.

Update 4:29 p.m.: Parks Department spokesperson Sam Biederman provided us with the following statement regarding the Trump statue:

NYC Parks stands firmly against any unpermitted erection in city parks, no matter how small.

“The Emperor Has No B—s,” as the project is called, arrives several months after the group covered stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame with the names of African Americans who have been killed by police. In the past, the collective has also claimed responsibility for an anti-Trump “Rape” mural on the U.S.-Mexico border and a massive piece of graffiti art in California’s Mojave Desert.

Oh god! Not bumfights! On the other hand, Clinton has either a large handful of balls or, rather, a state of the art ball-grinder, but Bakunin's her first patient!!

Wow that's really disgusting. According to the wiki page for the group it has this to say

Some media have described them as anarchists, despite their lack of anarchist values. Their website contained films where film makers exploit the homeless, a FOR-profit shop, and a FAQ section showing homophobia. Anarchism rejects exploiting the unprotected ones, capitalism and homophobia.

So I guess its another streetish indy group lazy labelled Anarchists by the media because of stereotypes.
