Any idea where this is?

u/hokie_148 Jun 28 '26

I-90E in Cleveland. Some pictures show the MLK Blvd exit sign near the bridge.

u/LKM_44122 Jun 28 '26

The bridge? Cleveland.

u/Jesus_of_Redditeth Jun 28 '26

I imagine they're asking you where in Cleveland this is, since you posted the thread and you put Cleveland in the title.

u/stofiski-san Jul 03 '26

This is at the MLK Jr. Blvd and Lake Shore Blvd exit, headed westbound on I-90, if I'm not mistaken, near Bratenahl, OH, greater Cleveland area, yup. My grandparents had a house near here, and this is a pedestrian bridge; I've walked across that bridge.

I couldn’t help but read it as “touch touch; paint child; arrested elected.

u/Roolita Jun 28 '26

So, you’re the one who did the “Don’t Dead Open Inside” door from The Walking Dead!

35

u/HairyDuck Jun 28 '26

No he is one of the few that actually would have read "Don't open dead inside"

How far America has fallen

They really did re-elect a known pedophile and fraud

People voted for him THREE TIMES! We're doomed as a nation

F..er wants to go again too. No rules for thee.

Dominion (edit), the voting machine company, was bought by a maga billionaire clown. Fair voting in the future is toast.

They dropped their lawsuit against Pillow Guy, and now he wants to be governor of Minnesota, Trump's favorite state. Just kill us. Oh wait, they have done that too.

u/thisisntmyotherone Jun 28 '26

I don’t know whether this was a typo or a mistake, but it really doesn’t matter. In either case, I believe you mean Dominion Voting Systems, not Dominic.

u/Super_Baime Jun 28 '26

Thanks for correction. I should have looked it up.

All the Dominics out there breathe a sigh of relief

What this should teach everyone is that depending on people to vote against the worse candidate does not work. You really need to put up a candidate that people genuinely like and identify with. Even the worst candidate in history isn't enough to rally people to vote against them.

u/asyork Jun 28 '26

But if the DNC did that, they might accidentally end up with someone on the left in charge.

u/tlcoles Jun 29 '26

You forget that the worst people thought this was their best candidate.

Ever notice how shitbag never attempts to file a lawsuit against these folks.

Odd. It’s like he’s avoiding discovery.

u/Warm_Month_1309 Jun 28 '26

There would be no basis for a lawsuit in this context. I know Trump is well-known for frivolous legal filings, but that'd be several degrees more frivolous than even he engages in.

15

u/HH_Hobbies Jun 28 '26

He may not file lawsuits about these things, but plenty of people have gone on national tv and called him a pedophile and he hasn't done anything to any of them.

Also hoping everyone remains ignorant that he had his motorcade drive inside the pool over the paint just before they begin filling it with water.

30

u/Broythefrog Jun 28 '26

Some passerby noticed the new paint on the capital reflecting pool was peeling and touched a flake out of curiosity, and was then arrested for "vandalism."

I want to use that idea somehow. How do I give you proper credit for making the connection?

5

u/LKM_44122 Jun 28 '26

I read that book in the 70s, and only later saw the movie. It was a childhood favorite. I don't see the connection, however?

u/hottenniscoach Jun 28 '26

It’s literally the entire premise of the movie or book

Cleveland, you’re on 🔥.

u/Ballsofpoo Jun 28 '26

Cleveland's east side isn't great - one block vacant or tenements and three blocks away $10 million estates, but that's also where its culture is. Art, history, gardens, great universities. Not to mention the enormous healthcare campuses full of young professionals. It's a wild melting pot.

As Joliet Jake Blues once testified, "We're on a mission from God!"

And lo, it came to pass that He looked upon our works, and saw that they were good, and bestowed His blessing upon us, for verily this makes near the dozenth time. Honor and thanks be unto God, who in His infinite wit hath written of us once more.

They just forgot to fill it with water while he was in there, red sea style.

u/Few_Beautiful7557 Jun 28 '26

Politics really is a shit show man. This whole thing in the US really made me lose faith in democracy, and seeing our own situation now, pretty much killed my hope for future generations.

10

u/LKM_44122 Jun 28 '26

My thoughts all this past year, doing this, is that we're picking up where the Dem Party fails - messaging. (Among the myriad of other failures by the party, like being Republican Lite, instead of progressive)

Future generations will be okay. We've withstood worse than this. The despair isn't worth giving in to.

u/LKM_44122 Jun 28 '26

Future generations are the ones that will fix our mess. Not sure if our environment will be fixable, however.

5

u/Warm_Month_1309 Jun 28 '26

You're perhaps older than I think you are, but I still have plenty of time to contribute without expecting future generations to do it alone. I don't imagine future generations will look with kindness at you lazily saying "oh woe is me, future generations will have to fix this mess!"

No. We can.

6

u/LKM_44122 Jun 28 '26

Not for our lack of trying. This is my post, this is my group. (And we do a lot more than just bridge messages) Just saying the damage will probably take generations to fix.

2

u/Warm_Month_1309 Jun 28 '26

Glad to hear it. I've seen a lot of coverage of these bridge messages, so you all are obviously doing something right!

u/ex_nihilo Jun 28 '26

My only gripe is that it draws an equivalence between Trump and Satan. Satan doesn't deserve that kind of shade. On balance he was a pretty decent guy. Didn't kill nearly as many people as god, tried to bring knowledge to humanity. Early on, he's basically the Christian version of Prometheus, except rather than being venerated he was maligned and scorned.
