If there countrys are not # holes then why are the populations trying to get into Europe and the US en mass?

The projection of light against a building is likely covered under free speech.
However, calling a business premises a #hole is just asking to be sued for slander.
So it may be legal ... but the consequences of their actions may result in a permanent shift to the poor house after they have been sued.

But alas that is not the type of person that the USA creates. We create the greedy and the selfish here in the states mostly.

If you lit up the building with roses and grape vines, then yes it is artsy.
But calling it a #hole is demeaning and therefore the owners of the building have suffered a loss.

Do you have any idea how many common, average Americans, mostly young folks affiliated with churches and community associations have traveled to Haiti to build homes, schools and churches?
From our small community I can name over two dozen people known to me personally who made those trips, many of them numerous times. Granted, the majority are church-related groups but several have gone with the help of various civic organizations. Perhaps you're running with the wrong crowd if all you see are greedy and selfish. Find a charity and volunteer if you're hot to help. It's not hard to do. But I will admit that it easier to sit behind a keyboard and throw out nastiness!

But when lawsuits start flying, people have to speak under oath, actual evidence has to be presented. There are varying reports (outside of msm) of what Trump actually said or didn't say. Dick Durbin has been known to "miscommunicate" in the past or have his memory wiped. This ain't his first rodeo. Anyone who takes his word as gospel doesn't know the first thing about his past actions or is completely ignoring history.

Well, since Dick Durbin is a well-known and proven liar about issues such as this, and a politician to boot---I'll repeat that there are differing versions of what was said.
You can maintain that msm is telling you the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth in each and every paid minute. I'm too old to be hoodwinked this way I guess. It really makes little difference to me whether he said it or didn't say it.
It took me a bit of searching to find what I think was the reason for Dick's somewhat tall tale. He needed a distraction from the fact that his party could not offer a solution to the immigration problems, they were also voting to give a man they claim to fear above Lucifer himself the power of warrant-less searches. "The hole in the script" as I heard it put the other evening. They have no answers, no solutions---only whining and personal attacks.
I'm very grateful to Trump for getting the insurance mandate removal through Congress. I'm happy that his enthusiasm has pushed the stock market to its highest levels, making everyone with investments put big smiles on their faces. I'm glad that my children and nieces and nephews are getting a nice tax break and will be able to keep a bit of their paycheck to put aside for a rainy day. I harbor hope that some of the rogue elements in the alphabet agencies will be rooted out and brought to account. My wish is that the immigration issues can be worked out so that we do take more people who are educated and don't require assimilation assistance. It would tickle me to death to hear that all gang members were being deported tomorrow.
I find it refreshing to see a guy actually doing what he spoke of in his campaign, being out there reminding people of his promises and vowing to keep working on those he hasn't yet fulfilled. His lack of political correctness doesn't send me into the vapors. Both my careers were in male-dominated fields, I get it about alpha males. I even understand their place in our society.
