C'mon man.
If it were daylight savings, he'd gain an hour. If it were the end of daylight savings, then the joke would work.

Funny (political, religious) pictures

The comic is obviously indicating that it's in spring (spring forward), his watcher informed him of the fact that it was NOW "Daylight Saving" time and he's losing that hour that he thought he had to defuse the bomb.
Aye. I want Daylight Saving extended into permanancy.
Not one of ERB's best, but still pretty funny.

I'd put this about on the level of Mailbox Baseball, which is still pretty irritating.
If it was Trump Tower that wsa vandalized, Trump would need to get it repaired. With the star it's the Hollywood Walk of Fame that needs to pay for repairs.
Although at least this way the contractors hired to fix it will actually get paid for their work...
It's just a practice in general (Vandalism) that I wish wasn't as popular as it is.

vandalism can be really fucking hilarious when it's done to rich, soulless childrens' movie villains who will suffer 100% the insult and 0% of the consequences. it's just fucking property, who cares.
I felt the same way when someone stole the Arbeit Macht Frei signs. Artifacts of History don't deserve to be destroyed on a whim.

I refuse to believe that you don't see the difference between the two. Like, theres just no way.
Of COURSE I see the difference.
But do you see the similarities?
Iconoclasm is still iconoclasm.
I could've chosen several other examples, of course.
--Patrick
it's not even like it's an Oscar, it's literally a $30k self-promotional ad on one of the most famous tourist destinations that TRUMP DID NOT EVEN FUCKING PAY FOR HIMSELF
--Patrick
you keep using that word, and i don't think it means what you think it means.
[this crime] can be hilarious when done to [group I politically disagree with]. Nothing bad ever happes when you start phrasing your arguments like that.
"Screw those old white rich men! They can afford to have stuff replaced! Ha-hah!"
the victim should never be part of deciding how bad a crime is, as you should be well aware of. I understand the sentiment, I really do, but the problem there is that it's just one step to "it would be funny if someone raped Trump" and one more to "Trump supporters".
Sure, I think it was funny, even if I think it's kinda wrong. But be careful how you phrase approval of something or you might be heading somewhere you don't want to go.
Now we know the ID of the guy that trashed Trump's star. His entire family has its ups and downs.

Classic case of misconstruing "freedom of expression". Dumbass.
While I like the spirit, isn't this likely to make the homeowner liable due to it being trapping? That could have been a police officer's car, or an ambulance, or the asshole's car could've flipped and gotten someone injured.
It took me a little while to figure out what made this satire funny. Guess I'm slow today...

But I can only guess, and I'm certain it would vary state to state.

I wonder about that as well. It's private property, presumably, but that doesn't mean you can leave traps out. There are very clear laws against man traps - traps to harm or kill criminals such as burglers - but if the only result is vehicle damage then I'd guess the laws don't have much to say. You can buy devices that go in parking lot exits that tear up tires if you try to enter via the exit (and avoid a fare) for instance. I've never seen one without clear warning signs, though, so perhaps there's some allowances for such devices when clearly marked.

That honestly depends on the state.
It occurs to me that some might never have come across tire damage strips. You can go one way without damage, but go the wrong way and your tires will be irreparably harmed. The spikes swing down when you go the right way through.
These are often used in car rental lots to make it easy to enter the lot but hard to exit without going through the manned security booths. I've also seen them in military bases and certain federal institutions where vehicle security is apparently needed.
That said, if you decided to put the signs around a particularly mushy part of the yard where vehicles would surely get stuck, or put them in front of bollards (big metal posts) then I doubt it would be illegal.
Maybe hide a fire hydrant with election signs.
Illegal? In some places, maybe. Could they sue you? Yes. Even in cases with the above noted tire strips you can sue the owner for tire damage and you might win depending on the merits of your case.
The sign owners, however, have little recourse to people damaging their property. The driver could merely state that they lost control of their vehicle, or were swerving around an animal and it would introduce enough doubt to prevent criminal charges.
