I see they targeted their demographic very well with the merchandise choice.

Ain't free...

Doug the loser.

Gop is trash

He should come grab his signs still polluting the roadways

Wendell August Forge?

Can someone explain the slogan to me? I never quite understood it- it sounds like some sovereign citizen credo.

I’m so tempted to buy these as gag gifts. The look of disgust would be priceless

It’s the “fReEdOm” Republican talking point reinvented.

This person must be a fucking delight at holiday parties.

You should! Give everyone one. Ya know, for the lulz.

Name an ornament that isn’t a cash grab.

[deleted]

Certain side does and it’s not libs

Holiday? You mean CHRISTmas, ya heathen! /s

My daughter gave me her hand made ornament from school like a sucker. She should have charged me for them like a good capitalist.

I hate the one sitting beside 81 just past the Chambersburg mall.

🤦🏾

A few years ago I walked into a office for my job and the Christmas tree was completely decorated with Trump stuff. Not like a decoration or two but a Trump- themed Christmas tree.

Just say NO to MastriaNO!

Another grifter huh?

I left the Republican Party after the Jan 6th insurrection. For the first time since I began voting in 1990 something, I did not vote for the Republican gubernatorial candidate. Dougie “the fascist” Mastriano needs to stay out of wombs, bedrooms, and politics. He’s nothing but a traitor and Trump bootlicker.

I just want to forget this guy and his messages

That was my first thought. I hope it isn’t.

Grifter. Now that he doesn't have the power he desires he's going for it via money.

Someone needs to hire a PI into this guy's Financials. Dollars to donuts there's insider trading and anything done to crush people out of their last dime.

It's from the bible iirc

My god they're everywhere in Luzerne still

Can I interest you in my line of summer camp ceramics class ashtrays? Because every parents' dream is to put out their smokes in a kid's hand imprint!

I tried to do a search...came up empty. Would like to know this as my Mom wanted something from WAF for Christmas 🙄

Ironically, if it’s referring to 1 Peter 2:16, the coda to that is “not using your freedom as a cover for evil…”

Misquoting the bible actually, but when has that ever been a fuss for religious fundamentalists? (ie. John 8:36, KJV: "If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.")

The ones my kids made for me.... but keep trying

The person I bought my house from left behind their Trump Christmas ornaments. On a random windowsill. (We bought the house in May, so they’d been out for a while.)

Into the trash they went.

I hate when people don't take down their signs. Obviously the actual representative isn't the issue, but the volunteers/cheerleaders who put them up need to dispose of the signs post election. Maybe if we had a law which said "Past xx days the representative will be fined 1$ per sign per day". If you want to keep your sign in your yard, that's fine, but on roadsides, intersections, and other public areas you should be held to some accountability.

She’s charging you, trust me…and she’s in it for the long haul.

Didn't know Doug Mastriano had a reddit account.

Like I told the last guy…nothing your kids make you is free.

It was telling people to ignore all mask mandates and lockdown restrictions because Mastriano and his supporters believed that Covid was a worldwide hoax.

Run it over with your car

Why wouldn’t he? Although Reddit is a left wing echo chamber…it certainly is not exclusive to the left, my boy.

Christians who read the bible cover to cover are known as Atheists.

shrugs it did not have that effect on me. It did however move me to some very left-wing stances regarding the stewardship of the earth, the care of our fellow humans, and compassion.

Religion, like alcohol, doesn’t put anything into a person that wasn’t already there. People will always find a way to justify their own behavior.

I'd like to take this a step further. The losing candidate in any given race is required on the hook for their signs AND the winner's signs. Then slap your fine structure on top of that. Makes the races even higher stakes and ensures cleanup

Why? Just, why? He's so smarmy and ick. How do they not see it?

Dougie is a loser and so I s anyone that would buy that crap!

Yeah.... whatever you say....

Walk as Free People. EXCEPT, if your LGBTQ, female, or your skin isn’t lily white. -Dougie the Insurrectionist.

r/whoosh

I want one to keep as a historic relic plus one of those signs. Someday they'll claim this never happened. They always like to revise history.

Lol thought that was a participation metal - and it totally made sense

Representative Rossi's Trump house enters the chat

a fool and his money are soon parted. I wish I could think of something I could sell these rubes

Your Mom wants this ornament?

That sounds very easily exploitable

BUT GUISE HE LOST HOW ARE WE GOING TO WALK AROUND FREELY NOW?!

/s like just in case you missed that somehow

[removed]

Lol we are walking like free people since he didn't get elected

I saw a clown at the grocery store last week with a Mastriano hat and a General Flynn sweatshirt. We kept running into each other through out the store as we shopped and every time I made eye contact purposely and shook my head. The last time I saw him before checking out I told him he should be embarrassed to wear clothes displaying the names of clowns who tried to overthrow our democracy. Strangely he had nothing to say…

Say that to my parents, who put the star ornament I made out of sticks in our yard on the tree lol.

Duck Fougie. While we're at it Tuck Frump too.

Seriously, we need to spend more time and money to do research and create jobs to hire empathic people to take care of the mental health epidemic. Including my dyslexia.

Fuck him!!

You bought that trash? Day after elections I saw a Mastriano celebration and thought all of PA was going to hell in a hand basket. I was almost as disgusted as when Trump made it to the Whitehouse!

Weird…. I’m still feeling just as free. Must not have anything to do with Mastriano.

And then everyone clapped

are you suggesting politicians are dishonest lol

Let's be real here there are still god damn Trump signs around.

The ones I hate the most are the homemade ones. There's one in Kingston/Luzerne made out of wood that I want to light on fire.

Who is not letting them walk free? Themselves, that's who. You're free!!!! Go! Walk!

[deleted]

I wonder how many he has sold already.

So many. I have to drive past a house all the time with a BIDEN IS NOT MY PRESIDENT and about 6 other Trump signs. Get help, dude.

Walk as free people. Terms and restrictions may apply. Must be white, straight, male, and Christian.

LOL imagine buying a Xmas ornament with a politician's name on it. A LOSING politician. 🤣

There seriously needs to be a federal or state law that states that all signs related to a recent relection must come down within a month of said election or face fines that are imposed weekly.

I had to go to Wyoming County for the only frigging available spot for a specific medical thing and went by a house that had a "fuck biden" 3x4 ft sign in one of those glass encased, stone things you'd see in front of a church with times and events on it in their yard.

I don't see how or why anyone would want a sign saying fuck in their front yard.

Free People*

*Unless you're a woman of childbearing age°, then the government controls you.

°Age 10-40

It's interesting, I have never despised someone as much as Trump, and I think he did more damage to this country than nearly anyone in history. And yet! You know how much real estate I devoted to announcing that in my yard? None. Because I am not a crazy person.

It shouldn’t be allowed period. Unless the signs are related to a current ongoing election there shouldn’t be any signs allowed anywhere on personal property or public unless that’s your vehicle with your pity party bumper sticker.

At what point is it legal for me to do it? Election day was 3 weeks ago, can I start taking down the signs from public property?

You’re only free to choose wether you want Burger King, McDonalds, Wendy’s, or arbys. Edit: of course the next slide I get is a McDonald’s ad, as I currently am about to have it for lunch. Very free…

May the odds be ever in your favor

But you don't think some people would plant even more signs to screw the other candidate?

I see we have a coincidence theorist on our hands.

[deleted]

Bro. First of all, this post has nothing to do with handmade ornaments. This post is referring to ornaments that cost money. Congrats! You’re the 5,367,248,991st set of parents to receive a handmade Christmas ornament from your kid(s). I’m sure you’ll display it proudly as long as you can, as you should. That being said, their ornaments are irrelevant in this context.

A cashier even cried and called his mom to tell her he loved her.

And then Albert Einstein came out of the shadows and gave OP a subtle approving nod and a wink while taking a puff out of his pipe.

lol

Do we do that with all of the losing candidates? What happens when only one person is on the ballot? What about the write-ins? Can I screw a losing candidate that I loathe by moving a bunch of signs onto public property?

We shouldn't have our elections take multiple years to run. In other places there are strict time limits on when campaigning can start and this on the level of weeks before an election rather than years.

Better late than never. I left them in 2016 and looking back with good ol' 20/20 hindsight...I regret not doing it much sooner.

I have this Trump flag that someone taped to my car as a joke. I use it for target practice ;)

I'm sure you can think of plenty. I can, too. These are not intelligent, thinking people. Remember the idiots who showed up armed to a cemetery because of a Facebook prank?

The problem is that I can't think of anything I could sell to these rubes that doesn't violate my sense of ethics and propriety.

“Walk as free people!”

Minorities and poor people don’t apply

I love that idea of giving them as gifts. Oh my god it would be hilarious to see my brothers’ faces. I just don’t want to give a penny to Mastriano.

HA! FUCK no, that was from his public FB page. It's a laugh riot.

I’ll be looking at my parents Xmas tree for that one. And a doctor oz/angel tree topper

Mental illness will also exclude you.

I wish gun clubs would gather them up as great target holders

"Because I am not a crazy person." Made me burst out laughing.

Not because I think you're crazy, it just caught me off guard.

I keep thinking about that but I know one of those wires will go straight through my radiator.

If you're stupid enough to spend $30 on this piece of shit, I have no pity.

Ay, there’s the rub.

He should have sold matching pairs of those T-shirts that say “I’m with stupid.”

A sucker Maga is born every minute

What’s up with Luzerne - hearing a lot of kookoo stuff happening there.

Yeah I dunno. My house isn't there but it's right on the line so I drive in a lot.

The whole "walk as free people" slogan is so dumb. Its not like the US, let alone Pennsylvania, ever had real lockdowns where people couldn't leave their house.

have a fee that all candidates pay into that would pay for a township/municipality crew to take a day cleaning them up

Why should you not be allowed to start campaigning until a few weeks before the election?

I honestly hate when businesses do shit like this. Dont make me as a customet decide if I want to indirectly support someone. Cause if I decide it is someone I would be uncomfortable donating directly to I am never going back to that business. Plus I think it is unfair to the employees. If it is public facing they have to deal with customers getting upset over the sign or deal with people who use a political party as a personality and want to pull them into conversations about politics they may not want to be involved in. And what if you happen to support the opposing candidate? If your boss finds out are they going to start treating you different?

Unless the boss is literally on the ballot keep that shit at home.

He should have got a book deal.

I’m betting the other side has a really small “made in China” just like Trump Merch. Lmao

[deleted]

I think it is, unfortunately.

They're supposed to be removed within 5 days of Election Day. After that, some municipalities consider them "abandoned property".

I am so disappointed. Will never buy anything from there again.

Right. It's a shame. It's been tradition in my family to give these as gifts to each family from my late grandmother. My parents had continued that tradition each year since her passing.

No, if you read the comment it says she wants “something” from WAF.

Man he needs to just go away now here! He lost the election and I believe he conceded the election too here as well. Now his brain dead supporters are filing lawsuits to challenge the election. Once again they are using the whole Trump narrative that the election was stolen and it’s voter fraud! Just go away folks! Damn!

WaLk As FrEe PeOpLe

It’s like that in Bucks country too…including flying the American flag upside down, and an all black American flag

Reddit is a left wing echo chamber…

r/conservative is left wing now? Lol

For those people that insist everyone else has to say “meeey Christmas” I’ll reply back to them “happy saturnalia”

Yes they do!

With absolutely zero knowledge in politics. Hey my house is decorated like trump. Boom, win.

There was a guy running for county commissioner a couple years ago, that believes in aliens, and at the polling station was wearing Trump shoes and a jacket. He almost won. Not because of anything he believed in, but because he was a diehard Trump person. Outside of Pittsburgh and Philadelphia Pennsylvania really is Kentucky

I absolutely choose who gets my business based on things like this. Basically if you thought it was a good idea to cover your business in someone else's logos and name for FREE..you're bad at capitalism and business, and I'll give that money to someone else. This is a problem that will solve itself, while they blame the economy for their failing business.

I personally don’t patronize business that push views from either side I don’t want to know what your views are just sell me you goods/service

If you don’t have the $30 just say so

Works both ways too. A lot of people have good paying union jobs knowing full well their dues support a Democrat candidate. Should they quit. No, deal with it and understand that it doesn't matter who you support or they support. Our representation is picked for us years in advance and votes mean nothing to the "machine".

If you leave signs, you should get a littering fine for each one.

But it's *not* cult-like behavior. All politics aside it's not healthy for any human to be celebrated quite like this.

I saw like 100 of them on the side of the highway.

One of the biggest things is that it distracts from governing. In the US, a very large percentage of a legislators efforts are spent on campaigning for the next election. This is especially the case for representatives who are elected every two years, where for many, there is no time when it's not campaign season. It is also hugely expensive thus giving unfair advantage to candidates who either have more money or have wealthier supporters.

I firmly believe that having more restricted campaign times combined with having saner finance rules (many of which we used to have) as well as the media fairness laws that we used to have (until they were gotten rid of in the Reagan era but this also ties into the finance rules since having billion dollar media corporations shilling for you is unquestionably helping to finance your campaign) would go a very long way to making our elections more fair and our governance far better. But when you take the path of anyone can campaign for anyone else at any time, saying anything they want, we get what we have today.

What the Fuck? Is this shit on his website? I’d look, but I don’t want to give that piece of shit a website click.

Yep. And if these union guys are ever at a strike or rally that gets ugly, Fox News will label them as "liberal thugs". Really, like how many union workers do you know who identify as liberal?

I am not a crazy person either; we should get tee-shirts.

Thankfully he’s didn’t get elected and pa can still walk as free people to adequate schools and healthcare

Union household voters consistently support democratic candidates more than republicans usually by around 15 points every election season

I see that this got labeled a low-quality post. Considering that the subject of the post is a low-quality candidate with a low-quality Christmas ornament, I guess it's fair.

I don't care for politics or ragging on about them, but if you're decorating your tree with political trash then maybe you've lost the spirit of Christmas a bit...

Of course they do, it’s in their self interest. I hope you don’t think this means they consider themselves “liberals”.

“Walk as free people… except with all these extra limitations on your freedom that I want to impose”

And there it is.

Yeah, she likes their trays 😉 and it's an easy Christmas gift but... not going to support their doing business with the state insurrectionist.

That would almost certainly result in a 1st amendment related lawsuit.

Or millennials.

This sounds like the entire Lebanon/Berks County line. One house two blocks from me has a sign that says "TRUMP 2021" on it.

The few times I've driven through that county, I've seen some new batshit thing up there, same with Perry County.

It broke my heart when I saw that flag outside the diner in my town. I don't think I had breakfast there after seeing that. The guy has shut down the diner since he can make more money at the Expo Center.

Yeah that would just turn into the opposing party stealing all signs the day of the election and then putting them up and reporting them the next day

I thought there was a law that all signs had to be removed within 3 days after the election?

I absolutely agree - but since those greedy media grifters would see losses in the billions, they'd fight like hell against it. considering they have the loudest bull horns - and the candidates don't get the keep the money and would have to do so much begging we would hope they would also say yes to restricting campaign time. Make Labor Day the kickoff. Maybe July 4 for President because all states and territories are involved. But senate, house, govs and local races do not need more than 8 weeks to get their message out, do they? Put it on a ballot initiative. Extended media madness and the sloshing of corporate and billionaire bribes does nothing for progress. End this BS.

> and Christian.

only if one belongs to the correct Christian sect..

Catholics, Lutherans, Presbyterians, Methodists, Congregationalists, Anabaptists, Quakers, and other mainstream Protestant denominations need not apply, as they are all the "wrong" form of Christianity to those Trumpist kooks.

and we all know what the "correct" Christian is - it's whatever the Trumpist kook of the day/week/month says it is, and it's a guarantee it's not any mainstream version of Christianity, or any sane one at that.

> Strangely he had nothing to say…

no, it's not strange, it's normal for them.. everyone in my family, except me of course, are MAGA Republicans, and unfortunately a few life-long friends fell under the MAGA spell.

whenever I would confront one of them with unassailable proof that whatever they were just spouting was a total lie fabricated out of whole cloth, to a person their reaction is the same - they freeze and don't say a word..

it's like their body jumps as if scared or shocked and their brain just shuts off.. I guess to prevent the truth from sinking in and fixing some of their brain damage or something.

If there is it clearly is not enforced.

oh god. Now I'm mentally preparing myself to find one on my parents' tree.

"Walk as free people*"

*Except you, ya fuckin' Jew/Black/Asian/Woman/anyone who's not a rich white conservative Christian man.

Seriously, can this shit-breathed CHUD just fuck off already?

Yeah that never happened either.

[deleted]

Bingo!

Lmao hope he sells a million to morons

Seems like a weird thing to fixate on. The dudes out of the picture, why are you on his dick?

Isn't that a clothing store for teen girls?

A few days after the Uvalde shooting I walked into my eye doctor's to pick up some contacts and saw a "Proud Member of the NRA" sticker on the door that I had never noticed before. And this is in MontCo! It really made me mad, not only because of the timing but also because I went there specifically to support small businesses, not to fund anything having to do with the NRA. What does that sticker have to do with eye care? Why do you need it on your door? Honestly I won't be going back.

I have no idea why people think that stuff's appropriate in places like the office. There should just be places that are political neutral spaces for everybody's peace of mind.

Let them be preyed on. In all honesty, people who are easily taken in by grifters are not generally worth saving. If it isn't one scam, it'll be another. Some just have no self-preservation instincts.

Unions support whoever they feel is the best for them. The Seafarers International Union for instance backed George W Bush but then backed Obama over McCain because of McCain's stance on the Jones Act.

And I dont buy anything from a union directly so it kind of misses the point.

By the way this anti-union bend in the right is fucking bullshit and should upset people. Unions are the reason anyone gets paid overtime, unions fought hard to get workers a seat at the table and it is no coincidence that as union busting increased we've seen the wages for workers stagnate.

But if you dont care about that did you know that members of the Seafarers International Union have been helping America not only get the shit you buy on your shelves but fought to make American shipping one of the safest and cleanest shipping industries in the world? Part of what the Jones Act does is mandate that goods moving from American port to American port must be done by American flag vessels that follow our safety standards.

Apparently certain people being free means others can't have the same rights, according to Doug. He seems to think about gay guys fucking alot

I’ve seen quite a few billboards in SWPA for Trump over the last 8 years.

what exactly are we not free to do unless doug is the governor? inf act what exactly is any citizen not free to do unless a republican is leading the nation?

these pathetic virtue signaling platitudes give me a headache just reading them

or ......wait for it...... MEXICANS!!!

there are fucking Bognet signs in Wayne County still up from 2018.
