Something angered me today [View all]

I went to the local VA clinic, sat down in the waiting area. I noticed that someone had taped a picture of a convicted felon (you know who) over Biden's portrait.
No one else, patient or staff, was in the waiting room. I ripped it off and threw it in the trash.
On reflection, I should have asked for someone in management there and lodged a complaint. I may stop back in, in a day or two, and see if it has been replaced. I understand that display of presidential portraits in government buildings is a tradition, not a requirement, so griping about it may go nowhere with the local management. I live in a very red part of California.
I just wanted to vent and maybe alert others in this group to watch for these kinds of shenanigans.
