The Dept of Labor has hung a large portrait of Trump on the outside.

This is defacing public property IMHO!!


This is where we are now. Official US government building, in this case the Department of Labor headquarters, has hung a large portrait of Trump on the outside. These are scary times.

When PVC - the material used to make scrim banners, such as the one you see here - reaches a certain temperature it offgasses chlorine, which stops fire from happening. If you want to get rid of the thing with fire, what you'll want is a flare gun. The flare will burn long enough that the chlorine will leave the area; once it's gone the material will burn.
