Our respect is earned: Mayor removes Trump, Pence portraits from town hall

[yortsed snacilbuper]

At government buildings across the nation, a picture of a smiling, benevolent-looking politician is just about as common as fluorescent lights.

But a portrait of President Trump that no longer graces the town hall in Jackson, Wyo., has sparked national controversy. (And no, it’s not that Trump portrait.)

Last week the mayor of Jackson, Pete Muldoon, had the president’s portrait replaced with a photo of Native American Chief Washakie. Vice President Pence’s portrait was pulled, too.

4. As a teacher I chose not to display a picture of Bush (both 1 and 2)

and on President's Day I never mentioned their name (all 12 years combined). It wasn't required so it was my own personal form of civil disobedience. They were 6 year olds so no one really noticed except for myself but that made me feel as though I did my fair share.

5. "on President's Day I never mentioned their name"

Silence is golden.

6. Jackson is probably the only town in Wyoming where a Mayor could get away with that

The rest of the state is about as conservative as they come.
