The job can be done without thinner. I'm calling the EPA. Stop with the dramaturge, it only emboldens those fishing for a response....Actually maybe this kind of twitter grandstanding is the extra value of his pay raise kicking in for us, albeit a bit early.

And makeamericakindagain? When we're we ever kind? Ask the "first people" how it worked for them?

really? thats all it does? it does nothing else? i have no doubt whatever it was was in poor taste and also hate filled.

so, no, it doesn't 'only embolden' the people doing this, it also lets the people that it targeted know that somebody is out there and has their back.

man. you're really on a roll today.

Being of rural origins I could have sworn that the scent as of your arrival wasn't 1970s perfume ...

O'Malley is a Boston city councilor, so has no vote in how much state representatives and state senators get paid.

So what about city-council raises? In 2014, he voted against proposed pay raises. Yes, in 2015, he did finally vote for a pay raise, but one that was less than originally proposed by Perpetually Angry Steve Murphy.

As a courtesy, I can delete your comment if you like.

Was there even graffiti there?

As I told one of your pals on Twitter, I've known Matt a long time and he doesn't pull crap like that. I don't feel like posting the image directly, but if you want to see the before shot, here it is. If I did post it for the world to see, of course, I'd have to put a Trumpland tag on this post.

"Be careful not to do your good works in public in order to attract attention. If you do, your Father in heaven will not reward you." -- Matthew 6:1

Nice of Matt O'Malley to remove the "Trump related" graffiti in that bastion of hatred and Trump supporters, JP. How's the removal of non-Trump graffiti coming along? His boastful, self-generated publicity reminds me of former MBTA GM Richard Davey (last seen pushing the failed Boston Olympics) bragging that he donated his car to charity so that he could use the T or the Clinton's taking a tax deduction for used underwear.

I would suggest keeping an open mind on this crime as it could be the latest in the epidemic of "Trump related" hoaxes. This list was up to 17 major fakes and it's two months old, heaven knows the number now. Remember, Trump supporters are euphoric at this time, not out in liberal neighborhoods vandalizing park benches with racial slurs.

I'm sure Alternative Jesus would love your humility, too.

Clinton used a tax deduction?!? Atleast she pays taxes. Trump has openly bragged about how he doesn't pay taxes. He and his billionaire cronies in his cabinet can't believe how dumb people like you must be to vote for them and against your own interest every election. You are a sucker of the highest order.

Here's one for you, preacher: "Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me."

Out of 1000+ bias-related incidents reported since the election. That seems... completely irrelevant! But you just keep holding on to it.

Run for Mayor this year or at least At- Large!
