    “Disappears.”

    The area it was in probably has 50 cameras around it. There’s footage of it being removed somewhere.

      Read the article. Park personnel toppled it, broke it, then removed it in parts. No mystery here. They got orders to demolish and did so with fascist fashion finesse.

    He wouldn’t shut the fuck up about Obama’s Birth Certificate until Obama released it. Now we won’t shut the fuck up about the Epstein files until he releases them. What goes around comes around Donnie.
