Got to love it! Artist Scott LoBaido used phallic-shaped balloons as a form of protest against the Democratic Party, whom he derogatorily refers to as "D**k" Democrats. New York artist and activist Scott LoBaido staged a daring and amusing protest by releasing numerous phallic balloons into the sky, each with the visages of famous Democratic officials.
This unorthodox exhibition occurred during the current week and was recorded on camera, thus attracting notice on social media and news platforms.

LoBaido, renowned for his controversial and politically infused artwork, directed his most recent act towards Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, as well as Judge Engoron, Judge Merchan, and special counsel Jack Smith.
These individuals have played a crucial role in the continuing legal proceedings against former President Donald Trump, which LoBaido and many of his followers perceive as a politically driven campaign to discredit him.
The event, named "The Diks of Hazard" by LoBaido, involved the launching of phallic balloons from the rear of a box truck. The balloons, adorned with the images of the intended individuals, drifted through the atmosphere, prompting a commotion as law enforcement personnel hurriedly gathered them amidst amusement from spectators.
The situation was disorderly and amusing, evoking memories of a well-known moment from the film Austin Powers, in which a huge phallic object is detected on radar and seen in the sky.
One America News Network reported on the hoax, emphasizing both the ridiculousness and the hidden political meaning of LoBaido's artwork. LoBaido uses humor and shock value as a means to bring attention to what he views as injustices and the abuse of power by specific Democratic officials.
Comments from passing Democrats range from “That Sucks’ to “They can’t even spell dick”!

LoBaido's protest art is an extension of his wider endeavors to question established political standards and stimulate intellectual reflection through artistic expression. The author employs phallic imagery as a figurative critique of individuals that he perceives as misusing their power, symbolized by the derogatory word "d**k" Democrats.
The prank has incited discourse and deliberation, mirroring the divided character of modern American politics. While certain individuals perceive LoBaido's acts as a creative and justified manifestation of dissent, others regard it as vulgar and lacking in respect. Irrespective of one's viewpoint, it is evident that LoBaido's artwork has effectively conveyed a message and attracted public interest.
Scott LoBaido consistently challenges the limits of political art, employing his distinctive combination of wit, provocation, and visual narrative to critique the condition of the country and its rulers.
Final Word: Since the D**K Balloons were such a BIG success he may be considering Biden F**K balloons demonstrating what Biden is doing to America.
(I know you got some comments….)

They had one of AholeC too but she swallowed it.
If this is all the conservative movement can muster in demonstration of what Biden is doing to America... we are most certainly F*****.
I am not impressed... This pitiful display of political satire does little to advance EFFECTIVE GOVERNMENT REFORM and even less to advance our immediate needs. It serves little more than to point out the absurdity of the current political crisis.
However, it may provide some comic relief where none exists in the normal realm of political discourse. Perhaps, I am just overly concerned with the need for real political action to see the humor in flying penis effigies of our opponents.
WOW! Do I have a lot of comments! But a picture is worth a thousand words!
Maybe it accomplishes nothing but make us laugh, but maybe it calls attention to the fact there's no case here, that those who made a case out of nothing against Trump are .......well, a picture is worth a thousand words! It's good to keep humor in dark days.
I agree......but still funny!
True
MAY THE GUILLOTINE OF TRUTH DECAPITATE and DEFLATE Their "HOT AIR BALLOON JURISDICTION OF CRIMINALITY..
