Next up for an addition to the White House lawn: An 89 Dodge Daytona on blocks that Trump is "totally going to get running again".

The nazis also kept meticulous records of their victims. This will be turned into a memorial one day.
Can some concerned American do the same in the public area in front of the white House with "convicted" posters of trump and his staff? A week later change it to those who have been "pardoned" by trump... Than J6 who have committed crimes since being pardoned.
Sounds like Vlad the impalers strategy to stop investigating further
Someone needs to print these with all of his crimes and place them on the other side of the fence.
Need like twenty signs with just trump in the same format: Fraud, Domestic Abuser, Rape, Bribery, etc.
If we're doing felons it's weird that I don't see Steve Bannon, Peter Navarro, Paul Manafort, George Papadopoulos, Roger Stone, Rick Gates, Allan Weisselberg, or President and convicted rapist Donald Trump.
WWMD The wealthy white man defense is a pretty air tight legal argument. Fits in nicely with the narcissist's prayer.
I didn't do it, but if I did it wasn't a big deal. And if it was, you deserved it.
This is not a good sign.
If you're trying to get people to hate and fear people of color I guess you need to show them what color of people to hate?
This has "Mommy Mommy look at my report card" energy all over it.
Disgusting and vile people who try to justify hating those of color with lawn sized fascist trading cards.
We should figure out what company printed all of these and boycott them back to the printing press age.
This is not a good sign.
I'd say it's about 100 bad signs.
Exactly. He’s like a modern day Vlad the Impaler.
there's a more recent and more accurate comp from germany who had a bad moustache inspired by charlie chaplan's moustache. he, individually, is why no one wears their facial hair like that anymore
Anyone who's an actual adult knows that this is not how adults behave.
Now imagine the entire fucking building being full of adults that don't know how to behave like adults. Calling the shots for the most powerful, influential nation on the planet.
Because that's our reality now.
I would not be surprised if in a month it turns out a bunch of those don't match with the crimes
I would not be surprised that the images are ai generated, since there's no information on the individuals to look them up and fact check.
Not only that, but I'm guessing what's printed are the crimes they're accused of rather than anything they've been convicted of.
Anyone can accuse anyone of anything at any time. That's why courts exist.
Definitely. There is no more due process in the US
I'm not sure why people keep being surprised by this recently. All of the recent events over the last month tell us there's no more due process
We just found out ICE can come into anybody's home without a warrant, and send them to concentration camps that we pay millions for...
The Nazis are here. We are Nazi Germany right now, for people to ask or be confused on why they are evil or what their motive is, their motive is just evil That's it. And it has to be stopped before it's too late
I’m guessing what’s printed are the crimes they’re accused of rather than anything they’ve been convicted of.
So Trump's picture should be up there.
Ironically, no. He's actually been convicted of 34 felonies.
Yes, but he has been accused of child sexual assault. As you say, anyone can make an accusation and he has been accused.
It just says arrested so I'm wagering these guys were never given a trial, just deported to who the fuck knows where.
Or it’s just random people.
Wouldn't be surprised if they were AI generated.
Not only that, but I bet there are a bunch of people here who really are US citizens, and a bunch more who are either here legally, or were until the President canceled their visas just for this stunt.
Quick, someone use that same templating and do Trumps 34x felonies. Plaster a bunch of them up in the same area where the ones on the WH lawn can be seen. Bet they'll get taken down real quick.
With the way GOPs title people, I seriously doubt all of those accusations.
At least it reflects what's inside.
You ever drive past "that house"? You know the one I mean; every neighborhood has one. The one that always has a yard full of signs, banners, flags, etc? The house equivalent of a car covered in bumper stickers, all collectively saying "Stay Away: Crazy Inside"
Now do ones with PARDONED across the top
Someone should put up Trump's picture and all of his crimes with the heading "AT LARGE".
This is not good, it's the modern day equivalent of parading people down the street so the public can throw rocks or cabbage at them.
That might still become a real thing considering where things are moving.
This is their way of screaming at us "Why are you so mad that we're abducting children and sending American citizens to prison camps, when we've arrested like 10 whole pedophiles?!"
Alleged pedophiles
The article is sparse of actual info, so I might be wrong, but these are just arrests. They might have gotten the wrong guys, or just made shit up.
Even if these guys are all pesos/rapists/etc its still a problem he's doing this. The rate of criminality is actuality lower in immigrant populations vs regular citizens so it paints a false picture. But its not even clear this is anything other than (baseless) accusations.
Not even mug shots really. Just close ups of people who aren't white.
No names, no location, no information. Just "Murder" and a photo. It's less than a mug shot.
What the actual fuck
Some should quickly print a sign with the guy who sexually assaulted E. Jean Carroll and put it there....
This is screaming for someone to ham it up with some new signs. I would be pretty surprised if no one's done it inside a week.
They wouldn't have to be at the White House, although that would also be entertaining. It could just be the same format and posted literally anywhere.
Disgusting. I fucking hate this country's government.
Heads on pikes. That's where we're at. Medieval theocracy, here we come
What's next? Heads on spikes? Public crucifixions?
Trump's managed to, in his first 100 days, reach overall public disapproval for pretty much everything other than immigration, so you figure that he's gonna double down on this, since it's his only really winning topic of discussion right now.
Very shameful of the White House.
The very fact that sexual abuse of a minor is being conflated with immigration shows how far we've fallen. This document from the National Institute of Justice shows that the data indicates illegal immigrants have a much lower crime rate than citizens. The issue isn't that they are immigrants, it's that they're criminals. They were presumably committing similar crimes (or at least capable of doing so in Mexico). I'm not any happier knowing that a pedophile is now in Mexico/El Salvador. I want justice and reform. We should always strive for justice and reform. These illegal immigrants aren't the only ones committing these crimes. As I said earlier: largely, it's legal citizens committing these crimes. We need to create a system of justice and reform. We need to be able to handle citizens and illegal immigrants.
Obviously this administration would prefer to take every criminal and push them outside of our borders. Like I said, I don't care if a crime is committed in or out of my borders. I want justice and reform. I want to live in a world where crimes like this are basically non-existent. And I want to live in a world where people with these issues don't become repeat offenders.
Conflating immigration with these types of crimes is just making it harder for us to address the real issues with our justice and reformation system (lack thereof). Not to mention, we are basically just wasting money and time focusing on illegal immigrant crime when the bigger issue is crime being committed by citizens. It's like we cut off our arm, but as the arm fell to the ground one of the fingernails broke. So, this administration is spending all of its efforts on fixing the broken fingernail - and failing to patch the profuse loss of blood coming from its shoulder.
So can we print out all 1470 convicted and sentenced Jan 6th insurrectionist’s mug shots, each with actual names and crimes (for reference purposes. Don’t want anyone to think these are all fake) and a giant “PARDONED” stamp above them all?
Wow, that's tacky as shit. Trump has debased the office of POTUS more than anyone could imagine.
in a country of +300 million, it is easy to show a list of few dozen criminals of any social group
