Driving the news: The posters — which read “ARRESTED” — specify various crimes linked to the pictured immigrants and have the White House’s official logo at the bottom.

-The “roughly 100” posters were being placed strategically along “Pebble Beach,” where TV news crews do live shots in front of the mansion. A White House official told Axios the intent is for the posters to be visible behind TV journalists reporting from those positions.

-Posters positioned near the West Wing claim to show unauthorized immigrants arrested for “first-degree murder,” “sexual abuse of a child,” “kidnapping and rape,” “murder,” “rape of a child,” and “distribution of fentanyl.”

-Others claim to show people charged with “sexual assault of minors,” “sexual contact with a child,” and “lewd acts in front of a child.”

-The posters describe the arrestees as “illegal aliens.” Their names and precise legal statuses aren’t included.

    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”

    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.

    Someone needs to print these with all of his crimes and place them on the other side of the fence.

    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?

    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.

    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 good, it’s the modern day equivalent of parading people down the street so the public can throw rocks or cabbage at them.

    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”.

    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.

        Vlad was unique with the impalements but wasn’t out of pocket according to the day. He was slandered by a rival.

          In many ways, absolutely. I was only referring to displaying impaled enemies on pikes along the roads as a deterrent.
