Trump's Second Term

This was the greatest military coup in history, beating the Battle of Cannae hands down

But everybody knows that DJT, acting on instinct alone, could defeat the combined armies of Julius Caesar, Alexander the Great, Napoleon and the Duke of Wellington with just a wave of his Sharpie.
 
They had a very specific weapon build exactly for that purpose: finding out it doesn't work is a necessary step in asking for more money to design a new, better, bigger, more expensive one.

Trump’s Latino supporters are learning the hard way: He meant every word

NBC News went to Miami’s Republican strongholds—Cuban and Nicaraguan communities—and found something remarkable: Trump supporters realizing they’ve been used.
“What did you think was going to happen when Trump won?” NBC News reporter Morgan Radford asked one immigrant at a Texas ICE detention facility, in a phone interview. He believed Trump when he said “he was going to deport criminals,” Radford translated.

While he couldn’t vote, obviously, his whole family did the honors. His wife says on camera, “They used us.”

No one could have predicted this! Get me my fainting couch!

“Erika Gonzalez, who manages a nearby barbershop with her husband, voted for Mr. Trump because she liked his tough immigration policy. Born in the U.S. to Mexican parents, she’s concerned about the strain put on public services in Chicago by large numbers of new migrants from Venezuela under President Biden,” the Christian Science Monitor reported. “‘There are a lot of people who come to the USA to work, to have a better life. People follow the rules, pay taxes,’ she says. ‘Some people have been here 30 years. They have their own house, they have a small business. ... What’s going to happen to them?’”


Yeah, Erika, what’s going to happen to them because of your vote?


“I thought they were going to be targeting criminals,” Trump supporter Estefany Peña told CalMatters. “‘No one mentioned during the campaigning of Donald Trump that residents … legal residents … were going to have to go through this,’ she said. Her husband, who came to the country legally in 1999 and has a green card, went to an immigration office in San Francisco for a check-in in late January and still hasn’t come home, she said.”


Except we did mention it. Repeatedly. But you didn’t care. You thought your family would be safe. You were fine with Trump hurting other people—as long as they weren’t your people. You just assumed the cruelty wouldn’t reach you.

Seriously, if people thought that Trump and the Republican Party would actually focus on dangerous criminals, they really, really haven't been paying attention. That's far more a Democratic Party thing than a Republican Party thing, after all, like nigh everything else that's popular policy-wise.

For years before his first term, every time I managed to suppress my gag reflex and listen to Trump, I could hear him describing all and every single immigrants from latino countries as criminals, fiends, a blight on American values and social services, etc.
Those people are blind, deaf, and mostly stupendously stupid !

TwiX is reporting that barricades are going up around the White House and the Treasury. It's a bit early for a 4th of July lockdown. What in the world could be the reason?
(eta) They all seem to be showing the same clip, though. There's a proposed NO KINGS protest for the 4th, but I'd think this precedes some sort of announcement. Perhaps something related to Pride Month?

This is the real reason:

All kidding aside, is there really a fence going up around the White House? I can't find anything about it from any reputable source. The sites that are reporting it are the usual AI generated Indian garbage "news" aggregators.
