The White House lawn was lined with around 100 mug shots of alleged illegal immigrants who have been arrested and the crimes they allegedly committed, as Donald Trump tries to draw attention to his actions during the first 100 days of his second term.

The names and exact locations of the individuals are not on the posters, which line “Pebble Beach,” where television crews typically do live shots in front of the White House—among their alleged crimes are sexual offenses and murder.

    you’re hung up on the word “mugshots” while i’m sitting over here wondering how hard they must have tried first to have heads on pikes and got denied.

        i say this without sarcasm: it’s not hard if you’re not american.

        the last time i was in the US, it amazed me how ubiquitous Fox News is everywhere. like, in your cafes, in your bars, in your casinos - it’s fucking everywhere. the rest of us realized how horrible they were a long, long time ago.

        that said, i know that a good solid majority of Americans are fully against what’s going on. so i’m not knocking you insomuch as just pointing out that the rest of the world isn’t being glazed constantly.
