(113,364 posts)just like we paid for every inch of OUR FENCE. Of course we can use it as a canvas, a bulletin board, a wailing wall. And all of it a poke in the eye to the frightened, stubby-fingered vulgarian, vainglorious, wannabe dictator cowering within.

(21,494 posts)Vietnam Wall. Should list the names of people who have died due to America's racism. George Floyd, Treyvon Martin, Tamir Rice, Ahmaud Arbery, James Byrd, Denise McNair, Addie Mae Collins, Carole Robertson, Cynthia Wesley, Martin Luther King, Jr. Include the names of people who did not become nationally known. Also include the names of people who have died in ICE concentration centers, and the Native American women who "disappear" and are never searched for, let alone found, by law enforcement. The people lynched in the 30's and since. The unknown African and Native American slaves who died of maltreatment and attempts to escape.
There should be a monument to all these people, but one more permanent than paper and cardboard signs on a fence.

(115,735 posts)probably multiple times, since it will be continually added to - and make some kind of display from it for public viewing. There's probably enough content already to fill one of those big glossy coffee table books, which I would buy if they ever make one. It's so fucking epic! I wish I could be there to see it and contribute to it.

(5,725 posts)I was going to post that cartoon depicting Trump and his cronies as babies screaming "Not fair!" in a playpen, but I had to wade through page after page in Google Images of right-wank cartoons featuring college students in playpen "safe spaces" and protesters locked away in playpen "free speech zones" and still didn't find it.
I wonder if those cartoonists grasp the irony now (but I doubt it).

Fritz Walter
(4,291 posts)...these will give *this coward* apoplexy!
Should that not happen, I predict that he will order some beleaguered civil servant to remove these signs.
I also predict that they will reappear almost immediately. And in greater numbers.
Should that happen (and he survives yet another brazen attack upon his psyche), Ill be you half a peach hell order federal LEOs to guard his wall of cowardice.
Lets watch, shall we?

(10,885 posts)Then, of course, he'll need a plexiglass wall to protect the LEOs, and then Jersey barriers to protect the plexiglass, and then hot coals to protect the Jersey barriers, and then...

(10,017 posts)I absolutely love what the protesters have done. I hope Trump blows a gasket and disappears into his bunker until January 2021.
Someone should tell Trump that he can get angrybut we can get even. Were the voters.

(739 posts)Even before the latest fence was added, the additional barticades around the whitehouse in the past 2 decades made me very uncomfortable.
With the addition of this art, I think I will be comfortable again.

(497 posts)It should be embarrassing for him when world leaders come in for the G7 meeting. I know they are staying at Camp David, but surely the state of the White House wont go unnoticed. He may go so far as calling the armed forces back in to guard his beautiful new wall.

(5,810 posts)Theyve tried to stop people from leaving them but with marginal success. This will continue at the White House fence (Wall) unless they bring in armed guards who shoot to kill. Something has risen up in the protesters and they wont be easily turned away. Id love to be a fly in the Oval Office to hear tRump rage on trying to get someone to do something to make it go away.
