kinda scary



🚨 Something’s not adding up.

The White House and Treasury just got hit with overnight barricades; the kind they only roll out when they’re bracing for backlash. No protests, no parades, no reason given. Just steel, silence, and speculation.

What’s coming?

Of Jerome Powell, Chair of the Federal Reserve of the United States.

and of course, Trump bombed them and I think they think he green lighted Israel.

Could be that he is going with replacing Powell who still has time on his term and they expect protests.

If so, I don't see so much need for barricades at Treasury---
they "just take orders"--- we all know who's to blame

As an aside, JFK used to spirit paramours via those tunnels.

Were you unaware of it? It was built after Pearl Harbor for obvious reasons.

JFK was who he was.

How democratic.

Anyway, I’d venture to guess that someone is acutely aware of how unpopular the BIG BOOTIFUL BILL really is…

You see, in about a week there is going to be an uptick in the number of shootings related to massive gatherings of people with reports of explosive devices being detonated across the nation. Trump and the media will spin this 4th of July celebration as the result of No Kings protesters trying to wrest power and martial law will be established. The fencing will become permanent, and the White House will be safely within the Presidential Compound.
