“Dear PoPville,

Just now. The signs are posted every few feet, never saw the one citing the law before:



Made everyone leave from PA Ave in front of White House, including a few school groups. Those kids are getting a lesson/ memory for sure. Overheard a nasty interaction between some folks, one group telling other to leave the country, something like that. I hope it doesn’t get ugly tomorrow.”

I will never forget during the covid pandemic, Americans were dying due to lack of medical
supples and equipment here in the US, and Jared Kushner states that all stockpiled supplies
belong to him and Trump. He sold these suppled to wealthy foreigners while Americans were dying.

and have never forgotten. These are people without countries, without family, without friends, and without any sense of responsibility. They owe no allegiance to any man, woman, country, or business. Therefore, whatever they can do for themselves by themselves is the ultimate "good" to them. They are the counter answer to the old "No Man is an Island." These people ARE islands. I say they're islands of evil, but that's just me.

So many of us saw this coming when the government started allowing them to offshore business to cut down their costs. Their only answerability was to themselves and their shareholders. We didn't even make them pay taxes to their home countries! How really stupid are we?! The one place we could have demanded accountability, and we let them get away with taking as much as they want right off the top, while throwing their former American workers into the junk pile.

they were protesting the use of military on Americans

So they don't give a flying F what the people want.
