Trump is surrounded this morning by prison guards.

Good morning from Washington where the perimeter around the White House has been expanded - guarded by what we believe are federal prison riot control officers

1. He might want to get to know them - will be spending lots of time with them going forward.

Maybe he can bribe them to bring him girls or adderall.

2. Get thee to the greatest page

for the title and what would be his just rewards

3. Looks like F Troop

4. This photograph... indicates the end of a Presidency.

There's no recovering from this. You can't have a scene like this in Year 4 of an 8 year presidency. This is a president that, if he's lucky, will make it to November.

5. Trump's Ragtag Battalion

6. Yep, that is what is waiting for the present conman and future convict.

[crickets]

7. What a rag-tag looking bunch trump is hiding behind.

Mismatched trousers, mismatched shirts, mismatched helmets and shields. Some of them look to be wearing tennis shoes rather than boots. These are not trained police personnel, much less soldiers. Guarding a prison and performing public crowd control are two entirely different things, requiring quite different skill sets and levels of training.

They look like bad news, but not for the reasons trump is going for. The only prison they're guarding now is the White House bunker trump has been hiding in.

Isn't it a little pathetic? Dangerous, absolutely. Still pathetic.

10. These look like his supporters who have deputized themselves.

8. They look more like

a Trumphumper Militia........

9. Trump is scared shitless. The Cowardly BoneSpur ranger lives in the WH

11. What a fucking mess Bunker Boy has made of our country

[stillcool]

12. what a motley crew...

they seem to have some kind of an arm gesture going on, or are they leaning against something. One has police on it, one has corrections.

13. The Abbey Road album

came to mind the minute I saw this.

Sorry, I am not making light of the situation but if I could photo shop the Beatles in there, I would.

[gratuitous]

14. Meal Team Six reporting for duty

In the on the fly world of Trump, where planning is a bore and the only imperative is the appearance of getting something done, this pathetic display is less important than the fact that it's a display. As is his custom, Trump will ignore the details and brag about how he set up a perimeter or some other self-serving bullshit designed to make him look macho. The deplorables will endorse it just to pwn the libs because they don't have anything else.

15. So they have occupied the church too?

Guess no services this Sunday.

[malthaussen]

16. Dude is really scraping the bottom of the barrel now.

If this is the best he can do for fetch-and-carry boys.

17. Vlad Putin is probably laughing hysterically

Trump doesn't even realize how badly he's being played. What a colossal fool.

18. The BoneSpurs Brigade

Protecting the BoneSpurs Bunker Bastard Baby

19. If Trump wasn't cowering in the bunker last weekend...

if he wasn't scared to death by the protestors in the park...if he was just "inspecting" the bunker...then why, oh why, has the perimeter been expanded?

The perimeter has been expanded because the protesters scare Trump, and he wants them as far away from the White House as possible. Trump also doesn't like being called variants of "Bunker Boy", which I find hysterical.

20. Practicing what he'll do when he refuses to leave the WH after his defeat.

I believe he will actually do this, by the way. He will not leave peaceably, but it's even more and more looking as if he will cancel the upcoming elections. I know that he cannot do that legally. But all the things he's done that are illegal are being ignored or covered up (and have been his entire life), but now he's got Barr running around physically enabling him to do so and ordering officers of the DOJ to do what he tells them. Who the fuck would stop him?

21. I see a covid outbreak in the making. Good riddance.

[sarge43]

22. Yup. How many of those 'tough' guys will be standing by the end of June.

Died because Moron is a bunker bitch.

23. Come and Trump It?
