Does the WH serve food? Is it catered in?? Are WH tours with school children allowed?
Surrounded by guards?? etc etc etc

All those tables with umbrellas look so out of place, like they belong around a pool that is inexplicably missing. How absurd.

Not only is it sexist but they started playing that after last formation when I was in the Army. 90-93.

We didn’t know what to do - at attention? Parade rest? Once it was determined that we could just stand there we asked do we HAVE to stand here and listen to this crap? (Not that we could avoid it - it was blaring over the speakers) We made a point of loudly cussing and walking away.

While militias run rampant in American cities...

If tomorrow all the things were gone I'd worked for all my life
And I had to start again with just my children and my wife
I'd thank my lucky stars to be livin' here today
'Cause the flag still stands for freedom, and they can't take that away

Now, it'll cost us again when we undo the bordello scheme he's used, inside and out. He's cost us our elections, our country, and he just keeps screwing us over and over again by taking OUR hard earned money to use on HIS desires. A pure, unadulterated pox on him.

All that green shrubbery covers up the full, malignant parking lot appearance of trump's desecration. And those umbrellas are a lot more amusing when closed up, making them appear like big golden dicks.

Topless is legal in DC, and this Saturday, August 23, is GoTopless Day!

Celebrate on your local White House patio!!

AI Overview
Yes, it is legal for women to be topless in Washington, D.C. GoTopless.org reports that DC law does not prohibit female toplessness in public. This aligns with the stance of other states and cities that have decriminalized or legalized female toplessness.

One would hope the roses were not destroyed but replanted elsewhere for conservation and rightful return.
