The promise of a wall at the southern border may have been a pillar of then-candidate Donald Trump's campaign in 2016, but four years later, it's a much different wall that's materialized by the end of President Donald Trump's first term.

Intimidated by the days of protests mounting outside the White House in response to the murder of George Floyd by police, a fence has been erected around the entire perimeter of the already gated White House.


Have you seen the pictures?



To many Twitter users, the fencing presented a striking image embodying Trump's refusal to comply with traditional oversight and the obfuscations of truth from the American people.

Rick Wilson—one of the former Republicans who founded the anti-Trump PAC The Lincoln Project—urged his Twitter followers to come up with a name for the new obstruction.

They didn't disappoint.






Fortunately, some of the protestors that spurred the fence's creation are now using it to amplify their outrage.



Nearly two miles of fencing has been built outside the White House. That's more than half of the new fencing that's been built at the southern border.

It seems the house's nickname—The People's House—is suspended for the time being.

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
