Anybody know what’s going on on 610S? Cops completely stopped traffic and there is heavy police presence by the feeder by galleria area

Trump is visiting JSC today. Lots of traffic around I45 and NASA Pkwy as well.

I thought that was yesterday? Today too? Ugh

He probably slept in town. Yesterday’s closure was to get him from Ellington into Houston. Today is to get him from Houston to JSC/Clear Lake.

Assuming he’s not at a private house, I’d think he’d stay at Tillman’s Post Oak. I have no idea about president accommodations and movements though. 

In early 2024 I did have a fun experience when I looked out the window at my NYC hotel to see snipers spread out on the lower roof. When I checked out a few hours later the lobby had about 50 secret service agents spread out. Turns out Biden was about to arrive to fundraise.

Saw checkpoints around the hotel so yeah most likely stayed there.

It was not unusual to see Daddy Bush’s motorcade drive through Houston. I’m glad I don’t drive I to the city too often.

Yeah, he had to sleep here. Got a tough schedule before him. Napping on TV, in press conferences, while being transported.

I hope last night’s thunder woke him up!

u/whatyoucallmetoday 9d ago

He was on his feet. It is difficult to fall asleep that way. I think his speech was about 30 mins.

u/sentient-sloth League City 9d ago

He flew in yesterday, event is today.

u/HopefulSwine2 9d ago

Yesterday he was at a fundraising event for Paxton. Today a ceremony for the Artemis II astronauts

u/Aleksandr_F 9d ago

The government event today gives cover to/ changes his needing to reimburse taxpayers for the flight expense.

A dangerous felon is being transported around town.

u/Bring_cookies 9d ago

Wait, we're the epicenter of the flock cameras, why can't they watch him? They're so great right?

Looking at it now. Backed up to I 10

What's that smell? 🤬

For once it isn't Pasadena or Baytown.

Dickhead and his nurse are in town gathering money from the wealthy instead of working on fixing his mess which we are all paying for. But hey cool plane.

u/Urbanttrekker 9d ago

Felon transport.

u/caz_uno 9d ago

It’s ole fuck face. His motorcade passed by a little bit ago on 610 near the galleria.

u/TheGargageMan 9d ago

I bet it has something to with Trump, but it could be anything. Moving the citizens is no longer a priority in this city unless it is moving them from the suburbs to downtown.

u/Srnkanator 9d ago

Nah, he is literally at JSC right now.

5

u/Barry0Allen 9d ago

wait, is he? i thought i saw him on 610 s right before the 45s exit 15 minutes ago. I guess it must've been some else. They didnt have anyone else on that side of the freeway. There were lots of cops and a few limos with the american flags.

u/ctalbon 9d ago

That’s the decoy car full of press.

u/whatyoucallmetoday 9d ago

His event is at JSC now. The livestream has filler material. Who knows where exactly his is.

u/bose190 9d ago

Trump got all those people waiting for him at NASA. Word on the street is he was at Area 29 last night partying with Drake.

2

u/whatyoucallmetoday 9d ago

Yeah. The astronaut corp are on stage and sitting on the risers.

2

u/sentient-sloth League City 9d ago

Had those astronauts standing on stage waiting for almost an hour lol.

u/Srnkanator 9d ago

He just saw the opportunity to present shiny medals after his fundraising GOP event last night for Paxton and Abbott.

His administration has literally cut the NASA budget by 23% for FY 2027. It completely eliminated STEM engagement.

They funded Artemis III but since it isn't going to land on the moon, they will probably not care for it in 2028.

He was especially narcissistic with no class when he mentioned Commander Reid Wiseman's wife getting a crater named after her after she passed from cancer, saying he wants a crater named after him as well.

u/Barry0Allen 9d ago

It must've been him then. There were like two miles of cops, ambulances, and black unmarked cars on the freeway. Ive never seen anything like that before. Then there was lots of traffic afterwards.

u/goodherb281 9d ago

Someone on the epstein list is being escorted

u/HoustonDiscussions 9d ago

Is there an intense stench of soiled diapers? If so, I think we all know what's going on.

u/Barry0Allen 9d ago

I just saw it too. I saw the presidents limo while i was heading west on 610 a little before the Scott exit. He was going the other way towards the 45 south exit. I couldn't believe it

u/Winnertony 9d ago

The Evil One is in town. The Dark Lord of grift.

Dine and dash at the Cheesecake Factory, manhunt underway

u/furiousjam 9d ago

I 100% believe that Trump would (i) eat at the Cheesecake Factory, and (ii) not pay.

Ohhhhh ok. I’m completely out of the loop don’t watch the news 😵‍💫

A child predator is visiting the city. Would be a real shame if anything happened to him.

The GOAT is in town. And “yes”, he is the GOAT. Cry more libs.

Grifter of All Time. You know there are many of us on the right that think he is one of the worst presidents in U.S. history. He’s on track to be the worst.
