Serious Question: Has the WH given a reason why they turned the lights off?

[Solly Mack]

1. Jared was in charge of paying the bill?

None that I've heard. To be serious for a moment.

[brettdale]

2. Has CNN/MSNBC

HAHA.

Mentioned that the lights have been turned off?

[Solly Mack]

4. I'm watching MSNBC but nothing. Unless I missed it.

12. the more dollars Trump saves on electricity

the more he can shove in his pockets.

[smirkymonkey]

5. *snort*

Or more like, Eric stuck a fork in one of the electrical sockets again.

7. Eric needs a service boa. Quick squeeze when he says

something stupid.

[JustAnotherGen]

19. Oh!

[Solly Mack]

20. Eric would gain a new, albeit short, appreciation for wildlife

And it gives the boa something to do for a couple of minutes.

Win-win. The boa gets that sense of satisfaction that comes with helping others and Eric gets some first hand knowledge, however briefly.

I'd have called it a comfort boa but, well...you know.

15. OMG!

21. I think it's night vision. Secret Service can see EVERYTHING while protesters cannot.

What an opportunity for the SS boys to play with all the new fangle toys their massive budget allows them to buy.

AND, what a perfect opportunity to get rid of fraidy cat Donny for awhile by stashing and locking him up down in the dungeon, er, I mean, basement. Ok, the bunker. I sure hope they dusted its jewelled chandelier.

3. Shh! Little donnie is twying to hide fwom the scawy noises outside!

[fierywoman]

6. "Because I can. I have the right. If you can't see what is happening, nothing is happening."

[Nevilledog]

8. Nothing screams strength like hiding in the dark.

[lunatica]

9. When the scary trick or treaters come knocking

if you turn off the lights they’ll think nobody’s home and go away.

[Hekate]

16. Bingo

[Penn Voter]

10. Hopefully,

it is because they know the party is over!

[Ms. Toad]

11. Hide and seek -

You know a toddler believes they vanish when they cover their eyes, right?

[cayugafalls]

13. Cockroaches don't like the light.

I don't mean to offend real cockroaches...

14. Answers are in the twitter responses

17. It is normal

They turn the lights off at 11PM.

[FreeState]

22. LOL - not when I was there n/t

[sarisataka]

23. I was listening to a broadcast

Of a DC news station. They made the remark that the lights illuminating the WH go out at 11 and floodlights come on that are pointed outward. It is done for security reasons.

They didn't say how long this has been the practice, just that it was protocol "for some time now"

I've never been to DC but I don't know why local TV news would say something like that if everyone in their area would know it was false.

18. Is there some kind of secret blast shields in the windows?

[RobinA]

24. Antifa

fighter planes might figure out where it is if the lights were on.
