The White House on lockdown

Hiding in the bunker?

The White House on lockdown: A federal law enforcement source tells NBC that beginning tomorrow, crews will build a “non-scalable” fence to secure the WH complex, Ellipse and Lafayette Square.

250 National Guardsmen have been put on standby, reporting to Metro Police officials.

When he loses on Tuesday. He doesn’t want to see the cheering crowds making fun of him!!

And he is having a big bash Tuesday night, so he wants to keep the place secure for all his ugly, criminal, gold-plated guests.

Ugh.

This is SOOOOO not what the White House is meant to be.

He is treating OUR President’s Residence like his own private residence.

Can’t wait for this election to be finished so we can begin to get rest, start eating better, sleeping better, getting COVID-safe exercise. All in preparation for taking over in January 2021.

It’s going to get rougher before Inauguration Day, but we can get thru this.

Time is ticking down Donnie. You are going to be done, and find yourself without a home very soon. Hope Mar-a-Lago is ready cause that’s the only place that will welcome you.

59. Possible scenarios:
Mon Nov 2, 2020, 12:36 AM
Nov 2020

1. Trump is digging in because:

If the Dems win the election, he thinks they will come around in huge numbers, overpower the secret service, and hang him from the nearest lamp post.
Said Dems are more likely to go home, smile a lot, and relax, for the first time in years.

OR

He will Tweet his followers, the bikers for trump, the proud (sad) boys, the armed Trump humpers, who will roam the streets and loot, pillage and rape just to show America Trump is a sore looser.
The fence around the WH is to ensure the blood crazed Trump supporters don't get carried away and get blood on the White House lawn.

OR

Trump is going into extended hiding.
(Correct response: Switch power and water off to the White House, block all deliveries of food, water, adult diapers, Junior's drug deliveries. Disrupt/disconnect all mobile phone access. Marine 1 develops mechanical issues and can't be flown.
WH staff, all out! And the clincher: remove his golf clubs!)

OR
He is planning to keep the 400 invited election night guests as hostages and human shields if he loses. The wall is to keep them in.

FatNixon is exactly right. Oh and those 250 NGs? They're there in case the rightful owners of that building decide to show up to speak our minds. Putting them under the control of dc police is just fluff dressing.

Keep pushing, Donnie. Lose, piss us off and you'll see up close how 'unscalable' those walls are.

Let’s turn the area into Trump prison. Joe Biden can take over the Trump Hotel Post Office Complex for his work space.

We can sell tickets for people to come see the orange orangutan behind his wall. He can apply for parole in, say, 20 years. (Parole denied).
