Biden Inaugural Like Baghdad: Green Zone, Red Zone, Military Checkpoints to Enter and Leave Downtown D.C., Bridges Into City to Be Closed
GP ^ | 01/16/21 | Kristinn Taylor

In the days leading up to the Biden inaugural, the nation’s capital has been turned into an occupied military zone like Baghdad.  Armed troops authorized to use lethal force are manning checkpoints to enter and leave downtown Washington, D.C.  Green Zone and and Red Zone perimeters have been established. Several bridges into the city from neighboring Virginia are scheduled to be closed next week for the inaugural.

Sean Spicer, President Trump’s first press secretary and current Newsmax TV host, posted video apparently taken Friday night that shows a military checkpoint to leave D.C. near the Lincoln Memorial. The video also shows cars on 16th Street near K Street parked in rows blockading the roadway. But first, a scene-setter report by Spicer’s Newsmax co-host Lyndsay Keith from 16th and K in the daytime.

Spicer’s nighttime video:

Another report on checkpoints to leave D.C., “A friend just called me from his car in DC, he was dropping his wife off at her office in NW. They had to go through an Armed Checkpoint to enter the city! Leaving the city, he had to stop at another Armed Checkpoint.
He was required to show his ID. #UnlikeAnElection”

Four of the main bridges in and out of D.C. from Virginia will be closed for 48 hours around the inauguration. Two bridges from Virginia to D.C. are not set to be closed: Key Bridge from Rosslyn to Georgetown and Chain Bridge from McLean to Canal Rd. near the Palisades neighborhood.

The Secret Service posted a detailed list on Thursday of the streets blockaded by military checkpoints and divided into a Green Zone and Red Zone.

Really are not acting like people who won fair and square and supposedly want to heal a divided nation.

To believe they are doing this as protection from Patriots would be naive. The Left is about to completely lose its sh!+.

The Roach Motel on a human scale - they check in, but they don’t check out.

One giant prison compound.

What are the chances of another Kent State? I know there are element hoping for that. They can blame Trump.

One would think he was caught between Iraq and a hard place.

(You have to laugh, otherwise you will either cry or revolt.)

Yep, that doesn’t look at all like an occupying force.

It’s what usurpers do when they gain power despite the will of the majority. Anyone wish to bet me Biden will have personal bodyguards despite Secret Service?

Everything they should have been doing against Antifa and BLM rioters they are doing to law-abiding citizens.

House impeachment will be used by the out-party as a periodic club to wound a first-term president. President-elect Biden should beware. (VDH)

Petition to impeach Joe Biden:

https://conservativechange.com/petition/impeach-joe-biden/

A article to Impeach Biden filed this week
Next week, file two articles of impeachment against him
The week after, file 3 articles of impeachment against him
The week after add one more and ...etc etc etc

Why is Trump going along with this? Is he just signing anything they put in front of him at this point?
