Today, Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-DC) released a statement calling on the U.S. Capitol Police to allow sledding at the Capitol tomorrow and next week in anticipation of a snowstorm.
“The west side of the Capitol is well known as perhaps the best place for sledding in D.C.’s high-density urban environment. Annually, I get a provision included in the Legislative Branch Appropriations bill directing the Capitol Police to allow sledding on Capitol grounds. While the Capitol complex has been closed since the attack on the Capitol on January 6, 2021, sledding can be done safely by allowing only children and adults accompanied by children with sleds or other sled-like devices to use the Capitol grounds for sledding.
“This could be the only snowstorm D.C. gets this winter, and may be one of the best for sledding in years. Children and their parents should be able to enjoy sledding on one of the best hills in the city.
“Children across America have endured an extremely challenging year, and D.C. children in particular have not only endured the coronavirus pandemic but now the militarization of their city, with the hostile symbols of fences and barbed wire. Sledding is a simple, childhood thrill. It is the least we can allow for our resilient children this winter season.”
Wow. She actually sounds rational and reasonable.
Give me a break.
Translation: Please don’t machine gun the black kids sledding down the hill. It is not a second wave invasion of white, Trumpers looking to break another window.
She probably has a wife and 2 adopted boys.
You don’t know who Eleanor Holmes Norton is?
That’s all they’ve been doing for years is sledding along.

Fun?
In Democrat City?
Do the Satanic Deep State Creeps even know the meaning of the word?
Not to me. She doesn't even seem to be aware that the police don't make the laws, they enforce them. If she wants to change the laws, she has to go to the bureaucrats that made them.
Most everyone knows who these stooges in D.C. are. Most have been there for decades and have made life long careers of lining their own accounts, selling influence, ripping off and deceiving the voters, some of whom are so stupid they still think their votes count.
40+ years ago, a child friend and I were in DC as 12 year-olds. We roamed the Capitol completely unmolested until we came across our congressman’s office.
We were curious what it looked like, so we opened the door, where we saw a secretary. She very pleasantly asked what we wanted and, surprised, we stuttered the town we were from.
She could have told us to go away, and we wouldn’t have minded, but she invited us in, and told us - ‘oh, the Congressman would love to meet you. can you wait a few minutes until he’s done with his meeting?’
So we did, and sure enough, we met with our Congressman and chatted for 10 minutes. Turns out he went to my high school…. That my FRiends, is representative democracy.
Is DC still like that?
And they want to make Washington DC a state?
they’ve gotta take advantage of the that white stuff while they can...
AOC going to claim right wingers are trying to kill her while sledding
What a great opportunity for right-wing terrorists to finish the coup and take Biden out!
Who is going to lead the kiddies past the concertina wire?
I sense another executive order to be signed.
