Quite a bit of government employment is actually located in Virginia, or in the Maryland suburbs.
Since the subway system simply does not have the capacity of moving the crowds expected to arrive NO ONE will be commuting to work.
Too bad they don’t close them permanently!
Its what happens after the inauguration that worries me.
Millions of people on foot in subzero weather not allowed to bring anything in like portable chairs, backpacks food or water, one toilet per 6,000 people, a police official or persons of authority for every 5 people.
This sounds like something out of Winds of War, where do they drop off their gold teeth and jewelry?
Welcome to what you voted for America.
I just flew into DC this afternoon, and pictures of wussybama are everywhere, even on my Metro subway passcard.
I’m staying several blocks from the WH, and most of the streets surrounding the WH are closed off already.
They also have the Inauguration booth set up for the Wussybama on the north lawn of the WH.
DC sickens me.
The national guard is being mobilized for this. Seems crazy to burden folks who have already done tours in Iraq and Afghanistan with this too.
This on top of yesterday’s announcement that 395, 695, and other major roads would also be closed.
Basically it means stay away from DC on the 20th.
Something must have triggered this, it’s unprecedented and seems excessive for mere crowd control.
Hmmm, didn’t this last happen in 1861?
Washington. D.C. is going to be a great place to stay very far away from on Inauguration Day. The best thing would be to have a reprise of the second Reagan inaugural. Strong winds and temperatures in the very low teens.
