WASHINGTON (AP) — Security officials will soon scale back the perimeter fencing surrounding the Capitol in response to guidance from the U.S. Capitol Police that “there does not exist a known, credible threat” that warrants keeping the temporary barrier in place.

The fencing will be scaled back in two phases, Timothy Blodgett, the acting House sergeant-at-arms, said Monday in a memo to members of Congress and their staff.

An inner perimeter will be moved closer to the Capitol building this week, providing access to nearby streets and some sidewalks. Strings of razor wire atop the fence will also be removed and bike racks will be placed strategically around each of the House office buildings. Blodgett said an inner perimeter around the Capitol will remain, however, as security repairs are made to the Capitol building.

“security repairs “?

Not security enhancements?

Does the repairing include upgrading the operation/function of Capitol PoPo?

Straight from the top no-less, the “Big Guy” says if they can’t do a Toy Story themed fence, take the damned thing down.

Assh*le Liberals can understand how ridiculous the whole thing looks and getting shamed into removing the fence.

“The fencing will be scaled back in two phases”

1 adding a mote with alligators
2 electrifying the fence

Capitol Police say “there does not exist a known, credible threat” that warrants keeping the barrier in place.

Let's keep this on the front burner ...... what did Pelosi know and when did she know it?

TAXPAYERS DEMAND A 911-TYPE INVESTIGATION INTO SPEAKER PELOSI’S ACTIVITIES LEADING UP TO JAN 6.

TAXPAYERS DEMAND PELOSI GIVE ANSWERS AS TO WHY SHE DID NOT PROTECT OUR HOUSE ON JAN 6.

<><> ** What conversations did she or her staff give Sergeant at Arms Paul Irving specific to January 6th?

<><>** What response did Pelosi give tax-paid security officials when tax-paid National Guard support was initially requested?

<><> ** Why is Pelosi Refusing to Turn Over tax-paid Official Public Documents WRT US Capitol Security?

<><> ** Why are tax-paid House Officers refusing to turn over tax-paid documents relevant to that day?

Representatives Jim Jordan (R-OH), Devin Nunes (R-CA), Rodney Davis (R-IL) and James Comer (R-KY) are asking Speaker Pelosi to explain her decision to deny tax-paid National Guard support on January 4th.

I hear they’re going to put in a moat filled with bottled water.

Perhaps just a moat with a drawbridge and some aligators

LOL

Don't tell me repentance and personal reform are not possible for any one of us.

Next time make it perfect with a vegan seaweed burger, a prairie grass salad and a nutritious green Jamba juice. Yum.
