The White House on Friday went into lockdown as protesters shoved over temporary barricades and hurled obscenities at the Secret Service.

Videos filmed outside the White House and posted on social media showed masked protesters shoving over barricades on Pennsylvania Avenue.

When members of the Secret Service ran over, the protesters quickly raising their hands and cried, “hands up don’t shoot.”

Secret Service locked down the White House as protesters continued to demonstrate in the area.

These “spontaneous” riots have the look, feel, and smell of being orchestrated . . . just as all the resistance marches were in 2016 - 17. BLM and others under the direction of George Soros.

I would go to a dermatologist office and force him to give me botox injections for FREE.
Just kidding :)

They are in on it. The Minnesota AG is working directly with Antifa.

You need to turn off the TV or leave this country. Yeah it’s a little ugly out there but recovery is already underway.

I will concur with the riots are not coincidental. Somebody is in charge and coordinating the mess.

He’s there in the White House. Flag is flying, Fox said he was asleep last time they cared enough to cover it.

The flag flies at the WH whether or not POTUS is in residence.

Do like the Israeli’s did and pop them in the knee with suppressed Ruger 10-22’s.


Why so I SO like that idea?? Recall an Irish prayer that is apropos.

Those rioters were also hurling bottles and bricks.

At least one SS agent was hit in the head with a brick and required medical attention.

I was watching live on Fox News and Leland Vittert was doing a good job of reporting on the scene and in the crowd.

Just as things began to really get dangerous, the live coverage cut away and they didn’t give any more coverage of what was happening in front of the White House.

I’ve not seen any coverage since then, but I hope the SS kicked butt on the obnoxious rioters.

TV coverage I’ve been watching has indicated many Antifa agitators at the cities with rioters.

I’m sure the Marines are on standby.

Wonder why the rioters don’t go to the Capitol building.

“No bullets needed.”

Bullets are required, IMO.

I hope they got Melania and Barron out of there — and POTUS, of course. Is there a helipad ON the White House, without having to go to where Marine One normally lands?

“In times of uncertainty people want a strong and protective government. Fortunately, Donald Trump is President.”

The rioters are not helping their side. When the left has lost Leo Terrell, and he’s praising Trump on national TV (last night on Fox), they may have gone too far.

“I hope the demonstrators are smart enough to know when to stop.”

I hope they don’t. I hope they cross that line and pay the ultimate price.

“Could be time for the Bikers for Trump to surround and protect the White House. Thousands of them.”

And what about the elusive Oathkeepers? I’ve been hearing about them for about a decade, but never saw any. Like El Chupacabra. (Not to say they don’t exist; I just haven’t seen, or heard of, any.)

“Next time I get pi$$ed off I’m going to go out and loot a liquor store“

“Not me, I’m going straight to Saks.”

I guess I’d head for a fabric shop.

And the thugs ransacked a big cell phone store — took every single thing. They can’t USE any of them until they’re activated.
