DC Mayor announced there will be no curfew in DC tonight & massive protest planned for Sat which "may be one of the largest that we’ve had in the city."

Will they attempt to overwhelm the USSS & National Guard to breach WH?

she’s the mayor of a federal district, right? And the President’s duty is to protect federal property, yes? So what’s her problem?

In any city that is being overrun by feral zombies and whose leadership has arbitrary or no curfews on those zombies, the churches should be ringing their church bells all-night-long -all night - in protest

'That's the people's house'

DC mayor is too dense to know that, it's just figuratively and not literally or for real.

The people can't just walk in anytime they want, to any room in the house any time they want.

Isn't the mayor's paid-for-by-DCresidents house, also the DC residents' house? Can the demonstrators/rioters also enter the mayor's house any time they want?

Right now POTUS can not trust our Military leadership. I sure hope he is somewhere else on Saturday.

8th & I is just down the street.

695 to 395 to Constitution Avenue, for the Corps probably only about an 8 minute ride, for heavy traffic just use a couple of M-1 Abrams.

Mayor Muriel Bowser is part of the insurrection? Or a useful idiot...

...and noted the local government would push back against any such plan.

“Local” government in DC exists by the grace of Congress, which has Constitutional authority over a federal district of 100 square miles. The next Republican Congress should disband and reestablish the DC government.

Yes, Mayor, you're right! That's the "People's House" and them People done put the POTUS Donald J Trump right in it as their elected tenent!!!

The People's other house is current under the control of a bunch of left-wing squatters, trying to squander America's Treasury and moral values!!!

Does the DC mayoral residence have a fence?

[Candor7]

Well if there are no fences there will be bullets.

Is that what Bowser wants?

I think she wants to see piles of dead people.

November 1983
In response to the deadly attack on the U.S. Marine barracks in Beirut, Lebanon, three-foot-high concrete barricades (also known as jersey barriers) were placed at the northwest and southwest entrances to the White House Grounds. Similar barricades were erected outside the State Department and the Pentagon.

March 1988
Thick 38-inch high concrete bollards, joined by chains, were placed four feet apart along the Pennsylvania Avenue sidewalk in front of the White House fence between East and West Executive Avenues.

May 20, 1995
President Bill Clinton closed Pennsylvania Avenue in front of the White House to all vehicular traffic, a security response to the Oklahoma City bombing.

September 11, 2001
After the terrorist attacks of September 11th, new protective measures were installed outside the White House Grounds. Jersey barriers were placed around the entrances and Pennsylvania Avenue was later closed to pedestrian traffic.

November 2004
Pennsylvania Avenue reopened as a pedestrian-friendly civic space where people could stroll and bicycle between Lafayette Park and the White House fence. Jersey barriers were removed and retractable bollards were installed along the east and west ends of Pennsylvania Avenue.

July 2015
A removable anti-climb feature consisting of sharp metal points was installed on the top of the White House fence to deter any attempts by individuals to climb over the fence.

Democrats were okay with it when Obama erected Barrycades simply to keep retired tourists and veterans away from government land during his coordinated government shutdown.

Tear down that fence! Let the unruly mobs in.
