Good morning from Washington where the perimeter around the White House has been expanded - guarded by what we believe are federal prison riot control officers

(25,979 posts)Mismatched trousers, mismatched shirts, mismatched helmets and shields. Some of them look to be wearing tennis shoes rather than boots. These are not trained police personnel, much less soldiers. Guarding a prison and performing public crowd control are two entirely different things, requiring quite different skill sets and levels of training.
They look like bad news, but not for the reasons trump is going for. The only prison they're guarding now is the White House bunker trump has been hiding in.
Isn't it a little pathetic? Dangerous, absolutely. Still pathetic.

(32,626 posts)they seem to have some kind of an arm gesture going on, or are they leaning against something. One has police on it, one has corrections.

Sorry, I am not making light of the situation but if I could photo shop the Beatles in there, I would.
gratuitous
(82,849 posts)In the on the fly world of Trump, where planning is a bore and the only imperative is the appearance of getting something done, this pathetic display is less important than the fact that it's a display. As is his custom, Trump will ignore the details and brag about how he set up a perimeter or some other self-serving bullshit designed to make him look macho. The deplorables will endorse it just to pwn the libs because they don't have anything else.

(2,657 posts)if he wasn't scared to death by the protestors in the park...if he was just "inspecting" the bunker...then why, oh why, has the perimeter been expanded?
The perimeter has been expanded because the protesters scare Trump, and he wants them as far away from the White House as possible. Trump also doesn't like being called variants of "Bunker Boy", which I find hysterical.

(2,596 posts)I believe he will actually do this, by the way. He will not leave peaceably, but it's even more and more looking as if he will cancel the upcoming elections. I know that he cannot do that legally. But all the things he's done that are illegal are being ignored or covered up (and have been his entire life), but now he's got Barr running around physically enabling him to do so and ordering officers of the DOJ to do what he tells them. Who the fuck would stop him?
