Much of the National Mall is set to close to the public ahead of Inauguration Day in Washington, D.C., another security crackdown as armed men and women in military uniforms guard streets, federal buildings and monuments including the Lincoln Memorial. Several bridges between D.C. and Virginia also will be closed. Businesses have boarded up their windows near the zone of closed-off streets where President-elect Joe Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris are set to be inaugurated on Wednesday. Several bridges between Washington, D.C., and Virginia will be closed for the inauguration next week.
The National Parks Service and U.S. Park Police said
Quite the show of force the deep state is putting on for the edification of us rubes and bible-thumpers.

The underlying cause is fear of COVID. They were trying to cancel this thing way before the 6th.

Cutting off the city from the south entirely. Interesting.

The Dems are in fear of the American People. This show of force would be more appropriate to Red Square than the National Mall. They took the elections by deceit, and are trying to put the Candidate in place by using the Military. Now you may ask, who dispatched the National Guard to occupy D.C.? The answer is what was once the duty of the sitting President was turned over to the Dept. of Defense during the 1940's.

Do the Democrat controlled FBI, DOJ and Pentagon have to put any more fear of retribution into GOP Senators and House members? The Repubs are already apologizing to their black constituents for questioning Biden’s win. In addition to 25,000 heavily armed troops, concertina wire, 12 ft high barriers and armored vehicles, the DNC is having the troops close bridges into and presumably out of DC.

They just don't want Democrats trashing the place like they did in 2009 and 2013.

Quite a lot of hub bub for a guy who won eighty million votes and is so popular, not to mention the inauguration is mainly virtual.

So the four access points into DC from Virginia are shut down, but you can still enter DC via any of the several dozen access points through Maryland Interesting.

Democrats should bring the southern wall material to DC and build a permanent wall around the capital. Next build a mote and some turrets with machine guns and they will be all set.

If they need to shut down all entrances to the capital, send in 20,000 armed troops with permission to use lethal force and install razor wire atop 7' fencing, maybe even they don't believe their inaugurée won the election.

More troops in DC than were ever there at any one time during the Civil War and remember Manassas (Bull Run) was all of 30 miles from DC..... let that sink in. Why have they turned DC into a military state?

#9, I don’t think they’re shutting down Key Bridge (and Chain Bridge).
What’s up with that?

Seriously, they are pulling up the moat bridges and walling off the city from Virginia radicals. Will the Metro be running? What about radicals walking in from Maryland and Delaware. This is becoming a farce. DC is trapped in an Insanity Bubble.

The democrats must fear something when Joe Biden received more votes than any president in history and very popular. What could go wrong? Why the hub bub over this guy and gal? I don't get it but I know one thing this president won't be able to leave Washington in the future like supporting a democrat campaign in let's say, Texas or Oklahoma.

With all the razor wire, bridge closings and national guard siege troops it sounds serious. The ID'ing of people leaving town is a bit weird. Or it is becoming Alcatraz on the Potomac?

It may be because Iran had an attack planned for the 20th.

I just have one question...Why would any Trump supporter want to go the sham inauguration? The only people there should be Biden/Harris dopes. So, the democrats are protecting themselves from themselves? What a waste of taxpayer dollars to bring in the National Guard.
Any Trump supporters should be traveling to Mira Lago in FL to see the rightful President. They'd be welcomed in Florida, one of the remaining bastions of freedom in the USA left. There ought to not be one MAGA hat or banner in DC. Let them eat themselves.
President Trump, many of us out here still have your back. Have the American Celebration in Florida!

Back in sane times, my 9th grade self and my younger brother used to ride the bus from suburban northern Virginia into DC, getting off at E-street, near the Mall. We'd spend a Saturday at the tiny Quonset hut which served as the "Air Museum" of the Smithsonian, with three or for actual rockets standing outside. The old red brick building was full of just fun steam engines, gun displays and more. And nearby was the US Army pathology museum......all sorts of "cool" pix and x-rays of gruesome diseases and injuries, shocking and fun for young boys of the middle '60s.
Life was simpler, better and freer then. Cowboy shows on the TV every day of the week, driving the neighbor kid's go cart in the street, helping him keep it running, sledding on the dead end hill in winter. Delivering afternoon papers on the paper route to pay for .22 rifle ammo and model airplane kits and supplies. I miss those times.

Trump supporters, and conservatives should stay out of DC on inauguration day. Leave the day for Antifa and BLM to celebrate. Any unrest cannot be blamed on the MAGA people if they are not there. Any anarchists posing as Trump supporters should be easy to disavow.

Maybe they should completely shut down the electrical power plant for Washington DC. It works with their global warming lie and avoid sparks.

Are those of the 80 million who voted for basement disappointed that they can't attend this monumental election? After all, he got the most votes of any President in American history, but we all know that honor belongs to the rightful winner President Donald J. Trump.

Wow, the "love" and "support" just pouring out for Lyin' Joe Biden is just amazing.
That man sure is going to "unite" this country (if he can ever get all that barbed wire removed between him and his "adoring fans".
The Demon-Rats are so far ahead of schedule in turning this country into a 3rd world cesspool Communist dictatorship!!!

Everything on the National Mall has been closed since last March. There's no reason to go anyway.

It looks like Biden's inauguration on the Capitol Mall will have something in common with Biden's basement, almost nobody will be there.
On January 6th the violent fiasco that took place at the unsecure Capitol building, scaring the "crap" out of the Congressional aristocracy, as crazies and fringe elements broke into the building and assaulted police officers, essentially opened the barn door and allowed all the horses to run away. In that respect none of those crazies and fringe elements are going to show up for round two when there is an overwhelming show of force in place.

There is a video on one of the sites I go to showing some kind of covered gates people have to walk thru to get to certain areas and ditches have been dug in the streets in intersections to install something that vehicles can't go over. And that's just in the first 5 minutes. there's almost 3 hours of what is going on in DC on the video.

As D. C. is today, so will the nation become as soon as the incoming regime can engineer it. Every part of the nation and its people MUST and WILL obey! This is the latest definition of "tolerance".
