The White House is already a bunker. The president so feared for his safety he had to hide in a

bunker within a bunker.

Anyone who has visited Washington D.C. and seen the White House Knows how much security there is. It’s very telling that the powers in charge recognize that they are helpless against the fury of the American people. They can defend against air attack and terrorists in cars and trucks, snipers too. But not against the wrath of an enraged public.

The current collapse of our society and its alleged norms, the stressors of pandemic, police murdering the citizens it swore to protect and massive unemployment should send the current administration into overdrive in efforts to save our nation. Instead we get a feckless cowardly president threatening to cry havoc and set loose the dogs of war, aka “very vicious dogs”, on its citizens. We get, too, a craven Republican senate groveling before this beasts feet, hoping for cash crumbs as rewards for betraying their oaths of office.

This president may well have to spend the rest of his, hopefully short, presidency in hiding. I wish him no physical harm, nor anyone else, but it puts a bit of a smile on my face to know he feels he has to hide in a bunker within a bunker. Actually it’s more like a grin.

Rather a bunker underneath a bunker. It is around 5 stories below ground level LiberalArkie Jun 2020 #7

MUST PROTECT DRUMPF AT ALL COSTS.

We're so fucked. All of this is not going to change anything.

THEY DON'T GIVE A SHIT. They'll let us ALL die before anyone gets within a mile of Drumpf.

Can you imagine them today? The White House going dark was a sign of weakness and a sign we have no leader.

Mark my words that focus will be on the WH from now on. It's going to get nasty. The fires got within a block a heavily secured facility. I've worked with Capitol PD, Park Police and the Service. I never thought I'd see the day when they got to the gates.

It will get worse and I wouldn't be surprised to see him flee.

He's the toughguy who said that had he been at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, he would have rushed in even if he didn't have a weapon. Whatever happened to that guy?

to having a Government afraid of its people. That is the proper balance.
