Bunker Boy is back!

The question is, is this fence being built because the secret service is concerned about the safety of whomever becomes President (so if Biden wins, they realize they're gonna have lots of whackos looking to voice their opinion using the 2nd Amendment) or protecting the White House regardless of either, or is this because Turmp is planning on declaring himself immortal leader and knows he'll be facing plenty that are not going to accept that?

I think it’s a tinfoil moat designed to hold reality at bay.

It's the Trumpist violence that worries me the most. Yeah, smashing windows and looting sucks, but we've already seen what happens when diehard Trump supporters get confrontational -- they threaten violence and sometimes follow through. It's all too easy to imagine some of them responding to Dear Leader Trump losing his 'throne' by deciding a few liberals need to die, since they can't realistically get at Biden himself.

Also, it's a pretty sad commentary on Trump that he's acting like a pre-Revolution French royal, so afraid of the people he feels he must seal himself away from them. Obama deal with plenty of people who thought he was evil incarnate; he didn't feel the urge to hide.

Plenty of people felt Obama was evil incarnate, but I don’t recall conservatives rioting over it. The GOP redirected that energy towards the political process, and translated it into electoral victories across the map, from state legislatures to Congress.

We have also seen rioting and looting result in death and severe injuries.

It’s pretty sad that its within the realm of the feasible that an irrationally violent mob could easily form outside the White House under the scenario of a Trump win, especially if its a close or contested election. I suppose you could argue that Trump brought it upon himself.

I was going to mention the last part but you already know.
The President has spent much of his time intentionally drawing lines and “us vs them” speak. This is his responsibility to deal with, it is his responsibility to reach out to others.

Paranoid much Donny? Not to worry, your patriot militias will come to your aid heavily armed and more than willing to kill their fellow Americans despite the fact that you want to take their Social Safety Net programs away from them and that you think they're all suckers and losers because they fell for your scams and con jobs so willingly, so easily.

And don't expect your sycophant admin. and Repub Congressional boot lickers to form a human shield around you as your last line of defense. They've all made plans to desert your ass the moment it looks like you're going to lose your bid for another term. I mean, they're all self-serving opportunists that're devoid of morals and ethics just like you, aren't they? Otherwise they wouldn't even think about working for/with your broke dick moronic sorrowful ass, now would they?

Well if you do lose, at least it's been fun watching you make fools of your supporters. Although I have to say it was a bit frustrating hoping for McConnell to come out publicly excoriating and demeaning you for the useful idiot you've been, just like those many others who couldn't put up with your idiocy and treachery not a nanosecond longer.

 

[zinfamous]

There is really only one scenario where we have to worry about extensive property damage, and that is if Trump wins

Put your bucket over your head, that should protect you

Right, I guess it doesn't interest you that the only groups promising violence right now are Trumphumping militia members promising to show up armed at polling places, and which have already declared their intent to murder for Orange Man. And also...no real verified reports to date, of any actual real "antifa" stoking violence out west. ...but hey, we have dozens and dozens of Proud Boy types and Trumphumping violent fascists that have been arrested, pretending to be protesters on BLM side, causing damage in attempts to instigate the race wars that they have long promised in Oregon (a state actually founding on the guiding principal of "no blacks allowed") and Washington, two states with the longest-running anti-government, white supremacist militia organizations that already have a long, documented history of running anti-liberal, masked, riot operations to try and start race wars.

but hey, you don't care about the truth on the street. Just the image that you are expected to see, from those that are painting it for your well-primed brain.

 

[soundforbjt]

Hmmm...unscalable fence...Could Trump be locking himself in so he can be safe when he declares victory and declares himself President for life?

I honestly doubt he can accept that he created this.

He’s been unquestionably divisive, but it takes two to tango

I’ve acknowledged everything you wrote, but you can’t bring yourself to acknowledge that what I wrote is also true. It’s ok, I don’t expect you to.

 

[SteveGrabowski]

Do they think crazed republican's are going to storm the white house because Trump lost?

Right wing terrorists shot up the Minneapolis police station and instigated riots there as well as killed cops in California after George Floyd was lynched in an effort to start a civil war, so yeah possibly.

They didn't, but then Obama also didn't routinely promote violence and xenophobia, threaten the free press and undermine key democratic institutions. Hardline right-wingers pretended Obama was a threat to the country; Trump actually is a threat to the country.

And yes, rioting can lead to death, but there's a difference between it happening amidst the chaos and seeking it out. That's what I'm concerned about — that Trumpists who believe their man was robbed will set out explicitly to kill people, and not just one or two. Hell, it's pretty clear that "Trump train" convoy wouldn't have minded if the bus crashed.

Trump most definitely brought it on himself. This is, after all, the man who completely mismanaged the pandemic response, put kids in cages, and had protesters forcefully removed just so he could hold up a Bible for a publicity stunt. You'd be pretty angry too if your country's supposed leader genuinely doesn't care if you live or die.

Unscalable fence? Is that like the magnificent border wall that was unscalable?

Gee that was nice of them to wrap the thing in ready made hand/foot holds.

Non-scalable? How the hell is anything only 8 feet high "non-scalable"? Do they line the top with razor blades? I could touch the top of that thing without my feet leaving the ground.

Well I guess this answers that:

Election-Night White House Security Wall Provided by GOP Firm

As concerns over political turmoil grew, the Secret Service gave a $1 million fortification contract to a familiar firm.

Let's hope it not windy in DC, hate for it to blow over like his bigly bestest border wall.

 

[hal2kilo]

Lot’s of businesses are boarding up in anticipation for election day, or imploring workers who only recently started returning to the office to work from home, or at the very least leave early, out of safety concerns.

It a Fox reporting effect.
