Trump is shutting down DC and a weekend-long shitshow is developing [View all]

Son lives on Capitol Hill. He is flying out of Dulles International late Friday night for Paris.

DC just sent blast email announcing area-wide road closures starting Thursday night to accommodate parade preparations.

For example -- the pics of the tanks coming in on rail cars? Now all those tanks must be offloaded from rail cars, then loaded onto tank transporters -- big trucks with lowboy trailers to haul the tanks to staging area. The tank transporters cannot turn on a dime so they need major road access. Then there's the issue of getting 6,000 troops formed up, parade, then return to staging area and go back home.

Son now is leaving home early Friday morning, Uber to Dulles for $75, then sit at Dulles for 14-16 hours waiting for his flight.

Son also said lots of DC businesses are concerned about the Proud Boys and other thugs showing up, so, many local restaurants, etc., are closing. Clearly the Proud Boys and other Jan 6ers are coming to DC to infiltrate any peaceful demonstrations.
