  Back when the Founders laid out the District of Columbia it was a day’s ride from the nearest state and there was no fence around the White House.  In 1922 the fence was added when the population of DC increased from 20,000 to 500,000 and the popularity of the automobile made most of the nation a day’s ride to the Capitol.  
  Congress should make the fence permanent and finally allow DC representation in the House and Senate. >

  Fencing has been reinstalled around the U.S. Capitol ahead of possible protests that could collide with President Joe Biden’s State of the Union address this week.
  The fence is the same barrier that remained around the Capitol for months after the Jan. 6 riot and during the “Justice for J6” rally, when supporters of people arrested in the attack rallied outside the building. >
  
  But members can bring guns in? Boebert will be packing and probably others too. House members bullshit >
  
  About the only way to get them to stop might be for democrats to start bringing weapons. 
  Unrelated, but I’ve heard stories where hardcore Christian “freedom of religion” people say that we should do away with “religious freedom” if it mean that the Satanic Temple also had rights and freedoms.
  Much like an entitled toddler, sometimes they’d often just destroy things than share. >
  
  Might as well install retractable walls that emerge from the ground at this point. >
