Washingtonians navigate new normal: Razor-tipped wire fences and armed soldiers

Weeks after their jogging routes and day-care drop-offs were interrupted by a mob storming the U.S. Capitol, the residents of a quiet neighborhood nestled amid the national monuments are wrestling with life in a fortress, where checkpoints abut corner stores and armed soldiers are new neighbors.

  2. Welcome to the new normal.
    Haven't figured out whether the Nat Guard is there to protect the corrupticrats from us or to protect us from the corrupticrats.

  4. ...but hey, the Demonrats won the election fair and square. That's why they need an army to protect the electorate from The People or maybe it's to protect them from the vast right wing conspiracy theorists and those "insurgency movements" that are so prevalent in our society these days, just like what the intel folks see overseas.
