Well said, perfectly said as one who has been into many buildings in the DC area. No way anyone can easily waltz inside. Scary stuff.

Well said. I wish the impeachment trial could have happened before the inauguration, but I hope they still do it after he leaves office. If only to dissuade future wannabe autocrats.

Same. There definitely need to be consequences.
