“The current state of the Capitol Complex fundamentally undermines that message, and we urge an end to it,” they said.

They’re right, and the first move to end it is to expel Greene, Boebert, et al., and elect reasonable and responsible replacements.

House GOPers Call For Capitol Fencing To Be Removed

Speaker: Well, gentlemen, since you don’t want to be fenced in, we’re moving your offices to some doublewides set up on the mall.

[“We urge you to remove the barbed wire fencing surrounding the Capitol and send the National Guard troops home to their families,” the group wrote in the letter addressed to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA). “It’s time. It’s time for healing and it’s time for the removal of the fencing so the nation may move forward.”]

I guess when you’ve annihilated your opposition (Democrats) that’s “healing” for some people.

"It’s time for healing and it’s time for the removal of the fencing so the nation may move forward.”

When all the seditionist, insurrectionist, terrorist cop-killers who defiled the flag, the constitution, and everything our nation holds sacred are in the dock – all the way up to those criminals in the House, Senate, and Oval Office who took a traitorous dump on their oaths of office – THEN we can move on and heal.

But not one second earlier.

I believe the next “Second Qoming” event is set for March 3rd…the original date for inaugurations, when Who? is supposed to ascend the throne.

I would definitely keep all security in place till after that time.
