'Non-scalable' fence to go up around White House before election: report
by Aris Folley
A "non-scalable" fence will reportedly be installed around the White House one day before ballots are cast on Tuesday as concerns mount over potential unrest on Election Day.
According to CNN, the fence will be similar to the barrier that was erected along the White House's perimeters earlier this year amid widespread protests following the police killing of George Floyd in late May.
The fence will reportedly go up on Monday around the Ellipse and Lafayette Square, on 15th Street and Constitution Avenue NW, as well as 17th Street and on H Street NW.

...it'll collapse on its own. But even a decent, reinforced barrier won't last long against a tank.
Does Dim Don know that Tuesday is Election Day? This wall would have to be erected in a matter of hours overnight. In the meantime, maybe Li'l Don-Don might want to review footage from the Branch Davidian siege at Waco to see how things work out for barricaded cults.
