36. Agree, Vlyons. The next president is sworn in January 20 at noon.

For those concerned, that stupid fence wouldn't stop anything. Itm, ugly in appearance and meaning as it is, it establishes a useful boundary for the peaceful protesters filling the streets of DC and beyond. Military leaders have stated they won't move against people exercising their constitutional right peaceably to assemble.

And if there's any problem with Trump leaving the premises, that will be handled by the usual high-ups whose job it is -- empowered and backed by the will of the people.

Itm, citizens are putting the fence to fine use as a giant memorial and message wall. Love it!
