(on TV) Patrol boats visible on the Potomac, behind the Lincoln Memorial

[Stinky The Clown]

As we honor, remember, and mourn the 400,000 fellow Americans who have needlessly died due to Covid and more so due to the dereliction of duty, the city is shut down due to an incited insurrection and we have PATROL BOATS ON THE fucking Potomac fucking RIVER.

2. I noticed all of the red/blue flashing lights all around the Capital.

A sad night for DC that so many vehicles/people are needed to ensure a peaceful transition.

3. I think I saw something fly by the Washington Monument

About 1/3 of the way up. Drone?

4. How about some helicopter gunships in the air for good measure?

5. The Potomac is a standard spy/murder locale in lots of novels

So, they'd better damn well be lighting it up today and tomorrow!

6. "Look! A boat parade!"
