There will be no mirth or merriment in the police state that is the US Capitol

| January 31, 2021

With thousands of National Guard troops and thousands of police officers in the Washington D.C. area, you’d think that it would be the safest place in the country to take your kids sledding. As D.C. prepares for a major snow storm this week, D.C.’s lone delegate to the House of Representatives Eleanor Holmes (D-DC) has been denied her routine request to allow the capitol’s hill to be used for the joy of the citizens of the district.

She released this statement yesterday;

Today, Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-DC) released a statement calling on the U.S. Capitol Police to allow sledding at the Capitol tomorrow and next week in anticipation of a snowstorm.

“The west side of the Capitol is well known as perhaps the best place for sledding in D.C.’s high-density urban environment. Annually, I get a provision included in the Legislative Branch Appropriations bill directing the Capitol Police to allow sledding on Capitol grounds. While the Capitol complex has been closed since the attack on the Capitol on January 6, 2021, sledding can be done safely by allowing only children and adults accompanied by children with sleds or other sled-like devices to use the Capitol grounds for sledding.

“This could be the only snowstorm D.C. gets this winter, and may be one of the best for sledding in years. Children and their parents should be able to enjoy sledding on one of the best hills in the city.

“Children across America have endured an extremely challenging year, and D.C. children in particular have not only endured the coronavirus pandemic but now the militarization of their city, with the hostile symbols of fences and barbed wire. Sledding is a simple, childhood thrill. It is the least we can allow for our resilient children this winter season.”

The response from the Capitol Police on the matter is;

“Unfortunately, due to the current security posture, COVID-19 restrictions, and the deconstruction of the Inaugural platform, we cannot permit sledding on the Capitol Complex at this time,” Eva Malecki, the communications director for the police department, said.

You are not permitted to have fun on government property, comrade child. Do you not believe in safety? The government will advise you when you are allowed to have fun.

Our friend Angry Cops has some reporting on the ground of how dire the security situation is at the capitol.


After watching that, perhaps children shouldn’t be around that. Being behind all those bars, barricades, and fences (which don’t work to keep people out, remember) will surely indoctrinate and accustom them to that school-to-prison pipeline we once heard about.

Sad, but true. I lived in Arlington, Va. from sixth grade on. Time has not been good to the DC metropolitan area.

Now it’s looking like the “National Security State” the liberals were warning about back then. Ironic that they are its biggest fans.

Sounds like the capital Schutzstaffel are giving the dc peeps a snow job.

That man is having much too good a time.

On the other hand, I think I like the Doughnut News Network.

Just paint the fence red and we can call DC the Kremlin.

Suppose that some drunken goddamned Kennedys show up? Ever amazing to see how the theory of related-tivity operates.

The substance and redux is more likely a case of the Capitol Police putting Eleanor Norton-Holmes, Shadow, D.C. in her place and letting her know that she is abjectly irrelevant.

Hey, Democrats, this is what elimination of that freedom you don’t like means. Sucks, don’t it?

Storm the Bastille!

Lars approves! “And wear your fucking mask!”…. even when not sledding.

Deckie

Where has he been anyway? Did he finally get a job?

OldManchu

He’s been busy whacking off every time Joe-bama signs and executive order. Between that and recover naps he hasn’t had much time to post.

He also has to let his keyboard reset some double spaces. It ran out because he uses them too much.

Sleds? On the Capitol grounds??

Nope. This is a no-fun zone. Thou shalt not have fun. How DARE you try to make something good out of a bit of snow. Keep those kids at home instead. Make certain they are properly incubated. No going outside. No physical activity. No breathing fresh air. No laughing. No release of pent up frustration. No, no, no.

And just who do you think you are anyway?

This a perfect example of where the very old adage applies, “If you have to ask permission, the answer is NO!”

Damn it. Just when I was about to head up there with my crew of Snow Tubers known as the “Masters of Mirth”, I find out, not only will Merriment be banned but Mirth too…

I assume this is in response to the request for sledding:

NEWS RELEASE 00X-01282021 DATE: Jan. 28, 2021
SPRINGFIELD, Illinois – At the request of the U.S. Department of Defense, Illinois Governor JB Pritzker has activated approximately 500 Illinois National Guard members in support of the continued security mission in Washington, D.C. The mission in Washington, D.C. will not impact the Illinois National Guard’s ability to perform the vaccination distribution mission, with 325 members of the guard already activated to carry out that mission and hundreds more to come online in the coming weeks.

I keep thinking of that 60s hippie slogan, “What if they gave a war (call up, Federalization, etc) and nobody came”.

The revolution will not be televised.

Ironic that liberals are slow on the uptake of that little gem.

Jeez. You got me. Took me a minute or two to realize that video was a joke…..it was a joke, right? Hard to tell these days.
