Commuters complain of awful conditions on Independence Ave, Constitution Ave, 14th Street and the 14th Street Bridge.

I thought they had decided not to do that because it would wreck the roads?

They will do it and leave DC taxpayers holding the bag to rebuild the roads sometime after the new fiscal year starts.

I hope they don’t damage the roads or the Mall which recently completed a long overdue renovation. It would be a shame to damage it especially since there is very little funding available in the National Park service budget to repair it

Not loving the image tanks occupying DC. That’s what Russia, NK and banana republics do.

I remember when there were tanks surrounding 110 by the Pentagon, before the road was moved. They're impressive, yes. But they don't belong on the Mall or on Constitution Avenue.

I am familiar with and driven both vehicles. Driving slowly down a road with said vehicles will not damage roads.

I think it’s great. Little kids will love to see these in person. People who aren’t familiar will see the equipment and men who get sent in their behalf to fight and sacrifice for America.

This is gonna be such a shitshow. I feel incredibly bad for the military but can’t wait to see it all fall flat.

but of course - they can't even do this part right. lolll, i guess, if you can laugh as it all burns:

White House officials intend to give out tickets for attendees to sit in a VIP section and watch Trump’s speech, but did not develop a distribution system before much of the staff left for Asia last week, according to two administration officials. Officials are also still working on other key crowd management details, such as how to get attendees through magnetometers in an orderly fashion.

Aren’t these details usually ironed out month in advance?
