Fencing returns around Capitol ahead of Biden's State of the Union address

[chuckrambo]

But walls, fences and barriers don’t work. Weird

[jackoftrades]

How does it cost a million dollars to put up a fence wtf

[georgebent]

If Biden’s gonna talk about his accomplishments it won’t be a very long speech

[commonsense]

Gee I can't imagine why these corrupt criminals are living in fear of Americans who might want to provide them with some accountability.

Put the barbwire on the inside and don't let any of them out ever again without the threat of being shot on sight if they escape.

[carlr]

Where are the security guards at malls and schools, America is a joke.

[Mattrino]

1. Record high inflation
2. Record high gas prices
3. Record high crime rates
4. Record high interest rates
5. Record high border crossings
6. Failed foreign policy
7. 401K’s down 20% or more.
Spin it however you want…those are the FACTS!

[CamAlert]

You know if the government did their jobs for once and if people actually liked them then they wouldn't need to do this sort of excessiveness.

[SirAuron]

He must be ready to say something most Americans won’t like if they’re putting up a fence

[specialk]

Ha ha ha ha yet they won’t take care of the boarder’s ha ha ha!!!😅

[t.r.campbell]

What is an odd moment. Where we rally against the wall at our southern border, but we put a wall around the capital before the president speech? This is very odd.

[rlwetz]

LMAO! The Great Unifier!

Oh, and walls don't work. Ask any Democrat.
🤣

[NYCLIBTURDTRASH]

Great! It will hopefully keep him away from children.

[dailyvictory]

Why do they need fencing for the most popular president since Obama. Odd.

[winstonsmith]

Yes, fencing is needed to keep Brandon from wandering off

[andred]

My question is the country doesn't need a secure border fence but the capitol gets one just because of worries without real threats?

[scottcolegrove]

Seems kinda sick to put a fence around the Whitehouse but not on the open

[xLegehnd]

He has nothing to talk about at this speech but how much he spent on Ukraine 💀💀

[anewleaf]

Why would such a popular president need a fence...

[Kingfisher]

I hope McCarthy tears up Joes speech, we can listen to the leftists then complain about how divisive that is.

[bladehoner]

No need for fence unless there is a major negative are they afraid of their own citizens?
