Snort. What are the chances that the National Guard remains on patrol at the bridges "in the interest of safety"?
Like it mattered at all that they were there?

Same as airport security. Psyops. Like the warnings to keep people off balance. Should we start a pool to see who can guess when ashcruft will put everyone 'on highest alert' next?

Only a commie traitor could object to le power grabs at a time when alerts are clearly critical to the survival of the entire nation and its way of life!
