President Donald Trump was escorted to the Presidential Emergency Operations Center beneath the White House Friday night as protests escalated in Washington.
The Presidential Emergency Operations Center is a bunker-like structure underneath the East Wing of the White House that serves as a secure shelter and communications center for the President of the United States and other protectees in case of an emergency.
The New York Times broke the news: The scene on Friday night, described by a person with firsthand knowledge, added to the sense of unease at the White House as demonstrations spread after the brutal death of a black man in police custody under a white officer’s knee. While in the end officials said they were never really in danger, Mr. Trump and his family have been rattled by protests that turned violent two nights in a row near the Executive Mansion.
Protests and riots spread across the country over the weekend following the in-custody death of George Floyd in Minneapolis.

Let the Secret Service set their dogs loose on the thugs threatening the White House.
That woman on the left looks like she needs immediate medical attention
Anybody approaching the white house should be shot
Very misleading headline. On purpose? I don’t know
Has there ever been a greater return on investment than Russia has gotten with Trump?
Tonight the guard shack at the white house was burnt down. Why hasn’t the Secret Service killed each and every one of these lowlife thugs WITHOUT hesitation?
Moderators Response: Because the “guard shack wasn’t burned down”.
Who else in history condemned anti-fascists, criticised the (Lugen)press for reporting reality, and ended up hiding in a bunker?
after the brutal death of a black man in police custody under a white officer’s knee.
Assumes facts very much not in evidence.

Stop lying. The Russia hoax never made any sense at all, and has now been completely proven false. We now know that Russia did not want him elected, and did nothing to help him. So you can just keep your lying mouth shut.
0bama was pro-Russian. We have the video of him promising the Russians that after his re-election he would be “more flexible” to do whatever they liked. And we all saw how he ridiculed Romney’s statement that Russia is our adversary. Hillary Clinton was literally on Russia’s payroll. Biden, if he ever gets his hands on power, will probably be Putin’s lapdog. But Trump has been the worst president for Russia in decades. He has done everything to frustrate Russia’s ambitions and policies.
We can’t post links here, but search for “Paul Mirengoff” and “The biggest debunked conspiracy theory of them all” and you will find the evidence laid out black on white and irrefutable.
