Optics Story

 So the whole reason for marginal or minimum security on the 6th of January....was a decision by Rep Pelosi.....concerned about 'optics' of having the National Guard in place?  

Yeah....more or less.  That came out in yesterday's news.

I'm one of those people who believe that you hire people to be in charge of things....who have responsibility and tend to see beyond 'optics'.  None of this business should have been left for Pelosi to handle.  

What happens now?  The chatter is that 1,000 additional Capital Police will be hired....with a security fencing deal to be put up around the Capital building. 

Having been there and walked around the structure....you probably will spend well over one-billion (Washington DC rates) for this stupid 'wall'.  

Renaming the Capital building 'Green-Zone, DC'?  It wouldn't shock me if the fencing or wall is green, and this immediately comes up.  Giving Trump ammo to continue chatting over border walls?  Absolutely.

The optics of this?  It's best not to even talk over that problem.
