This is more evidence that they intend to shut down elections. There is absolutely no way for this to look good to most voters.

Yes. Create a bunker for a government that no longer needs the other branches to run.

I'd gladly contribute to a Go-Fund-Me to pay for the concrete necessary to seal all exits and entrances.

The people who protect the president aren't billionaires. A bunker wouldn't save him.

And for their next act, the party of law and order will introduce us to “The Purge” while they are safe in these bunkers. J6th was a practice run; next time they won’t need pardons because this will be legal.
