![So everyone knows, lights going out on a timer at 11:00pm is not normal... [1672x980 - 279KB]](https://poal.co/static/images/iyjWC3.jpg){kind=link}
It is customary for the lights to be turned off at the White House 11:00 each evening.
Customary? To create a security issue?
Just because lights are off doesn't mean security turns in for the night. They don't shut off the cameras or motion sensors or put the alligators in a cage and drain the moat /s.
My statement still stands. Lights out=increased security risk. The President is most important individual in the country. Every precaution must be taken. Unless he isn't there. Then fuck it. Turn the lights off
No it is not customary. I lived in DC and would drive visitors past there following late nights out at clubs/bars and it was always lit up and traffic was non-existent so we would drive very slowly and look for lights on in the upper floors. All of the monuments were also lit up.
You're not the only one who has been around the White House at night.

The New York Times reported that the White House shut its external lights off during demonstrations early Monday morning, while Daily Beast editor Molly Jung-Fast also wrote that the lights were down. In fact, the lights at the White House are turned off at 11 p.m. every night.
Kaitlan Collins ✔ @kaitlancollins As someone who has done many late night live shots, the lights at the White House go off every night around 11 p.m. 15K 1:27 PM - Jun 1, 2020
Same thing is said here:
Lights that normally illuminate the exterior of the White House were disabled early Monday morning, leading to some reports that the Secret Service wanted to use night-vision equipment to monitor protesters. White House Deputy Press Secretary Judd Deere told Fox News on Monday, however, that the lights were turned off due to “standard protocol," not for security reasons. The complex's external lights are normally disabled at 11 p.m. ET unless specific requests are made to keep them online, including by media networks.
(Judson P. Deere is an American political advisor who served as Special Assistant to the President and Deputy Press Secretary in the administration of 45th United States President Donald Trump.)
So has anybody even got a glimpse of Biden and company coming or going from the White House day or night? Certainly someone could be able to keep a watch on that. Just wondering.
Not once. Not once have i seen him or anyone entering or leaving the Whitehouse ike Trump did ALL THE FREAKIN TIME. Not once.
