Why aren't there any lights on at the white house? It's the middle of the day and pretty dark from snowing. The top right window is supposedly a kitchen? I'm sure there's people there that have to eat. Is this normal?

Here it is https://greatawakening.win/p/11SK7EoQkw/psa-white-house-lights-go-out-ev/
You rock! I just bookmarked it. But my gosh people just keep arguing about it! They are so desperate for it to mean something. But I haven't seen ANY evidence of the outside lights staying on past 11 while Trump was there. Grrrrr
Like please, prove me wrong. Show me any article or pictures or videos that will prove that this is in any way weird. lol
People now are so desperate for 'a sign', they are seeing faces in clouds and Virgin Marys in puddles. I have a 'thing' about insects; I often see dark specks on my white carpet, and stare at it for a while, imagining that it's moving. Then I realize, it's just a bit of fluff from my sweater.
Newsweek article said it was in response to George Floyd riots, and also said that it’s only for the death of a sitting President. Travelocity (maybe not political, but at the same time not meant for news) comment said it was in response to a protest in 2018. I suggest rereading these sources.
Are we reading the same Newsweek article? I guess we read into words what our minds want to see. From the newsweek article: "The White House has said there was nothing unusual about the building's lights going out on Sunday evening as the 11 p.m. curfew imposed on residents in Washington, D.C. fell amid protests over the death of George Floyd."
"As the 11 p.m. curfew arrived, the exterior lights outside the north side of the White House were turned off, with The Guardian reporting that "in normal times, they are only ever turned off when a president dies.""
"The White House, however, has insisted that there was "nothing new" about the lights-out incident.
"This is nothing new," White House spokesperson Hogan Gidley told Newsweek on Monday. "The White House lights go out at about 11 p.m. almost every night," he said."
Do you want to talk about Guardian saying that it only happens following a president’s death?
