Aww. How cute. Someone doesn't like being called out as a troll. Boo hoo.

There are 25,000 troops in DC chief. You don't have much longer to show your arse. It's going down.

Incorrect. She does not have that authority. The DC guard is federal. They answer to POTUS, not the DC mayor.


I should have stated that more clearly. The mayor requested the assistance although I don’t see Trump’s direct approval mentioned.

CNN - Pentagon approves DC mayor's request to deploy National Guard for upcoming demonstrations
quote:

Washington(CNN) Acting Defense Secretary Christopher Miller on Monday approved a request from the mayor of Washington to deploy DC National Guard forces to the city to support local authorities during pro-Trump demonstrations scheduled in the city this week, a defense official told CNN.

Mayor Muriel Bowser made the request Thursday in a letter addressed to Maj. Gen. William J. Walker, the commanding general of the DC National Guard, in which she referenced protests in the city in November and December that "resulted in a large influx of participants, violence and criminal activity."

Can you send me a rough draft of your Vox article? I'd love to see what you have so far.

It is for the left to say “See how much of a threat the right is.”


Meanwhile the right will go to work this week and won’t even watch the inauguration on TV.

But what is it precisely that you believe is going down, and who made the decision. I seriously have no idea.

It is freaking weird that Trump would have ordered all these NG and barricades, etc. without making a big show about how “safe” he’s keeping Biden.

It’s also weird that we need a full on military presence for a Zoom call. I don’t remember this before any other Presidential inauguration but maybe I wasn't paying attention and this is normal security for it.

I legit have nothing and I’m confused.

This isn't that though. There are far more than the DC guard there. There are troops from all 50 states involved in this.

Well... having lived in DC I can answer part of this.

Believe it or not 15k National Guardsmen will be hard pressed to present a large show of force throughout DC because you can't swing a dead cat without hitting a massive government building. And they need to guard those buildings 24 hours a day.

The Capitol Police Force is, to be frank, broken right now. DC itself is carved up into little police fiefdoms so the DC PD probably only has access to something like 50 percent of the city.

If you want to keep trouble from breaking out you don't go with the absolute minimum amount of personnel you think will do the job. You go with a modified version of the Powell Doctrine. You use over whelming force and keep crazed dingbats from doing stupid things.

This is what they did during the BLM protests but they brought in the Border Patrol and the Bureau of Prisons personnel as well as Guardsmen.

There were flyers posted for an armed protest on the 17th in DC & 50 States. Ultimately Milley decided, but Trump would had to have ordered it or else he looked even worse after he was accused of inciting.

Pelosi ordered a hack never Trumper General to oversee. Pelosi is ordering like she is a Queen and powers of the executive branch as she ordered the R's that spoke out on the Biden voter fraud---- to be criminally found as seditious.

The 'armed' protests will be blamed on Trump & or Q. Even though Trump called for peace they deleted these videos.

It was ordered to protect the impeachment vote and Congress/DC and the inauguration...

As the Obama's, Clinton's, Biden's, Bush's will be photo OPing at the tomb of the unknown soldier afterwards.

So it is to protect the elite. All while they use covid as cover to explain no crowd. The elite want lots of coverage as the establishment shall be protected.

We are essentially London & the CCP now.

Mass arrests. As far as who made the decision? Hard to say. Trump has, for the most part, stayed out of this stuff. All I know is that they're all about to be rounded up.

It’s *definitely* a big secret master plan by someone to do something huge and explosive and secretive. Definitely. It may or may not involved Trump staying in office or Sidney Powell. It will either happen today, or tomorrow, or by 1/20, or by sometime in March.


Such an original and witty comment.

BoarEd, unfortunately that picture is misleading. It was cropped. The building in the background is the Longfellow Building i believe. The Capitol building is to the right. The bolts are actually inside the fence, not outside. Just an fyi.
