There were about 8,000 Guard from many states at Trump’s inauguration.

There is nothing going down and the increase is because more support has been requested by the civil authorities involved and/or impacted by the inauguration.

Pelosi queen or not can't do this, only Trump has this kind of authority. He would have had to OK it no way they could make this kind of troop movement without it.

Were they armed? Because they are armed right now. I don’t remember any reinforcement security for the BLM Riots being armed. In fact I remember some antifa weirdo got shot in the balls with a rubber bullet.

Who exactly is the NG shooting at?

One of two things with no in between:
1. Our government is about to be arrested.
2. To protect the populace from crazed Trump supporters/delegitimization of all things DJT.

If it’s # 1, the greatest show on earth.

If it’s # 2, massive photo op w/ military and our new overlords.

Unless he is no longer in charge.

He’s only being heard from via what amount to hostage tapes.

This isn't that though. There are far more than the DC guard there.

Right. The DC NG was the first step and occurred prior to Jan 6. After Jan 6, more and more troops got called up.

I honestly don’t think anything will happen. I think this is more about sending a message to viewers that the people who oppose Biden & the Democrats are so dangerous, the military is needed to stop them. Who knows how that will be used down the road?

1.) Military is either there for Trump.

2.) There for Biden to protect everyone from Trump.

One of those people is the acting president and the other is not.

Think logically.

Decide wisely.

As crazy as that is, it makes as much sense as any other “explanation” I’ve seen.

Because the Dems/media are playing at another level. There will be no unrest. I'll give you the headlines next week.

"Biden is so great, they foresaw the problem and addressed it ahead of time and warded off any shenanigans. If only Trump would've been as non-inflammatory as Joe and had foresight we could've saved some lives at the Trump rally"

And the public will eat it up.

There is a difference between “armed” and “carrying live ammo”.

Several were armed as requested by the LFA for the type of support they were providing at Trump’s inauguration.

This is just plain WEIRD. Who the hell are they shooting at and why are they ARRESTING people? Don’t we have a rule we can’t deploy troops against our own citizens?

quote:

A total of 15,000 National Guard troops — some of whom will be armed — will help provide security in Washington, DC, in the run-up to President-elect Joe Biden’s inauguration, according to a report.


quote:

The Army also said it was working with the FBI to identify people who participated in the attack on the Capitol attack, adding, “any type of activity that involves violence, civil disobedience, or a breach of peace may be punishable under the Uniform Code of Military Justice or under state or federal law.”


This is freaking me out.
