National Guard calls up even more troops to guard Washington, DC. Now up to 26,000 troops

Spokesman Review
WASHINGTON — All through downtown Washington, the primary sound for several blocks was the beeping of forklifts unloading more fencing.
There were no cars or scooters and seemingly no tourists Wednesday, just the occasional jogger and multiple construction crews at work. The U.S. Capitol, which proved such a soft target last week, was visible only through lines of tall, black fence.
Two blocks from the White House, a group of uniformed National Guard troops emerged from a tour bus and headed into a hotel as a state of lockdown descended on Washington that will last through the Jan. 20 inauguration. The number of National Guard troops coming to Washington to assist law enforcement with security has grown to about 26,000, officials said Thursday.
D.C. Police Chief Robert Contee estimated Wednesday that more than 20,000 National Guard members would be active in the city on Inauguration Day. But officials said Thursday that the number has grown to 26,000 based on additional requests from law enforcement agencies.

This is all about pushing optics to fuel a narrative. Nothing more.

It’s about to go down in DC.

What a joke. Isn’t the inauguration going to be via zoom or some shite anyway?

See if y’all had followed the Q thread instead of laughing at it you would know exactly what is going on.

I just heard the national mall has not decided if it will close on the 20th. And Boogaloo is expected to protest on the 17th. Who are they? I thought Biden said don't come it was virtual. Or did the dems decide covid wasn't bad?

Yeah, but these optics look like the Berlin Wall.

When you can deploy more troops to a city than are allowed in a sporting arena these days, it says a lot about how secure you think your position is.

This whole thing is seeming fishy.

Didn’t work so well when the UK tried this with military as seat fillers in the London Olympics.

President Trump is the only one with authority.

I have a feeling Antifa will be masquerading as Trump supporters @ the inauguration. They will be in place to kick shite off. Trump supporters will catch the blame for crashing the presidential inauguration.
You see these Antifa shits are being radicalized like Muslims, they are maneuvering to blend with the general population rather than wearing a uniform. All their tactics we’ve seen while fighting the war on terror in the Middle East. They are bringing these tactics to the streets of America.

Big to do about nothing. There will NOT be thousands of armed MAGA in washington for inauguration

I've read the Q thread religiously and what I'm really worried about is if they shut down the Tigerdroppings Shopping store if all hell breaks loose. I need to have my coozies in the event the armed PB militia needs to meet up.
