POTUS should have Army protect the Federal District (Mall WH Capital etc).

Leave the rest of the city to the Mayor. Let it burn.

OK, this is me with my tin foil hat on, so flame as you wish.

I am finding it very curious that several current and retired military officers have made statements that appear to be veiled threats of insubordination within the ranks.

You have Gen. Esper trying to remove the active duty military from their forward stationing position and back to their home base.

Then you have Pelosi, et. al. screaming about the use of federal law enforcement officers being deployed to assist the Secret Service officers in protecting the White House and POTUS.

You now Bowser trying to remove the National Guard soldiers from DC. and the lackadaisical police response to the looting and rioting.

So, my tin foil hat says that the deep state has failed, for three years to force PDJT out of office with the Russia, Russia hoax, and failed with the three months long impeachment attempt. The pandemic lock downs did not move the support needle. The riots are not moving the needle against PDJT, in fact it is giving him more support.

What is left? A military coup, but not by using military members. This coup, if it is to be successful, requires the White House defenses to be overwhelmed by “rioters” storming the White House, hopefully capturing PDJT, but capturing the White House will suffice.

As soon as the PDJT is removed then the military will move in until “an election can be held,” (without PDJT or any conservative on the ballot). And, as if by magic, the riots will cease.

The president has a good secret service who will not allow him to be ‘captured’. I think the liberals do want to torch the whitehouse and claim Trump is no longer president by their demand. However, it’s game on at that point.

Scratch a democRAT. Uncover a tin horn dictator.

Who on earth gave these low level flunkies the right to upend the 1st Amendment (freedom of worship) and the 2nd Amendment (right to have and bear arms?

Plenty of hotels just over the line in Maryland.
Time for Larry Hogan to prove he’s actually a Republican.

For almost 4 years now there have been rumors and articles discussing the radical left’s desire for the denial of candidate Trump from winning and then his removal, even before inauguration. Obama set up his former campaign group to try to prevent Trump’s winning and then to disrupt his presidency.

The Russia Russia hoax was part of the attempt to get rid of him. The riots were predicted by many on the left 3+ years ago and planning has been ongoing since.

PDJT had to have known this was a possibility and has taken steps to protect his presidency as best as possible. Will it be enough? I don’t know but the military leadership’s apparently being onboard with getting rid of PDJT and the DC Mayor’s attempt to clear the battlefield in DC makes me wonder if they are connected.

And, I don’t know f it is true, but there is word that Bowser is going to cancel the curfew for Saturday. Free for all for the radicals to mass and do damage to DC and to try to breach the White House.

I’m sure the Secret Service wants to move PDJT out of DC but he won’t allow it because it would make him look weak.

For years there has been discussion about riot control techniques involving sound or high frequency devices. All non-lethal. But that stuff never gets deployed and used. It will be quite interesting if a huge crowd assembles this weekend and it just “dealt with” by the push of a button.

Did not President Dwight Eisenhower send federal troops to Little Rock to make certain black children could attend public schools. Then why can’t President Trump send federal troops to make certain the the Utah National Guard can stay in the hotels of Washington, D. C.? If for no other reason, isn’t the Mayor trying to obstruct interstate commerce?

He has no power over the National Guard. Only the acting governor Trump appointed has that power.

National Guard can be federalized.
Potus is still the cinc of the National Guard.
