Why were Trump and Sund both advised not to call the NG?
Police Chief accuses House Senate Officials
According to Politico, the immediate spin put in motion by the MSM was Pence-as-President, pushing the claim that Trump sat by and did nothing....CNN, NBC, The New York Times and others all reported that it was Pence, not Trump, who spoke to the Pentagon and called up the Guard. Even as Mark Short later acknowledged for Politico that there had already been a call for the NG and Pence basically just added his voice to the urgency.
Trump spoke until about 15 minutes after 1pm. Sund recalls "The first wave of MAGA supporters arrived at the Capitol at 12.40pm.
'As soon as they hit the fence line, the fight was on. Violent confrontations from the start. They came with riot helmets, gas masks, shields, pepper spray, fireworks, climbing gear – climbing gear! – explosives, metal pipes, baseball bats. I have never seen anything like it in 30 years of events in Washington,' Sund recalled.
'I realized at 1pm things aren’t going well. I’m watching my people get slammed,' he said... by 1.09pm the situation grew dire "
Trump had not yet finished speaking. So far, noone attending the rally itself has described seeing people in the Trump crowd carrying bats, fireworks or 'climbing gear'.
Decoding the symbols and groups
None of the above groups are Trump Deplorables.If the FBI 'visited' extremist groups prior to Jan 6, why wasn't the FBI on scene, from early morning, nabbing them as they arrived?
Maybe they wanted it to happen. The domestic terrorism bill was shut down in the Senate last year, what a perfect time to orchestrate something to pass it now.
And why not look at the way people exercising their First Amendment rights in Charlottesville were treated
Look at the way cities were trash burned and looted by BLM and antifa and Democrat stormtroopers
Look at the way the events of last week were manipulated by the Democrats and the tech companies
I don’t blame him one bit for trying to protect his people
The Brits are just still pi&&ed about Yorktown and New Orleans.
The real rioters were Leftist embeds. They got want they wanted - putting the blame on Trump.
Hey DM... if there weren’t violent Antifa pukes at the Capitol there wouldn’t be a reason for President Trump to even consider protecting his supporters as you claim.

As has been the practice, they blame Trump for not doing what someone else should have. Trump cannot order the national guard into a state or territory. It must be requested by the governor, or in this case, the mayor who acts as the governor, Muriel Bowser. A president cannot order the national guard into anything without the determination of insurrection. This was a case of breaking and entering. No one was harmed by the effort and the damage done was minimal in comparison to the actions in the states like Seattle, Portland, or a lot of places. And Trump didn’t send them in there either. He can’t......Constitution.

I was there.
I was at the flash point within two minutes of the start of it.
It was very non-violent at first.
As for "explosives" there were a few, five to ten, I think, of what appeared to be commercial grade fireworks thrown at the police, about 20 minutes after the event started.
I suspected those to be from an Antifa type, because that is a signature tactic for them.
The people at the scaffolding demonstrated a nearly complete lack of leadership and organization.
If there had been 20 organized people there, they would have been in in 30 seconds. There were only a half a dozen police there to start with.
“White House officials advised against the move, however.”
Mr. PRESIDENT: STOP LISTENING TOBTHESE VILE TRAITORS.
THEY HELPED CREATE THIS MESS.
Capitol violence - bump for later.....
