No plot against Biden was uncovered.

These two Guards members have more to be concerned about in their future than just removal from protecting DC.

“No plot against Biden was uncovered.”

So it’s still a secret?

I don’t have any links, however sometime near the turn of the 20th century, militia groups became the National Guard.

The Guard is the *Organized* Militia. Officially, at least.

Two of them- clear evidence of a vast right wing conspiracy. I’ll bet they retweeted some unflattering memes about kamala harris and Willie Brown. Serious boogaloo stuff.

>>>”fringe right group militias, the Associated Press reported Tuesday.”

I’ll bet the mean the Oath Keepers, which, of course, isn’t fringe at all, but dedicated to all Americans who took the Oath of Enlistment or Commissioning and still abide by it.

How is that fringe or right wing, AP?

I am also an Oath Keeper, but other than signing up a decade before haven’t even been to a single meeting, let alone a Nancy Pelosi effigy hanging and burning.

But that sounds like good times.

BTW, has anyone on the left hung and/or set fire to a Trump effigy?

Asking the questions the DNCMedia won’t.

Isn’t the Guard a militia group?

This was my first thought as well...likely an Oath Keeper.

Any identity on the cufflinked hand that shot dead the scary cop-surrounded Ashley Babbitt?

Will it be in the Durham report? Maybe Linda Graham will get to the bottom of it on HANNITY!!!!

Only 2 out of 25,000? That’s not many at all.

In my opinion, the national guard is NOT militia. Organized or not.

To the elites, Trump is now Emmanuel Goldstein in 1984. Anyone associated with him is a thoughtcriminal.

No. Its a standing army. Not a militia. The claim that the guard is a militia is a 20th century falsehood invented by pro gun control people.

“...permanent corps, in the pay of government, amounts to a standing army.” - Federalist Papers
