Yes, it sure looks like a trap for the gullible and guileless. And yes, a bloodbath would sell like the Super Bowl on live TV, and endlessly thereafter, with the media getting to run the repeat spin cycle.

POTUS having his powers in place to "extract 2A supporters"?

Maybe those of us who expect trouble today are wrong and it's gonna all turn out to be a big nothingburger - but that's not how I'd place my bet on it.

I'm kinda puzzled about what POTUS can do about the situation in Roanoke today. What authority does he have on the Virginia State Capitol grounds, or over the Virginia State Police or the Capitol Police? Or Governor Blackface?

One would suppose he could just do the same as the Governor, go heavy handed and overstep his authority and call up some of the 82nd Airborne from Fort Bragg, NC to arrive on the scene and keep everyone in line, but that would have happened yesterday at the latest.

Other than that, what? Maybe spies in the Governor's office or in the VSP or Capitol Police, or in the Antifa goons showing up in the buses to cause trouble?

Just questions, no disrespect intended. Anyway I'm gonna optimistically place my hope in just a big overblown nothingburger with Gov. Blackface being exposed today as a dolt.

Answers forthcoming soon enough... Right now this is playing like something out of an Ayn Rand novel.

Roanoke??? That’s a long way from Richmond.
