400 members of Washington state National Guard called to D.C. to boost security during President-elect Joe Biden’s inauguration

**SNIP**

Already, the number of National Guard troops in the nation’s capital from around the country has grown to about 21,000, Army Gen. Daniel Hokanson, chief of the National Guard Bureau, told Vice President Mike Pence at a briefing Thursday.

The soldiers and airmen from Washington state will support their federal partners in roles determined by the lead federal security agencies, the Washington National Guard said Thursday.

Biden and Harris will be sworn in at the same location where the violent, pro-Trump mob descended on the U.S. Capitol, but the two events aren’t comparable from a security standpoint, said Michael Plati, U.S. Secret Service special agent in charge, who is leading the inauguration security.

The inauguration is designated as a “national special security event,” which clears the way for communication, funding and preparation between multiple agencies in Washington, such as the Capitol Police, Pentagon, Homeland Security and District-area police. Other such events are the president’s State of the Union address, the Super Bowl and the Democratic and Republican National Conventions.

You are not the only one thinking that. It just blows my mind they would have over 20000 troops deployed for this. They did not deployed that number of troops to DC for 9-11 that I am aware of.

Antifa/BLM did lead the charge into the Capital it is very possible they would do something like that to get Harris installed as President.

If these are handpicked units from Trump-hating states...

These aren’t a national guard.

They’re a Praetorian Guard for Deep State.

Interesting that National Guard troops occupying the capital come only from Democratic States.

Something is up.

The Washington National Guard must’ve been sleeping while Seattle burned during the summer of love. Unity.”

Yes and I don’t remember their shoot to kill orders either.

Blue state, where the LT Gov (at least) is verified compromised by the Chinese. The Governor is as well.

Another way to look at this is that there’s a 20,000 person Chinese proxy army of brigade strength occupying DC at the moment.

You’re right. It’s corps strength. My bad.

Yes, in subsequent posts I've been using the term "a coalition of the nation's most left-wing governors" to describe who sent the troops to DC, but thanks for the correction.

I think the President should use a body double and leave the capital for a secure location, if he can find one, by 1/19 at the latest.

They have been doing “virtual” drills here. I told my son in law that we could just play Call of Duty for two straight days, and get him credit.

That’s what I’m hoping is the case.

And when PDJT, via Insurrection Act and his EO, starts martial law and takes temporary control of comms, have every media venue show the porn on Hunter’s laptop, Hillary having sex with the little girl, Joe sniffing and feeling up little girls, the porn that’s probably on his laptop, whatever pedo stuff Pence is involved in, etc.

Scorched earth, complete with arrests.

Another Orwellian truth - that all of these troops are needed to prevent sedition by conservative members of society! I thought that this SOB was loved and selected by 80 million people? Are the troops required to prevent his fan-club from hugging him to death?

It is sad that America has stooped so low that, not because of truth, justice, and honesty but lies, injustice, and cheating, an illegitimate president will be installed as the leader of the free world! 2+2=5

That’s what scares me.

That Deep State has plans for Trump that would cause civil unrest.

I’ll bet those units have been handpicked and are ready and willing to do anything Deep State asks, the Constitution be damned.

Protect small business owners in Washington state from Antifa rioters and looters-—fuggedaboudit!

Protect child molesting China-owned senile creeps who are part of a criminal enterprise that stole the White House—yeah, part of our sworn duty!

Who deploys the NG to DC? Trump.

Article: “support their federal partners in roles determined by the lead federal security agencies”. MISLEADING and FAKE

They can be requested from Defense by DC mayor Bowser, but SECDEF or Trump must order it.

Am I wrong here?

Could not have said it better myself. What ever any of us think about the current situation we are ‘lucky’ to be alive seeing this piece of history being made.
