As a leftist revolutionary party assumes power, an Iron Curtain descends across the nation's capital--

As a leftist revolutionary party assumes power, an Iron Curtain descends across the nation's capital--complete with razor wire, checkpoints and thousands of heavily armed troops with orders to shoot to kill.

I think I've seen this movie before.

All this vetting of politically reliable troops will enable the subsequent vetting of troops when they return to their respective states - the rest will be purged, frozen in rank, or dismissed for one reason or another - no matter how far fetched

I disagree. They don’t trust Trump and they don’t actually know us. Yes, I agree it’s a show of force and a warning but they also believe we’re a bunch of crazy, armed rubes. If they’re so smart they would have seen 2016 coming and they misjudged voters and misjudged badly.

And Joe Biden has the perfect excuse for having a tiny turnout for his inauguration. The manipulated narrative begins.

And between 20,000 and 30,000 troops.

Funny/sad because the actual number of people who will be allowed to attend is 200 socially distanced people from what I just heard on the radio. So basically it will look like one of his campaign "rallies", bit with a bit more banana republic dictator flavor.

I’m still betting they’ll have half the troops wear street clothes and order them to cheer. Of course since a lot of the Nat Guard come from leftist states, they might not have to order them

Nothing says democracy like needing 25,000 troops to install the new regime.

They should secure our borders against illegals as well as the deep state is securing the capitol against the citizens of this country that they are claiming to represent.

I just saw a thread that now they are trying to ban the public from DC for good.

And a digital Iron Curtain descends across the digital communications we've been groomed to accept for the past few decades. The monopolies which have formed in digital social media - Twitter, Facebook, Youtube, Instagram - have suppressed the Hunter Biden story, they've made it clear that we are not allowed to question the validity of the 2020 election, they've silenced Trump and his supporters. We're seeing suppression of communication on a scale that Stalin and Erich Honecker could only have dreamed of.

Let me get this straight. When they thought it was strictly Trump supporters in the Capitol Building there was a kidnap/murder plot but now an AntiFa guy has admitted it there was no kidnap/murder plot.

Seems that some animals truly ARE more equal than others.

“Seems that some animals truly ARE more equal than others.”

As of this minute, you appear to be correct.

Of course our rulers can change their B$ in a millisecond.

It’s reassuring, at least, to have you back on watch, Jim. We will be here with you until the lights go out.

We are the new Jew. Our Lords and Masters aren’t even waiting until they’re in office to turn the military into their SS.

Stay home, cut your cable, & don’t watch ABCNNBCBS nor FAUX or NBA, NFL and MLB.

Loyalty Tests are OK now, it seems?!?

Can you imagine if Trump’s people demanded guards be vetted for Obama supporters???

“While an equality of rights under a limited government is possible and an essential condition of individual freedom, a claim for equality of material position can be met only by a government with totalitarian powers.” ― Friedrich A. von Hayek, The Mirage of Social Justice

There is nothing new under the sun. Socialism historically leads to totalitarianism, and that leads to resistance. The most pressing question is, as it has always been, does there exist a sufficient love for individual freedom in a enough Americans to get us out of this mess?

why is the Salvation Army providing for the NG quartered in the Capitol?

why have only Republicans thought to send zillions of pizzas to the NG and to ask after their comfort?

the Dems treat our guys like they’re toy soldiers
