My take on Nat'l Guard presence in DC

1/19/21 | Vanity

[Hoosier-Daddy]

Time for a combination hunting fishing trip with your weapons?

[Fester Chugabrew]

Whose command are they under at this time?The answer ought to govern some of your points.

[Uncle Miltie]

Well looky over there. Lotsa troop wit guns.

Thinkin Am not goin that dierection. Gonna go thee othir way n git me sum.

My guess is that they would have been embarrassed when no one showed up for Biden’s sham presidency inauguration so its better to have a bunch of National Guard there instead.

[moovova]

Booted 12 NG put so far...just saw that on TV.

[vigilante2]

Nancy figures they’re going to need that many to drag Trump out /s

[ransomnote]

The only logical explanation is that this a show of force by the new regime

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

President Trump controls the military and would not order a show of force on behalf of Biden.

[Toespi]

Absolutely agree. This is “Biden’s” boot on our necks. They are emboldened, they are coming right at us and will use Americans to kill Americans. Afterall, it wouldn’t be the first time it has happened in world history.

[pepsi_junkie]

I’ll play the guessing game. New York issues an arrest warrant tomorrow and the Secret a service dutifully takes him into custody. And the national guard says “what are you gonna do about it, MAGA scum?’

[moovova]

Let’s see...

2.2 million active and reserve military in the USA.

1 hundred million gun owners in the USA.

Uhmmm...

[Steve Van Doorn]

You're correct that is what the left wants them for. Though our side needs them as well.
Executive Order #13848 on Foreign interference final report is due 90 days after the election or February 1 2021.

[shanover]

They are glorified traffic/crossing guards. Before all of this sensationalism, DC was protected just fine post 9/11 yet entities purposely left the doors wide open 1/6.

Still want to know who murdered Ashli Babbitt.

on the other hand, in the comments below, someone notes they saw only 2 security guards!

Youtube: 1min39sec: RSBN: AMAZING! AERIAL SHOT OF TRUMP RALLY IN DC 1/6/21
from replies:
Michael Stoltz: This doesn’t even come close to showing how many people were here.... I was in that crowd. The streets surrounding were totally packed as well.

RockieRok: Left media did everything possible to NOT show the massive waves of crowds...

Connie Marx: WLS...Loren Cohen said on the news break...”thousands” showed up to Trump rally...ummmmm...how about a couple + million!!!...

Zuka Zealanee: CNN: “A few hundred Trumpers showed up to the rally in DC.”...

Lightbulb Moment: gotta be more than a million people there maybe 2 Million...

Alfred Dineberry: I was there. If you turned the camera around 180 there’s just as many people on the other side!

d al: I see 2 security guards for all those thousands of people...bc these people love America and aren’t trying to burn it down...

[RandallFlagg]

Not to mention the previous year seeing more guns sold in the history of ever....

[MinorityRepublican]

New York issues an arrest warrant tomorrow and the Secret a service dutifully takes him into custody.

The Left would turn him into a martyr. I doubt that is what Joe wants because every one would be ignoring him now.

[BipolarBob]

Still want to know who murdered Ashli Babbitt.

Somebody posted it here but I can't attest to the accuracy. The Capital Police follow no policy or "Right to Know" laws so they ain't telling. Even US Senators have complained.

[moovova]

I think I read...5 million new gun owners in 2020?

And people are STILL buying guns if they can find them.

[ALASKA]

Biden couldn’t have ordered those troops in.

[old curmudgeon]

Something is afoot for sure.

26,000 National guard.

Add to that the DC cops, the Capitol police, FBI agents, Secret Service, ATF, US Marshals, cops from NYC....and I would bet there are 40,000 badge toting, gun toting cops in town.

And almost no spectators or tourists.

And they know by now that the trouble makers of January 6 probably totaled fewer than 100-200.

What would make us so mad that they might need 40,000 body guards?

2nd Amendment.

Something evil to Trump and his family.

Something in WikiLeaks papers.

Expulsion of all congressmen/women that might be on some secret list? This one is intriguing because there is some reason that almost everyone is deserting Trump and his ideas as well. Running scared (as in terrified).

We will soon know.
