WASHINGTON (ABC7) — There will be around 6,200 military personnel in D.C. by the end of the weekend, a massive response to the U.S. Capitol riot from earlier this week.

The Virginia National Guard currently has 1,000 personnel in D.C. as of Saturday. The Guard plans on adding another 1,000 by Sunday night, joining National Guard Soldiers and Airmen from states around the District.

"The VNG plans to provide about 2,000 personnel total to join a force of National Guard Soldiers and Airmen from neighboring states expected to reach 6,200 by the end of the weekend," according to a statement.

And folks are still saying we do not live in a banana republic? This is what dictators do in small, third world countries.

Send then all to DC, this needs to go nation wide anyway. Plenty of State Capitals who need their wake up call also.

Biden ‘absolutely convinced’ military would escort Trump from White House if he loses and refuses to leave
CNN ^ | 06/11/2020
Posted on 1/10/2021, 9:04:26 AM by EBH

(CNN)Presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden sounded an alarm Wednesday about GOP moves to limit voting access, saying his “single greatest concern” is that President Donald Trump will “try to steal this election.” But, the former vice president said, he is “absolutely convinced” the military would escort Trump from the White House if he loses the election but refuses to leave office.

Asked by Trevor Noah on “The Daily Show” if he’s ever considered what would happen if Trump would not leave the White House if he loses, Biden responded, “Yes, I have.” Biden pointed to Trump’s history of spreading false conspiracy theories about voter fraud, including a recent series of lies about mail-in voting leading to widespread voter fraud — which Republican and Democratic-led states are increasingly embracing amid the coronavirus pandemic.

He highlighted Georgia’s botched primary Tuesday, in which problems with voting machines and other issues led to hours-long waits at some polling places in predominantly black areas. He said his campaign is putting out a “major initiative of lawyers” to patrol voting issues.

“It’s my greatest concern — my single greatest concern. This president is going to try to steal this election,” Biden said.

Ha! I’m laughing. Who do you think called up the guard? Trump did. Not the Governor of VA. Trump has now federalized those troops. They are his and I’ll leave it up to you to figure out what he plans to do with them. 🤔

Federal control in the service of the President (Title X), not state control (Title 32).

If Trump is indeed going to fight, and I suspect he will, this will be the first order coming from the Pentagon on Monday morning. Early.

Didn’t Trump order the military in? So the question is, why does he want them there?

I wonder if HE knows this?

And as to my question, “What are they afraid of?”

I was at Nixon’s 1969 Inauguration. The city was packed with cops and the DC, MD, and Va Guard. They were there for the SDS, Panthers, Yippies and others. Nothing much happened, though I saw a few SDS guys, one of whom was in two of my classes, get Rosewood shampoos from the DC cops.

I say we treat them like toddlers throwing a temper tantrum in the grocery store. If we need to assemble on the 20th, do it at state capitols. All the left wants is more made up optics in DC, while conservatives give their hotels, restaurants and businesses more money. DC is dead to me. Time to strengthen your local base and Build Back Better from there. I will spend more time trying to find principled constitutionalists to primary pig-at-the-trough Republicans.

Jeez, that's close to half a division.

Must be expecting one hell of a massive attack by unarmed middle-aged conservative ladies.

I remember when ‘they’ went apoplectic about Trump’s suggestion that he would bring in the 82nd Airborne to put down the BLM-Antifa rioting in D.C. These people are such cowards and hypocrites. I would give anything to see the Mil break ranks , turn on them, and drag them ,screaming, from any semblance of power and authority. But they won’t. As wo derful as our military us , they are subjects of the system, even if the system becomes deeply corrupt & unjust. Prove it thou, otherwise....
