Bowser urges people to avoid DC as National Guard plans to have up to 15,000 troops in city

Washington (CNN) — Washington, DC, Mayor Muriel Bowser on Monday urged Americans to avoid the city during President-elect Joe Biden's inauguration next week and to participate virtually following last week's deadly domestic terror attack on the US Capitol.

Meanwhile, the National Guard has plans to have up to 15,000 National Guard troops to meet current and future requests for the inauguration, Gen. Daniel Hokanson, the chief of the National Guard Bureau, said Monday. The dramatic increase in troops comes as law enforcement in the nation's capital and around the country brace for further extremist violence amid the transition of power.

Speaking at a news conference Monday, Bowser, a Democrat, stressed that she was concerned about more violent actors potentially coming to the city in the run-up to the inauguration, saying, "if I'm scared of anything, it's for our democracy, because we have very extreme factions in our country that are armed and dangerous."

If it weren’t for the military being ordered to be there, Biden wouldn’t even be able to draw flies!

Please do your own research.... all news is either lies or shut down... all communication also...
OR.... wait a few days.. 1-2 days...and you will know. when your power goes off... that will clue you... activity is going on as we argue over this... Pres Trump is in charge of saving us from what little you saw just in the past week..

But if you want.. ignore it all ... it’s okay...
or take it seriously and have water and food and batteries handy...

Ditto.

After attending the rally on the 6th, vowed to never enter that corrupt disgusting city again. NO way are they getting my tourist dollars again not unlike Manhattan.

Dude. Trust me.

If and when Trump (or Biden) invokes the Insurrection Act - we will know.

Immediately.

There will be no need for some blogger in a basement to tell us.

I agree. There is no reason to waste your time protesting at a state Capitol and possibly dealing with BLM or Antifa. Stay home. A protest has no effect, it’s a media op, attracts nutters like horns & pelts guy. Learn about roof Koreans, quietly meet your neighbors to organize and setup a watch...

BTW I went to the post office and the local gun store is right there. Big sign outside with a list of all the types of ammo they don’t have (because it is sold out by people stocking up). I should have written it down, but it seemed like handgun ammos, 32, 38, 45, 9mm etc. j/s

it's for our democracy

I am so tired of politicians, even Republicans, calling the USA a democracy. It is democratic, but it is a Republic. Too bad our schools do not teach that.

Pure democracy is the House of Representatives impeaching any president they want to if their party has one more member than its opposite. It is also two foxes and one chicken voting on what to have for lunch.

I wouldn’t bet on that! There will be more bottom feeder lobbyists there than you can count! All of them will be wanting to donate to Commiela’s re-election!

For what? That’s the question. Hell, they had the city on fire for a week this summer and all they did was paint Black Lives Matter on the street.

“You’ve been here since 2002 and you still post this bullcrap?”

You’ve been here since 2008 and you’re still commenting on it instead of moving along and ignoring it.

The ball is in your court on this.

The MSM narrative has already been written.

When no one shows up to Bidens party they will claim is was only because of the FEAR of MAGA.

Why do you think the troops are surrounding the capitol?

Trump is not in Washington DC.

You think we would know immediately under what circumstances? normal circumstances?

They had to handle some things in other countries.. this was world wide.

If you have not lived in and through a war or a coup... how do you know how it would be handled?

I think it is wise to at least warn the people...and if they don’t want it.. fine... I would not want someone who knew, to sit on it and not tell anyone..

The past President really set us up for a take over and dissolution of our country. he kept millions and is sitting pretty just around the corner from the capitol... maybe some day the media will finally see who they have been worshipping.

most of all this is not even fit to put down...and whoever does takes the chance of being visited by the fbi or such. is this America? will we ever be again?
Trump is working on it..and putting his life and his family’s life on the line. while the dems are out to finish the job.
