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."

President Biden is going to have a HUGE crowd for the inauguration. I’ll bet it will number at least 15,000!

“President” Biden - or “former vice president Biden”.

You guys are keeping quiet about their magic wand. Is that part of the conspiracy? And what about the Aliens? Gotta work them in some how because Soros is in constant contact with them and needs to be exposed

“We should hope it stays cold.”

I’d like to hear the background chanting of thousands about the “Steal”.

yes.

China wants to buy General Electric and Trump does not want to sell any US companies to China.

obama ..I can’t type all he did ... it will come out soon.


This intrigues me!

As we know, China has already managed to buy GE Appliances. Originally the GE made a deal with Eletrolux but China complained to the Obama administration (probably through Cockadile Hunter) and the DOJ blocked the deal. To compensate they paid GE 5 billion versus the 3 billion offered by Electrolux.

TIME to move the Capitol!

Is there room enough in the JW and/or Amish organizations to take us all in?

It was exactly as you describe it.

This canNOT be true!!

I've just read "There is no Swamp"; produced by the Ministry of Truth; editted by Winston Smith.

It accurately portrays the history of DC; not this rabble-induced ranting we are reading about here!

Have previous inaugurations had the huge media tower directly in front of where the newly inaugurated president gives his speech? Or is that what is needed so that Biden can read from something directly in front of him? He used this type of large computer screen during his few campaign events. He can read with great force from something situated directly in front of him.

My brotha...

Be careful buddy. Your understanding of success and a good life is spot on and reasonable goals for human life. And they are not popular priorities for those addicted to having their own way on everything...

And the political stench emanating from the so-called representatives of the people.
