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."

They will all be compelled to go to the Inauguration—for the cameras. Then the only crowd shots will be aerial from a mile up, so pixilated you won’t be able to see their uniforms.

I can always tell when it’s a MSM article they always refer to “us” as “terrorists, racists, KKK” or whatever. I stop reading there. BTW, I thought the left hated the National Guard??? No?

Btw, is she advising people to stay away because its a super spreader event or because this way when very few show up to hear blowhards, then she can claim it was designed that way.

“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.”

The playbook for next week

Based on the headline, I thought this thread was going to be about Bowser from Sha-na-na.

This is all a PR ploy. We are in a cold civil war and it is threatening to go hot. Don’t take the bait, not yet. That’s what they want. If we plan this out we cannot be defeated. We’ve got the numbers that count.

They are really afraid. And who can send that many there. Isn’t the president the only one to mobilize that many. They are acting scared of there lives because they are gonna try a phony impeachment again.
