Ahh, but the the Media during Kent State WANTED to drum up hatred against the Military and the War.

This is a totally different scenario.

LMAO.....the next week POTUS inauguration of Faux, Democrat,Joe Biden will be a three ring circus. The USA Military, National Guard, Secret Service and Law Enforcement hate all Democrats. Do you really think these brave Americans in the service of their nation are going to put their lives on the line for these nutcase Democrats that did nothing but bad mouth them?

My advice to all Americans, Democrat & Republicans is to stay as far away from Washington, DC as possible and remain safe!!! And...what must the rest of world be thinking with our beloved, great, troops sleeping on the floors of the Capital Building!!! Sad days for the USA!!!

And ...then will be The failed souls of a dying “Hollywood Movie Industry” led by Tom Hanks, making glee, who no one these days wants to hear from. Hollywood killed itself and and no one cares who they are and what they say!!!

Let the Biden, Harris, Pelosi, Schumer buffoon, clowns enjoy this farce Democrat three failed circus!!!

Guarantee on the actual Inauguration Day, those NG troops will be no where near the actual ceremony. Too much opportunity for one rogue soldier or accidentally discharge.

As a matter fact, they are saying that they are moving the perimeter back several blocks.

Dems don’t trust the military.

They have 20K people there, must be terrified. Trump had over 75M votes. If only 1% bothered to show up, they would be outnumbered 37.5 to 1. Our unrepresentative’s better be careful with what they are doing.

Man the democrats are really going overboard.

DC is not a state so this request is not from local government.

If it is not local then it is federal.

If NG troops use force against civilians while under federal control it violates Posse Comitatus.

If NG troops are used for local enforcement they are not federalized and it is not treason to fire on them.

Only a governor or president can order mobilization of NG units - governors can only mobilize their state guards in their state.

The governor of a state has no authority over NG troops in another state even if they are NG troops from his state.

Congress and the courts have no authority over the NG.

My advice. Stay away from the Capitol on the 20th. They are ready this time.

Historical point: when there are major regime collapses, eg Maidan Revolution, 1848 in france, the decisive point was when the army either stood aside, or actually joined the uprising.

We have politicians that endlessly denigrate toxic masculinity, white supremacy, etc... yet they assume that a military where the combat personnel is overwhelmingly of that demographic will always defend them, commit live fire massacres when ordered, fight to the death to protect them...

And do it against an uprising composed overwhelmingly of their friends and family, and who they sympathize with.

Just be patient and wait until we get to that tipping point.

“Isn’t this known as a “Bill of Attainder”. The Constitution doesn’t matter any more to the Dems.”

There is always the “living constitution”. Also, John roberts says it is a tax.

Not good. You know there are those who would use this as cover to start riots and let mayhem reign so they can crush any opposition at will with the government’s blessing. Is our Tiananmen moment drawing nigh? so soon after our ‘Reichstag’ moment.

When those sworn to uphold the rights of others to dissent and protest seek to stifle and out and out eliminate those who are exercising constitutional rights, then we have reached the very edge of the abyss and loss of any pretenses of being a free society.

Especially, when those who are instigating incidents, as they have in the recent past, know full well they are complicit , no, demanding action that will result in the deaths of innocents, of which there are apparently not many left say some along with the self-righteous mediaites, except for those with black masks and molotov cocktails.

All one can ask .. What have WE become? What have our elected officials done to stop any of it? Many of them are behind it and brag as we fall into the piles of ashes of the Republic.

January 21, 2021. WE shall see what we see,, and what the media allows us to see. We will hear politicians but only see soldiers in the streets trying to control mobs of citizens clashing.

Congratulations DemocRats and Globalist Elites. YOu will have won the battle and lost the future as there will none for many. But as long as you profit, who cares, right?

Seems like the ‘armed’ security on the USS Cole had no ammo, just their rifles.

Based on all the photos I’ve seen, the NG have no magazines in their weapons and appear to not be carrying mags (in fact they appear to not even have plate carriers for armor or mags).

You think they care about the Constitution?

Besides, there's plenty of precedent for Quartering Acts.

Wtf is going on?

The Deep State is getting ready to subjugate.
Anything that happens there WILL be blamed on us -whether or not any conservatives are present.
The end result (They hope) will be more laws, more regulations, more crap, etc...
