In April 1861, there were 11,000 troops stationed in DC. In 1864 the number was 23,000. Just to put the 25,000 in perspective.

Except Biden isn’t POTUS yet so Trump would have to be the one to call them to duty. I forgot about that.

Isn’t that normal after the last few inaugurations were rowdy?

Not 25,000 worth. Not even in 2016. Something's up. Don't know what -- but something is.

"Except that Biden is not the commander-in-chief. Trump is. This is Trump doing this. Maybe at someone's request but does it seem likely that Trump wants this type of image?"

Good point, but I expect Trump was pressured into this and sincerely does not want any more trouble. If there is trouble and he had declined the request, then they'd go after him again. On the other hand, is it the mayor of DC or the president who makes the call to bring in the Guard? Or can both do it? And is this the National Guard or the regular army, or both?

I posted this comment on other threads, but if you have to have thousands of armed guards at your inauguration, you probably were not elected by the people.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

An astute observation you have made,and one which supports my conclusion that President Trump is my President, whether he is inaugurated or not.And over 75 million of my comrades feel quite the same.

All of these troops are for one purpose, to establish a theater where the country can ben united bt false acting that we narrowly dodged an insurrection bogey man and so we unite in fear.

Its all pure Alinsky theater based on lies and untruth.

I hope that no conservatives show up in DC or any state capital, and that we boycott all big business on that day. .

Feminists who despise men and Trump set an suv on fire. Turned out to be owned by a foreign person who wasn't connected to the DC GOP elites anyway. Limo driver Luis Villaroel recalled:

The political optics of having 25,000 heavily armed troops in our Nation’s Capitol on January 20th only looks great to Chinese and North Korean dictators.

To the rest of the world watching, not so good.

This is excessive and updates continue to be made/released.

As if to boast and show.

Are the democrats worry President Trump won’t leave and they’re trying to frighten him?

I realize this could be the President doing this also.

Still a mystery.

Will the National Guard be ordered to applaud and cheer?

I don't know but this can't be what Biden wants. No matter how far left and loony he is the last thing they want to convey is this type of image. Unless the left is so far past caring now that they're going to just take the gloves off.

When BLM was burning buildings, looting stores and attacking the police for days in a row over the summer the left and the mayor hated the idea and practically demanded National Guard troops be kicked out of the city when Trump brought them in. Now all of a sudden they want tens of thousands to a virtual inauguration.

LOL! It will be the biggest crowd Biden ever drew in all the campaign, by tens of thousands.
