Tim Ryan: National Guard to remain at Capitol until new security system in place

...Ryan, chairman of the Legislative Branch Subcommittee, said in a virtual press conference said that troops are still around the U.S. Capitol building due to threats "around the impeachment and just generally, given what's happened, and the fact that we don't have a reset for the security apparatus around the Capitol building. We are in the process of figuring that out."

"How can we learn everything we need to learn to reset the posture on Capitol Hill?" Ryan asked. "We're not going to let the National Guard go home, or we're not going to create an unsafe environment for the country's business, until we have that figured out.

how many US Marshalls do we have? And why aren't they doing the law enforcement? Are the NG being paid combat pay? What authorization does Congress have under the Constitution to billit active duty troops for their convenience in 'figuring it out' ?

It’s as if the American people are not welcome in their capital city. Don’t the Norks require special permission to visit Pyongyang?

They need to hire mercenaries from outside the country to provide security so that they can be trusted. Gurkas, Swiss, etc.

Congress is like the drug cartels. They need security to keep them from the innocent masses they destroy with their criminality.

Busy figuring out how to keep citizens from the Capitol, while Ashli’s Capitol police/congressman murderer remains unnamed.

So, how many years is that?

And what do they mean “let”?

Isn’t the NG the purview of the states? Are they going to strong-arm the governors?

They are worried about an unsafe environment for businesses? What happened all last spring, summer and fall? The National Guard was never patrolling Seattle, Portland, Minneapolis, Washington DC, etc when much more damage was done. Protecting businesses cannot be the real reason for their presence.

Just send in black shirts, put lightening zags on their collars and let them goose-step around the ellipse all day.

What are these scumbags frightened of? We just had a free and fair presidential election, right? The attempted impeachment and conviction of someone no longer in office is legit, right? The endless threats to “deprogram,’ dox and murder Trump supporters are “unifying” endeavors, right?

What’s to be afraid of, oh scumbag Swamp dwellers?

It is a good thing when government fears the governed. . .
