It’s all optics. They like to use the military as play things.
It’s like that Pope type funeral they gave the Capitol police officer that died. 90 days ago, they wanted to defund the police, now they’re honoring them? yeah.
They pretend to care and we pretend to believe them.
What I would like to know (and what you all should like to know as well) is, how did the various Blue State guards get sent to DC in the first place?
Who gave the orders? Who was in command of the operation?
I presume that to enter DC and carry out the pre-inauguration show of force, a) they had to be Federalized, and b) they had to be under someone’s command.
Where is the Federalization order? Where are the orders creating a command structure and ROE? Who signed them, and by what authority?
Why they are there now is obvious. Why, and at whose command, they were there before noon on January 20 is not at all obvious.
That cop was a Trump supporter.
