Ted Lieu Drops Bomb About Why National Guard Is Still in DC
The Western Journal ^ | Kipp Jones February 13, 2021 | Kipp Jones

Posted on 02/13/2021 9:48:21 AM PST by E. Pluribus Unum

Democratic Rep. Ted Lieu of California appeared to let the cat out of the bag on Thursday with regard to why the National Guard is still in the country’s capital in large numbers more than three weeks after President Joe Biden’s inauguration.

In remarks during Trump’s Senate impeachment trial, Lieu appeared to imply that troops are still treating Washington, D.C., as an occupied military zone because the former president will not bend the knee and disavow his stance that the 2020 election was stolen from him.

To put it more simply, Lieu appeared to state that if Trump were to simply concede the election, all of those troops would go back to where they came from. Back to warm beds and away from freezing parking garages.

“[Trump] needed to unequivocally condemn the [Capitol] attack, but he also needed to mean those words,” said Lieu in front of the Senate.

“You saw Donald Trump tweet endless attacks, sometimes 108 tweets in a day, and in public speeches and across rallies, repeating words of ‘fight’ and ‘stop the steal’ and ‘never surrender.’”

The Democrat then played up what he said was Trump’s ability to reach people.

Perhaps if Lieu possessed the ability to inspire others, he wouldn’t be relegated to being one of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s errand boys. In any event, that’s essentially what Lieu is — and he is working double-time to please the madame.

“You know what it looks like when President Trump wants to convey a message. Forcefully, loudly and repeatedly, he does that,” he said, in reference to a clip of Trump’s Jan. 6 address to his supporters in Washington.

“Biden” is working from a movie-set oval office in CA. He’s just reading a script given to him by good guys. “Biden” himself is a good guy, an actor. The good guys are not going to have “Biden” remove the troops.

So, yes - you are exactly correct that “so something else may be going on”.

Biden is now President.

I don't see it that way. The whole thing is a fraud. Committing fraud and cheating is not legitimate regardless of what you or the frauds claim.

I think the troops are still there because OBiden is about to come out with some draconian gun regulations

I tend to agree, maybe not on the content of the regulations / orders / legislation but that they will be putting something out that they know damn will will enrage Americans. They certainly don't think Trump's supporters are going to riot, that was BS to begin with and permanent martial law in DC in reponse would be absurd. It's about what the next shoe to drop is.

Actually, the reason that the troops are there is pathetic and wholly understandable. Examine what happened last year in Seattle, Portland, Chicago, and New York. In each case, violent mobs ransacked those cities, in some cases of the course of several months. Their pathetic democrat mayors allowed this to happen as long as the mobs were only burning and looting businesses and other people's homes and properties. However, in each case when the mayors houses were threatened or their offices were being looted the mayors demanded and deployed excessive amounts law enforcement. Dozens of police protecting the mayors house while the city burns.

The national guard in DC is just this same affect on a larger scale. The powers that be are cowards. They will respond to any threat real or imagined in the same manner. Our homes can be looted, we can even be killed, but they must not be touched.

Biden may be the figurehead of the CCP coup/insurrection..but that assuredly does NOT make him president

If he was truly “president” there would be no barricade around the White House or Capitol Hill

Actions always speak louder than words

But there ain’t no guns in DC! ‘Cause it’s illegal to carry guns into DC, so the military ain’t needed in DC where there are no guns. Right?

Perhaps the oligarchy will invite blue helmeted Chinese troops to protect the USA from “domestic terrorists”.

The democrats know that Biden is illegitimate and they want Trump to make him legitimate. Usually, a president will rely on the election outcome to establish legitimacy. Biden can’t do that. He has to have a perpetual chorus chanting that he is.

0bama is being directed by the same "Mr Global" as Biden.

However, the actor Biden you see today I'm of the understanding that he is a good guy, playing the part to help awaken the American public. The script writers give these actors parts and lines that are for the most part in-line with what we expect them to say and do, even for the 'Rats.

Did you see "biden" yesterday with "jill" supposedly in the WH gardens prior to Valentines day? With a spring in his step, that was NO 78 yo. It was an actor, and the way he was spry and agile, probably the actor was in his 50's at the most. There are pictures floating about with a "biden"s facemask lifting, or sloppily put on; others clearly showing different people - based on earlobe and other facial criteria.
