Notice the word game here. She use the word “ordered” the NG verses “authorized” the NG. She knows the law states that the president can not deploy the NG in Wash. D.C. without an official request from the capital police and the D.C. mayor. All he can do is authorize the deployment of the NG, which he did.
Yep!
she’s got to go down
“Cheney isn’t the story here - the story is why these former defense secretaries DID NOT WANT THE CAPITOL TO BE DEFENDED.”
Its because the agent provocateurs that were hanging on rafters waiting for a “go signal” to start busting windows and fighting cops wouldn’t have gotten near the Capitol.
The Capitol Police open the door to the East Rotunda and suddenly you have normal protesters walking through a “restricted area.”
The kangaroo committee is a joke, if they weren’t a joke they would’ve segregated the protesters from the window breakers and cop fighters instead of gas lighting ‘on and on’ about an insurrection.
Seems like they nevertrumpers were afraid that Trump was going to use the National Guard to stay in power, and so, blocked the guard. Someone may have fed them such nonsense.
I sure hope you are right, Sarah! She MUST be sent packing!
EVIL has permeated American politics FRom the Founding get-go, but over my lifetime (I am 81) it has got VERY MUCH worse!
Post-Civil War EVIL set the stage for Wilson and FDR, and FDR ratcheted EVIL way up; LBJ was worse. Clinton and Ophonybama continued, and Sloe Joe and The Hoe’s administration are continuing/expanding the tradition of LIEberal EVIL.
I am not prepared to call Republican Presidents evil, but there have been some shady doings in Republican administrations. The real damage to America’s Constitutional Republic has been done by Democrat (and Republican!) LIEberals!
The bureaucracies have ALWAYS BEEN EVIL, AS HAVE LOBBYISTS!
I am hopeful that the EVIL in government can be flushed out, but I remain a skeptic!
Not on me, I’m old so my standards have been lowered but I still have some.
What they did not want was President Trump to have armed soldiers there, to thwart the coup taking place.
What they were afraid of was the president using the armed forces to protect the US Constitution, from enemies domestic.
THAT is why "they" did not want soldiers, under the control of the current CIC, loitering around the congressional offices at that time.
Are we sure it isn’t coming from this Swiss Wyoming landowner?

She thinks liberty is when a sailor gets a few days off.
Cheney’s embrace of hypocrisy as a guiding political principle shows she has all along been a Dim in GOP clothing.
She can always run in NY as a RAT carpetbagger. They seem to love that stuff.
The kangaroo committee is the insurrection.
Judge Freisler would have been jealous of Cheney.
