National Guard to deploy 10,000 troops to D.C. ahead of Biden inauguration

This time, they’ll be ready. 

The inauguration of President-elect Joe Biden will be held on the same risers in the same spot at the U.S. Capitol where a violent, pro-Trump mob descended last week. But the two events aren’t even comparable from a security standpoint, said Michael Plati, U.S. Secret Service special agent in charge, who is leading the inauguration security.

  1. Yea, nothing says free and fair election like a overwhelming military force.

    1. yup came here to say this - nothing says legit election and 'totally not a dictator' like having 15k troops at your inaug.

  2. Any bets that that NG soldiers will be armed? They may have been issued m16's and/or M4's, but I'd be willing to bet eating my left boot that those mags are EMPTY and the bolts don't have firing pins. Remember when Obozo was inaugurated? They had what appeared to be armed NG troops lining his walking parade route. I say "appeared" because NONE of those weapons were operable. Either the bolts or the firing pins in the bolts were removed prior to issue for the parade.

    1. I remember when Obama spoke at the graduation ceremonies at the Naval Academy. He demanded the graduating cadets leave off their swords, an authorized, if not required, uniform item.

      I also remember how he demanded the forks be taken up at a fundraising dinner before he spoke.

      And all the military marching at his inauguration parades had to have the bolts removed from their weapons, lest they take one for the team and pull an Anwar Sadat on his ass.

    2. So far, the one's I have seen on the news are armed with M16/M4 but I have not seen a magazine yet. They probably have real jacked up ROE like we had in Iraq.

    3. How do you like your boot prepared? I'm in the guard, and I'm going. I have ammo. My platoon has ammo. All of our MGs have been replaced with M4s, and we all had to requalify before leaving. Our rifles work.

    4. Well, yes, fully armed, and now there's a Stryker unit fully armed there, too. As of midnight, the troop number is up to 23K and rising.

  3. “It is critically important that there’ll be a real serious focus on holding those folks who engaged in sedition and threatening the lives, defacing public property, caused great damage — that they be held accountable.” Haven't we seen the Left doing just this for the last eight months?

  4. No one should show up. NO ONE! Just to give our opinion of the legitimacy of this election. Unless a thousand show up just to moon them at the appropriate time. That would be funny.

  6. "violent, pro-Trump mob"

    Fark that guy with a napalm-smeared, barb-wire wrapped fence post.

    1. Yeah, but it would be nice if pretty much every single major Right-leaning pol, press, and pundit didn't repeat the exact same bullshit. Gotta hand it to the Right: their "adopt every single iota of your opponent's arguments, then wonder why no one rallies to your banner" strategy, while not really very successful, is at least unique.

    2. But they wouldn't be the other face of the Uniparty (think Janus) if they didn't repeat the same talking points. Also, "we are better than that..." is to dissipate any enthusiasm that might overwhelm the Uniparty.

  7. I bet the governors of Washington State, Oregon & Wisconsin will send beaucoup troops to D.C. to keep Trumpers in line But the same assholes held back when Portland, Seattle and Milwaukee were being sacked by BLMers.

    1. Those governors will be thinking of their own futures before they send troops out of state.

      Or should be.

  8. Gonna be fun to watch the fake inauguration of the fake president with a fake crowd of ng soldiers.

  9. I would be more concerned about the "parades" in Seattle, Portland, Baltimore, Minneapolis, Los Angeles, Chicago, etc. etc. etc.

    1. Patton and McArthur led troops, cavalry and tanks against the Bonus Marchers. Troops used machine guns and cannon to destroy camps.

      People don't remember that.

  11. If they're going to call us 'un-governable' anyway...
    If they're going to say we are murderous and violent anyways....
    If they're going to call us insurrectionists anyways....

    Give 'em what they want!

  12. Go to the X22 reports (https://watch.x22report.tv/webtv-v3/); there's a whole different perspective on what may happen, and some very reasonable logic used. And if he's correct, we're going to be witness to some historical events. Fingers crossed.

  13. So it takes 18.691 guardsMEN for each arrestee.....seems high but those critters can be nasty. I guess they are planning for staff as well.

  14. Why would you ever expect cowardly RINO's, with very few exceptions, to not do what they've always done?
    Remember how they grabbed their ankles for the obama horde. People's short memories are the dems biggest asset.
    Now here's yet another instance in a long history of cowardice and standing for no principles whatsoever.
    Fuck 'em all. The republican politicians deserves the party death they seem to seek.
    After being a life-long Republican, they've become the party of...nothing.
    I'm unaffiliated now, and just can't wait until one of the motherfuckers calls begging for a donation.

  15. From what I have been told, Biden will be on stage and ready to take the swearing in when probably some US Marshalls go to him and charge him with some crimes and then arrest him. All on TV. Maybe all the NG with ammo is there to thin the maddening crowd of commies? Someone needs to kill them. Why waste time with military tribunals when a couple of rounds does the trick. Commie all over this nation re going to die. The sooner the better.
