Hope this prevents any violence or riots. Good idea!  We know what happens when you don't have enough police....

Better keep that division in DC.
They will need it. In fact I strongly encourage ALL Democrats to
lock down in the Democrat cities. Hide and don't come out.

Now the News outlet "The Hill"  is reporting there will be 20,000 NG troops at the site and around the city.

i'll bet there's a noticeable reduction in crime in DC.  Didn't it used to have the title of Murder Capitol of the USA?

Ghetto Yutes are probably grumbling that this is direct interference with their livelihoods.

....
How are they going to keep social distance? 
As I quipped previously, statistically, now that would make 10,000 trump supporters in dc......WITH RIFLES!
 

At request of the NG beureu, HI sent 200 over.

I wonder what for? 

Do our Guard members have a "special" skill that the bureau could not find in the 49 other states, that they have to go clear across the continent and 3000 miles to get 200 guard members from Hawaii?

On second thought, maybe Hawaii's NG can use the opportunity to gain experience and knowledge on how to secure, handle, and prepare for mobs and riots.

Critics warn National Guard lacks exit strategy for presidential inauguration

By Paul J. O’Leary

WASHINGTON — More than 20,000 national guardsmen are expected to deploy to the nation’s capital to provide additional security during President-elect Joe Biden’s inauguration on Jan. 20, but critics warn the National Guard appears to lack an exit strategy.

“We have no metric for what success looks like,” said one high ranking officer. “Is it an hour after the man is sworn in? Is it when the protesters have all left? We just don’t know.” .......

Maybe the NG presence will be the new normal.  joe and kamala will request permanent presence of the Guard.

The New America has started!

Guard members will be systematically rotated  on tours of duty to permanently protect the Capitol.

Those who served will be eligible for medals of service.

It will be called the Capitol Service Commendation Medal. 

Friend of mine brought up elsewhere that only 1 person is allowed to authorize NG troops into DC. It's the top of the command chain.

His comment:
"Food for thought. 
The guard cannot be deployed in DC without the approval of the Commander in Chief.
Thus, either Trump approves of this massive deployment (for whatever reasons) or a coup is complete if he does not."

If this was any other event (possibly with any other president elect), the event would be CANCELLED due to security concerns.  Putting a bunch of weekend warriors on alert to contain thousands of civilians is asking for another Kent State result.  It'll just take one nervous Guardsman to overreact, and all hell will break loose.

The inauguration does not need to be held publicly.  In fact, there is normally a swearing in before the event that's the official swearing in.  The inauguration on TV is just for show, to drive home the transition of the presidency in grand fashion.

If COVID is still such a concern, especially in these flu seasonal months, why spend the money on a public gathering plus even more trying to keep it peaceful?

Makes zero sense.  Pelosi tried to cancel the State of the Union Speech, then gave in to public pressure -- then she insultingly ripped up her copy of the President's speech and gave him a sideways clap.

I say pull the plug on the inauguration and have the event on live stream -- "lockdown style."

Pics I saw so far, no one has mags.  But may be issued later, who knows.  Or could be empty mags like at the HNL airport after 9/11.

So far Kahele taking advantage by posting pics of the guard there.  He's a scumbag.

Just saw a report that stated 21,000 troops. And now it was announced by the mayor that DC is under full lockdown. I am also seeing reports of cell phones and radio frequencies being jammed in the area. The FBI was saying they have intel of armed protests planned at all 50 state capitols.

I just heard it's up 25,000. I'll raise you 12,500 oldfart!
