Even though the inauguration was last week, 5,000 armed National Guard troops are expected to remain in Washington, D.C until mid-March. Do you believe their presence is necessary?

Likely Antifa, BLM and the QAnon crazies will continue their rioting and destruction during the impeachment trial so to play it safe, keep the National Guard in D.C. until the trial is over.

Well at least the U.S. military turned down Nancy Pelosi’s request for heavy machine guns to be set-up all around the Capitol the day of Biden’s inauguration in addition to the 25,000 National Guard troops brought in for pure show. Nothing spells paranoia like lining the streets of a completely locked-down city like 25,000 National Guard being used solely as props by the Democrats.

In the meantime, even though it is now obvious that the Democrats won’t get the 17 necessary Republican votes in the Senate to convict President Trump of the idiotic quasi-impeachment style show they plan to put on in a week, the parking garage of the Capitol Building is the most secure parking structure on the planet. Our taxpayer money, once again, well spent…NOT!

Next up…the Democrats will want to build a massive security wall all around D.C. to show the world how fearful they are of the people. I bet the Dems will all vote to fund that wall, while tearing down the wall on our southern boarder. Fun times ahead America. Fun times ahead.

No, send them all home. I heard a bunch of them spent the inauguration cooped up in a parking garage. It’s all a political show, attempting to stigmatize Trump supporters.
Here’s what really concerns me. If Democrats somehow succeed at establishing D.C. as another State, then D.C. would have it’s own National Guard force under the command of it’s “Governor”, who could wind up being the City’s Mayor. Then whenever Democrats don’t get their way, we could find ourselves with an organized military force taking control of the Capitol.
There is a reason the Constitution’s founders established the federal capital district apart from any state’s jurisdiction, and directly under congressional legislative supervision.

Democrat’s are using the troops and fencing to make the public think they are afraid of republicans, when in fact they know they are guilty of wrong doing. They also are using media and big tech to try to turn people against republicans by calling them white supremist and the such, they know they are going to pass bad legislation and will lose mid terms, so they have to convince the public to vote for them. it worked when they convinced the public that President Trump was bad, so they are trying to do the same making themselves as victims

The Democrats are trying to send a message that the military is on their side. Little do they know if worst came to worst which side the military would be protecting.

The totally corrupted DC Swamp and Joey’s Gestapo must be protected against insurrectionists like regular everyday decent people who mostly want to live in peace and not be told how to live and what to think. We are now the bad guys. The church of blm and antifa and now the good guys. Like all the previous fake pandemic attempts over the last 50 years, including the current fake pandemic, the Commies are practicing for future planned events as they continue to destroy America because they hate themselves and everything around them. This is the typical Communist show of force directly used to intimate and create fear. The tanks are parked in the WH garage ready to be rolled down the streets of Gestapoville DC. Force=fear. The entire Communist/socialist/progressive mantra is based on fear. Once you are in the state of fear and panic, you look for someone to help you, like useless authority figures…and up pops a slimy parasitic democrat to make it all go away.

If we are spending this money, time, effort with the Guard to protect the DemoRat president then why is it the DemoRat president has stopped building the wall to protect all of us from an invasion of illigitimat people coming across our Southern border? JJC

The National Guard troops should be there for only one thing. To escort all the leftist commies to Jail!! I for one am sick and tired of the cancel culture and hopefully someone can do something about the left.

What I have heard/read this is either just Miss Nancy getting the _ _ _ _ scared out of her and/or simply trying to impress on the Folks that their representatives “were” in DANGER!! Right now the Folks probably aren’t too concerned about the comforting and reassuring such a corrupt body of spenders of tax payer moneys to keep themselves in power! Idon’t remember any outrage on and on when republican only congressmen/women were shot at and Steve Scalise nearly killed, right there in the capital city, but they have no shame!

Send the remaining military to our Southern Border to stop the flood of illegal immigrants that are coming. Our inept and incompetent President is trying to reverse former President Trump’s immigration procedures that has served our nation so well.

There vere very few (50?) on west side breaking in. East side visitors were peaceful, not running, entering the Capitol aided by Capitol police. Anyone in the chambers or office areas should have been arrested and questioned. Anyone that had a gun or “weapon” should be arrested and punished. Most people around Capitol were taking sefies and enjoying the time at the Capitol and
the DC area.

I am just a normal everyday joe and I’m about at my boiling point. I’m sick of all this crap going on. How can we Americans do anything to stop this man, before he plunges us so far america cannot return? Do we all need to mass exodus to Texas with Abbot and join his fight. This crazed fool must be stopped someway.
The show of the NG in dc how funny. POTUS TRUMP at one time wanted to do that and the left made fun of him, look now you are doing the same. These are not your play toy boys Nancy. They much to your chagrin do not belong/nor answer to you!!
Joe has one vision for America to destroy, his HATRED for POTUS TRUMP IS SO GREAT IT BLINDS HIM TO ANYTHING BUT VENGEANCE FOR HIM. Folks we are in a heap of poopie if we cannot stop this crooked man!!

It’s ridiculous to have troops surrounding the White House and Congress. Looks like a police state. However, the Democrats know they did everything possible resorting to fraud. They have guilt. They disenfranchised 75 million Americans plus those who are now sorry they voted for Biden. Biden and the Democrats say unity but continue decisive actions. No wonder they only feel comfortable in a fortress.

If there is more “unrest”, it will be due to the never ending Executive Orders that Biden signs off on with pens that won’t fit in his coat pocket. As history has shown us over and over again, when pushed to the breaking point, people will rise up against a totalitarian government.

It’s not about security – it’s about optics. The mayor did nothing when they tried to burn down the church rectory – but that was a peaceful protest. The GOP just doesn’t get it. Dems are 100% better street fighters and the RINO’s play into their game pretending to be bi-partisan. It truly is time for a third party – one that supports the people and not their own power hungry desires.

The Epoc Times “nailed it” with Joseph Stalin’s quote: “America is like a healthy bodying its resistance is threefold: its patriotism, its morality , and its spiritual life. If we can undermine these three areas, America will collapse from within.”
Universities, news media government agencies and non-profits are complicit in the destruction of Americ, same as with demise of Grenada, Afghanistan,, Bangladesh and China.

The reason the dems are keeping the National Guard in DC (aka Panem) is they are worried that there will be a revolt by the people over all the sweeping take overs of all our freedoms, the putting of people out of work, the STUPID “GREEN NEW DEAL” and the Biden, Kerry, McConnell China connection.

The lock down of the Nation’s capital is political theatre; and it suppresses free speech. The January 6th rally became a riot caused by false flag instigators. We will never get the truth because the truth undermines the narrative.

This shows the hypocrisy of the demoncrats. They opposed the national guard when President Trump attempted to quell the violence in cities controlled by demoncraps. Now, when it suits their purpose, they want them available. This is also how they manipulate the Constitution. The vast majority of Americans KNOW that the marxist elements in the dnc, media, and tech companies committed voter fraud. The question is, what are we going to do about it? We know we will have no help from the DOJ.

I don’t think any need to stay, but if they do they should be answer to O-N-L-Y the Governor of the state from whence they were ordered. Some Governors have already “brought their troops home.” These troops. if/and or when a problem occurs would be ready to defend the Constitution even in the presence of a/an oppressive or non-Constitutional commander-in-chief.
