House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) on Thursday backed the continued presence of the D.C. National Guard at the Capitol in wake of the deadly insurrection on January 6.
It’s either a matter of protecting the Capitol - or rounding up these miscreants. Let them know we know. You know? As they say, let the troops do their job.
This is very needed
“We should have them here as long as they are needed,” Pelosi told reporters at her weekly press briefing, noting that the decision was ultimately up to the Capitol Police.
I agree, of course, but with one obvious caveat: it would be wrong to leave the decision “ultimately up to the Capitol Police” if said force is not provided with all necessary resources.
I love the “Let’s not waste our time on” the silliness. You go, Nancy!
So then, in effect the DC National Guard becomes Antifa?
Has Antifa HQ approved this yet?
Where are the crowds of people gathering at the Capitol for Donald’s inauguration!?!? In fact, where is Donald? Isn’t he in DC for his coronation as preznit?
I’m so confused…
I support Nancy’s support of the National Guard supporting the ideals of our country.
There’s a support group for that…
National Guard units have been known to deploy in anti-fascist roles a time or two in the past.
I’m in full support of that.
How long is Q?
The sleep of reason brings forth monsters.

Moreover, Clarke said there has been a “crossover” between the QAnon systems and evangelical Christianity that is going to imbue right-wing extremism with the sort of violent fanaticism more associated with al-Qaeda or Isis.
Staying in DC makes sense. But what’s this with the National Guard troops being given bad food? Raw meat? Metal shavings? Tainted foods?
Well that’s just dandy.
“The Democratic leader noted that the decision was ultimately up to the Capitol Police…”
Well, that’s…comforting…
“We should have them here as long as they are needed,” Pelosi told reporters at her weekly press briefing.
Sub-text: Needed until right-wing media, the GOP and Trump stop inciting Trump supporter’s into threating to attack Congress and Congressional employees.
Yeah, I thought that stuff was reserved for infant food?
I’m not surprised by this at all. Both groups have an “all in, I’m right you are wrong” thought process of fanatics. They should tout it as “new and improved Q-Anon, now with more rapture”.
If only the rapture were a real thing. The line at the car wash would probably be shorter.
