Yep. It's going to be an historic image. If there's ever going to be a re-awakening in America, they will look back at this image as a reminder of what went wrong.

Welcome to Orwell’s Soviet Amerika. A subdivision of the global plutocracy-kleptocracy.

No sh*t.

Oddly, though, them playing all of their cards like this in 2020 and over the last couple weeks is also a sign that they think they've won. So, I'm wondering which is it? Maybe a combo of both.

We need to stick together more than ever now in these coming days.
Time to reconnect and strengthen bonds with family, friends, and anyone else we can reach.

They do not think they've won. This is not how people who feel secure in victory behave.

Another relevant Malicism: "The propaganda wouldn't be necessary if they were winning."

Very fair points...

I'm curious to see how this next week plays out. Will this weekend's events have pronounced impacts across the board, particularly with the stock market? I am very curious to see.

Are emotional, hysterical, pathological people ever “secure”?

Trump joked he could shoot someone in the street and no one would care. When given that power, Pelosi and friends will exercise it.

Regardless of what happens with things like stock prices and the like, they'll just try to put some positive spin on it (or blame it on something or someone else).

But the more strident their proclamations and protestations to the contrary, the less confident they are in their triumph.

Therein lies the real problem.

Animals that feel cornered are the most dangerous - but they do feel cornered (rather than secure), regardless of any noises they make to the contrary.

[Brian4Liberty]

Therein lies the real problem.

Cornered animals are the most dangerous - but they are cornered.

And these hysterical people always believe they are cornered.

So how many? 2k-5k tops? Lol.

Perhaps not without reason, if we are so fortunate.

[Nolan]

Hold on to your barrels everyone. They're coming in hard and fast.

It'll look like this, only "socially distant":

Empty Guns for Show.

I remember waving at those guys on my way home from the pub.

Big Coppeteers had Bullets in their guns.

Boy was I wrong...Approaching close to 30k now in the D.C.

The entire Washington, DC national guard (Camp Guards when I was at Gitmo in 06)
56th Stryker Brigade Combat Team (Pennsylvania Bloody Buckets... lots of combat tours... 'heavy armor' if you consider Stryker trucks to be 'heavy')
Troop B of the 102nd Cavalry Regiment (negative info on them... wiki sez they're a No-Go at any real deployments.)
1-114th Infantry Regiment (Joisey Guard, No-Go no deployments)
508th Military Police Company (Another No-Go Joisey Unit)
229th Military Police Company (Kuwait Defense 1990, doubt if any of them are still there... a No-Go Virginia unit)
153rd Military Police Company (Delaware NG, A single tour in 07-08 in Iraq)
102nd Military Police Battalion (NY NG...a No-Go unit w/zero deployments)
104th Military Police Battalion (NY Guard, No-Go NY no deployments)
229th Brigade Engineer Battalion (Virginia Guard, lots of deployments, in a non-combat role)
160th Engineer Company (Delaware Guard, construction, couldn't find intel on deployments... thin k these are the guys doing the fencing/blockades)
261st Theater Tactical Signal Brigade (Command and Control unit, one tour at my old base Victory in Iraq in 08-09)
198th Expeditionary Signal Battalion (Delaware NG, VSAT and comms unit...one company in South Carolina which DID deploy once in 13-14 to Kandahar)
1049th Transportation Company (Aviation trans... couple here'n there... ass and trash)
262nd Component Repair Company (you break it, they fix it, No-Go on deployments... to me, this means they expect to need to repair $#@! right then and there as opposed to waiting til they get home)
108th Wing (Refueling and Air-Recon Unit, multiple deployments)
177th Fighter Wing. (Air to Air F-16 Air defense... what the $#@! do they need them for?)
105th Airlift Wing (Air Trans)

On January 20th, 2017 I was in DC celebrating the inauguration of our DULY ELECTED 45th President Donald J Trump.

On January 20th, 2020 DC will be a police state , where the CRIMINALLY SELECTED USURPER-IN-CHIEF Biden will require the presence of over 6,000 military troops to secure his safety. Who says that crime doesn't pay ?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

Again, all this military presence and you'd think Trump would use them to arrest everybody that betrayed him.

Why am I also hearing China has troops staged in Canada and Mexico, ready to invade?

This may be about to become an ACTUAL WAR. Tanks. Bombs. The whole nine yards.

And we have teh people still stuck in DENIAL. They really believe "that could never happen here". I am sure the people that lived in Germany also believed something very similar just before Hitler took power...
