Natl Guard deploying to DC for inauguration, Sending more troops than in Iraq and Afghanistan combined

| January 12, 2021

Jeff LPH 3 sent in this story. According to Military Times,

The Defense Department has authorized as many as 15,000 troops to be deployed to Washington, D.C., for the inauguration of President-elect Joe Biden.

National Guard Bureau chief Gen. Daniel Hokanson said that there will initially be a deployment of 10,000 troops — an increase of about 4,000 from those in D.C. now.

That figure is twice the number of U.S. troops in Afghanistan and Iraq combined.

“Right now we have 10,000 inbound and we’re authorized to go to [15,000],” said the NGB chief. The troops will assist District and federal agencies with “security, logistics, communications, and liaison missions,” he said.

Now get this tidbit;

Asked whether the Guard was taking special measures to screen the deploying troops — many of whom are already on their way to D.C. — for extremist ties, Hokanson said he was “not aware of that at this time.”

Colorado Rep. Jason Crow, who served as an Army officer in the 75th Ranger Regiment, had pressed Army Secretary Ryan McCarthy to direct a “[Criminal Investigative Division] review of troops deployed for the inauguration to ensure that deployed members are not sympathetic to domestic terrorists.”

For some reason, Military Times leaves out the customary notation about political affiliation on the Representative. Which is strange as he blanketly casts doubt on the loyalties of the citizen soldiers coming to protect him. I did the Googling so you can save yourself the time. Congressman Crow is a Democrat. You’ll perhaps remember Crow as one of the real heroes of the day last week.

How far away from loyalty oaths are we? Since last week, voting for Trump is an “extremist tie.”

Lars will be by to explain why Trump
Supporters are indeed domestic terrorists. Right after he wakes up late this morning.

Oh…. and to help save boomers by reminding them to wear a mask.

Ret_25X

Poor Lars, such a little dear…just like the denizens of the turd reich, he thinks his violence is “loving” and “helpful”, but any violence against his tribe of smelly looters is “seditious” or “anti-american”.

How people get that dumb is an open question, but may I suggest a possible answer?

Soy…lots of soy

Deckie

Lots of soy and mindless agreeing with your intellectual betters while being (re)educated in the UCB camp(us)

Oughta look at his Facebook page, too.

Lars thinks Bolsheviks brought freedom and cool stuff to Russia.

Slow Joe

He needs to study War Communism and how it catastrophically failed, forcing Lenin and his Bolsheviks to adopt economic reforms with the New Economic Policy.

Communism doesn’t work and never will.

Deckie

Their tired argument is “it can, if done right.”

Which is STILL wrong and impossible. But they’re that fucking stupid that they still push for it.

Like Steely Dan’s response to John Lennon’s “Imagine”

… “Only a Fool Would Say That.”

Sapper3307

Crow has gone Communist lite. I would love to hear some story’s from the men he was in charge of.

NEC338x

‘On Sunday, New Jersey Rep. Tom Malinowski took to Twitter to express his concerns regarding the potential sympathies of troops, saying, “I’m increasingly worried about this problem in the ranks.”’

To solve the ‘political problem’ in the ranks, we just need to adopt the Soviet zampolit. That will fix everything. Add some weekly political training in with the diversity training.

SFC D

So are we to now require our military personnel to swear an oath to support the President, and not the constitution? Gee, what could go wrong there?

Anonymous

That’s alway progressives’ favorite sexual fantasy (after cuckold play, of course) for some reason… must be the black uniforms.

Commissar

They are supporting the constitution.

The ones trying to overthrow the election are the ones putting their loyalty and obedience to Trump over their duty to the constitution.

Trump has committed multiple criminal acts while trying to stay in office despite losing the election.

And those trying to help him are betraying the constitution.

Those using violence to support him are traitors.

David

You do realize this is a self-appealing argument? You define “appealing the election” as a crime and everything flows from there… on that basis most of the Democrat party should have been executed in 2017. Null argument.

SFC D

And you are a fraud. I support the constitution. I do NOT support questionable elections. It is my right and my duty as an American to do so. Was there fraud? Maybe, maybe not. What I do know is that a lot of states revised their election laws in flagrant violation of their state constitutions, opening the doors to quick and easy fraud. I’m 100% in favor of investigating the states that may have violated their own laws, whether or not it was intentional. Federal and State governments are answerable to their citizens, and should always be questioned, party affiliation be damned.

Having this many Guardsmen in DC for the installation of the Senile Socialist Sundowner is probably the only way they could get anyone to attend the “event.”

…So are we to now require our military personnel to swear an oath to support the President,…

Hmmmm …. that sounds familiar….

Ich schwöre bei Gott diesen heiligen Eid,
daß ich dem Präsident des Vereinigte Staaten von Amerika
Joseph Biden, dem Oberbefehlshaber der Streitkräfte,
unbedingten Gehorsam leisten und als tapferer Soldat bereit sein will,
jederzeit für diesen Eid mein Leben einzusetzen.

Maybe we should start calling him Sepp ….

OWB

Were it not so pitiful, it would be amusing how frightened our masters are of the rest of us. Perhaps they would not be so paranoid if they were kinder, more honorable people.

Slow Joe

This Jason Crow dude, anyone seen his DD214?
Are we sure he is not a faker or embellisher?

I don’t know. I have a hard time trusting anything said by a Democrat. They believe the end justifies the means, which means they will lie, cheat, and kill to achieve their goals, regardless of the moral and ethical implications.

Sapper3307

It appears he had a RANGER tab but did not serve in the RANGER regiment. So I will let my brothers with a tab a nd scroll decide.

Slow Joe

So, he is Ranger qualified, but he is not a Ranger.

rgr769

Wearing a Ranger tab has nothing to do with whether a soldier or officer is an idiot or an asshole. I experienced both in the five years of AD after my tab was pinned on. Also, there is no shortage of Ranger qual’ed REMFs that never served in combat or in a 75th Inf. Regt. unit.

Slow Joe

Still, that’s pretty good.

I am surprised to see a real veteran swimming in the swamp.

Though life teaches that past services do not guarantee future performance.

Poetrooper

Crow supposedly served with the 75th Ranger Regiment. Wiki puts him in the 82D in combat.

It also states he was born, raised and educated in Marxist Madison, WI, so he’s likely a Red Diaper Ranger…

26Limabeans

Thank God he ain’t Signal.

It’s a small victory, but we’ll take it.

Yeah, no kidding.

So is Crow asking for personal loyalty oaths to Biden* ?

SiliconNacht is progressing.

Saw all of this coming, didn’t we? Wonder when the Blue Helmets will show up?

“Wreak havoc and let loose the Dogs of War!”

Commissar

Stop acting like Biden is being the authoritarian.

He is not even in office yet.

And you assholes are the ones supporting throwing out our election and installing a despot.

11B-Mailclerk

Quisle off somewhere else.

SFC D

Negative, you narrow-minded fraud. We are in favor of legal and accurate elections, and I question this one. We already had a despot in office, his name was Barrack Obama. “I have a pen and a phone”.

Forest Bondurant

Give it a rest, dickhead.

This time 4 years ago, people like you and your political party were already making arguments about election fraud – suggesting the Trump administration would be “authoritarian”.

Meanwhile, snowflakes were screaming about “Not My President” and generally shitting themselves – all before Trump was in office.

The left spent 4 years screaming election fraud, and now doing their level best to say it’s not possible.

Commissar

Thousands of Q d’eTwats are threatening attacks.

We have a death cult of brainwashed traitors who are trying to overthrow the democratic republic and install a despot. And many plan to arrive there days in advance. And armed.

15,000 is not the number of troops they needed to secure the inauguration…

It is a number intended to serve as a huge deterrent.

Whether an attack happens or not there will be hundreds of angry conspiracy theory addled shitheads in the area looking to disrupt the inauguration or send a message.

So there is also a need to plus up security at other potential targets in DC.

Slow Joe

Well, at least they are not wearing pussy hats. Those pussy hats scared the shit out of me. I had nightmares for years. I think I got PTDS from watching that on TV.

Flakpup

“PTDS”? You mean Post-Traumatic Demoralization Syndrome. It was sadly demoralizing to watch the crazy.

xyzzy

You might find this odd coming from a Trump voter, but I agree with you.

Like it or not, Biden is our President now. The Constitution, as well as the Laws and Customs of the United States all back this up. The Courts found no evidence of a steal. The Electoral College elected Biden; the Congress certified it.

So…we may have lost this inning, but the game ain’t over. With God on our side, we will win.

xyzzy

President-ELECT!

Coffee hasn’t kicked in yet, sorry.

Commissar

Thank you.

Your comment was like a life preserver.

I feel like I am drowning in a torrent of treasonous stupidity here.

11B-Mailclerk

So get out of the pool if you don’t like the swimmers.

It is not treason to say “this is bogus” . It is constitutionally protected. You folks were hootin about cheatin four years ago, and no one hanged you.

We mocked you, because disagree. Stop with the hypocrisy.

Rent a crowd. Well, you know Sleepy Joe might have a captive audience of 20 – 0k maybe 30. So some filler is needed.

Slow Joe

The big question is, could have the Democrats stolen the election without covid19?

I don’t think so.

So the Chicoms release the kraken, I mean, the covid19, and then the Democrats use it to steal the presidential election, therefore, China.

Commissar

Ok, you are not just ignorant…

You are an absolute moron.

Projecting once again, eh Major Moonbat?

11B-Mailclerk

Every time he sees himself in something shiny, he starts yelling. Weird

Commissar

After reading the comments; this blog has been overrun by fucking traitors.

You all support overthrowing a free and fair election and installing a despot.

It is disgusting.

No evidence supports your excuses. Just conspiracy theories and a fucking in exec useable and intransigent level of ignorance.

The transcripts of the election lawsuits are public. You lazy fucks could just read them and see that not only did they have an opportunity to present evidence eon most of them, but in some the judges demanded the present evidence.

The only times they did not have a chance to present evidence is when they lacked standing. Like Texas trying to sue other states for how they handled their elections. A bullshit lawsuit that they knew had no merits and was only meant as a performance, a favor for a Trump, so that Ken Paxton, a corrupt piece of shit, could get a pardon for his federal charges.

I truly have never been more disgusted with a group of people than I am with all the Q d’eTwat scumbags.

You are traitors. Literally. Not hyperbole. Literally. Genuinely.

The Other Whitey

Says the oathbreaking cockfuck who bragged of giving aid and comfort to a Marxist insurrection engaged in domestic terrorism. A highly-inept Marxist insurrection, but a Marxist insurrection nonetheless.

Go piss up a rope, Larsy.

Sapper3307

Lay of the Focalin homegirl.

11B-Mailclerk

Wrong.

Last I checked, going to court, protesting, etc, are all protected by the constitution. Speech, petition, the guarantee of a Republican form (structure, not party), etc.

Absolutely guaranteed, even if that rises to “this is bogus” or “this was stolen”.

Your ” treason” accusation thus fails the constitution test, as it is quite specified.

Stop wiping your ass with you commission, major. It’s unbecoming, and you look dumb.

xyzzy

Agreed. That is protected speech.

You know what isn’t, tho? Violence.

IDGAF if it’s Antifa storming a police station or Trump supporters storming Congress. Both are an assault on law and order. Both deserve the same noose – and for the same reason.

I support the Constitution of the United States of America and the Laws and Customs thereof. Disagreement with these is a protected right. Violence against them is sedition. Whether the sedition flies a red Communist flag or a blue Trump flag makes no difference.

Hang all that assault law and order, with no regard to their words or cause.

11B-Mailclerk

When you start busting heads, or other people’s stuff, you are over the line

Damn straight. 👍🏼

“You all support overthrowing a free and fair election and installing a despot.

It is disgusting.”

It’s only fair when election observers from BOTH parties are allowed to observe the counting of the votes. Observing means being able to visually inspect the ballot and observe the ballot counter recording the vote reflecting the will of the voter. Been there/done that.

pookysgirl, WC wife

You know those Atlanta officials caught on video counting votes after Republican observers left the building? Yeah, I had to deal with them last week because I work for an election reporting website that covered the special election. I flagged any suspicious numbers I found, but once again, there was a huge vote dump overnight that tipped the election towards the Democrats. Very frustrating.

SFC D

You are free to leave. You don’t have to post here. You’re no better than the “Q d’eTwat scumbags”. You swim in the same sewer. Be disgusted, nobody cares. Just do it elsewhere. Start your own forum. It’ll be small, a forum of one, but it’ll be all yours.

The only one around here advocating overthrowing a democratically elected government and installing mob rule was you, last summer when it was actually happening.

Prestone flavor.

OWB

Looking for an appropriate place to pose a coupla questions. Since this thread has already been hijacked, will put them here in spite of the fact that they have nothing to do with the topic at hand.

Did any of the idiots breaching the Capitol last week actually hear the speech at the Ellipse? If they did, how did they get to the Capitol? It’s a bit of a hike from one to the other. The logistics of getting from one place to the other quickly would be difficult if not impossible. Seems like a charge of inciting would need proof that the bad actors actually heard the words which were supposed to incite them.

Is it possible that those who broke stuff were doing so prior to the words which supposedly ignited their actions were even spoken?

I dunno. The timeline is important.

KoB

Trump’s speech cause the riots just as a music video caused the Benghazi Riots.

“At this point, what difference does it make.”

Poetrooper

Ol’ Poe would wager that the same folks screaming about Trump’s words inciting the Capitol violence would argue tooth and nail that violent anti-cop and misogynistic Rap lyrics don’t incite violence against cops and women.

Forest Bondurant

But to the media, Twitter, FB and people like Lars, words like “everyone” “marching” “peacefully” “patriotically” and “make your voices heard” have different connotations when applied to conservatives.

Words have different meaning now.

(Remember the “peaceful protests”, which was Lars-speak for the wonton destruction of private and federal property, looting, and violence – all without accountability?)

Me neither. It wasn’t that long ago, but it’s obvious folks who haven’t been paying attention have already forgotten.

SFC D

The Portland protests were so mostly peaceful that businesses can no longer get insurance.

11B-Mailclerk

I assume they had phones, thus could listen in real-time.

They were in well before he was done however.

OWB

Could and did are very different things.

xyzzy

I’ve walked it myself. It’s not that far. Maybe half an hour if you double time it.

So…possible, but unlikely.

OWB

Cameras would prove that they were hoofing it, right? Not that a group of folks rapidly moving toward the Capitol would draw any attention. Naw, ‘specially all those black clothes and helmets. And stuff.

So, where we those folks during the speechifying?

xyzzy

Speechifying? 🙄

I’ll assume that you meant ‘speaking’. 🧐

OWB

Naw. “…during the speaking” makes no sense. (Not that there is anything wrong with that.)

Substitute whatever word floats yer boat. “Pontificating” works, but implies a little more derisiveness than I wanted originally.

Jeff LPH 3, 63-66

At least crow has nothing to Crow about himself being a Ranger but only qualified.

This video came out in 2001. Every time I read of the sedition at the Capitol, I think of this video.

What did Rammstein know that we didn’t? 🤔

Try this:

Jeff LPH 3, 63-66

Where were the 15,000 Natl. Guard nongender troops during all the arson, looting and mayhem going on in the demoRat cities?????

UpNorth

They were still at home, because the left didn’t want to stop those riots. Arson, looting and mayhem in the furtherance of left wing causes is A-OK.

xyzzy

If I was in charge, the Antifa goons who torched those cities would be on the same gallows as the Proud Boy type groups who stormed the Capitol.

Am I the only one on here who feels that way?

🙄

11B-Mailclerk

Since no presstitute or poly-tick is saying “see! See! Proud Boys caught insurrecting in Congress! 11!” that no PB was caught inside.

If one was, haven’t seen a link/reference.

Poetrooper

And you can bet your ass if even a dubious connection had been made the Democrat media would be screaming about that connection nonstop…

xyzzy

Admin: You need to get an Edit Post feature on here. 🧐

Slow Joe

Or perhaps you need to stop blaming Trump supporters of the violence in the Capitol.

You know very well it was an pAntifa ops.

5JC

Nope, no edits.

xyzzy

I’m a Trump supporter; I don’t blame myself. Also, a lot of them had Trump flags. That makes them Trump supporters.

I also said ‘Proud Boy type groups’. Meaning groups like the Proud Boys. Not just them, but groups like them.

Also, where is your proof that Antifa staged this?

Poetrooper

“Also, a lot of them had Trump flags.”

Um, never heard of a “False Flag” op?

I’m not saying it was but the flags prove nothing…

Slow Joe

So, you believe the media a face value.

Haven’t you learned anything yet about how the media operates?

11B-Mailclerk

A very well documented hard-lefty was inside the Capitol Building. He said he was “documenting” the event, so the authorities, who seem to be out to arrest anyone anywhere possibly involved, skipped him.

Odd, that.

I do not, for one minute, believe that BS “excuse”. Those orgs don’t act alone.

UpNorth

Throughout the summer, who showed up at “protests” wearing black clothing, wearing helmets and carrying shields? With pipes and baseball bats sticking out of their black back packs? Were they Trump supporters, or were they on the far left end of the political spectrum?

timactual

Since all the bad things I have read about the Proud Boys have been opinions in the media (and Clarence Thomas is a racist, too!) I am not going to condemn them quite yet. Anybody got any actual evidence of their alleged racism, etc.?

rgr769

Several of their leaders are POC.
