Every day more videos come out that show the madness of the mob. There were instigators with violent agendas and followers who mindlessly did what they were told. If they had found Pence or Pelosi, they would be dead and most of the mob would be wondering how they could have been so stupid.
Each of whom should be arrested, prosecuted and jailed; however, 25,000-30,000 troops is beyond the pale. This inauguration is going to be virtual with no parade, balls or other public events. Airlines have cancelled hundreds of flights. Hotels are declining bookings. AirNb is shutdown for the geographic area. I can understand, completely, blocking all avenues to the Capitol and stationing troops around the Capitol! One wonders how those who live outside DC, yet work in the District, feel about having to explain themselves To someone holding an M-16. Welcome to the District of Totalitarianism.
As a side note, with hotels accepting no business why are troops being forced to sleep on the floors of the Capitol? With this level of totalitarianism, why not just confiscate a few hotels for the troops?

No, they are not. The DC Mayor requested them.
Wrong. Trump is CIF of the military and they are there because he says they can be. Period. Chew on that for a while.

Sleeping on the floor is better than the ground. Also better than being a secret service agent for kushner and ivanka, they won’t let them use one of their seven bathrooms.
The show of force is a deterrent, otherwise the crazies would be flexing their collective muscles again.

While I am chewing, you may want to know he is the
CIC, not the
”CIF”. Usually, yes. In this instance, there is some question.

Which has absolutely nothing to do with the topic at hand. Considering my geographic area and neighbors, my information is likely more factual then yours obtained through the media.
I frequently ask these questions.
Is it Trump’s personality or his policies?
What policy, of his has adversely, impacted you?

Giving away tax revenue to rich people and corporations has impacted the whole country.

I presume you gained no benefit from the new tax laws.
Certainly businesses having lower taxes had nothing to do with the drop [lowest in 50 years] unemployment and gains made by minorities in employment, because only the rich benefited. Certainly only the rich benefited from the increase in family tax credits. Certainly 401Ks improvement benefited no one but the rich.
The fact is the rich have and always do manage to benefit. Unfortunately, for most of us, we have not the wherewithal to keep up with the IRS Code. On the other hand, it is the rich who establish charitable foundations from which many gain.

One has to wonder whether he has read the Democrat Platform. I read it in its entirety. He is in for a rude tax awakening.

Only mild chastisement for my typo? Kiss mine. There is zero question. Pelosi tried to get the military to take away his presidential powers and was flatly turned down. They are there at his pleasure and consent.
