His Assistant Secretary of Defense has clearly stated Trump brought up the use of the National Guard. Even the WaPo posted that story.
In reading the article, I'm surprised you didn't notice that being mentioned within it....
"Trump did say during a 30-second call on Jan. 5 with then Acting Secretary of Defense Christopher Miller that “they” were going to need 10,000 troops on J*** 6, according to a statement Miller provided to a House committee in May 2021.
But Miller added that there was “no elaboration,” and he took the comment to mean “a large force would be required to maintain order the following day.” He noted that domestic law enforcement believed they had sufficient personnel."
Excellent work in your research, KnightLady.
I suspect many will dismiss it as not fitting their preferred narrative.
Again, thanks.

Thank you, C-L. In my many years on this forum, I have often been kept at bay by recollecting a quote by Dwight D. Eisenhower - "I despise people who go to the gutter on either right or the left and hurl rocks at those in the center." ...or, IMO, those who simply have opposing views.
I try my best to stay out of the gutter. It is not easy.

slatten49's response: "I have not heard of any assassination talk and would be unequivocally opposed to such.
President Abraham Lincoln once said, 'The b****t is stronger than the bullet.' This is a very significant quote because it helps us realize how important our v**e really is. I believe he was also quoted as saying that 'b****ts are the rightful and peaceful successors to bullets'. Sadly, John Wilkes Booth thought otherwise, and the nation suffered as a result.
Again, I agree with the rail-splitter."
“B****ts are the rightful and peaceful successors of bullets; and that when b****ts have fairly and constitutionally decided, there can be no successful appeal back to bullets.” - Abraham Lincoln in May of 1858
The b****t is stronger than the bullet because the majority will convict the folks who attempted to override the b****t with violence. If we don’t respect our own democratic rights then we are prey for any gangster.

Tom, I believe your 'gut' to be right. Too many on the right accept e******ns as being fair and secure only when they win. In their way of thinking, losing automatically has them assuming that the e******n was r****d.

Welcome, Lash
As many (if not most) on OPP are older, you should fit in with the forum's members. In topical discussions, vitriol often runs rampant, so it may be necessary to develop thick skin. Yet, you will find many that are friendly and easy with whom to get along.
Enjoy your stay with us

A man died and went to Heaven. As he stood in front of the Pearly Gates, he saw a huge wall of clocks behind him.
He asked, 'What are all those clocks?'
St. Peter answered, 'Those are Lie-Clocks. Everyone who has ever been on earth has a Lie-Clock.
Every time you lie, the hands on your clock move.'
'Oh', said the man. 'Whose clock is that?'
'That's Mother Teresa's', replied St. Peter. 'The hands have never moved, indicating that she never told a lie.'
'Incredible', said the man. 'And whose clock is that one?'
St. Peter responded, 'That's Abraham Lincoln's clock. The hands have moved twice, telling us that Abraham told only two lies in his entire life.'
'Where's Joe Biden’s clock?' asked the man.

Nice t***sfer/deflection, Darling.
When I first read this online, it was Donald Trump's clock being used as a ceiling fan. Regardless of who is the recipient of the punch line, it's a funny joke
