The 5,000 are just hanging around because there is social chat about a repeat of 6 Jan some time in March Yay Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
first off I have little experience with armed camps with razerwire topped fences that being said the ones i know/knew of were to supplement offensive invasions. (and, I just don't like it) ................................. curious: how many of the soldiers are militia supporters?
Because Qanon has announced that Trump actually won the election and will reclaim his rightful rule on March 6th. Have you ever tried to invade someone with razor wire? It's not an offensive weapon. It's defensive - it prevents people from climbing fences and (for example) vandalizing the capitol, stealing things, shitting on the floor and killing cops.
It's March 4th. That used to be Inauguration Day until 1937. The "argument" is that every administration since has not been "legitimate" ( as if what actual day a president is sworn in matters.), and therefore Trump will be sworn in on that day as the "true POTUS".
No. The soldiers and the fences are there to protect the democratic institutions of the nation from those who want to tear them down and install a dictator. There is a credible threat of another attack on the Capitol by Trump supporters. Sensible steps are being taken to try to protect the duly elected representatives of the American people.
It's March 4th. They believe that Grant was the last legitimate President who was inaugurated on the 4th of March. So they believe that Trump will become the 19th President. The soldiers are there to make sure Trump supporters don't try to stage another coup.
Oops, I missed the first one When did that happen? (some days, I think that I simply must pay attention to this crap)
It's safe to say that you are really bad at this.. https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2021/01/11/capitol-riot-self-coup-trump-fiona-hill-457549 https://www.theguardian.com/comment...ump-mob-storm-capitol-washington-coup-attempt https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2021/01/attempted-coup/617570/ Then again, your form matches that of other Trump supporters and QAnon types.
Coup: noun noun: coup; plural noun: coups; noun: coup d'état; plural noun: coup d'états; plural noun: coups d'état 1. a sudden, violent, and illegal seizure of power from a government. "he was overthrown in an army coup" OK When did that happen? or are you communicating something different?
Ah yes Myanmar and that would explain the need for 5000 soldiers armed with automatic weapons in our nation's capitol?
Try to keep up. I addressed that matter in post #11, above. billvon also did it in post #7. Bells also did it in post #12.
I challenge your opening premise. How does this follow? What you are seeing is democracy being actively defended and protected from challengers. What you're saying is kind of like "I guess my installation of a lock on my front door to keep out squatters is proof that I no longer own my house." It isn't. It's proof that I'm able to successfully defend my house from squatters. The lock casts no doubt on the fact that I still own my house.
