Left side protestors need to stay the fuck home!!! Believe me, the bulk of the firepower is opposed to any sort of second coup attempt. The nutjobs will try again. But this time, there will b e proper preparations. Don't think they haven't already identified many, if not most, of the insider traitors. Not moving against them in order to prevent pardons.

and don't think anyone else can either. Obviously there are police personnel within the ranks of the terrorists. That's nothing new. But their declaration of war against our government is something else altogether.

sent both State Police and National Guard from our state to help. I am sure there must be others as well. I don't know if there will be more violence, but there is definitely more help to combat it. And......it will come out just how planned that was, from firing Mark Esper and hiring lackeys to stopping the briefings to the Biden team, to collusion with Capitol Police to refusing National Guard help from governor Larry Hogan from MD.

But the secret service is in charge, and almost certainly the military/NG is ready to move at a moment's notice. The second Biden is sworn in, Trump and his minions will be unable to prevent defensive actions against "enemy combatants"

with the Military Chiefs if Staff. The military leadership cares deeply about honoring their oaths to defend the Constitution.
