I thought US Troops in the Capital was illegal and disgraceful and an outrageous wielding of Trump's "dictatorial" powers.
This was explained to us in hysterical detail back in June.
But now we have ~20,000 armed patrolling the US Capital.
I guess it all depends on the political affiliation of the protesters.
WHERE'S,

Nailed it!! A POTUS the leadership class loathes can't have such protection. Neither can small business owners. The leadership class wasn't even seriously threatened yet they get all this. Not surprising of course.
