Hundreds of National Guard troops were sleeping on the stone floor of the US Capitol on Wednesday morning as security in Washington intensified a week out from Joe Biden's inauguration

SUPREME COURT: Fences were in place outside the Supreme Court on Tuesday
WHITE HOUSE: Restricted areas have already been established around the White House and Capitol grounds with extra security screenings in place for those trying to get access
WNU Editor: Just finished being on a Russian late-night radio show discussing what is happening in Washington DC right now.
Talk about optics before the inauguration.
16,000 thousand armed National Guard soldiers around a completely fenced-off Capital building. 5,000 more in reserve.
Total of 21,000 armed soldiers drafted in for Biden's inauguration
Throw in DC police, FBI, Secret Service, and God only knows how many more law enforcement officers.
And all because a few hundred stormed the Capital Building last week breaking a few windows and doors, loitering in the halls and elsewhere, ransacking a few offices, stealing some furniture, documents, and office equipment.
Rioters who are now under arrest and deservedly facing serious jail-time.
This is not a government that is afraid of its own people.
This is a government that is terrified of them.
Update: I love how the political and media narrative changes when it suits them.
Case in point.
The reaction from the media and political class to today's deployment of armed military personnel around the Capital Building is completely opposite to what they were saying to the unarmed National Guard deployment that occurred during the summer after President Trump was taken to the bunker by the Secret Service because a few hundred rioters were threatening to storm the White House .... Trump fled to bunker as protests over George Floyd raged outside White House (The Guardian).

It was suggested to Mayor Bowser to have more National Guardsmen. She flatly refused.
Further like in May/June, she demanded that the national guard be unarmed,
In a new twist she demanded that the 1,500 direct traffic.
Muriel was in on the false flag operation or she intuitively knows what to do.
Eventually the 10 to 15 fired Capital police will tell what they saw. It won't make the Democrat, ANTIFA, BLM, or Bowser look good.
Plus there are trump supporters, who attended the rally, who were near the capital building but never climbed the steps of the Capital building (Palace really). They have 1st hand accounts of ANTIFA being there.
We're coming to get your new refrigerator, nancey. And it better be packed top to bottom, sweetheart. Packed.
Putin is laughing his ass off. The illegal, underhanded tactics used but the Democrat P arty and affiliated liberal groups are so abhorrent that Russians viewing it from the outside will probably add 10 points to Putin's popularity.
Lukashenko is seeing this as mana from Heaven.
Xi is drafting plans to carve up the US. Some many current and former Democrat Senators are on the Chinese payroll.
"So many current ..."
"Xi is drafting plans to carve up the US. Some many current and former Democrat Senators are on the Chinese payroll."
Lighten up, Francis.
Senator Mark Kelley is on the Chinese payroll
Senator Feinstein had a Chinese spy on her payroll.
Former, retired Senator Boxer was on the Chinese payroll until caught.
Senator Kamala is not eh Chinese payroll. She is on the Biden emails
That is about 8% of Democrat Senators.
I reject H naught, which is that Democrats are not on the Chinese payroll.
Rep. Swalwell is on the Chinese payroll. He was paid "in kind". He did not report it on 1040 form. As cute and intelligent as Fang Fang is, she counts as a high class courtesan not a street walker. So Swalwell received over 1,000 not reported to the IRS.
Sleazy world of the £10,000-a-night courtesan
With penalties and interest, Swalwell owes the IRS at least $40,000. Fang Fang was not into Swalwell for his looks or his wit. She gave him goods or services. How did Swalwell pay her back?
"Lighten up>"
"drafting plans to carve up the US. "
Over the top? Maybe. By conventional thinking you are 100% correcto-mundo,
By Igor Panarin thinking or hybrid warfare, this is definitely possible. You have not wargamed (modeled) it out. You don't have a psychology or sociology degree. The few psych courses I have taken, I got straight A's I regret not being a double major and having psych as one of them.
Now people at The Foundation have probably wargamed it out. They were stood up a few years ago.
Make sure you get the right Foundation and know that The Donald is akin to the Mule in that he is or was unplanned for.
It was Hillary's turn. After all she stood by her man, was cheated on time and again ... It was her turn! She was owed!
Ah well, all is well that end's well. Biden is assembling the old Obama team of Nuland, Sam Power, ...
Obama must get real workout as puppetmaster with his hand up Biden's ass so far.
"Rioters who are now under arrest and deservedly facing serious jail-time."
I see you have upgraded your language from calling them 'protesters' to 'rioters'.
Well done.
ANTIFA was at capital hill. sO yeas there were ritoers there.
FTFY
'And all because a few hundred stormed the Capital Building last week breaking a few windows and doors, loitering in the halls and elsewhere, ransacking a few offices, stealing some furniture, documents, and office equipment.
Rioters who are now under arrest and deservedly facing serious jail-time.'
Cmon editor, they smashed a cops head in with a flagpole, crutch and fire extinguisher, and stormed a building where elected officials were in session. At least paint an accurate picture before applying the slant.
HJP
I did call them rioters.
Definition: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Riot
What you have listed is what rioters do.
And why I said some of these people are going to deservedly face serious jail time.
But does what happen last week justify the military presence of 21,000 armed troops and the presence of thousands upon thousands of other law enforcement?
That is a debate for the U.S. to make and not from an outsider from myself.
But I am talking about optics and what does the world outside see. Our view is different because we are outside the box.
And what they see is a government clearly terrified of its people.
