The fence is up and guards present to prevent conservatives from stopping the coup that is going on inside as we speak. Pelosi is using the stupid capital invasion as a springboard to protect themselves as they take over our country. It’s pretty obvious who benefited from the rioting, so we can safely surmise the inner circle of dems engineered it. They spent 4 years whipping conservatives into a frenzy of outrage, and are continuing to do so, so they must fortify themselves. Follow the money. Follow the benefits. Follow the power. We need to adjust our constitution if it is unable to prevent such a coup as this. No committee meetings? No discussion? Everything by Executive Order? Where do “minority rights” figure in here.
relocate the stupid wall to the border … better yet, get rid of biden harris pelosi schumer kobishar … whatever her name is … etc. etc. and you won’t need a wall in washington
all this is no respect for America Constitution playing games with our lovet Army intimidating some people and spending millions of taxpayer money printing without producing as we still depending from China goods
After Sept 6th, I think this will be a permanent Capitol protection. This week, a Pentagon official on news told it like it is “What if this group had 40-50 well trained military types, there would have been hundreds of deaths” . The group in Capitol that day included VP Mike Pence & our Senators & Congressmen…..and this is group that makes this country run. We showed a chink in our armor & we cannot let this happen again in our nation’s capitol. The added troops are not due to Democrats as this poll indicates, it is real.
If we have an open border, we need an open Capitol!
The military leaders need to DO THEIR JOB: ie> arrest Pee-losi, Biden, & the whole stinking gang of communist traitors! We all KNOW the troops are there ONLY because the insurrectionist traitors in ALL 3 BRANCHES of govt are scared stiff that Americans will take them out & give them the traitor-death they so richly deserve!
I visited DC when I was 12 and again at 20. There were no guards anywhere. After 911 visited again troops with auto weapons roamed the Capitol
BUSH screwed us with the start of this communist state. We need 2 be vigilant our votes and make sure we r informed. Speak 2 our local news outlets when they lie.
This is a stunt masterminded by Pelosi to make Trumpsters appear as villians. Makes no sense, we need a fence and guards around our nation’s Capitol but we don’t need any fence or guards on our border with Mexico???
The only reason they would be necessary would be to arrest all the garbage in Washington. Please do a massive cleanup. Keep draining the swamp!
Why aren’t they in Texas helping people?? So it is OK to protect the few, the entitled, but not the citizens of TX without power and water?
The National Guard would not be necessary if it weren’t for the intentional efforts by the Democratic party and their supporters to create a narrative for their position. They encourage their supporters to “keep the pressure on” those that support Trump… in whatever form they think will be effective. It is why Antifa and other leftist groups remain as a tool… and why members of Congress sometimes “call” on them to go after Conservatives. THESE are the groups that we ALL need to be protected from. The Democratic party IS the party of fear. It uses fear… it promotes fear and it believes that the only way to “control” the populace is to create the atmosphere of fear. Why do they feel the need, you say? It is because they KNOW that what they are doing is wrong… and that they fear the people in this country who also know it, and whose lives are being impacted might eventually stand up and say…NO MORE! Those who support former President Trumps policies and agenda as well as most of the Conservative agenda WILL follow the law and that of the Constitution as long as those rights are protected. CONSERVATIVES WILL NOT BE THE ONES COMMITTING VIOLENT ACTS! We support and value law enforcement… and the rule of law. We do not seek to break either!
I find it interesting that
1. There was a threat the day before of flying a plane into the Capital Building on Jan 3rd while Congress was in Session. The Capital Building was out on High Alert. We’re was the security just for this? The FBI reported it to the local Police.
2. On January 2, The Mayor had the Capital police escort (with their lights in) a caravan of approximately 250 Antifa members into DC and put them up in Hotels. She didn’t have the Patriots escorted in… One of the Patriots videotaped the police sitting in front of the caravan and then turning on his lights and they drove on. Have you ever heard of a Mayor welcoming a terrorist group into their city and putting them up into a hotel knowing they are known for causing damage to your town. Violence, destruction, rioting, looting even killings? Knowing there probably will be white extremists groups show up that they will clash with as well as black lives matters in addition to approximately a million people?
3. On the day of expecting possibility a million people attending the rally, why was there no security?

Piglosi is a power hungry witch. She is a hateful woman and should be gone. The military isn’t needed in DC. It looks like china.
There are theories that President Trump dissolved the corporation that is the US Federal Government, because its policies are anti-American and anti-constitution. If this were the case, that would make D.C. a foreign country. Many believe that Trumps dissolving of the corporation mandated the military to shut down D.C. and isolate it from America. Many believe that Biden is not even in the White House. If this were the case, I am for the soldiers being there to stop the tyrannical fake government that is the Biden Administration.
It is ridiculous for our “weekend warrior” to be away from their families simply for the Democrat party to play political games.
I still want to know who authorized the call-up of the Guard, and why the State Governors allowed the call up of their Militia! Also, under what United States Code was the call-up allowed? As a former Guardsman, I don’t believe the call-up was entirely legal!
praying it is military preparedness to arrest biden , his handlers and 90% of congress
Are we sure that’s the real reason they are still there?!
Your questions are too slanted. You don’t give enough options.
Don’t Communist countries do the same thing?
If they need guards it only means they’re doing something wrong
already being said. 2200 local police should be able to handle whatever comes up which will be nothing.
The police should be able to handle any local riots unless they are told to stand down. The riot on January 6 happened because of neglect of Nancy Pelosi. They were warned that rioters might come. It was because she knew that Trump’s supporters are all peaceful and that she didn’t do anything, but because Black Lives Matter and Antifa were the ones dressed up as Trump supporters so used this event to their advantage and were the one’s doing the violence. Only a few of the Trump supporters got caught up in the moment because of the BLM and Antifa instigators. Trump himself said, a peaceful and patriotic protest that our voice may be heard. Voice, not violence made. That’s what BLM and Antifa does all the time and still doing. All you have to do is go to their website or better yet go to Portland Oregon, Seattle Washington, Minneapolis Minnesota, Los Angeles California, or wherever there’s riots, even today. But the news media are paid off by billionaire George Soros and the left. Even Wikipedia, so be alert and investigate for yourselves. Don’t be deceived by the world, the flesh, and the devil.
NO. LOOKS LIKE THE DEMOCRATS WANT A ONE PARTY DICTATORSHIP!!!
Just like this repetitive fake impeachment, wasted time, lots of taxpayer money for political show….There was no insurrection, no uprising, it was a planned scheme and there is now evidence to prove the left knew it was coming and did nothing to stop this planned rush of criminals on the Capitol Building….Now the real paranoia for the left is they have again been found out for yet another political scam and are scrambling to find ways to CYA and dodge the questions coming at them…Look for more lies than you can put in a large trash can to come….
I’ve been afraid of what would bwe done by those who orchestrated the coup to take our voice away. The only way I see to prevent them from completing their takeover is the Article 5 convention. We need the “Circuit Breaker”, provided for in the Constitution, to be used.
Protect our godlike elites. “We the Peons” deserve nothing.
In Rome the Carabinieri guarded the Vatican with submachine guns. I suppose that’s what we need here in the United States.
Rogue Opinion Alert. Rogue Opinion Alert. (Previously known as Minority Opinion Alert but I am not really a minority in the typical sense of the word, and yet I am exactly that.)
This is not the military of the Reagan era, nor the Vietnam era. Not in all cases currently but in many cases, the military has become an entity of improperly educated, brainless zombie storm-troopers that obey the commands without any regard to the rightness or Constitutionality of such instructions.
Sadly enlistees (and those not pointed toward the military out of high school) havent been properly educated in government, in civics, in ethics and God forbid they be taught morals or Godly principles.
So what we have is a force, that is more educated in the game hacks of Grand Theft Auto than Holy Scriptures. They have been kissed and coddled by military supporters as if they are selfless souls out into the unknown and perils of missionary work.
So while I support a military in its original intent, the military has failed in its purpose of supporting the Constitution. Otherwise, that Pedo-Jo would be in prison, and not occupying the top house in America. Otherwise, the REAL Legitimate President Donald Trump would be there.
Salute to the Vietman draftees, Salute to the families that suffered the loss of a loved one due to combat. I do not salute the millenial Pokemon playing – no recruit left behind – outcome based boot camp types that would shoot the LEGITIMATE President if ordered to do so military.
Stone me but this is my story.
Yes, I believe that the troops should remain on to contain the criminal elements of our corrupt government.
I believe that the National Guard is a waste of time and money, stationed at the Capitol. Keep an eye on the Capital, but with other means. I think it is all a show. As far as I am concerned, this has nothing to do with Trump. People with attack whatever, whenever regardless of who the President is or was.
With all the shenanigans going on in Washington D.C. they better keep the guard there.
The only unrest on Jan 6th was organized, planned and executed by the same powers that are keeping troops in Washington now, for the same reasons. This was the next step in a long, carefully designed coup. Unfortunately I fear more military on our streets is ahead for us.
People who do evil fear retribution.
We should keep them there. I believe after these investigations are complete, Trump will be appointed President and the left will freak out. Already one legislative seat was flipped in NEW YORK! from democrat to republican because voter fraud was found!!! Arizona and other states are currently doing investigations of their own….Trump is coming back!
The democrats are destroying this country, and will destroy anyone who stands in their way, including the republican party. They plan on setting the country up, so they can never have to relinquish their stolen power again. They are diabolical. They stage things and fabricate stories on purpose, to get control. Do not underestimate the corruption that is taking place.
The troops occupying DC are simply a police action by a treasonous, illegitimates, power drunk, and totally corrupt band of un-American anti-Americans.
Send them home and take that wall down.
NH Governor Sununu already recalled our troops after they were mistreated. I think all states should do the same.
This response is unusual by the government on “the peoples property”. They sure didn’t respond to the requests for extra security by Ambassador C. Stevens for the US Embassy/ Consulate in Benghazi, Libia. And former US Senator, Claire McCaskill, of Missouri said the presence of US military vehicles and personnel was “offensive” during any protests or demonstrations by our citizens in the US. And what ever happened to the statements that fences and other barriers don’t work to protect. That audacity, hypocrisy and contradiction is on full display, in DC, for the world to see. I’m sure dictatorships around the world are cheering!
Keeping 5,000 National Guardsmen in Washington D.C. is a waste of taxpayers money just like the impeachment. I believe the Democratic Party enjoys wasting our money. Further they enjoy bringing this country down. Their ultimate goal is to subjugate the United States to the New World Order, a fourth level of government. The billionaire boys club believes they can run the whole world through this governing order and maybe they can. After all George Soros stole an election.
…intimidate, demoralize, subjugate, enslave…
Keeping National Guard troops in Washington D.C. is an exercise in futility. The only reason they were really there was to protect Biden and Harris during the inauguration. There apparently never was any credible threat of another imminent attack against Capitol Hill because such an attack never happened.
If you need 5,000 troops to guard the presidential inauguration ceremony, perhaps you’re worried because you know that your victory is a fraud.
Donald Trump and his 74-Million Supporters do not pose an imminent threat to Biden and the New Administration since they are Patriotic & Law-Abiding Citizens, unlike the Democrat Minions and their Socialist/Communist “Useful Idiots”.
Perhaps, Biden & crew need to fear their own “Useful Idiots” that they lied to and are or will soon turn on them as well. This has all happened before with left-wing socialist/communist extremists such as those that just assumed power in our country.
The National Guard Troops were only needed in 4Q20 in DC, Portland, Milwaukee and other Democrat Leftist Strongholds where the local scurrilous Democrat-controlled government and their corrupt & violent minions such as Antifa, BLM, and other Marxist-Ideological groups such as those funded & supported by George Soros and the Democrats were allowed, and even encouraged by them to Riot, Commit Violence & Murder as well as other crimes.
They pushed false and fabricated claims to smear Trump and aid in interfering with the election — Including premeditated Democrat illegal voter fraud and violation of Constitutional Laws to “Steal the Election” for Biden (Our Illegitimate President and Criminal for Selling Out America with Ukraine Quid-Pro-Quo and China’s CCP for personal profit for himself and the “Biden Crime Family”.
Antifa!!
Don’t be surprised if the guard stays a lot longer than March
May be more to this than protecting those inside the fence, might also be to keep them in when the deceit and tyranny become fully evident to the American public. When it’s finally time to round up those whose part in selling out our country for profit is revealed.
We are in the beginnings of a military dictatorship.

Such riots are unusual for any occurrence at the Capitol property, and then-Pres. Trump simply called for a peaceful protest to discourage the Congress from certifying the electoral votes from the states.Therefore, extreme measures in response to one isolated incident are never warranted for any reason.
