20,000 armed troops in dc.

I’ve never seen anything like this before.

Full kit with a six load carry.

Not a humanitarian effort.

Photo op?
Display of force?
To quell an insurrection?

No one really seems to know.

Yes we’ve all seen the flyers and heard chatter about protestors and angry people coming back to DC.

Maybe the 20,000 troops and the military installation downtown will stop that.

But they’ve also upped the ante big time.

If someone wants to make a statement they gotta go big.

Part of me thinks the 20,000 armed troops and military installation with massive vehicles, barbed wire, and barriers everywhere is just more gaslighting of the left.

"See what we have to do to protect you?"

But then again, people just got killed at the Capitol.

At the same time as 20,000 armed troops occupy DC, the Mayor requested there be ZERO first amendment permits this weekend.

- Armed troops.
- No free speech.
- No free movement.
- No 2A rights.

This is a big deal.

Seems like the most important time to show up with a gun and speak your mind with whomever you choose would be a presidential inauguration.

But in 2021 a Presidential Inauguration has to be done while basic constitutional rights are suspended?

It ain't right.

Sources at DC MPD tell me they are baffled by the armed troops in the city. Usually the National Guard is equipped with a gas mask, a flash light, and not much else. But right now they're in full kit and there's a massive vehicular presence as well.

Check points everywhere.
