Right…
But anything less than that isn’t going to be enough. “Standby” isn’t enough.
And I don’t think Biden will want that optics. And I don’t think Kamala will push him to do it for the same reasons
I hope I’m wrong, it wouldn’t be the first time
But I really don’t think we’ll have enough in place, and that trump will do anything to avoid prison.
Hell, after last time they shouldn’t even let anyone close to the building. Set up a perimeter a block out and anyone that breeches doesn’t get back up again. I don’t think it’ll only take one bullet twice.
Attacking Congress to overturn an election has to be the definition of “fuck around and find out”. It can’t be less than protesting for civil rights.
It doesn’t matter what’s on standby off-site. Shit needs to be there and ready. A display of excessive force is the only thing that might prevent the attempt.
If they think the only thing between them and Congress is a couple dozen cops in riot gear…
trumpers aren’t known for their skills at risk assessment, they’ll go for it. Even knowing NG is a phone call away, they’ve blocked traffic in cities for dumber shit, the people doing it probably wouldn’t even know why they’re doing it, they’d think that was the whole “protest” like the rest of the city shutdowns they keep trying.
Biden is rightly not going to give a shit about “optics”. He cares about democracy. Full stop. There will be a fuck ton of military guarding the capital on Jan. 6.
We had the national guard post folks who were sleeping while armed in hallways in Congress in the aftermath of the last riot on the Capitol.
That seems like the minimum level of security that we should be having this time around, too.
