But that would involve having a president that didn't incite a fucking riot.

Responses:

DC's Mayor mobilized the National Guard yesterday. They're here. -- nm - David Jan 6, 12:03 2
- Not sure they are able to be deployed on federal property though, they were supposed to be helping direct traffic. -- (edited) - znufrii Jan 6, 12:04 1
  - Yes, that's correct. They're not allowed to use weapons per the decree. -- nm - David Jan 6, 12:06
Capitol building is federal property, so they’d have to be federalized to be deployed, and guess who they’d report to? -- nm - znufrii Jan 6, 12:03 1
- Fair enough. I guess I never realized they couldn't be deployed on federal property. Makes sense though. But so then why weren't they there to keep - sycor Jan 6, 12:07
yeah exactly. can anyone but him mobilize the NG? -- nm - amanda jeans Jan 6, 12:02
