At the peak, about 1,200 D.C. National Guard troops and 3,900 from other states were sent to the capital to back law enforcement during demonstrations that erupted over the death of George Floyd, a 46-year-old black man who died in Minneapolis police custody after being pinned beneath a white officer’s knee for nearly nine minutes. _____ $2.6 million for 5100 troops is $509 per troop-day assuming similar cost per troop-day.. 20k troops is around $10.2 million/day [iirc.. iraq deployment cost was around $2500 per troop-day.. ~100 billion year for ~100k troops] |

werewolf dictator
rank | Thu Jan 14 07:48:56 2021 is 20k enough.. consider that twitter alone banned 70k users at same time as trump.. presumably all "insurrectionists" and what if some national guard are on side of "terrorists" as tw suggests.. ¯\(°_o)/¯ |

rank | Thu Jan 14 08:28:05 2021 parler.. Users 2.3 million (active) as of December 2020[3] 15 million (total) as of January 2021[4] at 15 million radical right-wing terrorists who needed deplatforming.. maybe entire military needs deployment to dc.. if even that is enough |
patom
rank | Thu Jan 14 17:02:02 2021 I'll take 20K trained troops versus 20 million radical right wingers any day of the week. You just witnessed how well coordinated they were inside the Capital Building. I have a feeling that if they attempt a repeat performance, nobody is going to be holding the doors open for them. |
Dakyron
rank | Thu Jan 14 17:05:00 2021 There should be 0 troops in Afghanistan and Iraq. And if Capitol Police had opened fire on the retards, there would be 0 troops in Washington. |
jergul
rank | Thu Jan 14 17:21:30 2021 The equivalency is misleading. Troops in DC are not getting their force multipliers. Their combat value as such is negligable. But they can certainly keep order and deter civic disorder. |

kargen
rank | Fri Jan 15 06:31:03 2021 "You just witnessed how well coordinated they were inside the Capital Building." Which makes you think who ordered the capitol police to stand down and why did they continue to stand down when fellow officers were being injured. No way that motley group of fuck-ups should have made their way into the capitol building. THey were essentially let in. |

Paramount
rank | Fri Jan 15 10:40:25 2021 ” Its bad that we need them in DC to keep the peace.” Maybe it is good for the radical left as the soldiers are there to cement the steal. Could this be the real military coup? |
murder
rank | Fri Jan 15 15:35:35 2021 "Its bad that we need them in DC to keep the peace." We don't. We just need to round up all the nazis, white supremacists, white nationalists, white ragers, confederates, proud boys, 3%ers, boogaloos, angry incels, militia members, anarchists, mobsters, gang members, and foreign agents, and march them into a large BBQ pit. Once the smoke clears, the air will be much cleaner. |

rank | Fri Jan 15 15:42:57 2021 "No way that motley group of fuck-ups should have made their way into the capitol building." But they were mostly white. People were beating cops without consequence because they were white. People get shot by cops pretty much every day for making a "menacing" move, taking a fighting stance, or holding a stick. These cops literally risked getting lynched to avoid opening fire on an angry (mostly) white mob. And you'll note that all it took was a single shot to settle them all the fuck down. |

rank | Sat Jan 16 01:26:37 2021 habebe, according to early reports of the PO that died he died of a fire extinguisher to the head. |
murder
rank | Sat Jan 16 02:56:04 2021 Early reports are often erroneous. Also sometimes things get confused and people that hear things put 2 + 2 together and get 5. It's possible. If one cop was beaned with an extinguisher, it's possible that another was too, but it's also possible that the cop that died died for other reasons. |

rank | Sat Jan 16 14:54:50 2021 "Murder cring racism when the DC rioters are being treated way more harshly than any participant of the BLM insurrection is hilarious." As my dad was fond of saying ... "You can play with the chain, but don't touch the monkey." Burning cars and looting Target are not going to get the same response as trying to topple the US government and install a dictator. Sorry. |
murder
rank | Sat Jan 16 14:57:07 2021 "Also...I thought walls don't keep anyone out?" Does that look like an impenetrable barrier? It doesn't have to keep people out. Just slow them down long enough to get a clean shot. |

Dakyron
rank | Mon Jan 18 03:27:00 2021 Unlikely here. Lots of fucktards but the state is notoriously harsh on criminals. Gov is also anti lockdown. So that helps. I would absolutely turn in my neighbors if they were plotting anything |
Wrath of Orion
rank | Mon Jan 18 04:54:45 2021 "guess the terror attacks" With the scrutiny this is receiving, I'd probably bet none prior to/during inauguration. Once things have calmed a bit after, though, is another story. Rugian will certainly take that to mean the FBI is part of a giant conspiracy and the warnings were false flags, etc. He's sounding more and more like Fucking Retard every day. |
jergul
rank | Mon Jan 18 13:05:41 2021 At the very least, there is going to be an uptick in lone wolf domestic terrorism as "the steal" will become a stab in the back theory that explains everything from divorce to home foreclosure. |
werewolf dictator
rank | Mon Jan 18 13:21:03 2021 the stab in the back theory was that russia "hacked the election" and tampered with vote tallies in 2016 [66% of democrats polled believed this].. and russia had kompromat peepee tape and russia is behind every move of trump and #moscowmitc.. to nypost "disinformation" on hunter biden laptop that needs heavy handed social media censorship.. to likely culprit in turning heat off in fargo this stab in the back theory led less to lone wolf attacks [such as sending trump ricin] and more to monolithic coordinated censorship sponsored by big tech and deep state and biden and msm |
