Where are all the people from the election and Trump thread that repeatedly told us, no matter how much Trump clearly stoked this fire, that something like this was never going to happen?
NG deployment first falls with governors. It’s their protection against the federal army. DC mayor has that power if s/he is given other state NG to use.
‘Army’ & ‘National Guard’ are two mostly distinct entities.
Were they many and the football is on.
Its fecking accounts such as this twat which Twitter needs to remove:

Maryland then?
Maryland NG has already been deployed in DC as of yesterday (or very recently).
Nope, MD has no jurisdiction over DC (it would be like Texas helping).

Apparently, request for National Guards were denied because of the "optics".
Feck’s sake.
DC can request & has in the past requested NG from both Maryland & Virginia. Think it’s the only relationship of its kind.
Oh Wow, MD is helping!
That's amazing since DC does have a national guard.
Cant wait to see which Trump cnut ultimately denied the request.
Uh huh?
I know this is very late, but for anyone else: literally any TV channel or news site.
In France they would have been beaten down a long time ago infront of optics. The cultural difference is amazing.
Apparently a woman has been shot in the chest and is in a critical condition on the Capitol grounds
On the bright side these are "just" moutbreathers who are probalby taking tough guy selfies once they are in the building. If they were capable, organized people with a real plan they could be bringing explosives, nerve gas or whatever into the building in this chaos. They could've ended American democracy right then and there.
Moron -should not be saying no violence, he should be telling them to get out
I don’t think it does, does it?
Might be a size issue, then?
If it does, then why are sites stating that only the president can deploy NG in DC?
Because it’s federal land I believe.
I have a feeling this will end with Trump getting an ultimatum from his party and administration. Concede or be removed from office.
Huh. I may have been completely erroneous in my statements then.
Is this the pivot?

I wonder how the Russians and Chinese are looking at this.
Calling this a civil war makes mockery of actual civil war.
Plus there's no war. Nobody's fighting against the protestors.
