National Guard keep watch on the Capitol, Thursday, March 4, 2021, on Capitol Hill in Washington. Capitol Police say they have uncovered intelligence of a "possible plot" by a militia group to breach the U.S. Capitol on Thursday, nearly two months after a mob of supporters of then-President Donald Trump stormed the iconic building to try to stop Congress from certifying now-President Joe Biden's victory.
The request underscores the continuing concerns about security and the potential for violence at the Capitol, two months after rioters breached the building in violence that left five people dead. And it comes as law enforcement was on high alert Thursday around the U.S. Capitol after intelligence uncovered a “possible plot” by a militia group to storm the building.
The more than 5,000 Guard members currently in Washington, D.C., are all slated to go home on March 12, ending the mission.
Our Good Criminal Government did this to themselves. Let them Vend for themselves Against the Toddler Dumpster An the Cult. They Wanted White Supremacist in Charge Deal with It.
Then they need to be fed and rotating shifts every four hours.
Perhaps the National Guard should permanently replace the Capitol Police so Americans can save some of our tax dollars. Why don’t Americans get to vote on these things? We need to ban together and Vote a No Confidence on All of our countries leaders that are doing America wrong
SandraSentinel If you were elected by the people you don't need 20,000 national guard to protect you! Is this Cuba?
I want to live in an America that is free, protects individual Liberties, allows its people to speak and think. I don't want to live in an America that puts up walls around its Capital to keep the people out. Uses Troops to threaten violence against its people. That's Fascism.
Yes the Capital is occupied! Remember when Democrats where calling Trump a Fascist because he threatened to use National Guard and Feds to restore safety when mobs were burning cities. Now the DEMS are doing it. With 5000 troops and a wall. No media calling it Fascism now!
Another example of the Democrats refusal to release Fascist power. Build a fence around the Capital, until a permanent wall can be built. Use National Guard to protect until permanent Turrets can be constructed. Need to be ready when Granny with MAGA hat and mini flag comes!
Deliberately keeping The People out of their own house. This is what Communist revolutions do; it's certainly NOT Democracy.
Anyone with a brain knows that the alleged threat to the Capitol was a hoax initiated by the left to keep the Guard. Amazing how they want police and walls around them but not at the border. Hypocrites the lot of them!
Well we know that the police in DC have been collaborating with Pelosi from day one. There's proof of that.....by their meeting before the so called insurrection. Now their asking for the National Guard to remain Just a sorry ass PR move by Nancy.
Do not turn the National Gaurdsmen into a pretorian guard. Its time to send our Citizen Soldiers home to their families. Capitol Police need to resume their normal duties.
Smart move.
CLIMATE CHANGE AOC SAID 3 yrs ago we had 12 yrs or we are done. 9 yrs left. KERRY got back in the Climate accord still allowing 10 yrs to China and India to just begin. HOW CAN YOU TAKE IT SERIOUSLY when they don't start till the deadline passes. PEOPLE you were SCAMMED. SHEEP
In one month Biden has allowed so many or our rights to be stripped from US ALL OF US you too when you find they do something against you SOON. You have just given the CAPITALISTS YOU HATE THE POWERS ALL THE POWER FOOLS.
Why do Dems want this when they cut our police forces A takeover. THEY WILL PASS THE MOST HORRIBLE THINGS TAKING AWAY THE PEOPLES POWERS AND NO ONE WILL BE ABLE TO PROTEST ON EITHER SIDE. ONLY THE INNOCENT PEOPLE DURING RIOTS ARE UNPROTECTED NOW
This is ridiculous. They had all the help they needed that day if they just would have asked. 10,000 were available to them and after a bomb was dropped the night before they were negligent in not asking for help. ASK PELOSI WHY SHE DIDN'T. OR WAS THAT THE PLAN TO SQUASH VOICES
Yep, definitely a resounding legitimate election victory which is why they need troops around the Capitol...just like Venezuela. 80-plus million votes yeah ok. They’re worried more completely unarmed sissies in Viking outfits will overwhelm Capitol Police again.
How many levels of protection is needed? Youve got 1. DC police, 2. Metro police 3. Capital.police 4. Special forces police. This is alot of protection considering the liberal mantra. DEFUND THE POLICE.
They may be occupying us as long as they occupied Afghanistan.
One of the antifa groups (GAF/Youth Liberation Front) organizing a riot for 6 March posted the following tweet clarifying that they want violence. I have written & spoken many times about how far-left groups & accounts organize violence openly on Twitter with impunity.
Military State Continues
Smell like political theatre much?
Much of the country still thinks officer Sicknick was murdered. Never underestimate the power of propaganda and complicit media and tech oligarchs. TheBigLie
Feed them good Red cross coffee trucks good it cold in DC 4 hr shift changes
If your state still has them there it’s time to change your Governor
Let these people go home before the establishment ships them off to Syria in a month. Is that what I'm supposed to do nance?
Maybe they wouldn't need security if they just need their job's instead of screwing over the Citizen's of our Country
But, the law and order party would never!
Interesting start to the first hundred days, LOL! The people aren’t allowed in people’s house which is protected by a razorwire wall and walls don’t work so let’s tear down the wall because loving parents C FCC subject their Kids through hell so we can reach a humanitarian crisis
For as long as the threat exists, they should remain.💪💪💪💪
They wanna keep feeding them metal shavings
I’m sure if Democrats have way they will stay as long as they have power! Obviously they know they are up to no good or they would have nothing to fear. Trump2024
What security concerns
Easy fix...get rid of every politician in the world...the world's problems will end.
'Just for after the riot.' 'Just till the hearing.' 'Just till after the hearing.' 'Just till March 4th.' 'Just for another 2 months.' Lol, people are so fucking gullible.
🚨🚨Military occupation of DC, following the Chinese/Globalist backed Democrat Coupe in the 2020 US Election There☝️☝️I’ve just done ’s job for them, but instead,they would rather SHILL for bidens totalitarian regime!! TrumptosaveAmerica Trump2024ToSaveAmerica Trump
The national guard is there to protect against un armed protest/trespassers The were prevented from intervening when actual rioters were burning killing and looting
What happened to the intel that lead to the buildup? The boogeyman didn't show up?
This seems craaaaazy....
The US is a failed state
Dems are really milking this for everything its worth... Know who else liked to surround his capital with troops against an imaginary enemy?
Dems are the biggest security threat to our country!!
He finally got a wall like he wanted😳
The U.S. is fighting Asad and killed Gadaffi for allegedly using soldiers against their own civilians. Yet they have deployed soldiers against fear of citizens who own no spear
Bull! They don’t people close enough to see Kamala in the Oval Office.
🤣
Wait, they're not deploying the social workers?
Noahpinion LOL
All demoncrats right now in D.C. !
This is complete insanity. Dems pushing actual conspiracy as reason for indefinite presence of national guard. We are so fucked. Dems can’t see it
Police state
The Democrats have to keep them there to hide their agenda against American
CAS2328 Pelosi’s storm troopers
Noahpinion Wow is antifa planning another attack disguised as proud boys lol? Or will it be BLM disguised as white nationalists this time? Let me tell you something, the chickenshit rightwing shot its bolt. That was it. Nobody's showing up to get thrown in prison. Just a bunch of gabbing.
A disorganized mob is not capable of a coup. Get real. Everyone knows the military(ARMY, MARINES) would have TOTALLY crashed that party, and made sure the EC vote was completed. Soldiers swear an oath to protect the constitution, not a politician. This here, is for show.
I used to get paranoid when I did too much coke, but this shit is crazy. We sure Biden's not a massive coke fiend and just thinks Qanon are trying to get in to his new house?
Ok .... so ....defund the Capital Police or shut them down for good ....
GOP policy achievements
An act of an actual dictatorship.
End this. This is ruining our country
I thought the national guard was full of racist trump supporters
Send them home!
Get your act together capitol police..
Unreal
They are going to change the USA's MONEY ...people will be not HAPPY CAMPERS
'We're just going to keep the fences and armed guards around because reasons.' Seems legit.
Ridiculous nonsense. Send these troops home and quit using them as props.
If they want the NATIONAL GUARD for however long, they should be shown the respect they deserve and be given BETTER accomodations than they have
Lol. There is no security threat. It is all made by Beijing Biden and his ilk. They just need an excuse for why Biden can’t give a state of the union address. Biden is going senile if he is not already there.
Are they rotating out so that they can return home?
FBI CIA Vice President Mr President a.s.a.p. Read these carefully ! Force of Moshiach God Bless
dahboo7 Fear is a lie.
The East Lawn used to be a wonderful place for peaceful protests: immigration, net neutrality, Me too, March for our Lives... How quickly things changed....
安全问题从来都不是小事，外松内紧从来如此，就算在中国，一些首长亲兵仍然配枪的
Lmao
Something just does not seem right, National Guardsman defending our Capital from Citizens of this country? Could this be a flash back from the sixties, seventies, and Kent State. Just don't know, it seems that we could be going down the wrong road and fast. 1776
Something is not right here🤔
America is guarding the Capitol, afraid of ... amerikkka 🤔
Where are they going to sleep and what are they going to eat.
Democrats are always for defunding Police. Then what is this ?
They are scared of Americans.
The press roasted Trump endlessly when he suggested the national guard to help control Antifa/BLM.
Vacation is over CapitolPolice.If you can’t secure the premises from protestors w advanced notice,doesn’t say much for your daily job-to protect our finest Americans (sarc) in Congress from terrorists,assassins or episodic tourists . & stop using the NationalGuard for show!
They will need to remain in place until a legitimate regime is inaugurated.
What fucking concerns
It's permanent
I call BS
FOX: Why is the natl guard still at the Capitol? That’s the peoples house and that’s martial law
Translation: we’re about to try some shit and will need protection
Idiot's
What are the rules of engagement when an armed group tries to storm on to federal property?
sendthemhome
Governors should recall their Guards immediately. This is BS
Military police state 'Every single American should be OUTRAGED by this: Democrats just voted to ban voter ID nationwide and force every state to permanently expand mail-in voting.' - Steve Scalise
Why can't the feds take it to the militias like they would a blk guy selling a dime bag of weed on the street corner
Thanks a lot, Qanon. You too, GOP. Tax dollars towards domestic terrorism you stirred up with literal delusions.
Send the guard home to their families! Biden has wasted enough money and not taken care of them.
Because when they pass that unconstitutional gun control bill they know there will be war.....
Yes if they are going to try something it Will be on a date they haven't mentioned they won't advertise the exact date.
What a joke
How much is the fed govt paying the states that have provided natguard troops ? What states have sent troops ? Who is responsible for deciding which states send troops and how much pmt they receive
I hope they keep the NG at the Capitol till atleast 2080 🙏 We must suspend all future elections to protect the integrity of our electoral system! Anything less than that is racist, bigoted, homophobic, islamophobic, fat-phobic, transphobic & yes antisemitic
Cause he is a racist Dictator
Concerns over what? Another stolen podium? Give us a break... Can they at least take proper care of these men they are screwing over? Actually feed them something that wont make them sick? A place to sleep with heat? This is disgraceful.
Because it is only tax dollars for show! No real threats just showing the tax payers who’s boss.
Why because the police can't do the job. How more stupid can this actually get.
Waste of money
Biden sure is scared of something!
Funny how the communists in power seem to feel the need for security from those that the believe they rule
interesting that the fun control president has a whole standing army protecting him
Two weeks to flatten the curve.
That's a vote of non confidence for US Intelligence.
Fake threat to allow Democrats to continue the power grab.
With so much of the National Guard in DC, what happens if riots break out in say, Minneapolis or Seattle? Or even Portland? I guess we’ll never know.
Here's a thought. Why don't we expand the size and mission of the Capitol police so this isn't necessary?
Wtf
All the people here talking bout “hunting down” or “going after” the ‘insurrectionists’ aka political opposition 😂 oookk, Nazi much?
Thanks GOP
Is the real 'concern' that people will expect Congress to start doing their jobs?
Bet if Biden & Harris promise to fulfill their demands-I mean 'requests'- Antifa will gladly take over for the National Guard.
JFC 🙄
Just two more months to stop the spread. Geesh!
No.
Defund the police, but turn DC into a militarized zone. Got it.
Militias will just replace the missing state guards now
All of the governors should say NO. GovWhitmer migov SenGaryPeters SenStabenow
Would they still have to sleep on the floor and eat moldy, undercooked food?! I find myself wondering where the hell I am these days.
Pathetic. With all the security apparatus the US Govt has it’s disposal it runs scared of an online conspiracy theory. Maybe they are too busy trying to set up political opponents.
Nonstop BS from the NationalGuard
The castle now officially has a garrison
Newsflash: They'll keep getting extended. They're never leaving
It's VERY telling that all the MAGA nuts are out in force in these comments trying to convince people there 'is no threat,' or that any threat is the fault of Biden/Democrats. Gee, I wonder why they'd prefer that be the narrative... 🧐😑
Stop this fear mongering. Send the “Army Guys” home. Enough is enough. If insurgents show up arrest them and use lethal force if they resist.
If they aren't going to arrest kamala and Joe, what's the point of them even being there
This is so dumb, government wasting our tax dollars again
Fuck no, this is reaching hysterical levels. Nothing happened today to warrant this request
Nothing more permanent than a temporary government program
A possible qanon plot. Lmaoooo
Whoever is still believing this propaganda shows me how totalitarian regimes take over to begin with. You suckers are more than willing to give up any freedom in the name of safety from false threats. And if you point to jan 6th then that proves it all
Hey I’m a Indigenous trans woman in need of getting the funds to transition if you could donate/share that would be amazing. Plus I also have a cash app: $LRosess LGBT trans surgery
When will the trailer trash calm down
Same article under Trump: 'Lacking any evidence, President Trump said there are security concerns at the U.S. Capital. Experts dispute the claim noting only five peaceful protestors showed up today.'
Sure he'll doesn't look like any of them are acting like they won a legitimate election.
False Flag
And yet you dont show the news article on them being feed raw meat and their getting sick over it
robincaphill
You should cover this story on the assumption that the security concerns are false until proven valid.
Yeah, OK.
The occupation of DC by National Guard troops needs to end. Send them home now. Governors should pull their troops back and force the Administration to federally activate them if they want to keep their occupation force in tact.
Yes, this is normal. In such a great, safe place now
Besides the AP being a Democrat propaganda tool. This is a false flag.
To exist as an economic system, socialism requires a police state.
Lol that's cause nothing big happened.
What a joke
Why don’t you start doing some interviews with the people that live in dc. Would love to see what they think km out all this.
There is no legitimate reason to keep our troops there in DC. We should send our troops home immediately.
This is a fucking joke of a regime lmfao
So... Permanent, then?
Why would this be necessary? The CP can’t handle this ridiculousness on their own? Deployments come with a price, I doubt any of these troops would think this is a mission worthy of their sacrifice.
So sad, but extremely necessary.
We beat fascism!
Prolonging the Capitol’s protection It’s the least that can be done for now while the distracting rumble continues. Once food and work along w vaccination flow steadily the most disgruntled rumbles will subside🙏
Government is completely broken
Horse shit this is nothing but communist democrat oppression 🖕
More money well spent.
Mooooooore fake news from butt-hurt lefties
Probably because they know DEMs shouldn’t be holding all three offices at once. Failed Democracy
Bidens America.
Lol! Waiting for them to squirt ketchup on their shirts and play dead for CNN. Tell play it up somehow!
Bs
absurd
Dems need their show of military support. Very military coup look to this presidency.... especially since there was no armed insurrection on Jan 6 and no one showed up for their made up attack today.
I notice the keep doing this troop extension every time they’re gonna do some stupid shit. Extend the troops - Biden does 1400 instead of 2000. Extend the troops - 15min wage is gets killed. Extend the troops - (whatever society screwing measure happens next)
Why do Republicans hate America so much ?
It's never going to end. I said this back in Jan. and it's still relevant today.
Come on man, it’s to keep Biden from getting loose. Dementia can do that to folks.
Two months will eventually become two years Sounds familiar
I’m old enough to remember Nancy Pelosi calling them stormtroopers...
Kids in cages and the southern border could use them more.....
2 months to slow the insurrection.
The Trump supporters creating the security concerns will continue to threaten the Capitol. At some point we need to treat it like any other terrorist threat and change the protocols at key buildings. Then take down the fencing.
On what basis?!? Today was the day they feared, for whatever reason, and nothing is happening! Why should they stay!
Totally Normal
It's telling and distressing that the Democrats are so scared.
yeah, what are they going to feed them, crap food?
I guess that’s what happens when you have an illegal/illegitimate president and administration..🤷🏻♀️ I guess the National Guard will need to stay there until, 2022/2024.. If the Biden/admin. Was legit, there would be no use for national guard!
So many of you just look to see if Dems or Repubs did something. That's what makes you determine if something is right or wrong. Hell you won't even question things. Why are the Guard still there? It has already been 2 months. When should they leave? When is it all too far gone?
Only tyrants need fear their people
TeresaMWalker Ridiculous! This bunch was afraid of a homeless camp. China, Russia, N. Korea and. Iran are laughingstock us. Pathetic
They need let them leave go leor cheana fein
Until the fall right?
It would have been great if the national guard were around when antifa and blm were rioting
Will they be staying in a parking garage again?
God bless them. I hope they don’t stay there for the rest year because I want to come to DC for vacation.
Wtf
The theatrics continue
Just imagine if they had put these forces in place prior to January 6th when they knew there was an actual threat.
Maybe start housing and feeding correctly them if you’re going to waste their time and our dollars
what a joke
There’s no legitimate security threat. Dems are using the national guard as a prop.
Let's call this what it is... THIS IS AN OCCUPATION OF A CAPITOL CITY
Farce
You Yanks are unbelievable!! Can you not see you are getting tbe pish ripped right out of you !!! A utter Laughing stock 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Jan 6 attempted coup: Arrest and prosecute the domestic terrorists, funders, organizers, ringleaders, aiders, abettors and kingpins as soon as possible. TimothyDSnyder & maddow re need for a commission to document the facts of the Jan 6 attempted coup.
Joke
Why? Are they not done poisoning them yet? Still a few more to put in a hospital?
they are lying to us all
Biden’s America sucks
Extreme and expensive paranoia?
Dems now state this as a threat
They gonna keep feeding them raw meat
I hope they're all on the same side.
The current regime's concerns, in other words.
Remember when the leftists and the media pretended to be upset when Trump called up the military to deal with BLM and Antifa rioters destroying Washington DC? That time they were literally burning down buildings across from WH. Now this. Insane. Leftists are insane.
This is not a job for the Guard. If they need more security they need to expand the capitol police, and maybe give them whatever crowd control training them Guard gets. Guard members have jobs and lives, and it’s wrong to keep them at the Capitol so long.
Fear!!! It's how these Democrats rule
Security concerns in an 80% Democrat city with Democratic majority Congress and Dem POTUS who received 80M votes. From who?
I'm sickened by the sacrifices our servicemembers are being forced to make as a result of the violent extremism promoted by far-right politicians like Lauren Boebert. She must go. Follow or chip in to help us unseat her in 2022! CO03 ByeBoebert
Send the bill to Trump
This is just an idea, but instead of extending the period how about arresting those that are talking online about a subsequent attack.
So walls and fencing are a good things these days?
also kenosha et al?
Here's a thought: How about we let these National Guard folks get back to their families and jobs, and reposition some full-time troops close enough and with a clear directive to respond if there is an attack?
The bunker government, 🤡🌎
They getting used to someone else do their jobs?
'Two more months'
Pussies
The former guy and his minions should all pay for them to be there too.
The dems are wrapped up in their own giant conspiracy theory.
Even the police are guarded by the National Guard.
Time to step on the gas and finish rounding up the insurrectionist and their co-conspirators. Also, someone needs to be taking notes over on the GMA feed in regards to the taunting and threats people are posting on the live feed about increased capitol security.
Had Q taken over the Government yet? Asking for a friend.
Defense officials say the Pentagon is reviewing the proposal to extend the National Guard's mission at the U.S. Capitol by 60 days. The more than 5,000 Guard members currently in Washington, D.C., are currently slated to go home on March 12.
