They were deliberately stymied, Marianne. I watched the general in charge of the guard and someone assigned the guard's trained advance team to traffic directing and subway entrance guarding. Weren't even armed/dressed properly -had to return to the armory to get supplies first.

It appears as though we have only skimmed the surface of the depth of this horrific day. So much more to be revealed...

And then look at the yearly @DeptofDefense budget...really something hard wrap your head around!💥 In general - instead of the WASTEFUL military spending...I would rather see those resources devoted toward targeting VIOLENT CRIMES all across the USA> from carjackings to rapes.✔

May 30 2024 will be the 100th anniversary of Fred Trump getting arrested leading a violent mob of 1000 hooded KKK Klansmen that attacked the police in Queens NY.

The DC Police Chief resigned quickly. FBI and DOJ requested to help on Jan 3rd. DC turned it down because they dont protect Trump supporters.

1/ I'm looking for the simple answer. Not the "it was all planned." Trump is too lazy for that and incompetent.

It was a setup, planned in advance. The rioters were not Trump supporters. They were pretending to be Trump supporters. Who were they? Who funded them ?
