Looking at the footage of the Jan. 6 riot, it's unbelievable that it took hours before DC's National Guard arrived. Trying to wrap my head around it.

Why has everyone forgotten that the whole elaborate DC security apparatus KNEW WEEKS IN ADVANCE that this demonstration of scores of thousands of very upset people was going to take place on that day? They KNEW, and DID NOTHING?! Can anyone seriously believe that?
Replying to @marwilliamson
It was all planned.

Trump would not deploy them. Hogan tried to send his in, they would not allow it.
Replying to @marwilliamson
We need to find out why.

An inside job.

Almost as if it were planned THAT way, huh? Reminds me of the same miscalculations and bunglings by NORAD one Tuesday morning in September almost 20 years ago.

Now what is next? Now what for this country.

Likely because people spent so much time trying to get Trump to call the guard, since it is his responsibility. I understand Pence finally did after being forced to hide with the Senate.
