Yep. That should change history.

Another Nazi reference too. That also suggests history is not your strong suit.

It wasn't about changing history.

FBI vetting Guard troops in DC amid fears of insider attack

WASHINGTON (AP) — U.S. defense officials say they are worried about an insider attack or other threat from service members involved in securing President-elect Joe Biden’s inauguration, prompting the FBI to vet all of the 25,000 National Guard troops coming into Washington for the event.

No big deal guys. Just another average, every day, college kegger that may get out of hand.

Well the FBI has a history of insider attacks, just look at JFK or his brother. The very last one I'd trust..... the FBI, then you have the CIA, etc etc etc! Hence the need for Trump to own his own security detail!
Or the FBI's twenty eight times they financed the assassination on the life of the French President Charles de Gaulle and failed. But look at all those they succeeded in killing. Installing the Shah, King Irdis etc.
But I wonder, who would benefit from a little assassination of an eighty year old demented child sniffer? Hey presto, unify the country and AIPAC gets Kamala Harris straight from the go!

It wasn't about changing history.

Yes, history remains the same, as well as the people who tried to abolish it. No more statues, art, culture of any kind unless it meets the standards of the leftist jackboot mob.

The Nazi regime in Germany actively promoted and censored forms of art between 1933 and 1945. Upon becoming dictator in 1933, Adolf Hitler gave his personal artistic preference the force of law to a degree rarely known before. In the case of Germany, the model was to be classical Greek and Roman art, seen by Hitler as an art whose exterior form embodied an inner racial ideal.[1] It was, furthermore, to be comprehensible to the average man.[2] This art was to be both heroic and romantic.[2] The Nazis viewed the culture of the Weimar period with disgust. Their response stemmed partly from conservative aesthetics and partly from their determination to use culture as propaganda.[3]

They don't want an American version of Anwar Sadat.

I am trying to come up with a state coup against a democracy that resembles the one that Trump has tried. I can't come up with one. You are truly uniq in this moment.

Getulio Vargas?

Exactly. i have no idea but the person responsible should be the Commander in Chief, Donald Trump. Do you think it was him? I don't. So who?

If you have no idea, why did you assume it was leadership and then just automatically cast aspersions on the person(s)?

Who ordered those 25,000 troops to cover DC? That's where you might look for any signs of an 'insurrection',

my preference is skipping the pomp and circumstance and just having him sworn in safely.

Fair.

But how much more of 'revenge politics' can the country take? (While China is watching the clock count down).

I'm too old to learn how to speak PC, SJW, 'Woke' or Mandarin.

Essentially political correctness boils down to “please don’t be an asshole”. Are you too old for that?

That the U.S. has to vet its own military and national guard members is a sad testament of where outgoing President Donald Trump has taken the United States. Few could have imagined the damage he would inflict in just four years: Fewer people employed than when he took office, more than 400,000 dead from the COVID-19 pandemic, a vast retreat from world affairs in which longstanding allies have been forced to confront questions concerning the durability of American commitments, and now the shattered assumptions concerning American troops’ loyalty to country and constitution.

President-elect Joe Biden is faced by enormous challenges. He must work to repair the badly damaged American economy. He must gain control over and then vanquish the COVID-19 pandemic. He must rebuild civil society and a community that embraces freedom and tolerance within the United States. That latter task may be the most challenging of all.

To succeed, he will need the courage to assure that all those who incited or participated in the Trump Insurrection are held fully accountable for their assault on the Congress and U.S. Constitutional framework. He will need to work toward renewing the frayed idea that the United States is a tolerant community, which is committed to freedom and is open to all and in which every person’s human dignity is respected. Success toward that goal will require that American society regains a full commitment to truth, fact, and the pursuit of equal justice under the law. Only then will the siren call of vapid Talk Radio or the conspiracy theories of QAnon lose their appeal and, in turn, lose their power to turn the minds of millions of Americans away from truth and tolerance, alike.

There is not nearly 400,000 people dead from a pandemic.

There is no supporting evidence for this claim. The CDC admits only 6% of reported deaths occurred from the pandemic virus

Get them in position, issue weapons and bayonets and now they need to be vetted?


I suspect they don’t have ammunition, yet......

sniper, counter sniper, counter counter sniper............

I'm already not an asshole. So that means I'm exempt from all that BS? Well good.

But you are kidding yourself if you think that's only what PC, SJW, and 'Woke' is all about.

The CDC figure is just under 395,000. Johns Hopkins University is higher, as there is a small delay for the CDC numbers due to processing and submission.

Removing statues doesn't change history. I for one don't care for statues to men who preferred slavery...seems you do. That's your burden
