Hours before law enforcement forcibly cleared protesters from Lafayette Square in early June amid protests over the police killing of George Floyd, federal officials began to stockpile ammunition and seek devices that could emit deafening sounds and make anyone within range feel like their skin is on fire, according to an Army National Guard major who was there.

D.C. National Guard Maj. Adam D. DeMarco told lawmakers that defense officials were searching for crowd control technology deemed too unpredictable to use in war zones and had authorized the transfer of about 7,000 rounds of ammunition to the D.C. Armory as protests against police use of force and racial injustice roiled Washington.

In sworn testimony, shared this week with The Washington Post, DeMarco provided his account as part of an ongoing investigation into law enforcement and military officers’ use of force against D.C. protesters.

Your Senate over the years ceded unprecedented power to the President.
Imagine with how Trump has learned, manipulated the key Depts of Govt with sycophants, mainly temp workers, & gamed the system, what a 2nd term would mean?

Will Biden inherit an R Senate that were suddenly deficit hawks?

Will if a D Senate, nuke the filibuster?

Will Biden be able to reach some consensus?

The larger problems are the powers that Congress gave to the Office of the President which will at the most receive lip service from Congress.

And those faults will be used again.

An Imperial Presidency is what you have and where the US is headed.
 
Elements of a battalion of the 101st Airborne Division were ordered to Washington from NC after Trump ordered SecDef Mark Yesper to call in some elite units. However, a 101st AD colonel went live on local television saying the troops deployed to Washington were saying to their officers, "We don't belong here."

This was June 1st and it is a seminal date in USA civil military relations because it was when the dictator wannabe Trump found out the active duty armed forces do not support him in this or in anything he would attempt against the Constitution and the people of the United States. Indeed when Esper the West Point grad was advised of the completely negative attitude of the deployed troops up and down the ranks he immediately ordered the 101st out of the nation's capital and back to Ft. Bragg. What a terrible name for a US military base btw.


So said Trumpolini:

Tear gas, threats for protesters before Trump visits church

“I am your president of law and order and an ally of all peaceful protesters,” he declared, before demanding that governors across the nation deploy the National Guard “in sufficient numbers that we dominate the streets.” And he warned that, if they refused, he would deploy the United States military “and quickly solve the problem for them.”

As an additional show of force, Trump announced he was deploying even more of the military to Washington, D.C., giving it the feel of an armed, locked-down city after days of violent clashes, arson and looting. “As we speak I am dispatching thousands and thousands of heavily armed soldiers,” he said, as explosions rang out in the background. “We are putting everybody on warning.” At one point, he stopped and pumped his fist in the air at National Guard members in the distance. "We’re going to keep it nice and safe,” he said.

Trump tried to invoke the Insurrection Act nationally which Esper advised Trump does not apply in the circumstance of the moment or time, supported by Gen. Milley the chairman of the Joint Chiefs who advise the potus on policy.

Most grotesque of all, as one can have no doubt, Trump had intended to have the active duty armed forces fire on unarmed peaceful protesters at Lafayette Square immediately across the street from the White House. Indeed, Pentagon told Trump what he could do with that idea.

What we know now is that the vast majority of active duty armed forces are opposed to Trump in his tyrannical designs and purposes against the people of the United States and our Constitution. And that it is the armed forces in Washington DC and across the continental United States that matter decisively in this.

The 101st is based in Kentucky, why were they in NC?

Well when they do not use it in a war zone, questions on safety do arise

There is no such thing as "no-lethal." There is "less-lethal".
 
Republicans are so stupid.

It's like they are forcing themselves out of power for the next 20 years.
 
trump used soldiers to seize a church for government use. There are not words.

Was that when democrats were trying to peace St. John's church to the ground and had stormed the White House?

SAY, the last time democrats stormed the white house, you know, the first time democrats waged a civil war against America, wasn't live fire used on them? I guess that's what you want congress to investigate, why live fire wasn't used of the mostly peaceful democrat terrorists who were assaulting the white house?

Well, you rigged the 2016 election, you bought dirt from the Kremlin and fed it to the DNCCP media to smear him, you had the KGB (formerly FBI), NSA, and CIA spy on his campaign. you embedded spies in his campaign, you set up meetings with Russian agents in the employ of your agents, Fusion GPS in a failed entrapment, you lied to FISA courts, you engaged in perjury and obstruction of justice in an attempt to frame him. You launched a 3 year witch hunt based on the lies you bought from the Kremlin, accusing him of doing what you were doing. You convened a Soviet style star chamber and a Stalinist show trial in order to justify an attempted coup.

Seems like you traitors have been pretty thorough in your treason, what do you have in mind for a follow up.

Oh that's right, you've started another civil war, with your ISIS/ANTIFA troops raping, pillaging, and burning across the nation. John Podesta says you traitor democrats plan to start shooting once you lose in November.

Communists tend to make things up out of whole cloth. Generally you find that very little of what they say or post is actually true.

As I recall, the mostly peaceful terrorists were attempting to burn down St. John's, and had earlier stormed the white house. Mostly peaceful democrats tried that against Abraham Lincoln, the first time democrats waged civil war on America, but Lincoln had them all shot dead.


Trump apparently wanted to use non-lethal methods on the mostly peaceful democrat terrorists. I think Lincoln had the better approach.

I suppose that's possible, but more likely is that the democrat terrorists are lying again, as always.



{The iconic St. John’s Church near the White House in Washington, D.C., is reportedly on fire as violent riots rage in the area and other major cities across the U.S.

“Unfortunately, I can add just a moment it does appear that St. John’s Church is on fire, the Parish office,” Fox News’ Kevin Corke reported live on air. “We went downstairs, and it is on fire.”

Corke then walked over to a broken in window and showed a raging fire burring inside the church.

“This is awful,” Corke continued. “We saw graffiti, once the door was broken, we saw something similar happen earlier and as you can see there’s definitely a fire here.”}

Except that's bull****. The fire was in the parish chapter house, and was hours prior to Trump deciding to have the way cleared for his stupid photo op.

Yep. It's certainly impossible for units based in Kentucky to be training at Fort Bragg in NC. Never happened. Not once in history.
