The US Army issued a stark rebuke of former President Donald Trump’s presidential campaign over the incident on Monday at Arlington National Cemetery, saying in a statement on Thursday that participants in the ceremony “were made aware of federal laws” regarding political activity at the cemetery, and “abruptly pushed aside” an employee of the cemetery.
You mean give them something to latch onto if they win or lose? If Kamala wins don’t expect just Jan 6 to be a bad date, Nov 9, Jan 20-21, etc etc. if they win, they get to point at this “egregious overstep” and do more asshatery.
You don’t need it. D.C. is an exception to Posse Comitatus. What’s likely is the Guard will be activated but not on site. So they’ll be about 30 minutes away if the police are getting overrun again. But I would be very surprised if the Metro and Capitol Police don’t do an all hands day and even more surprised if a crowd got through that. It would almost certainly require a use of force by the crowd that rises to armed insurrection anyway. At which point the NG gets the go ahead and either the 82nd or 101st (whoever has the alert brigade that month) gets a mass recall text. They probably wouldn’t deploy but those options have to start lining up early to be ready in case some large organized militia actually turns it into a fight.
The chances of things getting that far are statistically indescribable but that’s the reaction chain.

After, retribution hits against dems and biden for overstepping their power.
Well as long as it’s an “official act” it’s not illegal.
We both know that means jack.
