As Pelosi and crew begin debates for a second impeachment, National Guard troops are armed and ready:
Update (1208 ET): Moments ago, Acting Metropolitan Police Chief Robert Contee said the National Guard is boosting the numbers of guardsmen around the Capitol complex to more than 20,000.
This is a substantial increase from over the weekend when 6,000 were deployed. The number was increased to a total of 15,000 on Monday.
Now, more than 20,000 guardsmen are expected to be armed and patrolling the Capitol grounds. It makes us wonder how large is the threat ahead of President-elect Joe Biden's inauguration on Jan 20.
Despite the insane amount of ambiguity, the contrast between Trump's team and the establishment is encouraging. The former seems confident and playful while the latter appears to be shaking in their boots. It wouldn't be a bad idea to get a couple weeks' worth of food before the 20th. Who knows what will happen between now and then.
