Yeah, I agree. It's not going to happen. There was a lot of early what? huh? about the deployment of the National Guard. I've not had the spoons to track down what that looks like in DC but word was first that Pelosi and Mayor Bowser asked the Pentagon for deployment (though I'd seen pics that there were some Guardsmen already deployed). The Pentagon denied the request -- apparently because Trump refused. But there were also reports that DOD didn't want to deploy because they were worried what would happen if the madman gave certain orders. A couple of things happened after -- MD and VA governors agreed to send their people people in, FBI and DC Metro Police were deployed to the Capitol. Then there was this odd statement that acting Sec Def, VP Pence and some others agreed to deploy DC guard without the blessing of the Commander in Chief. Reports tonight are that Mayor Bowser had the authority to ask and that the White House had to intervene to get the deployment. So... unclear what went down.
