Trump's presidency burned down Obama's economy, mismanaged a pandemic that has cost 400k Americans their lives, and will go down in history as one of the worst presidents in our national history. #trumpslastday #covidmemorial #BidenHarrisInauguration #goodbyeDonnie
The officer we are honoring today was killed because Donald Trump refused to concede, spread lies about our election, and called for an insurrection on Jan. 6th, aided and abetted by right wing media and mainstream republicans.
On Jan. 5, former acting Defense Secretary Christopher Miller issued a memo to the secretary of the Army placing some extremely unusual limits on National Guard forces
Capitol Police didn’t stand a chance because Christopher Miller and Trump made sure the National Guard couldn’t help stop the insurrection to overthrow the government to keep Trump in the Oval.
“Before His Mob Stormed Capitol, Trump Participated In Security Planning.” Miller and Trump KNEW Trump supporters had weapons and would use violence to storm the Capitol.
former acting Defense Secretary Christopher Miller issued a memo to the secretary of the Army placing some extremely unusual limits on National Guard forces for that event. It’s not a to-do list. It’s a list of thou shalt nots. A long list. A list that says guard forces can’t arrest any of the pro-Trump protesters, or search them, or even touch them. And that’s just for starters.
When initial reports indicate that the handful of National Guard forces that were deployed to D.C. on that day were dedicated to directing traffic several blocks away from the area of the Trump rally, it may simply be because that’s the only thing they could find for them to do considering the restrictions that were given. It’s clear that these restrictions would have absolutely prevented any guard forces from trying to protect any location.
