We own the white house this time. If they try this shit again the insurrection should be put down.
Theres one last job Biden needs to get right. A big part of how Trumps last coup attempt got so far was because security was very light that day and the response slow, as trump was still in charge of all of it.
This time Biden will be in charge. Maybe this time he'll take the threat trump poses seriously.
Agreed, I hope everyone will be diligently watching. It's hard to believe how close we have come (and how close we still are) to have our democracy be in such danger and so many people to not care or actively support it being harmed.
Cool. Biden is currently President. So there won't be any delays in calling in the National Guard.
How many Ashli Babbitts will it take to put this fascist uprising down?
On the plus side, if they insist on pushing things to the point where they get mowed down en masse, that's fewer morons and assholes to vote Republican next time
That's the part I don't understand.
He's not in office, so he can't delay any response.
Hell, if I were Biden, I'd have a plan ready with my cabinet (sec def, sec state, sec home sec), my joint Chiefs of staff, secret service, etc. Also have the governor of Maryland have his Nat Guard ready too.
Biden himself is safe at the White House. But I would imagine they will be more concerned securing the Capitol building.
If about 20 of them had been willing to die they could have busted in behind Ashli. Last go round she was the only one interested in taking a bullet for Trump.
They only got that far because Trump was in charge and ensured security was soft.
With Biden in charge, the national guard will almost certainly be ready and waiting, and it won't matter if 20 or 2000 Trumpets are willing to die for him
She probably had no idea getting shot was a possibility. It wasn't until she got shot that her cohorts realized they were in deep shit.

Bullshit. They were literally there to kill the sitting VP and anyone else who wouldn't rig the election for Trump.
You're talking about the people who showed up with zip ties and a gallows. Ashli Babbitt showed up wearing an American Flag as a cape. She thought they were pulling a patriotic stunt. Anyone genuinely there intending to kill flew Trump's flag, not the US flag.
im guessing she still did trespassing though?
Shit's still a crime unfortunately for her sorry ass.
Yeah he should go all the way. Also, only the most badass alpha maga supporters wear their name, phone number and SSN printed on their shirts in large letters while they do it, completed with some thin blue line flags, a punisher skull, and a no regrats tattoo
This man is a terrorist attacking America and so are his voters. They should be treated as such and put in jail.
