Workers installed razor wire atop 7-foot fencing around the US Capitol on Friday as part of an unprecedented fortification effort ahead of next week’s inauguration of President-elect Joe Biden.
National Guard members are also being sent to Washington, DC, from as far away as Hawaii to provide security, with Maj. Gen. Kenneth Hara, the Aloha State’s adjutant general, saying the request for troops came Wednesday, according to the Associated Press.
A Defense Department official said as many as 200,000 Guard members have been authorized to protect the Jan. 20 ceremony, ABC News reported.

Next thing you know our new southern border wall will be used to keep us in.

If they need 20,000 armed troops with direction to use lethal force and razor wire atop 7' fencing, maybe your inaugurée didn't win after all.

(The Post has a typo. The Emir of Kuwait got around 150,000 to kick off Desert Storm.)

200,000 national guard troops? Razer Wire? What no anti-missile defense system? Maybe they can sail a guided missile frigate up the Potomac too.

Maybe all these troops are there for some reason other than is being reported.

Amazing!
Biden hasn't even been inaugurated yet and free speech is being completely censored and a police state imposed on the Capitol. Talk about moving quickly! We've become China and Russia in less than a week. God Help Us!

Something’s up. Don’t know what it is, but I’m pretty sure this is not about Slow Joe’s “inauguration.”

#5, they’ve had a guided missile destroyer tied up at the DC Navy Yard since 911. Don’t know if it’s still there.

It seems unbelievable that several hundred crazies, fringe extremists, and outright morons, from both sides of the political divide could cause the Democrats in the Federal Government to take such radical security measures including reportedly bringing in and emplacing 50 caliber machine guns at the Capitol, after Democrat political leaders failed in their security responsibilities before and during the violent mob action that recently took place at the Capitol building. It is said that there are now more soldiers now in DC then there are American troops in both Afghanistan and Iraq. One thing is for sure that violent mob action absolutely scared the crap out of the congressional “UniParty” aristocracy.
If you have been paying attention you have seen the DC career congressional aristocracy make a complete back flip from where they were during 2020, as Antifa and Black Lives Matter led mobs perpetrated destructive riots including arson and assaulting police officers in the big Democrat run cities where they caused a massive amount of physical damage to private and public property, during and after-which the congressional aristocracy and their media allies falsely called those riots mostly legal and peaceful protests, and always opposed Trump’s moves to send in additional law enforcement assets and troops to quell the riots, and arrest, and prosecute the perpetrators.

First they stage a no-security, fake insurrection and now they practice extreme overkill hoping that Biden will not have to suffer chanting of "fraud" "fraud" " fraud" and "stop the steal" for the hour that he will stand at the podium. Knowing that the Guard will not have ammunition would make this the perfect time for the new "Fort Sumpter." Spoken in a calm analytical tone, of course.

Optics. Pure Optics. Liberals are all about the illusion. That is why they are so good at making movies. It is all about the Optics and illusion. Where were all these NG and fences when Antifa and BLM were burning DC the past summer?

To show support for Dear Leader, the 200,000 guard members will be counted as being there to enjoy watching their guy get to be top dog. Total reported attendance at this inauguration: 200,200.

Agreed. It takes 200,000 troops (what if they refused to show up? Better yet: Why are they showing up?) and razor wire to get this seditious, Schwartz György, ChiCom funded superannuated traitor ingratiated.
How do you get up in the morning knowing you are a fraud and doing what you are doing predicated on 100 percent lawlessness?
Insanity comes to mind.

Looks like a temporary federal prison to be used for massive arrests.
No where to put all those criminals on short notice, so just lock them in, block any tunnels, and let the few patriots exit.

Could they be worried about Lil Kim's recent rant?
Guess they admit that walls/fencing work as a strong deterrent, after all.
I would not expect the Democrats to remove any of this fencing/wall any time soon.

They're going to a lot of trouble and expense to construct this Hollywood set- just to cover up the expectation that NOBODY would show up for SloeJoe and Kahmulla.

Are all of these national Guard Troops from Democrat States?
What does it cost to fly in National Guard Troops and their equipment from Hawaii?
Those troops have to be paid what is that costing the taxpayers.?
Make the Democrats pay for the Inauguration and the security.

And the left went ballistic when Sen. Cotton recommended having some National Guard troops on duty during the BLM/Antifa siege. Now D.C. must look like a Super Max prison compound.

Remember when the democrats accused Trump of wanting to do this as a matter of routine? I do. This isn't an inauguration, it is protection of a Fauxnauguration. He will never be legitimately our president. At least we have credible reasons why we don't have to accept him. They just had their childish and juvenile tantrums.

I expected Joe to name Hunter as head of the Treasury Dept. Another thought: I have to smile when I think of Joe and Putin settling their differences by who can do the most push ups.

Shouldn't the NG being flown in be quarantined for two weeks first? Then two for two weeks after they fly home? That's a lot of retirement points being earned, folks. $$$$$
