After extensive background screening for political affiliation fewer than 10% of the troops stationed at the Capitol (2,000) were eligible to be sworn in as Special Deputy US Marshals.

That means they are Trump/3rd Party/ or Bernie Bros.

But they might have said no because they hesitate to shoot civvies, we dont know until the test is shared.

    Everything I'm hearing from conservatives implores one another to NOT protest, to NOT attend any of these supposed marches and events circulating, exclaiming that they're false flags and honey pots. Meanwhile, everything I'm hearing from leftists is saying republicans are planning X march and Y protest! They're going to be armed! etc etc etc.

    It seems so clear this is all a weird optics game.

    My money's on if anything happens, it's a false flag, or curated by people in government. Even amongst radical far right people, I can't imagine someone wanting to sacrifice their life to harm Biden. It accomplishes nothing. Everyone knows Biden will be out of office due to his health in like 5 minutes anyway. And even Kamala, while cognizant, is pretty much a DNC frontwoman anyway.
