LMAO.. your losing your sense of reality..It was Pelosi call to bring the gaurd to the Capitol any time she sees a valid reason . She was told by the president to bring in as many as she deemed nessassary , but being as out of touch as her and all democrats are she brought none in., there is no wonder things got a little out of hand. .. The United States military keeps our adversaries from taking over the world not the liberal far left agency called USAID.. . Maybe with the USAID money being given to these countrys kept them entertained with the trans shows or drag queen plays that Biden was spending millions of our tax dollars on. What a joke and a waste of our money and that crap stops now.
Wrong. The Speaker of the House, is not in the chain of command, has no authority to federalize National Guard soldiers. I know this because I was in the US military for over 24 years. Deploying the Guardsmen is up to the president or the state governor. Blaming Capitol security on Pelosi is a long-debunked lie.

Lol again, your last post proves my point about Pelosi could have called in as many as 10,000 troops like Trump relayed to officials including a request from the mayor Bowser. Because Nancy declined more troops is not Trumps fault and disproves your statement. For the Washington post to say that there is some truth to Trumps claims means they are twisting the facts to demean Trump. The mismanagement of our country the last several years is inexcusable and the tax payers should be demanding a refund from our government for the wasted billions of dollars that they were responsible for. ..
OK, I guess you don't know what "chain of command" means. The US military doesn't just do what any politician says. When I joined the Army, it was taught and enforced to know the chain of command, where the top is the POTUS, the Secretary of Defense, Army Chief of Staff, and on down to the bottom is our squad leader, and nowhere in between were any Senators or Representatives. Not even the House Speaker. Pelosi could've phoned to request military help from the President, or maybe the state governor. It's no surprise that Trump is lying about Jan 6.
From the article:
According to Vanity Fair, Trump did have a conversation with his acting Defense Secretary Christopher Miller on the evening of Jan. 5. Miller told Trump they would provide whatever National Guard troops were requested by the District of Columbia. Trump suggested they would need “10,000 people,” as Miller told Vanity Fair. Miller said that he replied someone would have to make the request, and Trump replied “you do what you need to do.”
Miller did not take that as an order; Pelosi was not mentioned.
