2. Gov. Northam does a good job. I don't know what

authority they have to go into the district, though.

The Maryland governor is a never Trumper so maybe he can help too.

4. Now we're worried about authority?

It needs to be stopped. Those fuckers have no authority to be in our building, disrupting and threatening our congress. I’m in favor of whomever is willing to go in and stop them. Hopefully all those magats will be in prison for life and be unemployed by morning.

6. The Guard has a hierarchy and will listen to its own

Leaders, not to you or me. I don’t know who has the authority to command them to intervene. Ryan McCarthy has command of the DC National Guard and per earlier reports declined to tell them to help.

CBS is now reporting that the DC commander HAS ordered the Guard to help.

9. Well, yeah ...

In a world that respects protocols and rules. We’re apparently past that in this country. I don’t know who has the authority either. I just hope someone gets a handle on it and the appropriate heads will roll.
