that's how I took it -- as a threat to those organizations, or a plea that "if you can't openly stand with us at risk of your job, just do a sick-out and make things easier for us"

college professor... those are just a few I read about last night in that pinned Hoarse Whisperer tweet. One woman from Texas flew to DC with her pals on a private jet. Many on DU believe that these malcontents are all toothless hillbillies living in shacks, but they're not.

Let's see just how many of you traitors have the balls to stand up against a well trained, well equipped phalanx of heavily armed National Guard and police, especially after the first shot is fired and your side starts to fall like sacks of shit thrown from a 20 story bldg.

Not too many I suspect.

to a core of few thousand willing to face armed and trained national guard and police. They already had their best shot at winning, now they will crawl back in their holes where they belong. If some actually show up with weapons, they will be arrested.

I fully expected this to be the next step. National guard needs to be all over DC on the 19th/20th.

and if they couldn't get 1 million non-militias together, they won't achieve 1 million showing up armed.
But nevertheless, I hope the relevant agencies are better prepared this time. I can only repeat what I said Wednesday, hose them down with water and it will be a very short insurrection.

And I mean like "National Guard patrolling the streets" and closing the airports type of locked down. And anyone who attempts anything even remotely suspicious should be arrested on site.

Fuck Trump and fuck these assholes.

Shut down businesses if they need to and make life miserable for the MAGAts. Compensate any business willing to close for the duration.

And please don't allow construction of another big stage where GOPers can speak and show their stupid ass.

Can D.C. just deny them a permit out of concern for national security?

to do it again, the governors of surrounding states should have NG posted at the borders leading in to DC and stop them from leaving the states and, thus, stop the flow of entry to DC from outside DC. The they won't have to go through the pentagon and get ignored again.
