QAnon followers still think Trump will be inaugurated -- on March 4. National Guard will be ready

[marmar]

(Salon) Nearly 5,000 National Guard troops are expected to stay in Washington for at least another three weeks amid concerns over potential violence from QAnon adherents, some of whom believe former President Donald Trump will be inaugurated on March 4.

House Armed Services Chairman Adam Smith, D-Wash., cited QAnon chatter surrounding March 4 during a hearing this week with defense officials flagged by CNN.

"Some of these people have figured out that apparently 75 years ago, the president used to be inaugurated on March 4," Smith said. "Now why that's relevant, God knows. At any rate, now they are thinking maybe we should gather again and storm the Capitol on March 4 ... that is circulating online."

Pentagon official Robert Salesses said at the hearing that 4,900 National Guard troops will remain in D.C. through March 12 at the request of Capitol Police in response to "different missions" that the troops will support. He said there isn't a specific threat that the National Guard is tracking but the Pentagon will work with law enforcement agencies to evaluate any potential threats. .....................(more)

1. Do they have another backup date ready when this one fails? Like the end-timers always do.

4. Probably. ..... When is Trump's birthday?

11. I checked. Trump's birthday is June 14th

Flag Day. That should set them off.

6. Why am I beginning to think this is all a stunt?

You’re right. And then another day will be established and will come and go. Keeps that former guy in the headlines, wastes security resources and lathers up the Q crowd every so many months. Just keeps the story going and going and going.

8. I thought the same thing, they will just keep moving the date forward.

2. FFS!!! We're going to get a repeat performance by the idiot factor in the US? n/t

3. maybe we need to send 1,000 troops to Florida

to keep him from being "inaugurated" down there. what a spectacle that would be.. then we'd have "two" presidents, one for each half of the populace...

5. Maybe that could work

I mean..there were 2 Popes once...

[essaynnc]

9. during the Civil War...

weren't there two presidents, one for the union and one for the secessionists?? I fear this crap ain't over yet.

[SoCalNative]

10. Yes

this is true. But I sincerely hope that we are not headed that way again.

7. I'm not in law enforcement

And I certainly don’t want to turn DC into a police state.

But 5,000 National Guard troops doesn’t seem to be enough.

I don’t know the “right” number, but this needs to be a large, very well coordinated effort among military, federal LEO, and DC police. Visible. Ready to arrest and process on the spot. Etc. etc.

12. except this time they will all wear face coverings and dress in black and say they are antifa.
