U.S. Sen. Rick Scott drilled down on the continued National Guard deployment at the U.S. Capitol Tuesday, saying he was flabbergasted and bemoaning a detail he claims has lasted for months on end.
By mid-afternoon, Scott was calling for those troops to return to their home states.
Thankful for the [troops] keeping us safe. These brave individuals have been away from their homes & families for weeks. But no one from todays Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee hearing seemed to know why. Its time to reevaluate the rationale for keeping them in D.C. & get them back home, Scott tweeted.
Scotts tweet followed up comments in that hearing Tuesday afternoon in the Senate on the Capitol Riots, in which he asked various law enforcement officials who were in place that fateful day about the decision to have an ongoing National Guard presence.

Considering that there are rumors of another attempt at an insurrection on March 4, having the National Guard spend a couple of weeks more at the U.S. Capitol appears prudent.

(10,285 posts)... he probably sees the Capitol police and National Guard as a bunch of Black, Brown, and White people trying to defend America. Rick may be more comfortable with the White Trump fans. They still would like to see their President back in charge.

Lots of buzz about March 4th, booked hotel rooms, Q thinking 45 will be restored to the throne. They don't like the optics of increased protection in DC?!? If they try anything again, we'll be ready this time.

(778 posts)All I have read is a bit of chatter about it, but what is significant about that date for the Oh So Crazy Ones?
Like was said. We also don't want DeSantis in office and we also don't want Scott in office and we don't get everything we want so why should Scott? He would probably open the doors for those crazies and show them around.
Is he aware of the fact that military personnel are often gone from home for a lot longer than the guard troops have been?

(2,000 posts)Inauguration Day
Until the ratification of the Twentieth Amendment in 1933, the official day for presidential inaugurations was March 4 . When the fourth fell on a Sunday, as it did in 1821, 1849, 1877, and 1917, the ceremonies were held on March 5.

It seems that's one reason why the Q nuts think it will become inauguration day for 45 to be restored to the throne. Whoever's directing this stuff is probably looking to cause terror and terrorism and disruption. Whether it's true or not, putting it out there generates fear and caution and some terror. And it could be a real plot, or some variation. I'm concerned about snipers and assassination attempts on any number of targets throughout the US.
There are a lot of crazy angry supporters of a crazy angry man. They need outlets for their rage and self-righteous indignation. There was a post today that was a screenshot of some crazy sh*t posted on gab, I think. Psychotic stuff we couldn't imagine. Here's the link. https://www.democraticunderground.com/100215169194
Seems like it was trying to build people's resolve to take action, with crazy convoluted logic.
I suspect there will be other dates that will cause a rallying cry among the crazies throughout the year. They're being monitored, watched, investigated, so hopefully we won't see them cause widespread or isolated terror acts.
