Something to think about for you right wingers.

I dont know that Trump understands even now that Jan 6 was a CIA/FBI operation with the full cooperation of those who controlled Capital Police.

This authority to activate the D.C. National Guard has been delegated, by the President, to the Secretary of Defense and further delegated to the Secretary of the Army. The D.C. National Guard is the only National Guard unit, out of all of the 54 states and territories, which reports only to the President.

...Former acting Defense Secretary Christopher Miller told the House panel investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol that then-President Trump gave no orders to prepare troops before that day...

Miller said he was “never given any direction or order or knew of any plans of that nature.”

“Obviously, we had plans for activating more folks, but that was not anything more than contingency planning,” he added. “There was no official message traffic or anything of that nature.”...

...
Gen. Mark Milley, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, who recalled how he felt about Trump not issuing orders to deploy the National Guard.

“You’re the commander in chief. You’ve got an assault going on on the Capitol of the United States of America,” Milley said. “And there’s nothing? No call? Nothing? Zero?”

First, to deploy the Guard to DC itself requires the sign off of the Mayor. To deploy it to the Congressional District, requires the leadership of Congress.

Second, that no order was given has nothing to do with whether or not Trump offered to activated the Guard. Those are two different things, and you are conflating them in a red herring defense.
 
  • To protect civil rights. This provision authorizes the president to use the military to suppress "any insurrection, domestic violence, unlawful combination, or conspiracy" if local law enforcement is unable to provide sufficient protection. It doesn't require the request — or even the permission — of the state. President Dwight D. Eisenhower used the power to send elements of the 101st Airborne Division to Little Rock, Arkansas, and to federalize the entire state National Guard to enforce court-ordered school desegregation. Presidents John F. Kennedy and Lyndon B. Johnson invoked the same authority to enforce other desegregation orders in Mississippi and Alabama.
What is a president's authority to send in federal troops?

That's an outrigth lie. Why do you keep repeating a lie that has been refuted over an over again.

Here's the timeline so that you can be informed and stop bloviating a moronic lie:

January 6th timeline.

Trump didn't wait three hours. A better question is that with all the advance intelligence about the size of the protest and potential for some to become violent, why weren't the National Guard called in and why was it denied by the Democrat Mayor?

1:13 p.m.: Trump finishes speaking.

1:26 p.m.: Capitol Police order the evacuation of the Library of Congress, Madison Building and Cannon House Office Building.

1:30 p.m.: The House and Senate adjourn to separate chambers to hear an objection to Arizona's election results.

1:45 p.m.: Rioters push past police and an officer announces that it is "now effectively a riot," although officers are trying to get compliance.

1:49 p.m.: Capitol Police Chief Steven Sund calls Major General William Walker, commanding general of the D.C. National Guard, to request assistance.

2:24 p.m.: Trump tweets that Pence "didn't have the courage to do what should have been done to protect our country and our Constitution."

2:38 p.m.: Trump urges people to "support our Capitol police and law enforcement," and tweets that "they are truly on the side of our country. Stay peaceful!"

So, from the start of the riot to Trumps urging people to stay peaceful, a total time of 93 minutes transpired. That would be about an hour and a half, not THREE hours that you falsely claim.

3:13 p.m.: Trump posts on Twitter that he's asking people at the Capitol to "remain peaceful" and not engage in violence: "Remember, we are the party of law and order–respect the law and our great men and women in Blue. Thank you!"

4:17 p.m.: Trump posts a video on social media telling rioters that he knows their pain and hurt. "We had an election that was stolen from us. It was a landslide election and everyone knows it, especially the other side. But you have to go home now ... We have to have peace. We have to have law and order. ... So go home. We love you, you're very special. ... I know how you feel. But go home and go home in peace," he says.



What we want is for leftist dimwitted wonder dunces to stop bombarding threads with bullshit and lies. ;)

The things you political whiz kids don't know. Trump could have stopped it at any time with one five second command on television. And it is the President, not the fucking mayor, who has the authority to call out the D.C. guard. It's the only guard in the country he can call out.
 
Asshole democrat governor of minnesots allowed the city to burn. Even the
Local TV stations were calling for this inept prick to do something.

No you are just lying, as usual.

....Mayor Muriel Bowser does not have the same authority over the D.C. National Guard that governors have over their states. She can only request guard troops from the Secretary of the Army. That request then gets sent up the chain of command to the Secretary of Defense for approval.

Even then, Bowser’s jurisdiction is limited. Because of the District’s finicky federal status of not being a state, she can only request guard troops to land that belongs to the city. That excludes federal territory, like the Capitol and its environs. The Secretary of Defense needs to approve the deployment of National Guard troops from any jurisdiction at federal land like the Capitol complex....

Trump needed to request the National Guard be sent to the Capital and he eventually did, hours too late.
