At the same time, why bother having any NG if you aren't going to trust them?

Isn't a private security firm + FBI guys enough?

And Biden is clearly terrified of going to DC (He "postponed" his rehearsal), and where is he? He's going to be president and he won't go to DC?

I will say, NOBODY, not Pelosi, or Xin Jinping knows for sure who will be president by the end of the week. The suspense is killing me.

We can assume Biden‘s messages are from his handlers, and strategic.

  • “Not trusting your own military“ is the worst possible way to demonstrate strength of leadership, in the same way that “following & spraining your ankle while walking over to the craft services table“ is a terrible way to demonstrate capability & vigor.
  • If you are Biden’s team, and he sprained his ankle while try to walk across the room for a bagel, you spin it to say that “he was roughhousing with his big lovable dog.”

“Not trusting your own military“ is absolutely terrible spin.

It’s difficult for me too conceive of why they would let him put such a weak message out to the country, unless they were in crisis themselves, and really feared coming to the capital.

Biden is clearly terrified of going to DC, he even "postponed" his rehearsal. Is he afraid Trump will IA him the moment he steps inside? And where is he anyways?

I can't promise you Trump will stay president. But nobody, not even Pelosi or Xin knows for sure who will be president.

Yes 👌

Argument can be made for waiting for his term to end, to soothe the TDS sub-set.

In the scenario of [DJT initially not prez, since bad optics]

[Optional: DJT gives farewell speech, & encourages patriots to be calm]

A. Action: Quick strike - get everybody (via USMCA, US Marshals, etc.)

B. Announce (Airwaves take-over and EAS)

Publicly broadcast a message covering these issues:

  • Announce credible threat, source the intel as “unanimous“: “Our intelligence agencies are united in this assessment.”
  • (note: Threat could be revealed as “attack on our infrastructure” - would set stage for FEMA)

Reassure, for personal & economic calm

  1. announce Trump no longer prez - That will calm the TDS crowd
  2. Emphasize “constitution provides this process to protect us from attack.”
  3. Emphasize “tangible & finite response, as set forth in the constitution.”
  4. Emphasize “We have interdicted the threat and are restoring normal operation to government, citizens are free to go to work, FEMA centers have been set up to ensure our people are taken care of”
  5. Give roadmap to reassure.

Just thoughts.
