54. My first thought, actually... it is the perfect set up

Malcolm Nance has repeatedly advised everyone to stay away from DC because if these yahoos in the masks trigger crowd trouble, there will be a reaction, probably just like in LA, except more likely to be instigated by Trump's minions. Malcolm says we need to bring out the biggest crowds we have ever had in every city all across the country, rather than travel to DC

We are having an event here in FW and Dallas is also having one. It is going to be HOT here which can be a deterrent but I will be there.

I would not be surprised to find there are a few "plants" in the rioting crowd to help stir up the pot, (back in the Vietnam era they were known as "outside agitators" If anything untoward happens in DC, he has enough troop strength to do some serious damage. He could still declare martial law but at least all the crowds will be elsewhere
