There are now four times as many troops guarding the Capitol from Trump's insurgent army than there are in Iraq and Afghanistan combined.
The Pentagon announced on November 17 that they would withdraw troops from Iraq and Afghanistan until there were about 2,500 troops in each place. That will be the count by January 15, according to the Pentagon.
There are now about 20,000 troops assigned to guard the Capitol and downtown Washington through the Inauguration of Joe Biden.
Think about it: Trump's army of lunatics and fools and terrorists is more dangerous to us than heavily armed insurgents overseas.
That's where we are on the day that the House voted for the second time to impeach Donald Trump. 197 Republicans voted for the man who had them cowering under desks behind locked doors exactly a week ago.
They held the debate on impeaching Trump in the House chamber, which is now a crime scene. There are -- or were -- fingerprints of Trump's looters all over the Speaker's platform and around the well of the House. Every inch those Republicans could see had been defiled by Trump's insurgent army exactly 7 days ago...to the moment.
And 179 of them voted against impeaching him.
I hope the Trumpist members who are refusing to go through the metal detectors are punished severely.
197 voted against impeachment. You had the number correct above but just switched two digits in your last line. Happens to the best of us!
