September 18th is the date for the next "rally" in Washington.

I am sure Homeland Security has that date circled on their calendar.

Between now and then, do not be surprised if Donald Trump is able to incite another riot, similar to the one on January 6th.

But, the Capitol will probably not be the target the next time?

Listen carefully and see if he starts talking about "the Bidens do not deserve to be in the White House". If he does that, he wants them to march into the White House and take it over. (They will need to overwhelm the Secret Service, just as they did the Capitol Police on January 6th) After all, the White House belongs to them, he will say.

It couldn't happen?

Don't bet the farm.

Way smaller footprint. Much higher wall. Hell, there is a wall. Totally different rules of engagement. Also, the Whitehouse does not have to permit protest activity on their grounds.

The Secret Service and Marine Guards will have NO SUCH reservations, and it wont be disorganized chaos.
It will be a tightly controlled bloodbath.

Wonder if DC might be a target that day?

It’s football season.

And a lot of these people will stay home to watch football.

There will be a very small gathering.

Watch.

While that may be a badge of honor to some, others may look on a mug shot as being detrimental to their career and social standing.

Like the did the capital bike rack barriers, they will start dying. The Secret Service does not give you a second chance. And the Marine Guards have orders as well.

But it won’t happen. It will be a non-event.
