65K troops on the ground in DC right now is not normal

[Johnny-bravo]

It's just sad that the new normal is going to be hyper-paranoia by every new administration, whether left or right. Paranoia is something usually exhibited by dictators, not a trademark of a healthy republic. A government "of the people, by the people, for the people" should have no reason to be paranoid "of the people". If it is, it should be asking itself why. Again this applies to both Republicans and Democrats.

We can help stop this by not engaging in or tolerating hyperbole in forums like this.  Stop humoring Little George by allowing him to post his latest conspiracy of the day.

LG is free to post as he sees fit. JB if it fits your agenda, all is  well in the world, as soon as it doesn't then censorship is your conclusion. I could post quotes from numerous Democratic members, including Biden that are equally horrific and want would that accomplish. If you don't agree or it hurts your feelings, simply continue until you find something your like or agree with.

Such an open minded, tolerant titan of progressive thinking. Your, "I'm right and he's wrong" certainty will definitely help build bridges. Then again, there's roughly 75 million conservatives of voting age age that might consider your offerings as mostly ignorant, one-sided, partisan dribble. Just sayin, Dude.

Like a romantic loves a good romance book or movie, I love a good conspiracy theory. Problem is there has never been a good one before. The push to divide America is evident right here, even on our own board. America is the home of free speech yet if you are conservative your speech is silenced. BLM burned and looted all summer. Antifa did the same. It was free speech and "mostly peaceful"? When Trump took office in 2017 there was violence and burning of vehicles in DC and I do not recall anyone crying insurrection then? While I once said I would never vote for Trump, it has become an issue a terrible situation where I actually did vote for him. The corruption in our government did not start in 2016. It has been going on for decades. This is not a republican democrat issue. This is a Constitution issue. Both parties seem set on pissing that away with all of the People's Rights. Another arty won't fix the issue either. I hope that 4, 8, even 20 years from today that life is good and I have been wrong. That isn't looking too good right now.
Just remember that any time you disagree with the main stream media or the government control you are called a conspiracy theorist. I disagree often! I do not blindly follow the next wave in the ocean or breeze in the sky. It does not offend me to be called something different.

How did he responding to (according to this source) 65,000 troops go down to20,00 to 25,000, in all actuality?

They probably recognized that Americans won't get riled up about false news if the former president's social media accounts are banned.
